TWO LOVES
he gospel tells us of two loves. These loves work like hinges to a door. The door opens and closes depending on the strength of the hinges. Christian life also works depending on the strength of these two loves. Love of God is meaningless unless it is made concrete by love of neighbor, and love of neighbor is meaningless if it is not an outflow of the love of God. According to C. S. Lewis, there to the poor and the disadvantaged, knowing are two kinds of love. The first is that she will get absolutely nothing from gift-love. The other is need-love. them in return. It is the love SUNDAY REFLECTION of a parishioner who selflessly When you give as much as you can to the other person without renders her services to the worrying about what you can get Church either as a choir member, a lector, back in return, that is gift-love. However, or a Eucharistic minister. Her services are when you give while expecting something in rendered free of charge and she knows that return, that is need-love. she gets nothing in return. This love is pure Most of human loves are need-love. giving. It is selfless. Need-love is what makes a little child ran to We need both gift-love and need-love. his mother when frightened. The child needs Our first act of love is need-love. It is our the protection of the mother, and this need is need for the love from God, for the love from an act of love. It is what makes the wife lean our family. That sort of dependence is not on her husband when she is upset. It is what bad. In fact it is very beneficial. However, makes us look for genuine friends who can we must also learn gift-love, the love of listen to us and love us in return. This kind pure giving. We must not act as spoiled of love is not bad at all. According to Plato, brats, receiving without giving. A one way love is the child of poverty.

Yet, this is not the cultivation. It is a command. Not all people noblest of loves. can be loved at first sight. But to love all The noblest of loves is gift-love. It is the people can be learned. That kind of love can love shown by parents when they work hard be cultivated the way we cultivate a garden. in order to provide security and education It takes time; it takes a lot of patience. And for their children simply because they want even if we fail to see any good in the person, what is best for their children. It is also seen we can love that person blindly, in faith. 4 in someone who is involved in an apostolate — Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria

Mateo 23:1-12
Domingo 30, Ord. Panahon (Taon A)
S“
a tukawan ni Moises nagtukaw an mga eskriba asin an mga pariseo. Kaya an gabos na isabi ninda saindo, gibuha asin utuba?” Matapos na batikuson ni Jesus an mga pariseo asin eskriba huli kan saindang pagparasagin-sagin, uya, bigla syang nagsabi na LECTIO DIVINA gibuhon asin utubon an saindang mga katukduan. An katukduan na ini gikan ki Moises, asin dawa sain saka kisisay ini ipahayag, tama man giraray an katukduan. Gabos ini katukduan kan Dyos. Kaya malinaw na dapat sunudon an katukduan dawa sisay pa man an saiyang pilion na magdara kaini sa katawuhan. Masunod daw ako sa katukduan ni Jesus dawa suya ako sa nagtutukdo kaini?
“…Alagad dai kamo maggawi susog sa saindang ehemplo: ta nagtataram sinda alagad dai naggigibo.” Bako man talaga idtong pag-umaw sa mga hipokrito. An pinakapunto ni Jesus yaon duman sa ‘alagad’. Tama an tukdo, alagad nakakasuka an saindang gawi. An hanap ninda pagpasikat, bakong paglingkod; siram bakong sakripisyo; onra bakong kapakumbabaan. Dai ninda nasusugpon an saindang arualdaw na pagkabuhay sa tataramon kan Dyos. Arualdaw sindang nagbabasa asin nagpapamibi kan tataramon kan Dyos, alagad mayo lamang gira sa saindang kalag an langitnon na katukduan. Sinda nagtutukdo na suway sa hawak. Suya ako sa siring na mga tawo, alagad, ano man daw ako? Tibaad siring man ako sainda?
“Kamo dai magpaapod na Rabbi: ta saro sana an saindong maestro, asin kamo gabos magturugang.” Hinali kan Santo Papa an titulong Monsignor huli ta an siring nagin titulo nin pribilehiyo, bakong titulo nin paglingkod. Para saiya, gabos na padi pantay-pantay asin sinda LECTIO/next page
the communion of saints
T
he doctrine of the “Communion of Saints” helps to explain the Church.The baptized all form one body and the good of each is shared by all. “Because Christ (the Church’s most important member) is the head, his riches are given to all the members through the sacraments” (St. Thomas Aquinas). The Church has all her riches in a A union exists between believers still on “common fund.” Her two-fold communion this earth and those who have died. This is both “in holy things” and “among holy union is reinforced by exchange of spiritual persons.” “God’s holy gifts for God’s holy goods. “Yet, we all form one Church and in people” The disciples “devoted Christ we cleave together” (Vatican ii). themselves to the apostles’ teaching The Saints in heaven FEAST DAYS and fellowship, to the breaking of the establish the whole Church & HOLY LIVES bread, and the prayers” (Acts 2:42). in holiness.

St. Jude na katuod
A
ki pa ako, si St. Jude na an refuge ko. Huli ta nagdakula akong nasa abroad an sakong mga magurang, nagtalubo ako sa pagsarig sa patron kan mga imposible na ipinamidbid sako kan sakong Lola na labi ka-deboto ni St. Jude. Pag ako napupungaw ki Mama saka ki Papa, ST. JUDE’S INTERCESSION apwera ki Lola, si St. Jude an kinakaulay ko. Saiya ko ilinuluwas an gabos na buot kong sabihon: an sakong mga kaugmahan, kamunduan, mga kamawutan, mga kaluyahan, pati an mga crush ko kadto saiya ko nasasabi—lalo na ta istrikto si Lola. Pag igwa ako nin kaipuhan, lalo na idtong mga dai man makukua sa paagi nin kwarta, arog kan kusog nin buot, o courage, kumpyansa sa sadiri, asin iba pang disposisyon na magpaparahay sa sakong buhay, si St. Jude an sakong dinudulok. Pag igwa akong mga frustrations, urog na kun pagmati ko napaparayo ako ki God, o nanluluya ako ta pagmati ko dai ni God itinatao an gusto ko, si St. Jude an dinudumanan ko. Sya an nagko-console sako, an nagpapakusog, sya an nagtutukdo kun sala ako, an nagtatama kan sala kong paghiling. Tunay na sya sarong paagi ni Lord tanganing mas mamatian ko pa an pagpadangat asin pag-ataman nya sako. Ngunyan na madali na akong mag-agom, si St. Jude man an sinasarigan ko na maiba samo kan magiging agom ko sa buhaypamilya. Hinahagad ko saiya na bantayan kami asin pirmi kaming irani ki God. 4 Si Aileen Sy sarong deboto ni St. Jude. Kinuá sa www.stjudemanila.com. BALAOG SA TABANG NI ST. JUDE?

There is Salvacion in Del Rosario
T
he year 1995 was a great year, not only that internet was introduced to public consciousness, but the residents of the Urban Poor Village in Zone 1 of Del Rosario, Naga City, started its Marian devotion through the conduct of Santacruzan. .
They made temporary place of worship by making a nipa hut made of indigenous materials done by many hands through the bayanihan spirit. The hut did not last long as it was made only of light materials, and Typhoon Rosing hit the city. Bouncing back to the continuity of their May tradition, on August 30, 1997, six leaders, namely: Erning Abogado, Melvin Artiaga, Pete Villafuerte, Tony Lalaguna, Boboy Serrano and Melit Guevarra, had a sort of meeting deciding on constructing a chapel again. With limited resources they have they use bunga trees (betel nut) as the foundation of the chapel. Again the bayanihan spirit ensued with residents contributing for materials and other logistics needs just in order to finish their small chapel.
After the blessing and dedication in honor of St. Jude Thaddeus took place on December 8, 2002, the late Msgr. Bob Carpio showed his desire to build a new church in the area. The local government of Naga City through the late Engr. Rodolfo Fortuno also supported the project and turned it into fruition. Finishing touches were done by the parish management. Because the community believed in full active participation in liturgy, volunteers started joining the ministries and religious organization like Lectors’ Ministry, Adonai, Yahweh’s Love in the like. The patroness of the community, Nuestra Señora de Salvacion, brought them more peace, and more doors were opened. The children’s choir was organized and children in the community started singing jubilantly for

the Blessed Mother and anywhere in the parish to proclaim the Lord’s goodness. The blessing of their chapel came simultaneously with the blessing of the Chapel of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary in Villa Corazon. At present, the community strives harder to enrich their spirituality. They are blessed with Mass every Sunday at 4pm. The community celebrated their 10th fiesta on August 20, 2017. Through the years, their spiritual growth were supported and guided by six area pastoral council leaders, with Lily Buelo as the current president. Missionaries and volunteers alike come to help the poeple in their spiritual growth. They could never say no to the light that radiates from the Lady of Salvation, a light that lasts forever. 4
Si San Judas Tadeo bilang parapintakasi kan Communio sa Parokya
“M
ay mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.” Ini an sinasabi ni San Judas sa saiyang halipot na surat sa Bibliya. Ini man an hamon sa lambang saro sa satuya. Ano an Communio? Pano ta ini mapapangyari sa satong parokya asin mga komunidad? Ang Communio iyo an pagkakasararo asin an marhay na iribahan sa sarong komunidad. Si San Judas Tadeo, an satong patron, iyo an satong parapintakasi o padrino sa paghagad herak sa Mahal na Diyos tanganing makamtan ta an pagkasararo sa satong parokya. An Communio iyo man an sarong paagi para man masolusyunan an mga nangyayari ngunyan arog kan extrajudicial killings, paggadan sa mga menor de edad, saka sa satuyang president, si Duterte, na sigeng
taram ning mararaot na tataramon, saka sa iba pang mga nangyayaring bakong marhay sa satong bansa. Sana man gabayan kita ni San Judas Tadeo saka kan Mahal na Diyos, saka sana dai naman ini mangyari. Bilang sarong Grade 5 pupil, pano man ako makakatao o makakakontribwer sa pagkakasararo sa satong parokya? Makakatabang ako sa pagkakasararo sa paagi nin pagpadangat ko sa kapwa, pagtabang, pakikibistado sa lambang saro. Si San Judas ang saro sa mga disipulo ni Jesus. Si San Judas an patron kan mga mayong pag-asa asin mga desperado huli ta siya an imahe kan halangkaw na pagtubod sa Diyos. 4 Sinurat ni Fred Ashlei Z. Guzman kan Del Rosario Elementary School.
