“I
gwa nin sarong maysadiri na nagtanom nin ubasan, kinudalan ini sa palibot, kinalután nin ginikán, asin tinugdukan nin bantayan.” Mayaman an maysadiri. Dawa dai kaipuhan, kinumpleto an saiyang ubasan. May kudál, ginikán, pati tore nin bantáyan. Gabos ini LECTIO DIVINA para sa proteksyon bako sana kan ubasan kundi kan mga tumatawo na saiyang tiniwalaan kan ubasan. Huli kan gabos na itinao nyang kasangkapan asin tiwala, sya nagdayo sa ibang banwaan. Siring kaini an Dyos sa satot. Ano an pagmati ko kan tiwala kan Dyos sako sa pag-ataman kan kumunidad sa parokya?
“Alagad, dinakop kan mga tumatawo si mga suruguon.” ‘Hinampak, ginadan, ginapo.’ Ini an ginibo sa mga propeta na nagsisingil sainda para sa Dyos. Habo kan mga tumatawo na madisturbo sinda sa saindang pagkamkam kan kayamanan kan kagsadiri. Ini man an panànaw kan mga tawo na igwang pagkamkam sa saindang mga puso. Habo nindang tinatanyog an saindang mga kunsensya. Buot nindang gadanon an tataramon kan Dyos sa saindang mga puso. Sain nagdadagos an tataramon kan Dyos sa sako?
“Iyo ini an paramána. Madya, gadanón ta sya asin kamkamón ta an saiyang pamána.” Ini an huring gawi nin pagrebelde sa Dyos. Matapos na tinawan sinda kan kasangkapan asin tiwala sa ubasan, buot na ninda ining biyong sadirihon, asin habo na sindang magtao kan maninigong himuluan sa kagsadiri. Ini man an istorya kan dakul sa sato. Nagigin maisip na kita sa pagtao giraray sa Dyos kan saiyang sapat na pursyento sa paagi kan paghiras nyato kan satong kakayahan, oras asin limos. Ano an yaman na yaon sako na bakong hali sa Dyos? 4
