When we are confronted with death; when we face serious many sparrows. St. Jerome commenting on the same passage says: if the sparrows are so financial difficulties; when afflicted with sickness or disability; when we are corrected cheap and yet fall under the providence and care of God, how can you who are eternal by or reprimanded by our parents, teachers or the nature of your souls be afraid that he whom friends, we usually take the wrong message, you venerate as your father will not take special the message of fear. There are widows or care of you. orphans, for instance, who no longer wish Do not fear those who kill the body but to live; those who have been fired for inefcannot destroy the soul; rather fear him who ficiency and no longer wish to look for new destroys both soul and body in hell.

The foundation of this courage is our being sons and daughters of God. There under the guise of pagtatampo. All these is only one thing to be afraid of: sin as well people have learned the wrong lesson of fear. Let us listen to the story of this little boy. as evil companions. What are the concrete ways to show our courage? Joey was only eighteen months old, who Speak the truth. Judges, lawyers and all was running around at a birthday party.

GIYA PARA SA PRAYER MEETING

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?

“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

HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY,
