Verbum Dei Philippines The Verbum Dei Missionary Family is a Catholic missionary community dedicated to prayer and ministry Jaime Bonet in the diocese of Mallorca (Spain).

"Verbum Dei" is composed of two Latin words which means "Word of God". The Verbum Dei Missionary Family (VDMFa) is a Catholic missionary community composed of consecrated men, women, couples and lay disciples at the service of the Word of God, to which belong all the faithful sharing in the same Verbum Dei spirituality and mission. It brings together individuals and groups of every state of life, age, culture and social condition, and its purpose is living and spreading the Kingdom of God. With the same motto of the first disciples of Jesus: "We shall dedicate ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word", the VDMFa aims to live and proclaim the Kingdom of God through prayer, the testimony of life, and the ministry of the Word, forming apostles of Christ and generating evangelizing communities. The Verbum Dei charism originated in 1958 with the apostolic movement of preaching called "Encounters" (Convivencias), given by Fr.

Gospel: Matthew 18:1-5,10

The angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father

In today's Gospel reading, the disciples ask Jesus who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus puts a child among them and tells them that true greatness comes from humility. He also speaks of the angels who are always in the presence of the Father, watching over His little ones.

The Gospel reminds us to remain humble and to trust God with a heart like that of a child. It also gives us a beautiful reminder that we are never alone on our journey. God watches over us and sends His angels to guide and protect us. Even when we are unsure of the path ahead, we can find comfort in knowing that God’s presence and guidance are always with us.

Lord, thank You for always watching over us and for sending Your angels to guide and protect us. Help us to have humble and trusting hearts, especially in moments of uncertainty. May we always be attentive to Your guidance and trust that You are with us wherever we go. Amen.

Gospel: Luke 10:1–12

The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few

In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus sends out seventy-two disciples to go ahead of Him and share the Good News. He sends them out on a mission to bring peace and make God’s presence known.

The Gospel reminds us that we are all called to take part in God’s mission, each in our own ways. We don’t always have to do something big or extraordinary. Sometimes, simply showing kindness, peace, encouragement, or hope to the people around us is already a way of sharing God’s love. What matters is that we are willing to go where God sends us and allow Him to work through us.

Lord, help us to recognize the ways in which you You are calling us to serve. Give us willing hearts to share Your love through our words and actions, even in the simplest ways. May we always bring Your peace and goodness wherever we go. Amen.

Gospel: Luke 9:57-62

Follow Me

In today's Gospel reading, several people express their desire to follow Jesus, but each of them wants to do something else first. Jesus reminds them that following him requires commitment and a willingness to move forward without looking back all the time.

The Gospel reminds us that saying yes to God is not just about our words, but also about our willingness to follow Him through our actions. There will always be reasons to wait, distractions along the way, or things that make us hesitate. But Jesus invites us to trust Him, take the next step, and keep moving forward in faith. We may not always know where He is leading us, but we can trust that He will walk with us along the way.

Lord, give us the courage to follow You wholeheartedly. Help us to let go of the things that hold us back and to trust You even when the path ahead is uncertain. Guide our steps and help us to choose You each day. Amen.

Gospel: John 1:47-51

You will see greater things than this

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells Nathanael that He had already seen him even before Philip called him. Nathanael responds in faith, recognizing Jesus as the Son of God. Jesus then assures him that he will see even greater things.

The Gospel reminds us that God knows and sees us even before we come to Him. While we may not always understand what He is doing or what lies ahead, but we can trust that He is always present and working in ways we cannot yet see. Like Nathanael, may we continue to grow in faith and remain open to the greater things God has in store for us.

Lord, help us to trust You even when we cannot see the whole picture. Strengthen our faith and remind us that You are always with us, guiding and watching over us. May we remain open to Your plans and recognize Your presence in our lives each day. Amen.

Gospel: Luke 9:46-50

The one who is least among all of you is the one who is greatest

In today's Gospel reading, the disciples argued about who among them was the greatest. Jesus used the example of a child to show them that greatness is not about position or recognition, but about humility and welcoming even those who are considered the least important.

The Gospel reminds us that we don’t always have to prove ourselves or compete with others. What matters more is how we treat the people around us and how willing we are to serve, even in simple ways. Sometimes the little things we do with a sincere heart may go unnoticed, but God sees and values them..

Lord, help us to remain humble and to have a heart that is always willing to serve. Teach us to appreciate others, to be kind in the little things, and to do everything with a sincere heart. May our words and actions always reflect Your love. Amen.

September 27, 2026 Sunday
Gospel: Matthew 21:28-32

Which of the two did his father's will?

In today’s gospel, we hear about Jesus talking to the elders and the chief priests. He reminds them that doing the Father’s will is shown not merely by our words, but by how we respond and live.

Sometimes, like the first son we face discouragement when trying to live out our faith. At other times, we struggle and face difficulties that block our way, like the second son. Jesus invites us to persevere and hold on to God’s word, even when we feel inadequate and doubt ourselves. We must remember that in this calling, the Spirit is there to guide our steps toward Him.
Jesus, grant me the grace to be sensitive to the Word, to see and hear You in my daily life. Bless me with the fortitude to persevere in prayer amidst my personal doubts and struggles. Amen.

Gospel: Luke 9:43b-45

But they did not understand this saying

In the gospel for today, we see that the disciples are confused and afraid to ask about Jesus’ words that they could not understand.

God’s will can feel cryptic and difficult to discern, especially when we try to apply it to our everyday lives. Try as we might, some things will be out of reach for our limited understanding, similar to how the meaning was hidden to the disciples in the gospel. Jesus invites us to keep faith when this happens. We are called to trust in God’s will and to not be afraid to go to Him in prayer asking for His light and guidance.

Jesus, grant me humility to surrender my pride and fears and the courage to draw close to You about my many concerns in living my faith in my everyday life. Amen.

Gospel: Luke 9:18-22

But who do you say that I am?

In today’s gospel we see Jesus asking his disciples about who the crowds say that he is and who they say that he is.

Often times it is difficult to understand what the Word of God is leading us to do. Like how Jesus asks and then rebukes the disciples for their answer, we too sometimes can be led to confusion about God’s will for us if we only rely on our own understanding. Jesus invites us to surrender and be more open to the promptings of the Spirit in our lives so that we can more closely follow in His steps.

Jesus, bless me with a heart that is sensitive to Your call in my daily life. Give me courage to surrender my worries and confusion into Your hands and to allow Your Spirit to move me as You would. Amen.

Gospel: Luke 9:7-9

Who then is this about whom I hear such things?

In today's Gospel reading, we see Herod hearing about Jesus' works in Judea and trying to see him.

This passage is a testament to how practising the teachings of the Bible can inspire others. Although Herod had not heard any of Jesus’ teachings or seen him in any synagogues, he was still curious and moved when he heard about Jesus’ many works in Judea. Jesus invites us to do the same for the people around us in our everyday lives, allowing the Spirit to speak through our actions as we live out the Word

Jesus, grant me the wisdom to see how you are inviting me to participate in God’s plans for my life. Bless me with the humility to allow the Spirit to guide me as I live out the Word in my daily life. Amen.

Gospel: Luke 9:1-6

Take nothing for the journey

In today's Gospel reading, we hear about Jesus summoning and sending out his twelve apostles.

We may often feel inadequate and unprepared, to the extent that we don’t consider the mission in our daily lives. Jesus reminds us that in order to fulfill God's mission each day, we need to rely not on our own strength, but on God’s will and grace. Like the apostles, we are invited to go with trust, taking nothing but what God provides.

Jesus, bless me with the humility to let go of my pride and reservations so that I can follow your plans for me. Grant me the grace to be Your hands and feet in my daily life, sharing Your love with those around me who are in need. Amen.
