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
Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 18, 2026
Matthew 22:15-21 presents Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees and the Herodians, who attempt to trap Him with a politically sensitive question: “Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?” (Mt 22:17). During Jesus’ time, the Roman Empire ruled over Judea,...
“All are invited, some refuse” ~ Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 11, 2026
There is a need to respond in a positive way to Jesus in order to participate fully in the new life he brings. This is illustrated in the gospel for this Sunday through a story about a wedding feast. The King invites many people. But many find excuses not to come....
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 4, 2026
Matthew 21:33–43, commonly known as the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, is a pivotal allegory delivered by Jesus in the Temple during Holy Week. Delivered directly to the chief priests and elders, the passage addresses covenant betrayal, rejection, and divine judgment....
“The Virtue of the First Son” ~ Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 27, 2026
The Parable of the Two Sons is directly addressed by the Lord Jesus to those who questioned his authority, the chief priests and elders. Rather than answering them directly, the Lord tells a short story about a father who asks his two sons to work in his vineyard. The...
“The Lord’s Mercy and Generosity” ~ Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 20, 2026
As mentioned by the Lord Jesus in today's Gospel, a denarius was a fair, standard day's wage for an agricultural laborer during his time. Therefore, the laborers who worked all day long were paid justly. The generosity of the landowner of the vineyard for those who...
“A heart bound to mercy” ~ Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 13, 2026
The dialogue between Jesus and Peter in Matthew 18:21-35 establishes divine mercy not as an exceptional concession, but as the foundational law of the Kingdom of God. When Peter offers to forgive seven times—a number already considered generous under rabbinic...
“The Lord is in Our Midst” ~ Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 6, 2026
In the Gospel, the Lord Jesus provides a communal way of addressing conflict and reconciliation. This way of the Lord balances the dignity of the persons involved, accountability, and restoration. The process initiates privately to secure the offender's honor and...
Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ August 30, 2026
At the beginning of the Gospel, Jesus already predicts His upcoming suffering, death, and resurrection in Jerusalem. He also reveals his identity as the Messiah who will endure the suffering, while redefining true discipleship. Isn’t it that this is the will of the...
“But who do you say that I am?” ~ Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ August 23, 2026
During his seminary years, a seminarian always believed it was entirely up to him, through his own efforts, to seek and find the Lord in his life. To him, his studies and all formation classes in seminary were simply his ways of searching for God. There came a time,...
Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ August 16, 2026
The encounter between Jesus and the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21-28 is one of the most challenging and most beautiful stories in the Gospels. At first it sounds harsh. Jesus withdraws to the region of Tyre and Sidon, Gentile territory, and a woman cries out,...
