COMPANION SAINT PRAYER
-St. Mother Teresa, your thirst for Jesus opened your heart to love. Show me where my own soul is parched that I may drink from the Living Water that quenches all desire.
SCRIPTURE
- John 15:4-5
"Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing."

JOHN 4: 5-42 (Shortened)
So Jesus came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

In this ABIDE prayer, we enter the raw and honest story of Job—a faithful servant who trusted God even when everything familiar was taken away. Job reminds us that true faith is not the absence of questions, doubt, or pain, but the courage to remain with God in the midst of them. When suffering feels unfair, when prayers seem unanswered, and when God feels silent, this prayer invites us to stay rooted in trust and surrender. As we pray together, we place our burdens before the God who sees the whole story, who is present even in silence, and who remains faithful through every chapter of our lives. May this prayer strengthen your trust and renew your hope in the God who never lets go.
Hosea (Come Back to Me)
Performed by Kairy Marquez
Come back to me with all your heart
Don't let fear keep us apart
Trees do bend though straight and tall
So must we to others' call
Long have I waited for
Your coming home to me
And living deeply our new lives
The wilderness will lead you
To the place where I will speak
Integrity and justice
With tenderness
You shall know.
Long have I waited for
Your coming home to me
And living deeply our new lives
Beyond The Days
by Fr. Ricky Manalo
Performed by the Sunday 7pm Choir
Beyond the days of hope and mystery
we see a light of faith renewed,
and in our longing we thirst for guidance
to walk with you day by day.
Forty days and nights,
you guide the steps of our journey.
May your presence be felt
in the whisper of your voice.
Beyond the days of hope and mystery
we see a light of faith renewed,
and in our longing we thirst for guidance
to walk with you day by day.
Not on bread alone
are we to walk on this journey.
Speak the words that give life
to the yearnings of our hearts.
Beyond the days of hope and mystery
we see a light of faith renewed,
and in our longing we thirst for guidance
to walk with you day by day.
