“DAI KA na pwedeng magin sakong katiwala.” Pinatalsik sa trabaho kan mayaman an saiyang suruguon. Huli kan mga nadadangog nyang mga huring-huding, nawara an saiyang tiwala LECTIO Divina sa saiyang sadiring tauhan. An katiwala inaapod nyato sa Ingles na steward. Sya an nagpapadalagan kan satong mga pagrugaring. An mga drayber na nagba-boundary siring sa katiwala. An mga nag-uuma kan daga nin iba, an mga kasambahay—mga halimbawa sinda kan katiwala. Mahalaga na sinda natitiwalaan. Ano an hinahanap kong ugali sa sakong mga katiwala? Ano an ugali ko bilang sarong katiwala? “Ano an sakong gigibuhon?” Mahalaga an puturo. Ini an tulos na inisip kan katiwala. Mawawàran syang trabaho. Alagad dai sya nagmuto-muto. Dai sya nagdrama. Ginamit nya an saiyang isip. Aram nya an saiyang kaluyahan. Aram nya man an saiyang kakayahan. Iniisip nya an saiyang paggurang. Kun igwa ako nin emergency, iniisip ko daw an sakong puturo asin puturo kan sakong pamilya? O iniisip ko sana an presente kong pangangaipo? “Asin inumaw kan Kagurangnan an madayang katiwala huli ta ginamit nya an saiyang isip.” Dai inuumaw ni Jesus an salang solusyon kan maraot na katiwala. An inuumaw nya iyo an listong paggamit kan isip kaini. Habo ni Jesus kan kurapsyon. Habo kan mayaman na iyo an nag-empleyo sa katiwala nin tawong dai matitiwalaan. Alagad, pinapagirumdom ni Jesus an halaga kan paggamit kan satong pag-iisip, paghurop-hurop, pag-atid-atid para sa satong kaaabtan. Ano an mga salang solusyon ko na sakong pinagbasulan? Ano an adal na naguno ko duman? n
Ina nin Kabikolan, ipamibi mo po kami.
