Mateo 22:1-14
Domingo 28, Ord. Panahon (Taon A)
“I
kakaarog an kahadian kan langit sa sarong hadi, na naghanda nin kasal para sa aki nyang lalaki.” An hadi iyo an Dyos. An aki iyo si Jesus. An kahadian siring sa sarong bangkete. Pano nin kaugmahan. An Ama an nagplano asin nagandam kan kasal kan saiyang aki. Magastos asin LECTIO DIVINA makioras, alagad binuot nyang gibuhon ini. Amay an pagpadara kan imbitasyon. Depende an lulutuon sa mag-ako kan imbitasyon, tanganing mayong masayang na kakanon. An mag-ako may obligasyon na magduman tanganing dai masayang an inandam. Ano an sakong simbag sa alok kan Dyos sako sa pagtabang sa parokya?
“Uya, an sakong bangkete inandam ko na, an sakong mga toro asin pinatabang baka binuno na, an gabos andam na, madya sa kasal.” Ini an ikaduwang imbitasyon. An parehong tawo inimbitaran liwat kan mag-abot na an okasyon. Dakulang pagpakumbaba ini kan hadi. Dapat naanggot na sya kan enot syang sinayumahan, alagad, kan aldaw mismo kan kasal, inalok nya sinda liwat. Dakulang insulto sa hadi, alagad sya pa an nagpakumbaba. Mayo man giraray pakilabot. Sibot sa sadiri nindang kasibutan. Ikapirang beses na ining pag-alok sako kan Dyos?
“Katuod, pàno ka nakalaog digdi na mayong gubing na pangkasal.” Gabos nakagubing pangkasal. Igwang saro na nakitagasan payo. Buot makinabang kan biyaya kan kahadian alagad nagtutumang sa hadi. Buot pa ngani nyang rauton an okasyon. An gubing kasalihid kan ugali o kabansayan. An tawong ini nagbasang maglaog sa pag-iriba kan mga banal, alagad mayo lamang nin gira nin kabanalan an saiyang kalag. Kaya pinalayas sya sa bangkete.
Ano an gubing na pangkasal na mayo pa sako? 4
