Para sa ika-26 na Domingo (Taon C) “IGWANG MAYAMAN na nakabadong purpura… Asin nakahigda sa saiyang pintuan an sarong dukha na an ngaran Lazaro…” Ini an ladawan kan banwaan. Ini an kamugtakan LECTIO kan parokya. Igwang mayayaman. Igwang mga dukha. An nagsusuway sainda iyo an pintuan kan mayaman. An mayaman mayong pagma-kulog sa dukha. Alagad an dukha may pangaran. An buot sabihon kan Lazaro, an Dyos nagtatabang. Sa mata kan Dyos, si Lazaro sana an saiyang midbid. Sya sana an nakasurat sa libro kan kaligtasan.

The face of mercy fr. wilmer joseph s. tria
THE FACE is the mirror of the soul. It does not only give identity of the human individual, but it also reflects the inner character of the person. It reveals one’s intention, emotion and disposition.

Reflection
“Kan an dukha nagadan, dinara sya kan mga anghel sa daghan ni Abraham… Dangan nagadan man an mayaman, asin ilinubong, asin duman sa impyerno kun sain sya nagsasakit, nagkimaherak ki Abraham…” Naenot magadan an dukha. Tinàwan pagkakataon an mayaman na magbàgo. An susi sa saiyang kaligtasan iyo an pagtabang sa dukha. Alagad pinalampas nya ini. Kaya, kan an dukha magadan, nagadan man an posibilidad na sya makaligtas. An dukha na saiyang isiniblag iyo an kinugos ni Abraham. An nagsiblag na mayaman iyo man an sinayumahan ni Abraham. Ano an ginigibo ko ngunyan na paagi sa pagtabang sa mga dukha? “Nakikiulay po ako, Ama, na isubol mo si Lazaro sa harong kan sakong ama…” Nasabutan na kan mayaman na si Lazaro sana an makakatabang sa saiyang limang tugang. Maibabalik sana an hustisya sa kinàban kun ibalik sa dukha an kinamkam kan mayaman huli sa kapasluan. Alagad an simbag ni Abraham: yaon sainda an Bibliya. Dyan nakasurat an mga tugon nin Dyos dapit sa pagtabang sa dukha. Ano an tabang kan Bibliya tanganing masabutan ko an kamugtakan kan mga dukha na nakapalibot sa sakong banwaan asin parokya? n
I recommend calm and calm all the time.
