Be-Attitudes

Divina

fr. wilmer joseph s. tria

THE BEATITUDES describe the very heart of God. It is poor in spirit, it mourns, it is meek, it hungers and thirsts for righteousness, it is merciful, clean, peaceful and ready to be persecuted and insulted. All these attitudes we find in the life of Jesus when he walked here on earth.

He was a good preacher, but he never security. Still, others think it is in being took money and enriched himself and his socially acceptable or in keeping quiet disciples. He mourned at in times of conflict. But all the death of his loved one. these are meaningless if we do SUNDAY He was patient and meek not have the right attitude as in spite of the stubbornness revealed in the Beatitudes. We of his disciples. He constantly attacked the are called to develop an attitude of giving, hypocrisy of the Pharisees and scribes and so we do not hoard; of setting aside our ego, extolled the righteousness of the poor and the so we can respond to the needs of others; of sick. He was merciful to the woman caught in directing our lives towards heaven, so we do adultery and never passed judgment on her. not settle for earthly success.

He rebuked Peter when the latter was ready Jesus is telling us that it is not enough to use his sword and start a fight. He endured for us to avoid sin.

Reflection

“KAMO AN asin kan kinàban...”

An asin mahalaga sa pagtaong namit sa kakanon. Ginagamit man ining pampalawig kan buhay kan sira o karne. Asin dawa ngani mahaldat, nakakatabang LECTIO ini sa pagpapila nin lugad. Bilang mga Kristyano, an satong mga gibo nakakadarang namit sa banwaan.

Nakakapalawig asin nakakapadanay man kita kan iribanan. Asin nakakapapila nin mga lugad sa paagi kan satong mga mahaldat na mga pagirumdom sa mga napapasala.

Sa panong paagi ako nagigin asin kan kinaban?

“Kamo an ilaw kan kinaban...”

Dawa sadit an liwanag, an bituon nakakataong liwanag sa kinaban. An bulan nakakatao man liwanag sa kabanggihan. An satong pagtukdo, pagpaliwanag asin paghulit—gabos ini nakakataong liwanag sa kalag kan satong kapwa. Nawawara an satong pagigin liwanag kun dai kita nagtataram, dai naghihiras kan satong mga nanunùdan sa Kagurangnan. An satong marhay na padara nakakatao man nin liwanag.

Sa panong paagi ako nagigin ilaw kan kinaban?

“Ibinubugtak ini sa patugmadan tanganing magdarang liwanag sa bilog na harong...”

Sayang an pagtukdo kun ini yaon sa salang lugar, sa lugar na dai nahihiling, dai nadadangog. Sayang kan dunong kun ini natatakpan nin takot asin supog. Mahalaga na masabutan tang marhay kun sain mapapakinabangan an satong mga katukduan. An mga propeta nagtaram. Si Juan nagtaram. Si Jesus nagtaram. Asin dawa sinda hinulitan nin kagadanan, dai sinda natakot na ibugtak an katukduan sa tamang lugar—sa lugar na sinda madadangog kan kinaban.

Sain ko nagampanan an pagigin propeta para sa sakong pamilya asin banwaan? Ano si sakong kasakitan? n

Peace before us.

Peace behind us.

Peace under our feet.

Peace within us.

Peace over us.

Let all around us be peace.

Holy Lives

TAON 2009 kan nawàran ako nin trabaho.

Sabi kan head office mi sa US, kaipuhan magbawas nin mga empleyado an kumpanya huli sa duplications.

ST. JUDE’S Dawa good performance ako sa kumpanya, nakaiba ako sa layoff.

Kan mga panahon na naghahanap ako nin trabaho, biyo akong pinanluluyahan nin buot huli ta either mayo talagang available, or habo akong akuon ta overqualified daa ako base sa dati kong work. Naisip ko garo malas an period na ito. Nauubos na si severance pay na naging pantawid ko kan panahon na mayong sweldo, alagad mayo pang nag-aaccept sako.

Kan panahon man na idto, sa dai maipaliwanag na paagi, sa nasakayan kong bus igwa nin katekista na kan inot huna ko bakong Katoliko. Pagkatapos nyang mag-pray, nagdistribute sya nin mga libreng istampita—si St. Jude. Patron saint daa nin mga imposible. Naisip ko, purbaran ko daw.

Makusog an pagmati ko na dawa purbar saná, kaidtong inot na purbar na ito, nagin deboto ako ni St. Jude. Hinagad ko saiya na tabangan man ako sa sakong pangangaipo.

An purbar nagin regular, nagin arualdaw. Si simpleng pangadyi sa kwarto, nagin regular na pagsimba. Si purbar nagin debosyon— sagkod ngunyan.

Garo luway-luway na milagro, nakakua ako liwat nin trabaho sa tahaw kan sakong mga pangadyi. Bako sanang trabaho kundi marhay na kamugtakan. Lain pa kaiyan, pinatalubo man sako an pagtubod. Sa hiling ko nagin mas marhay akong tawo.

after nina’s overwhelming damages

SJTP’s petition: widen road, cut trees along h’way DURING THE Parish Pastoral Council meeting on January 8, SJTP pastor Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria proposed to file a petition to LGU regarding road widening and cutting of trees along national roads. This was prompted by the overwhelming damages caused by countless fallen trees along the national highway in the aftermath of Supertyphoon Nina. Fr. Tria’s proposal was unanimously approved.

Last wednesday, January 25, Fr. Tria met the Punong Barangays Leticia Punzalan, of Concepcion Grande, and Regina Alcantara, of Del Rosario. Both pledged their support by securing a resolution.

On Friday, January 27, Fr. Tria discussed the petition to Naga City Mayor John G. Bongat, who happens to be an SJTP parishioner, and the latter was delighted to get the support of the Parish.

Mayor Bongat provided Fr. Tria a copy of two resolutions from Naga LGU: first, for the widening of national roads, and second, on the cutting of trees.

Here is the text of SJTP’s petition: “we, as residents of Naga City and in the exercise of our solemn duty to promote the welfare of our respective Barangays and Parishes, hereby urge the City Government of Naga to enforce courses of action for the immediate rehabilitation of our Communities, in the aftermath of typhoon Nina. Further, we recommend that local legislation be formulated, approved and implemented to mitigate the risk in case of natural disasters.

ST. TERESA’S COMMUNITY u On Sunday, January 22, parishioners from Sitio California in Concepcion Grande received an image of St. Teresa of Kolkata from Fr. Wilmer. The image will be enshrined at their Sitio Chapel.

Charity.

If you wish to help, call or visit the St. Jude Thaddeus Parish Office.

Specifically, we hereby move for the following: 1. Road Widening of National Roads; 2. Cutting of existing trees and prohibiting the planting of trees along the National Highway; 3. Prohibiting the planting of all invasive trees such as acacia and gmelina along local roads and streets, and regulating the planting of said trees in other public places; 4. Promoting the planting of indigenous trees such as narra, molave, yakal, and other plants, and flower-bearing trees such as kamagong, pili, ilang-ilang, banaba; 5. Designating areas where such indigenous trees can be planted and prohibiting the planting of such trees in non-designated areas alongside lampposts and electric posts; 6. Penalizing violations of prohibited acts as abovementioned; 7. Creating nurseries for indigenous trees in partnership with schools and universities and to plant such trees in designated areas including City and Barangay Parks;

8. Regulating the number of wires and cables per electric post, and requiring their proper maintenance; 9. Entering into an agreement with the electric cooperative to lay down collaborative courses of actions that will ensure efficient and effective rehabilitation after natural disasters; 10. Identifying the duties and responsibilities of the barangays, as well the assistance that may be provided to them, in case of natural disasters; 11. Massive information campaign on the duties and responsibilities of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office and the assistance that may be provided by private organizations; 12. Increase transparency on the allocation and disbursement of the local disaster funds.

These recommendations are founded on public knowledge that as a locality visited by typhoons, we must not rely on reactionary measures. Our great desire for progress must be accompanied by a greater commitment to common good. Hence, this petition.” n
