Diocese of Parañaque
The publication started and the group was formed in January 2001 on Epiphany Sunday. It was founded by a priest belonging to the Order of the Servants of Mary (OSM).
Through the years, members have come and gone but in total, ~50 individuals have been part of the team. These young individuals in their own time have been active at the St Peregrine Laziosi Parish ‐ Muntinlupa, serving not only as young prophets as they were fondly considered by the team’s early spiritual directors but also as Animators, Cathechists, Lectors, and Commentators. Members have recognized that their participation in the team had, if not, continues to be instrumental in their formation as Christians, responsible individuals, and upright citizens.
It is a noble and remarkable legacy NeoJ spiritual directors – past and present – are imparting to the youth of our Parish as they continue to assist them in their spiritual growth. They fulfill their priestly responsibilities to these young people, who in turn fulfill theirs as they impart the good news to their families and friends, and even to the juvenile delinquents they visit weekly at the National Bilibid Prison.
This is a testament to how God is working through and among his people!

Reflections by Team Neo Jeremiah
“THE HOLY FAMILY IN EGYPT” ~ Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
As we celebrate the Sunday of Holy Family, our Gospel today speaks about the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. For us, Servites, and for those who are praying the Rosary of Our Lady of Sorrows, this event is considered the second sorrow of Our Lady. To protect the...
“JOSEPH’S EXAMPLE: TRUSTING GOD’S PLAN” ~ Fourth Sunday of Advent
In the Gospel, Joseph is portrayed first and foremost as a just and righteous man whose commitment to the Law and to compassion shapes his initial response to Mary’s unexpected pregnancy; rather than exposing her to public shame or pursuing a harsh legal penalty, he...
“ADVENT OF TRANSFORMATION” ~ Third Sunday of Advent
The Third Sunday of Advent invites us to rejoice even as we wrestle with the tension between our expectations and God’s surprising ways. The Hebrew prophets offered many images of the Messiah—some, like Isaiah, promised a time of healing, restoration, and peace, while...
“JOHN’S CALL FOR REPENTANCE” ~ 2nd Sunday of Advent
In today's Gospel, we hear John the Baptist saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" The Baptist's voice cries out in the desert, "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.” John's mission was to prepare the hearts of the Jews during his...
“JUSTICE PREVAILS” ~ The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
In Today’s Mass readings, we may notice that the theme is about the kingdom, but in the Gospel, we hear about the story of our Lord’s Crucifixion. It’s kind of ironic, right? We celebrate the glorious kingship of Jesus, but our Gospel speaks about His suffering on the...
“CALLED TO BE A WITNESS TO CHRIST” ~ Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today's Gospel (Lk 21:5-19), Jesus tells his disciples about the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem, the signs of the end and the coming persecution of those who follow him. For the Jews, during this time, it was an insult to God when Jesus predicted that the...
“THE WORSHIP OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS” ~ Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
The Lord Jesus is the only Mediator between God and man. By him alone can we worship God "in spirit and in truth." (Jn 4:24) In today's Gospel (Jn 2:13-22), we hear about how Jesus expelled the merchants and money changers in the temple of Jerusalem. For the Jews, the...
“A HEART THAT DESIRES LIFE” ~ The Commemoration of the Faithful Departed
Today we gather in faith and remembrance to pray for all our beloved departed—our parents, grandparents, friends, and all who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. The words of Jesus in today’s Gospel bring us comfort and hope: “All that the Father gives...
“THE LORD EXALTS A HUMBLE HEART” ~ 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
In prayer, our hearts communicate with God, who knows us intimately. He honors those with genuine humility who acknowledge their sins. As sinners, we must seek His mercy for forgiveness and the grace to become holy and worthy. In today's Gospel (Luke 18:9-14), Jesus...
“DON’T QUIT: GOD’S STILL WORKING” ~ 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
📜 The Story in a Nutshell: Jesus tells a story about a widow who kept asking a judge for justice. This judge? He doesn’t care about God or people. But this woman? She’s relentless! She showed up every day until he finally said, “Fine! I’ll give her what she wants just...
