NAMING BABIES

This Simbang Gabi homily (Luke 1:57-66) was delivered at Mary the Queen Parish on 23 December 2023.

In today’s Gospel, we hear the continuing story of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist and the husband of Elizabeth, who happened to be Mary’s cousin. If you recall, he was the very first character we meet in the Gospel of St. Luke.

BELIEVING THE UNBELIEVABLE, IMAGINING THE IMPOSSIBLE

This Simbang Gabi homily (Luke 1:39-45) was delivered at the Church of the Gesu (Ateneo de Manila University) last 21 December 2023.

We’ve all heard the Visitation story before: Mary learns of her cousin Elizabeth’s pregnancy from the angel Gabriel, and she decides to make the trip to Judah not only to confirm the angel’s news, but also to help her elderly cousin out in what is surely expected to be a difficult pregnancy.
