Beloved Son Ministry Show

This week’s episode features Mr. Cheung’s sermon during the Stations of the Cross today.

Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Today we are invited to examine our lives and how we have spent our time. What does the account of our stewardship look like? Have we been faithful stewards and safeguarding God’s creation or have we been unfaithful ones, squandering the gifts God has given to us?

In the first reading today we hear from Third Isaiah, where we hear about the Israelites coming back from Exile. They find themselves face-to-face with a Jerusalem that is no longer recognizable. A devastated land, a land that was not filled with milk and honey. Yet, God tells them to rejoice and exult! Why? How? Later we hear Jesus sending disciples into the towns and villages like sheep among wo...

In this Sunday’s readings, there is a common theme of “yokes.” Elisha’s yokes of oxen. St. Paul’s reference to the yoke of slavery. Jesus’ analogy of placing one’s hand on the plow and looking back. These yokes can be likened to the attachments that hold us back and keep up from following the Lord reservedly and living the life for which we have been made — freedom, true freedom. What are the “yok...

On this episode of the Beloved Son Ministry Show, Philip is joined by his two older sisters and they discuss faith, life, and their late father. Click here to watch the video.

Today the Church celebrates “Corpus Christi Sunday” or the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. As Catholics we believe that the Eucharist is not simply a symbol of Jesus’s body or that it is merely a reminder of what Jesus did for us. Rather, the Eucharist, the bread and wine that has been transformed is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Our Lord. Jesus is rea...

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity , the great mystery of the Trinity, the mystery of Love, the mystery of God’s love for each one of us. As Catholics we believe in the Trinity, that is, there are Three Divine Persons in One God. We do not believe in three gods, but only One God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a mystery, but not one that warrants our solvin...

“ Peace be with you ,” “ As the Father has sent me, so I send you, ” “ Receive the Holy Spirit ” are three phrases that Jesus spoke to the disciples when they were hiding behind locked doors for fear of the Jews. Yet, Jesus appeared to them and spoke with them. Weeks later, the disciples along with Mary are once again in the upper room, but not in fear or hiding, but awaiting the Holy Spirit. Join...

"I am going fishing" said St. Peter, and the other disciples who were there said "We also will come with you." At this point, Jesus had appeared to the Apostles several times already. They were no longer hiding in the locked room. But instead of spreading the Good News that Jesus had risen from the dead, Peter went back to fishing. Jesus encounters Peter individually after His Resurrection, asking...

Blessed Divine Mercy Sunday! On the Second Sunday of Easter, the Church celebrates in particular the Divine Mercy of Our Lord. In the Gospel reading we hear Our Lord appearing to the disciples who were hiding behind locked doors for fear of the Jewish leaders. Jesus does not reprimand His disciples for abandoning Him in His time of need, but shows them His wounds and offers unto them, not once, no...

Tuesday within the Octave of Easter Happy Easter! Today is the Tuesday within the Octave of Easter. Every day this week is Easter Sunday. In this episode, Philip shares the significance of today’s date, April 19th, in his life and its relation to today’s Scripture readings . Click here to watch the video.

Happy Easter! The Lord has risen! Indeed, He has truly risen! You may choose to watch the video here .

Our Lord’s body was taken down from the Cross and placed in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, two devout Jews and Pharisees. On this day, the earth stood still, waiting for the gates of the place of the dead to be broken so that the souls of the just may be ushered up by the Lord. Today the earth is still and silent, eagerly anticipating the rush and noise of new life. Click here to wat...

Join Philip in praying the Stations of the Cross.

After being arrested, struck, questioned, sentenced, Our Lord was led to the praetorium to be scourged. He was then mocked by being crowned with a crown of thorns, dressed in a purple cloak and given a reed. Little did the soldiers know that they were truly crowning a King, a King who was chosen by God to gather all the peoples to Himself so that all who looked upon Him might be saved. His glory i...

Join Philip in meditating on the Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross. Click here to watch the meditation. “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” “Today you will be with me in Paradise.” “Woman, behold your son… behold your Mother.” “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” “I thirst.” “It is finished.” “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”

At the Last Supper Our Lord instituted the Eucharist and the Priesthood, leaving unto us the Church and a share in His inheritance. This moment was foreshadowed in the Passover when the LORD God spared the Israelites the death of their first born by the blood of an one-year old unblemished lamb. Today, the true Lamb of God will be led to His slaughter so that not just the first born will be spared...

Although the Suffering Servant has been given a well-trained tongue, he does not rebel or argue. He doesn’t even shield his face from “buffets and spitting.” Perhaps in his heart, the Suffering Servant is uttering the prayer of the Psalmist, “ In your great love, Lord, answer me ” because he knows the Lord hears him and will deliver him from his enemies. While the Suffering Servant and the Psalmis...

The Suffering Servant is spoken of as a sharp-edged sword and who through him Israel will be gathered once again. He will also be a light to the nations, the Light that will bring about the salvation of the world. But not without betrayal and suffering, even at the hands of the Lord’s own disciple. This is when the Lord says the He and the Father are glorified. Click here to watch the retreat sess...

The Prophet Isaiah speaks of the Suffering Servant who will establish justice and open the eyes of the blind and set prisoners free. Later the Psalmist cries out that the LORD is his light and salvation. In the Gospel our Lord is treated with kindness and luxury is poured out unto Him only meeting the criticism of His own disciple. Click here to watch the retreat session. Join Philip each night of...

Our Lord enters triumphantly as a king, perhaps to the Jews the long awaited Messiah who will restore the Davidic Kingdom on earth. The Jewish leaders tell Jesus to rebuke His followers, but He refuses, saying that if they will not cry out, the stones will. Our Lord enters triumphantly into the climax of His Father’s will.

When Jesus was told that His friend, Lazarus was dying, instead of running straight to seem him, He stayed where He was at for a few more days. This does not sound like the compassionate and loving Jesus that we know. Why does He do that? When He finally arrives, Martha, one of Lazarus’ sisters met Jesus and gave a statement and confession of faith that is quite amazing. Join Philip in reflecting...

After speaking with and listening to Jesus, the Samaritan woman left her water jar and went into town. The whole reason she went to the well at noon was to draw water, and now she doesn’t even take her water jar with her. What happened? What was it that Jesus said that made her abandon her water jar and go into town? And what did she do when she went there? Join Philip in exploring the encounter b...

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps one of the most famous parables in Luke’s Gospel. It tells the story of a father and two sons. One asks for his share of the inheritance and goes away. The other stays behind but his heart is seemingly even further away. Join Philip as he reflects on the younger son and how this may aid us in our spiritual journey.

The Jewish People and the Samaritan People do not get along for there has been dispute between them, from different places of worship to even causing damage and destruction to the other. Hence when Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman, she was taken aback. But this was not what had caused her shame and guilt. It was the fact that she had been living under constraint and in bondage. Jesus had come to...
