From Transformers to Trasfiguration OPTIMUS PRIME and Megatron are archenemies in the movie Transformers. They are the leaders of the world of robots that transform from cars in times of peace to soldiers in times of war. The movie was made for children, but it has a moral story for people of all ages—the fight between good and evil. Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, desire The transformation that Jesus wants us to to co-exist with humans contributing their experience is freedom from war and death own power to build human to freedom for peace and life; society.

“PAINUMA MAN ako...” Pinùnan ni Jesus an pakiulay. Susog sa tradisyon, dai dapat sya makiulay sa mga Samaritano. Kaiwal kan mga Hudiyo an mga Samaritano. Mayo sindang LECTIO katanusan sa biyaya kan Dyos. An Samaritanang ini bako sanang kaiwal kan mga Hudiyo, kundi ikinakauyam sya dawa kan kapwa-Samaritano. Ini an dahilan kun tano ta solo sana syang nagsasakdong tubig. Sya parakasala. Asin nakaanom na syang kabit na lalaki. Alagad, dawa siring kaini an kamugtakan kan babae, kinaulay sya ni Jesus. Asin an Samaritana natikbahan. Kasuarin ako sinurpresa kan Dyos asin bigla nya akong kinaulay sa tahaw kan sakong pagkakasala?

Reflection
Juan 4:5-42
Para sa Domingo 3, Kwaresma (Taon A)
“Sain ka makua kan tubig na buhay?” May kapahaan an babae. Paha sya sa tubig. Alagad, mas paha sya sa pagpadangat. Nagpuon ngùna sinda sa hababaw na urulay. Ngunyan, nagrararom na an saiyang pagkasabot. Luway-luway, naririparo kan babae na ibang klaseng tubig an sinasabi ni Jesus. Asin lalo ining nagdangog sa katukduan ni Jesus. Ano an mga kapahaan ko ngunyan? “An tubig na itatao ko saiya, sa saiya magigin burabod nin tubig na nagbubukal para sa buhay na daing kasagkuran.” Nakapagtukdo si Jesus. Nanùdan kan Samaritana an halaga kan saiyang buhay. Dai pa huri tanganing magbàgo. Igwa syang hababaw na kapahaan. Nakua nya ini sa panlalalaki. Alagad, dai ini nakatao saiya nin tunay na kaugmahan. Nadukhayan nya man giraray an tunay na kaugmahan, an kaugmahan na nagdadanay. Matapos na inako nya si Jesus, nagi syang apostol ni Jesus sa Samaria. Dakul an nagtubod asin nagsunod ki Jesus huli sa mga saksi kan Samaritana. Kisisay ko dinadara an katukduan ni Jesus dapit sa tunay na buhay? n
Let us live as if we were dead in Jesus Christ. Henceforth, let there be no further resistance to Jesus, no action except for Jesus, no thoughts but in Jesus! Let my life be solely for Jesus and my neighbor so that, by means of this unifying love, I may love all that Jesus loves. — st. louise de marillac

Sa tahaw kan gabos na iyan, padagos man an sakong pamibi na tabangan ako nin mahal na Dyos mapagian-gian man lamang an sakong buhay. Sa padagos kong nakatùdan na pasirisimba, nasimbahan ko an Misa kan kapyestahan ni St. Jude. Tinamaan ako kan sermon kan padi dapit sa mga agrangay nin tawo, sa kapagalan, pagtios, sa kawaran pag-asa, asin kun anuano pang mga problema.

An mga “transpigurasyon” sa satong buhay NGUNYAN NA Domingo kan Transpigurasyon, sa sarong mamuraway asin maliwanagon na pagkakataon nin pagpamidbid ni Jesus kan saiyang pagka-Dyos (Mt 17:1-9), kasabay kan satong mga hurup-hurop sa panahon kan Kwaresma, pano ta man nanggad rinirimpos sa satong mga puso an Kagurangnan? Ano an laman kan satong mga kamàwutan asin pamìbî? Pàno ta inaatubang an mga transpigurasyon na nasasaksihan ta sa arualdaw na sulog kan buhay? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Naging bisyo ko an paninigarilyo dara kan pamorningan na mga miting. Naging katol ang baga laban sa mga lamok, pantawidgutom kung kinakalam an sikmura. Magkapirang beses nang pinupundo pero pirmi akong nadadaog. Wa-epek ang sin tax ni Noynoy, ang namamaslong presyo ni Lucio Tan, dawa ang mga patakot na retrato kan gangrene asin throat cancer sa Marlboro. Hithit-buga, dawa magkulog ang daghan, atakehon sa puso, balik yosi. Kan Ash Wednesday, hinagad ko ki Jesukristo ang kusog. If Judas sold him for 20 pieces of silver, I cannot be worse in forsaking him for a stick of Marlboro. Nagtutubod ako na yaon siya sako, nagkakatarambunan lang kan sakong pagka-selfie. My journey to Jesus this Lent is losing my self. I am on my second nicotine-free week. Every desire tamed is a victory. Every battle won is a taste of Jesus. —name witheld ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Bilang sarong Kristyano, danay kong hinahagad sa Kagurangnan an leksyon kan Transpigurasyon. Padagos akong nag-aarang na iwaras man lugod sako an LABOR IN THE FIELD u Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria resumes Pastoral Visitation after the rainy months. Majority of the houses he visited and blessed are not active members of the prayer groups that he established in the Parish. Among the communities he visited was the railroad barangay of Capucnasan, in nearby Milaor town, which is in fact outside the jurisdiction of SJTP. However, its proximity and ease of access to the parish allow residents to consider themselves as active SJTP parishioners.
pusog na pagtubod, bako idtong dara saná kan magayon o masiram na pagmatì, bako idtong epekto saná nin pagkasulá sa abang gayon na ekspiryensya, bako idtong ngunyan saná sa momentong ini. Hagad kong gayo idtong danay, daing-untok na pagsarig, pagkamuot, asin pagigin marhay na tawo. Sa paghagad kong ini iyo man po an pag-akò kan sadiri kong mga kakundian asin kaluyahan, na ako matapô asin kaipuhan ko nanggad an grasya kan Kagurangnan.—parish volunteer ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
There’s always a big difference between the old and the young, a change that is very eminent in today’s generation be it in language or values. Almost all of us turn to material comforts and try to create false confidence. Transfiguration is a special event in Christ’s life that teaches me how attitude and values reflects our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The road may be narrow and bumpy but living His ways and to accept spiritual changes wholeheartedly will make me a better christian. Good days surely gives us happiness. We may not want bad days but nonetheless it gives
us experiences—experiences that can strenghten our character and be among God’s faithful. Our bodies change as well, but as the saying goes “the young are acts of nature” and “the old are works of art”. Hence, young and old alike, good days and bad days are essentials in our spiritual journey—a change i am willing to embrace for God’s greater glory.—vangie salak ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Transfiguration for me is a special event that reminds me of my personal relationship with Christ, to know and love Him more freely, to find peace in my relationship with other people, be detached from the material world and be focus on following Christ. It may be difficult and painful, but overcoming human frailties, having a contrite heart a sincere and grateful disposition, miracles could always happen to experience God’s graces and blessings. People could hurt us tremendously and yet when we pray for God’s healing graces we lead to a better and peaceful life. Dumping unnecessary fears and anxieties could calm my nerves and be get focused. I could create a life I want but living in God’s love is a better option.—anonymous
