They are those who prioritize OUR GOSPEL this Sunday talks SUNDAY the gospel other than the about what we will become concerns of their daily lives when we accept Christ’s and occupations. Even to teachings and live by them. the point of leaving the family just to serve It is a reality that not all men will accept him, because they find it more important and acknowledge his teachings, and for this the things of God rather than the things reason, anyone who wants to be his disciple of men. This builds up their spiritual lives. shall be hated by some because of Christ. This will give them happiness in the next Knowing that this thing will happen, Jesus world. Our priority should be Jesus, for he prepared and conditioned his followers by said, “Whoever finds his life will lose it, saying, “do not think that I have come to and whoever loses his life for my sake will bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but division: mother against find it.” Fulfilment in life then can only be achieved if we make Jesus as our aim. her daughter, son against his father.” Some people may not understand why Christ is calling each one of us to stand we are doing good, some people will not still, to have faith, to have firm conviction even dare to listen to us when we express by what we have received from Christ. our faith in their midst, they might become Our faith should not be compromised angry with us when we insist, but one thing just because we wanted to please others and avoid being hated by them.

Reflection
Mateo 11:25-30
Domingo 14, Ord. Panahon (Taon A) “NAGPAPASALAMAT AKO saimo, Ama, Kagurangnan kan langit asin kan daga, huli ta itinago mo an mga bagay na ini sa mga madunong saka mga matali asin ihinayag mo sa mga musmos.” LECTIO Ini an ekspiryensya ni Jesus. Si mga nasa altasosyedad isinisikwal si Jesus. Si mga nasa gilid-gilid, apresyado si Jesus. Asin lalong pinapadangat si Jesus kan mga dukha, lalo man lugod na nauungis an mga mayaman sa saiya. Gurano ako karani ki Jesus asin sa saiyang simbahan?
Divina
“An gabos ipinaubaya sako kan Ama; asin mayong nakakabisto sa Aki kundi an Ama, asin mayong nakakabisto sa Ama kundi an Aki asin an buot pahayagan kan Aki.” Tanganing masabutan kun guràno kadayupot si Jesus sa saiyang Ama sa langit, isipon kun gurano kadayupot si Jesus ki San Jose. Inataman ni San Jose si Jesus kan aki pa, asin tinukduan kan gabos na kabansayan sagkod na sya magdakula. Tinutukduan kana ma, asin nag-aadal an aki. Alagad, huli ta si Jesus asin an saiyang Ama yaon sa panahon na daing kasagkuran, siring na sana kararom an saindang pagkadayupot sa lambang saro. Sa ngunyan, guràno kadayupot ako ki Jesus? “Madya kamo sako, gabos na napapagal asin nagagabatan, asin tatawan ko kamo nin kahingaluan.” An sakal ipinapasùngay sa hayop tanganing mapugulan an saiyang paghiro susog sa pagbuot kan saiyang kagurangnan. Ini an ginamit ni Jesus na símbolo tanganing saiyang ipasabot na kaipuhan kan tawo an sakal na iyo an tugon kan Dyos. An sakal kan Dyos magian, mahuyo asin nakakatabang. Alagad, an sakal na itinatao kan mga Pariseo asin eskriba nakakalugad, nakakatìlok, dai nakakatabang. Ano an nakakapagabat kan sakong buhay ngunyan? Ano an sakal na sùngay ko ngunyan? n

couples for christ
Bringing families to God’s embrace WE ARE LIVING in a time of rapid change. Everything is changing—social values, relationships, economic systems, ideologies, and many other things that affect life in general. Caught in this tide of change is the family. Some futurists predict that the time is coming when the family shall be totally irrelevant and unnecessary in a world that is dominated by technological change. In some parts of the world, the family no longer operates like it used to. We see this as a matter of serious importance. In the modern world, man has learned to band together for mutual protection. There are certain artisan guilds, trade unions, various business associations, all organized to protect and uphold common interest. But the preservation and strengthening of the family does not seem to be a matter of priority to many people. The family is
left exposed and unprotected against the forces that tend to destroy it. Now a spiritual revival has touched the earth. Christian families are feeling the need to be truly Christian in a modern world. Families are reaching out, crying for help, but they have nowhere to go. The help they are seeking is not normally available in the average parish. Whatever traditional help is available in some parish is usually inadequate. And in this time of growing darkness, many parents do not have a clear direction. They hear strange voices leading them to strange paths, all promising fulfillment yet all causing confusion. We believe that God wants us to rise up in defense of His work. We believe that the family is a creation of God, and
no one else has any right to change it, its structure, and its purpose. We believe that God’s plan for all creation continues to operate, namely, to bring all things in the heavens and on earth into one under Christ’s headship (Ephesians 1:10). Couples for Christ is a creation of God distinctly called to bring families back to the plan of God. Couples for Christ is called to bring the Lord’s strength and light to those who are struggling to be truly Christian families in the modern world. In submission to God’s will, Couples for Christ commits itself to this mission. Couples for Christ will serve wherever God brings it to serve, trusting only in His guidance and His power. n
Medical mission puts virtues of OM Perpetual Help into action THE JOINT celebration of the feast day of Mother of Perpetual Help and the 20th anniversary of SJTP was enriched through a medical mission day that provided checkups among indigent parishioners. Last June 25, 2017, a total of 120 patients were checked, 110 of whom were given free medicines. Some were also referred for further diagnostic tests and medical attention. Unilab Philippines extended free Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and Random Blood Sugar (RBS) tests. The medical mission team was composed of Dr. Andrew Espiritu, Dr. Lyn Espiritu, Dr. Noemi Casipit, and Dr. Josie Cabral, aided by nurses Pauline Alexandra S. Peña, Christine Espiritu, Ampy Pelonio, and Claire Intia, and medical technologist Don Panganiban. Nonmedical volunteers helped in setting up the temporary clinic. Medicines were donated by generous individuals and doctors who extended support despite very short notice. The medical mission was made possible through the efforts of SJTP Pastor Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria and the Health and Social Services Ministry of the Parish. The free medical mission was held to bring to life the virtues of Our Mother of Perpetual Help and the Parish’s commitment to care for the least, the lost, and the last. n

Samong Ina kan Danay na Tabang: Para sa Dyos, Para sa Banwaan ma. janaira r. tongo
Grade vi-df, Villa Corazon Elementary School
SI INANG Maria ang ina ni Jesus at ina nating lahat. Siya ang dapat nating tularan lalong-lalo na ng mga kababaihan. Siya ang hinihingian natin ng tulong sa ating mga problema. Siya ay maunawain at mapagmahal na ina sa ating lahat. Kung tititigan mo ang mga mata niya ay sobrang ganda; para kang mapapaiyak. Siya rin ay nagbibigay ng mga
biyaya sa atin. Si Inang Maria ay may magandang asal at ugali kaya dapat nating tularan siya. Nang maghiwalay ang aking mga magulang, humingi ng tulong ang aking ina kay Inang Maria kung paano na kami mairaraos ng sa hirap. Biglang tinulungan niya si mama na makapagtrabaho sa DepEd kaya kami nakalipat ng bahay sa Villa Corazon, Del Rosario, Naga City. Tuwing gabi ako ay nagdarasal kay Inang Maria na tulungan ang mga kapwa ko sa Marawi upang matapos na ang kaguluhan doon dahil marami nang namatay sa mga baril at iba pang sandata. Hiniling ko rin
na matapos na ang kaguluhan sa buong mundo. Humingi rin ako ng tulong kay Inang Maria na gabayan ako sa pag-aaral para matulungan ko ang aking ina. Tunay nga na si Inang Maria ay mabait, maunawain, mapagmahal, at matulungin na ina natin na dapat tularan ng mga tao sa mundo. Our loving mother, Mama Mary! n (This is the winning entry in the Essay Writing Contest on Our Mother of Perpetual Help, SJTP’s secondary patroness, on the occasion of her feast day on June 27. The contest was participated by grade school pupils within the parish.)
