You and I will only SUNDAY with the song Tears in behold the one true God, the Heaven can relate well Supreme Beauty that no man with our gospel this Sunday. The lyrics of can refuse to behold. the song includes the following, “would We will never be concerned with what you know my name, if I saw you in heaven. other people will say of us, we will never Would it be the same, if I saw you in be concerned of what we need, but rather, heaven....” What do you think? As for me, I we will simply be in total awe and wonder will still know your name, but you will never before our God. This is what beatific vision be my priority. is all about.

Reflection

GIYA PARA SA PRAYER MEETING

Lukas 21:5-19

Para sa ika-33 na Domingo (Taon C) “GABOS NA nahihiling nindo digdi—maabot an mga aldaw na an lambang gapo na nakapatong sa gapo marurugba.”

Andam na si Jesus na makilaban tumang sa mga tawong LECTIO Divina makapangyarihan.

Kaiwal nya na an mga Pariseo, Herodiano asin Saduceo. Tinaraman nya naman an mga Eskriba kan saindang pag-uuri sa mga balo. Dangan, inumaw nya an sarong balo na naglimos kan bilog nyang pagrugaring sa templo. Kaya, kan nadangog nya an mga tawong nag-uumaw kan Templo huli kan mga burak asin mga adorno kaini, si Jesus nagtuyaw.

Arin an urog mahalaga? An adorno kan Templo o an kalinigan kan sakong puso?

“Kagurangnan, nuarin ini mangyayari asin ano an tanda na ini mangyayari na?”

Kan pagpuon ni Jesus kan saiyang ministeryo, dakul an saiyang paradangog.

Kan nagpuon na syang magtumang sa mga makapangyarihan, dikit na sana an nagsururog saiya. Mala ngani ta kan naghapot an mga disipulo kun nuarin mangyayari an pagkagaba kan templo, apat sana an disipulo na kairiba ni Jesus sa alituktok kan bukid nin mga Olibo.

Duman natatanaw ninda an gayon kan Templo. Kan nakiiwal na si Jesus, dakul na an nagpapaipli.

Sagkod sain an pagsunod ko ki Jesus?

“Magmaan na dai kamo maloko…”

Dakul an mga parasagin-sagin kan panahon ni Jesus asin sagkog sa panahon ngunyan. Si Jesus nagtataong patanid.

“Dai kamo magbali-bali sainda.” Kan nagkaigwang gera, linog asin gutom, dakul an nagbutwang mga peke na propeta na nagtatararaman na madali nang matunaw an kinaban. May mga nagsasabi man na daog na an Dyos kan demonoyo. Mayo na Syang pakinabang sa tawo. An sinasabi ninda na maglaom na sana sa sadiri, bako sa Dyos.

Kun mag-abot an panahon nin makurang pagsakit, sisay an linalauman ko? n

Let us pray for our country, that peace and love may reign.

Holy Lives

IT WAS IN the late 90’s when we experienced dark moments in our family. I felt I was journeying in a dark tunnel where I couldn’t see any light.

One ST. JUDE’S day, while I was so desperately praying inside the Naga Cathedral, I saw a piece of paper on the pew. It was leaflet on St. Jude Thaddeus. On that day, I started a 9-day novena to thank God for knowing St. Jude.

In 2005, another trial came to us: our landlady insisted that we vacate the house within two months due to unpaid rent.

My prayer that time was specific: “Lord, please give us a decent house; I don’t want to live in a damp and dirty place.”

Then I asked for the intercession of St. Jude Thaddeus and committed to do a 40day novena.

Within 40 days, my prayer was partially granted when the owner of our previous house (we sold before) needed a huge amount of money for her to go abroad. She talked to us to pay for our house back and I said yes without even knowing where to get the money. She said she was also praying to St. Jude Thaddeus for a “yes” answer from us.

Thru the earnest prayers from both of us, it was like a miracle when a bank granted us a loan—with no collateral!

After seven years we’re back home.

Upon learning that St. Jude Thaddeus is the patron saint of our parish, I immediately paid him a visit in the church and saw a smile in his face.

sjtp experience: nagbábàgong-lawog an parokya jong surtida

CENTRAL TO the ten-day celebration of SJTP fiesta was the Eucharist—when one becomes Christ to another.

Designed “to form our social conscience and direct us to perform concrete acts of mercy to the society,” the fiesta themes challenged us to be missionaries of mercy and compassion to the peripheries.

The social mission of mercy and compassion was also reflected in the Mass sponsorships by involving all parishioners—from subdivisions to sitios.

It drew schools, government offices, nongovernment organizations and business establishments to participate in the devotional and liturgical activities. The ministries were vibrant and in full, active and conscious participation.

It may be oblivious to some but the “Teddy Serye” catechesis before each of the novena Masses played a part. SJTP Pastor Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria brought to the community the life of St. Jude through the language of the masses—a la teleserye.

He wove the daily catechesis not with a formal tone but with what the popular texture—spiced with wit, pun and drama, always ending with the familiar “abangan ang susunod na kabanata.” The tone of the

PARISH Ministries LAITY CLUSTER LAY PARTICIPATION is essential in the life of the Church in general and in the Parish in particular. This cluster is tasked to encourage every parishioner to be stewards of the parish. Thus, SJTP is introducing the following ministries: A. Recruitment & Parish Registration: this is tasked to encourage parishioners to register and to get involved in the pastoral programs of the parish by engaging in at least one ministry. B. Basic Ecclesial Communities cum SPARC: this is tasked to plan and implement the BEC in all areas

catechesis itself unveiled the intent to reachout to the peripheries.

What was most striking in the celebration, however, was not the sustained number of Mass attendees but the presence of new faces every day. The liturgy had included those in the laylayan—the small but significant. As observed by a parishioner, they responded enthusiastically to the call to come and to become one with the entire community. Through the celebration, the true face of the parish really took shape.

Naka-ulay ko ang mga parokyano hale sa Sitio Magdalena na labi an kaugmahan sa pag-akò kan imahen kan saindang patrona, si Sta. Maria Magdalena. Dai na sinda tuod magsimba sa St. Jude. Nakarani sinda ngunyan sa Simbahan huli ki Fr. Wilmer.

Namati subuot ninda ang pag-welcome kan simbahan sainda, anupaman an saindang gubing o estado sa buhay. Natatawan duon kayâ subuot ang saindang kadaihan urog na kung nakakataid ninda mga naka-uniform na parokyano. Kaidto dai ninda aram an mga aktibidad sa simbahan kaya dai sinda nagdudulok sa parokya.

Maluha-luha na inistorya ni Manay Tess na minsan nakisukob lang ang saindang patron sa sarong andas sa sarong prusisyon.

Kugos-kugos saná nindang dinara an patron kan saindang chapel sa parokya ta mayo sindang andas na maláad sa ilaw saka nasasamnuhan nin burak.

Bihira ko man mahiling ang mga aki na nagsisimba pag nobenaryo. Minsan nahuri ako sa Misa sa ikawalong nobenaryo, nakataid ko si JP saka si Arron sa luwas.

Dawa naka-tsinelas, naka-pansimbang gubing, tultol sindang nagdadangog asin nakikisumarò. Hinapot ko si JP kung tano nasa St. Jude sya. Pinapasimba daa kayâ siya ni Mama niya para maináan ang pagparamuda nya. Perfect attendance sya sa nobenaryo! Saka nabawasan na daa ang pagmuda niya. Inalok man nya si Arron, na nagsisimba man para makanuod saka mabawasan ang mga kasàlan. Nagkomunyon sinda kaiba si Arby, Luigi, saka Lawrence. Pero si Adrian saka si Arvin, nag-krus kan saindang kamot sa daghan ta dai pa sinda nakaka-First Holy Communion. n

and sitios belonging to the parish with the goal of putting up pastoral councils in each of the areas and sitios. It is within this structure that the existing SPARC program shall operate. C. Family Ministry: this is an out-reach program for the traditional families, solo parent families, and blended families. Activities are provided for fellowship, recreation and formation for the growth of faith.

Under the Family Ministry, we have the following services: 1) Marriage Encounter: some weekends are designed to make good marriages better. It can be done at retreat houses such as Caritas Renewal Center near St. James Village. 2) Retrouvaille: this program is designed to heal and renew troubled marriages. The word means rediscovery. This offers opportunities to

rediscover oneself, one’s spouse, and a loving relationship in marriage. 3) Single, Separated, Widowed, Divorced (SSWD): this is tasked to peer help and support those who are separated, widowed or divorced. Various programs and activities are to be offered throughout the year. 4) Pilgrimage Club: this committee designs and organizes pilgrimages locally and abroad for families, couples or individuals to enrich their faith and culture.

All funds go to support the catechetical programs of the parish.

Another ministry is the Renewal & Integration in Parish Ministries: this is the Parish Renewal Experience designed to reactivate interest in the Parish with the aim of enrolling them in one or two religious organizations, and eventually, into one or two ministries. n

Beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.—JUDE 20-21
