God’s gift of presence fr. wilmer joseph s. tria

THE BEST EVER gift God gave to humanity is His presence. There are different kinds of presences. Touch is a proof of physical presence. Money is a proof of economic presence. Perceptual sensation is proof of virtual presence.

Facebook, Skype and Viber are some ways to be present. However, the presence of God is real presence. Jesus is born with flesh and blood.

But in order for us to be Second, the shepherds tell saved, it is not enough that us to listen to angels and grasp SUNDAY Jesus was born and is etertheir message. One angel gave nally present in humanity. The them a sign. “You will find an baby in the manger demands our response. infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and To best respond to God’s presence, we lying in a manger.” When we attend Prayer seek the shepherds for advice. They deserve Meetings, we give time to let the ‘angel’ our attention because they were the first to speak to us. We must be attentive and must visit the baby Jesus. They were the first to not miss the sign.

They are telling us to be ‘awake Third, the shepherds are telling us to get all night’. They were vigilant. They observed up and worship Jesus. Parents are told that the call of Advent. Like them, we have to this is not the time to shop at the mall, but know what is going on around us. Our to respond to God’s call.

The divine sacrifice of being born in a manger demands our best response.

Jesus deserves a gift from us. He is asking for our hearts. He is asking for our conversion. n

Reflection

AN ETHIOPIAN NATIVITY PAINTING

Lukas 2:16-21 Bagong Taon (Taon A)

“NAGHIDALI AN mga pastor pasiring sa Belen asin nakua si Maria asin Jose, asin an umboy na nakahulid sa bahugan.”

Mahalaga an oras. Dai na nagsayang oras an mga pastor. Sinda LECTIO naghidali.

Dai naghidali pasiring sa malipot na SM o LCC tanganing mamakal. Kundi, naghidali tanganing hanapon an umboy na yaon sa bahugan.

Duman nahiling ninda an umboy kaiba si Maria asin Jose. An satong debosyon ki Maria asin ki Jose iyo an magdadara sato sa debosyon sa Santa Misa kun sain an umboy na si Jesus nakahulid sa banal na lamesa para sa komunyon.

Kun ako alukon sa Santa Misa, nahihidali man daw ako?

Divina

“Asin rinimpos an gabos na ini sa puso ni Maria.”

Si Maria bakong matabil kundi mapaghurop-hurop. Mahalaga an paghurop-hurop sa buhay nin tawo. Dai dapat basang-basang naghuhusga. Dai dapat basang-basang nagdedesisyon. Kundi, dapat nagtataong panahon sa pag-adal, sa paghurop-hurop, sa paghinanyog sa tataramon kan Dyos bago pa man maggibo nin anong bagay.

Nagtatao man daw akong panahon sa paghurop-hurop kan mensahe nin Dyos sako?

“Asin nagpuli an mga pastor na nagmumuraway asin nag-uumaw sa Dyos.”

May darang hararom na kaugmahan an tawong nagsasamba. Sa pagsimba, nahihinanyog nya an tingog kan Dyos sa mga binasa asin sa homiliya. Siring man, nananamitan nya an hamis kan Dyos sa komunyon. Asin huli kan kaugmahan na dulot kaini, nadadara nya an parehong kaugmahan sa saiyang kairiba sa harong asin sa trabaho.

May kaugmahan daw akong namamatian sa pagsamba sa Dyos? Sisay an mga nadara ko sa pagsamba? n

Maugmang Kapaskuhan!

Magdanay man lugod an katuninungan asin pagkamuot sa kinàban!

Holy Lives

December 25-31, 2016

Yaon ki Kristo DATI KAMING nakaistar sa Sipocot. Kan kami nagbalyo nin istaran sa Camella, arualdaw akong nagsisimba sa San Francisco. Minsan, nagbisita si Msgr.

ST. JUDE’S Nono (Sañado) sa Camella asin nagsabi na an Camella kabali sa St. Jude Parish. Nagirumduman ko na si St. Jude an pighagadan tabang kan tugang ko kan nag-board exams sya sa pharmacy.

Kaya imbes sa San Francisco, nagsimba na ako sa St. Jude.

Totoo na si St. Jude an patron kan mga imposible. Ang agom ko kaidto dai ko lamang mapatuntong sa laog kan simbahan. Pighahatod nya saná ako dangan minatambay sa ibaba o minatext kun mapasundo na. Nagngalas na lang sana ako sarong hapon kaidto kan naglaog sya sa simbahan asin nagsimba. Puon kaidto arualdaw na sya nagsasabay sako magsimba.

Minsan kinaulay si agom ni Msgr.

Nono na magin saro sa mga Apostoles.

Naugma ako kan sya nagtugot na magin San Bartolome. Mas naugma ako kan sya magtugot na man na mag Lay Minister pero may dikit paghadit ta sa gabos na naimbitaran, sya an may pinakaleast chance na makadagos. May conflict kaidto sa iskedyul an EMHC formation seminar sa pagbyahe pa-Manila kan aki ko.

Mga baláog kan Kapaskuhan MAUGMA AN KAPASKUHAN. Pano ini nin magagayon na istorya. An panahon kan Pasko nangangahulugan nin ugma, pareho sa mga kaakian o mga gurang man. Pagtinarautauhan ini nin mga regalo, pagkaigwa nin mga parties, asin kadakol pa. Sa ka-Kristyanuhan, panahon man nin paghurup-hurop dapit sa pagkamuot kan Dyos. Sa Kapaskuhan na ini, ano man nanggad na an ipinagpapasalamat kan sakuyang puso? Ano an mga bagay-bagay na iniaatang ko ki Jesus mantang yaon sya nakahulid duman sa sabsaban—sarong umboy na Paraligtas, paradara nin katuninungan. Naghaputhapot an Weekly Parish Bulletin sa nagkapirang mga SJTP Parishioners, asin uya an saindang mga ihiniras: “Nagsuwayan kami kan agom ko duwang taon nang nakaagi. May bago na syang pamilya. Duwang taon naman kami kan aki ko na kami saná ang nagpa-Pasko.

Saralak ang kaanggutan asin pagkahirak urog na kung naiisip ko na an aki ko dapat ang nag-uugma sa saiyang ama, bako sinda. Para mapanuan ang kawàran kan sarong ama sa pamilya, napupuli kami sa magurang ko para duman magPasko. Dawa tinatago ko, dai nabubulong an garo maputok na bulkan sa daghan ko.

Pag-aling ko ang sadiri mi sa mga pagbakal kan mga bagay o sa pag-gimik, pero nakakatao saná ini nin hababaw asin halipot na kaugmahan. Kan Setyembre, may binalihan na sarong contest an aki ko. Nagbisita sinda sa aki ko. Imbes na mag-anggot o manumbat, dinulok ko sinda asin kinugos. Nagpakumbaba ako asin nagpasalamat ta tinawan ninda nin oras asin suporta an aki ko.

Amay an pamasko kan Kagurangnan samuya. That one small act of their coming and my embracing were most eloquent. It was a gift of forgiveness.

Napatawad ko sinda asin an sadiri ko.

Pinadara kan Amang Dyos ang saiyang bugtong na Aki para kita hàwason sa satuyang brokenness. I was broken.

He knew that and He touched me to heal and move on. Widows have a special place in Jesus’ heart, and the single parents of today are the widows in His time. It is comforting that He knows the interior struggles of single parents. Every day is Christmas because it is about His coming. He comes and I embrace Him in my daily struggles.”— legally separated, name & residence witheld upon request

“Tumatao an ama ko sa daga ni among.

Suanoy na an kustombre na mapasweldo an mga aki kan tumatao sa among. Kan ako 14 años ako, kinua na ako para magpasweldo.

Gurang na ako na asin may pagkatakot kun pano na an buhay ko, kung mayo na ako ning serbe. Iniisip ko na magpuli samuya pero mayo man akong gigibuhon, mayo man pamilyang naghahalat sako.

Minsan namumundo ako, iniisip ko man kun ano man daw an magigin buhay ko kun ako nagpa-agom mantang hoben pa.

Pag Pasko nagsisimba ako asin nagbibisita sa mga pamilya kan among ko. Dawa ako kasambahay saná, sinda an dinakulaan kong pamilya. May mga panahon na naghahanap ako ning pagmangno nin tunay na pamilya, pero sinda an pamilyang itinao sako na nagmamakulog man sako.”—kasambahay, name & residence witheld upon request “Nag-abroad an agom ko na may kimkim akong kulog-buót saiya. Nag-uulay man kami pero bakong bukas an lambang saro. Pirming pig-uungkat an mga nakaagi. Dai ko maintindihan kung tano ta kaipuhan ulit-uliton ang ginigibo niya.

Pinapanuan ko an mga pagkukulang nya sa pamilya sa paagi kan regular ming bonding saka sa mga material na bagay.

Pero an pagkaugmahan asin pagkamuot dai nababakal. Nagtadom sakuya an homily ni Fr. Rex sa ika-duwang Simbang Gabi. Dai pa man huri an gabos. Sabi nya an kada bisyo may katampad na virtue. Kaipuhan kong mag-stand up para mabisto ko man ang mga bisyo ko sa buhay. Mag-turn around para mabalikan ko an mga nakaagi sa buhay mi, pa-urugon an marhay, mapanuan an mga kulang. Mag-turn back para talikdan an mga bisyong nagin ulang sa samuyang pagtalubo bilang mag-agom

asin pamilya. Mag-turn about para isùlot si Kristo sa pagsabuhay kan mga virtues.

Mag-sit down para regular na maghuruphurop kan samong buhay asin pagpamilya para danay na magtalubo ki Kristo. Masakit asin halawig an proseso kan tunay na Christmas. Siring kan genealogy sa Gospel, an fullness nin mga bagay nag-aagi ning proseso. The beauty of things unfolds in God’s time.”—wife of an ofw, name & residence witheld upon request “Naghihilang man ako kan bangging idinalagan an aki ko sa hospital. Dai ko maakò na nagadan sya na dai ko man lamang sya nakaulay. Pirmi kong syang pighihidaw arualdaw sa mga pirmi nyang ginigibo, si mga gawi-gawi niya, si mga tinataram niya. Pirmi kong ginigirumdom si huri ming pag-ibahan. Naglalakawlakaw kami sa tinampo kan bigla nya akong kinugos. Pakakugos nya uli idto sako sa halawig na panahon, dawà nabigla man ako pero hararom si kaugmahan ko na mamati giraray ang kugos kan aki ko. Iyo na garo idto si pagpaaram nya sako. Like Christmas, family is about making good memories.

Ini an primerong Christmas na mayo sya.

Pero presente sya sako ngunyan huli sa mga shared memories ming na mag-ina.”

—mother, name & residence witheld upon request t p.2 Last year, may krisis an pamilya mi pero maluwag an pagdara mi kan problema.

Ini siguro an saro sa mga grasya kan pagsirbi sa Simbahan. Sa pagserbe, pigsesentro mi ki Kristo an pagbuhay. Mayong problemang dakula kun yaon ki Kristo. An lambang krus minagian kun united Saiya.
