FAMILY GOSPEL REFLECTION JANUARY 19, 2020 2ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME/ FEAST OF STO. NINO
OPENING PRAYER Dear Jesus, Thank you for inviting us to be “childlike”. In your name we pray. Amen.
GOSPEL LEARNING Today in the Philippines, we welcome the Feast of the Child Jesus (Sto. Nino). In the Gospel reading from St. Matthew, Jesus answered the question of his disciples about who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. Jesus presents a child as a model of how to be humble and teachable. Our guardian angels will surely be happy watching us every day.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 1 Nung sandaling yun, lumapit ang mga disciples kay Jesus at nagtanong, “Sino po ang pinakadakila sa kaharian ng langit?” 2 Tinawag ni Jesus ang isang bata at pinatayo sa harap nila, 3 tapos sabi nya, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo, kung hindi kayo magbabago at maging kagaya ng mga bata, hindi kayo makakapasok sa Kaharian ng langit. 4 Sinuman na maging mapagkumbaba katulad ng batang to, sya ang pinakadakila sa Kaharian ng langit.
5 At kung sino ang tatanggap sa batang ito sa pangalan ko, tinatanggap nya din ako.” 17 Siguraduhin nyong wag mababalewala ang isa sa maliliit na to. Sinasabi ko sa inyo, laging nasa harap ng Tatay ko sa langit ang mga angels nila. The Gospel of the Lord.
