DAY EIGHT:

MISA de GALLO

23 December 2016

and the night before (Simbang Gabi)

Mal. 3: 1-4; 23-24
Lk. 1: 57-66

INTRODUCTION:
The 8th Day of Simbang Gabi
/Misa de Gallo highlights the
example of Zachary, now a
converted man, silently
witnessing the unfolding of Gods
promise of liberation, brought to
us now through the Eucharist.

The Eucharist is the source

of renewal for the
individuals and BEC groups.

The sustaining power of every

group, community and every
Christian movement,
to overcome indifference and
complacency,
to reach out to the lost and
hopeless;

2 The Eucharist is the poverty of Jesus

disturbing the complacency of the
wealthy;

the wealthy sacrificing

house, family, and
fortune to lift up the
poor from their
poverty.

It is the Word of God

inviting the confused,
the lonely, the bored,
the suffering to the joy
of the Gospel.

It is Gods life
humanized in his
Incarnation; it is
human life
divinized in his
suffering, death, and
resurrection.

It is the compassion of the

Father touching the life of the
sinner; the conversion of the
sinner practicing the
compassion of the Savior.

3 The gratuitous love of God overflows

in the Eucharist.

This should inspire us to

participate more frequently in
the Mass.
Our BEC leaders and members
should grow in this as they
become more involved in the
activities of the parish.

3
One sign of the maturing
process of our leaders is
their increasing
participation in the
Eucharist and a
corresponding attitude of
gratefulness and
thanksgiving, generosity

CONCLUSION:

Participating in the
celebration of the
Eucharist is the
source of
communion.
