Mateo 10:26-33
Domingo 12, Ord. Panahon (Taon A) “KAYA DAI kamo matakot.” May tulong rason: Enot, “Ta mayong natatahuban na dai mahahayag, asin mayong hilom na dai maaaraman.” Kaugmahan kan demonyo an maggibong LECTIO karàtan sa diklom. Alagad, an gabos na ini mahahayag sa maabot na panahon. Ikaduwa, “Dai kamo matakot sainda na naggagadan nin hawak, alagad dai makakagadan kan kalag.” Limitado sana an kakayahan kan demonyo. Ikatulo, siring sa maya, gabos kita mahalaga sa mata kan Dyos. Ano an sakong kinakatakutan?
Divina
“An itinaram ko saindo sa diklom, isabi nindo sa liwanag; an nadangog kan saindong mga talinga, iharubay nindo sa ibabaw kan mga bubungán.” Sinusugo kita ni Jesus na dai sana ihinghing an saiyang mga katukduan kundi ikurahaw ini tanganing dakul an makadangog. Minsan, nagpipili sana kita kan mga madaling sabuton asin magian itukdo na mga katukduan ni Jesus, alagad linilikayan ta idtong makakapukaw nin kontrobersiya asin makakaraot nin iribanan. Arin an urog na mahalaga sa sako, an katukduan ni Jesus o an marhay na iribanan? “Kaya an sisay man na magmidbid sako sa atubang kan mga tawo, ako man mimidbidon ko sya sa atubang kan Ama kong yaon sa langit.” An pagsaksi ginigibo sa atubangan kan mga tawo. Ini nangyayari sa paagi nin pagtukdo asin pagsamba. An tawong banal sa Domingo kun nagsisimba alagad maraot pag-abot sa ibang aldaw kan semana bakong tunay na saksi. Napupukan sana an gabos na itinutugdas nya sa aldaw na Domingo huli kan karàtan na ginibo nya sa ibang aldaw. Pàno ako magsaksi ki Jesus sa atubang kan mga tawo? n

YAON NA samo an gabos ming kaipuhan kaidto. Anuman na bagay na buot mi, nakukua mo, huli ta an pinaglapigutan kan mga magurang mi ST. JUDE’S na magkaigwa kami nin maalwan na buhay. Nagtrayumpo sindang amay sa saindang negosyo kun kaya naitao ninda samo an marhay asin maugmang pagkaaki. Alagad nawara an gabos dahil sa sarong kasulo, sarong insidente na nagpaluya sa saindang paglaom, pati naman lawas. Huli ta nagkaklase ako sa sarong Katolikong eskwelahan, kinaulay ako nin sarong padi (na nagin sakong amigo) dapit sa nangyari. Hinulitan nya ako na dai mawaran nin paglaom, asin tugutan an Kagurangnan na magmaneho kan sakong buhay. Digdi nya man sako ipinamidbid si St. Jude. Dai ko nalilingawan, urog sa gabos, an hulit nyang “Mayong problema an dai nasusulusyunan.” Nagpadagos ako sa sakong buhay na iyo idto an motto. An Kagurangnan an bahala. Si St. Jude an sakong sagurong nin grasya. Nakatapos ako nin pagklase, nagkapamilya. Dai man kami nakarecover na siring kan dati, alagad makangalas na maugma. Pag binabalikan ko an gabos, totoo man nanggad, an disposisyon an minapabago kan gabos. Kun ibubugtak sana sa kabutan kan Mahal na Dyos, igwa nin paglaom an gabos. Pag binabalikan ko an mga nagin problema ko, na idinudulot ko ki St. Jude asin sa Kagurangnan, naresolberan man o dai, gabos sinda igwa nin katapusan.

To Our Mother of Perpetual Help Micah Espiritu
OUR Mother of Perpetual Help Thank you for our health and wealth You’re our everything we need And for what we ask, we plead. You helped us in our life And you helped us to survive. We intercede your help our Mother By this, things will get better. We admire your sinless perfection, And we admire you as one nation. And when trouble comes our way, We know your here to save the day. THE MOTHER Butler Guild (MBG) is a religious organization for women in the Parish and Shrine of St Jude Thaddeus. Internationally, the Guild was founded by Mother Marie Joseph Butler, an Irish nun of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Her devotion to Jesus was manifested in the care and the upkeep of the Altar. In the Philippines, the late Rufino Cardinal Santos established the Mother Butler Guild of the Archdiocese of Manila in April 28, 1961. In SJTP, the MBG was organized during the time of Msgr. Bob Carpio. It was recently reactivated by Fr. Wilmer Joseph Tria. There are three dimensions in the life of a Mother Butler: 1. study: Attending meetings, bible studies and seminars and retreats; 2. work: Performing assigned tasks like washing and sewing vestments and altar linens; keeping the altar clean and beautiful at all times; arranging flowers and preparing the materials needed for the mass. Members must also be familiar with the Liturgical vestments, linens and vessels used during Liturgical celebrations. And 3. prayer: Attending weekly prayer Mother Butler Guild... to p.4
