Longing for Jesus fr. wilmer joseph s. tria
ZACCHAEUS WAS an object of hate. He was a tax collector, a profession despised by the Jews. He enriched himself by working for the oppressors. He was not only an ordinary tax collector. He was the chief! He was considered a ‘chief ’ traitor. Such hate is similar to what we feel towards political leaders who desire no independence from foreign powers. A pivot to China or Russia is no better than subservience to the West. crowd so he could meet Jesus. Zacchaeus, however, Yet, he didn’t.

That’s exactly what by the hysteria of the crowd? Absolutely not. Zacchaeus did. He humbled himself before the crowd. And his humility was immediately Zacchaeus was a recollected man. He rewarded. It was not coincidence that Jesus had already heard much about Jesus. He passed by the Sycamore tree.

Reflection
GIYA PARA SA PRAYER MEETING
Lukas 20:27-38
Para sa ika-32 na Domingo (Taon C) “NAGKAPIRANG SADUCEO idtong daing pagtubod sa pagkabuhay-liwat, an nagdulok ki Jesus sa paghapot…” An mga Saduceo, saro sa tulong magkairiwal na nagkaLECTIO Divina sararo huli sa pagkaungis ninda ki Jesus. An duwa iyo an mga Herodiano asin an mga Pariseo. Garo sinda mga rungaw na pulitiko na magkairiwal alagad huli sa sarong marhay na kalaban, sinda nagkasararo. An tulong ini igwang kanya-kanyang hapot tanganing ipasupog si Jesus sa mga tawong nagsusunod saiya. Alagad, sa katapusan, sindang tulo an napasupog. Gurano kasarig an sakong pagtubod ki Jesus? Nadadara pa daw ako kan mga pag-ulog-ulog nin iba tumang sa katukduan ni Jesus? “Sa pagkabuhay-liwat, mapapakisisay syang agom?” An babae bako sanang kun kisisay na agom. Bako syang kasangkapan o pagrugaring nin sisay man. An satong enot na identidad iyo na kita mga aki nin Dyos, bakong katabang ni…, o empleado ni…, o agom ni… Sa katapusan, kita gabos aki nin Dyos. Ano an pagtratar ko sa sakong agom, empleado, o kasambahay? Nahihiling ko daw na sinda mga aki man nin Dyos? “Bako syang Dyos kan mga gadan kundi kan mga buhay…” Dai nanggad dapat kita mawaran nin paglaom. Buot ni Jesus na magkaigwa kita nin banwaan na banal digdi sa kinaban. An banal na banwaan, banwaan na may katanusan asin katuninungan. Alagad, dawa ngani dai ini mangyari huli man sana kan satong karatan asin kapabayaan, igwa pang paglaom na ini satong makakamtan. Makukua ini sa ikaduwang buhay. An rarom kan satong pagtubod iyo man sana an madara sato sa rarom kan satong paglaom sa buhay na daing katapusan. Ano an ginigibo ko kun nagluluya an buot ko? Ano an sakong sinasarigan? n

SJTP Fiesta 2016: “Sa saradit sanáng paagi” parish weekly bulletin staff
TÀNO TA MAY ta may dila nin kalayo sa payo si San Judas Tadeo? Tàno ta may imahen ni Jesus sya sa saiyang daghan? Ano’ng buot sabihon kan kapot nyang pamakol? Sain an Edessa asin ano an importansya kaini? Siisay si Hading Akbar? Tano ta pula an kulor ni San Judas Tadeo? Ano’ng boot sabihon kan ngaran na Jude asin Thaddeus? An mga simbag kan nagkapirang hapot na ini naisihan kan mga parokyano sa Teddy Serye ni Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria, pastor kan SJTP. Simpleng aktibidad bago magpuon an lambang Novena Mass syam na aldaw—Oktubre 19 sagkod 27—bàgo an kapyestahan kan SJTP, alagad saro man na pagpararom nin pagmidbid ki San Judas Tadeo tangani man na urog pang magin pusog an pagkamuot sa Patron. An gabos na aktibidad kan pyesta ngunyan na taon mga pagtaong buhay sa temang “St. Jude and our social Mission of Mercy and Compassion.” Sa laog kan syam na aldaw kan nobenaryo, binilog liwat an Confraternity of St. Jude Thaddeus, asin inakò sa pagiribang ini an maabot sa 200 na pamilya halì sa manlainlain na parte kan Parokya, kaibahan na an Sitio Salvacion, Gawad Kalinga, DRUPAI, Sitio Kapilihan, Padre Pio, May-Kayo, Sitio California, Sitio Balatungan, Kalye Putol, Sitio Tahaw, Sitio Sapang Palay, Sitio Magdalena, Riverside Capucnasan, asin Sitio Dulo. Kan Oktubre 26, sa ikawalong Novena Mass, itinao man sa mga taga-Sitio Magdalena an istatwa ni Sta. Maria Magdalena na ibubugtak ninda sa altar kan saindang kapilya. An lakdang na ini kaibahan man sa pagmawot na magkaigwa nin mga kapilya na magigin lugar-pamìbian an mga komunidad sa laog kan Parokya. An mga komunidad na ini iyo si mga nadumanan asin nasungko ni Fr. Wilmer sa inot na mga bulan kan saiyang pagigin pastor kan SJTP. Búlos nin grasya... from p.2 u Nagpuon saná sa pagbisita ni St. Jude sa harong. An pagbúlos nin grasya asin pagkahirak kan Kagurangnan yaon saná. An sakuyang pag-akò saiya an susì. Dai ko Sya pighanap. Ako ang pighanap Nya. (Si Socrates ‘Bong’ Aquiller iyo an Judas Tadeo sa doseng mga apostol kan SJTP. Saro syang lay minister asin nagtatao nin viaticum sa mga mayhilang asin may kakundian sa parokya tuyong Domingo. Si Lance, aki nya, sarong special child asin karakaiba nya sa gabos nyang gibong-paglingkod sa Simbahan.) n
KOMUNIDAD u Itinatao ni Fr.Wilmer sa mga parokyano hali sa Sitio Magdalena an imahen ni Sta. Maria Magdalena para sa sainda kapilya; kasabay ini kan pag-akò sainda sa Confraternity of St. Jude Thaddeus.
An pag-inkaminar sa mga informal settlers bako sanáng huli sa pagpadakol kan mga myembro kan Confraternity kundi na mairani an mga tao sa simbahan asin irani ang simbahan sa tao. Minàwot kan Parokya na mahali an mga pag-ultanan sa ‘igwa’ asin ‘mayò’, asin tanganì man na magabâ an wall of indifference; mahali ang poverty in relationships, asin na maging sarô nanggad ang gabos ki Kristong Kagurangnan. An mga paghirô na ini nakagamót sa mga tataramon ni Papa Francisco: “Sa kadakol na mga sosyudad, nakakamati kita nin makuring pagtios sa pagkakasararo huli man sa kawàran nin kapusugan nin relasyon sa laog kan pamilya asin komunidad. Biyo kitang nahahandal huli sa manlainlain na klase nin kasakitan, pagkakabaranga, pagkakasuruhayan, asin iba pang porma nin dai nanggad maparà-parà, paliwatliwat, asin urog pang naglalakop na mga pagkalulóng. An klase nin kadukhaan na ini malalampasan sa paagi saná nin liwat na pagkadikubre asin pagtaó nin halaga sa hararom na relasyon na sa laog kan mga pamilya asin mga komunidad, sa paagi nin paghihirirasan nin kaugmahan asin kamunduan, nin mga kasakitan asin mga kapanuan na parte nanggad kan buhay nin tawo.”
Sa mga saradit na sityo kan Parokya mapuon an Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs), bako saná para sa personal na pagpakabanal kundi sa pagpabanal kan bilog na pamilya. Sa mga house visits ni Fr. Wilmer, bihira subuot an pamilyang igwa altar; minsan ladawan pa ni President Duterte, ni Vice-President Leni, o ni Kgd. Baldemoro an nabebendisyunan nya. Digdi nabilog an konsepto kan primerong regalo kan Parokya sa mga pamilya: an magkaigwa nin imahen ni San Judas Tadeo sa mga altar sa harong. Sabi ngani ni Fr. Ronald de Jesus, “an meal ang puso kan pamilya, pero an soul kan pamilya iyo an altar.” May bagong ladawan ngunyan an SJTP sa paagi kan Confraternity. Dai saná kaini inaataman an debosyon ki San Judas Tadeo, pinapatalubo, pinapapusog man kaini an relasyon sa mga komunidad, asin ini paagi nin pagpapasalamat sa Kagurangnan. Sa paagi nin pagbakal kan imahen ni St. Jude, pagboluntaryo na magin prayer leader, pag-ayon sa mga socioeconomic programs kan Parokya, liwat na naiaatang sa Kagurangnan an kadakulon na mga balaog na itinao nya sa tabang ni San Judas Tadeo. Nagigibo ini kan lambang myembro kan Parokya minsan ngani sa saradit sanáng paagi. n
