WISDOM

what does it mean to be wise today?
ometimes, we Filipinos interpret the word entirely different. We use it to mean Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest.’ That’s how politicians attempt to survive the political ladder. They create fake ngo’s, then steal; when caught, they lie. They bribe to survive. Some poor citizens follow their examples. Desperate to provide a future to their children, they cling to fake agencies that provide fake documents to work abroad. Sadly, they end up victims of different forms of injustices. The gospel reminds us that nobody as they were, they took flasks of oil as well knows when the Lord is coming as torches, unlike the foolish ones who, in back. Yet, He is sure to come. bringing their torches, brought SUNDAY Wisdom means to be in a no oil along. REFLECTION permanent state of readiness for A sensible Christian should His arrival. To be prepared for the therefore never run out of oil. But what second coming, we ought to be ready does oil mean? According to the Jewish and always vigilant for the return of Christ. rabbis, oil means good works. If so, then The groom’s arrival could greatly be delayed, Matthew means to say that like the five yet we must be patient. wise virgins, we must always be watchful As humans, there is always a possibility by expressing the faith, by living it out to grow cold and weary. We are excited through good works. at the start but as time goes by, our It is by living out the faith that the enthusiasm wanes. We are eager today, five virgins, who had oil provisions, are but not tomorrow; like ningas-kugon, our described as wise by the parable. Like commitment is gone in a blink of an eye. them, we must therefore be wise. We seek The delay of Moses’s descent from Mt. the practical wisdom of salvation as we Sinai led the people to idolatry. In the wait for the coming of the Lord. And this gospel, the delay of the groom’s arrival practical wisdom is none other than the made the foolish virgins to be negligent continual performance of good works and fall asleep. The same may be said of which flow from our faith in him, and our being Christians. When we seldom which we do in obedience to the teaching think of the return of Christ, our faith of Christ. becomes no more than a mere name tag. To be unwise excludes us, even if we We profess to be Catholics, but we do not consider Christ as our Lord and Savior. We live this out in our day-to-day life. Our life don’t want to be locked out. We all want to orientation is not Christian. be locked in, inside the Kingdom of God. We ought to imitate the five wise That is the true meaning of wisdom. 4 virgins who never ran out of oil.

napod nya an sadiri nyang mga suruguon asin pinaniwalaan kan saiyang mga rugaring.” Harani na an kagadanan ni Jesus. Nanúnuguntúgon na sya. Buot nyang paniwalaan an saiyang mga parasunod nin espiritwal na yaman. Ini iyo an saindang mga talento LECTIO DIVINA o kakayahan. Kabilang na digdi an saindang pag-isip, pagplano, pagtrabaho, asin dakul pang iba. Bakong parareho si talento na saiyang ipinaniwala. Gabos susog sa saindang kaya. Mayo man malinaw na sugo kun ano an gigibuhon ninda sa talento. Bahala sinda kun ano an buot nindang gibuhon.
Ano an ipinaniwala sakong talento kan Dyos asin ano an plano kong gibuhon kaini?
“Tulos naglakaw si nakaresibi nin limang talento, ipinagnegosyo ini asin nakaganansya sya nin lima pa; siring man si nakaresibi nin duwa.” Maugmang pag-arugan an ginibo kan enot na duwa. Mayong gira nin kahugakan. Tulos naghiro huli ta ugma sinda sa saindang buhay asin sa mga talento na itinao sainda ni Jesus. Nag-abante an saindang kabanalan huli ta ginamit ninda an saindang mga espiritwal na biyaya tanganing mapabanal man an kinàban. Dai ninda ini itinago kundi ihiniras sa dakul na tawo. Kaya lalong nagdakul an mga parasunod ni Kristo. Nagdoble an talento na ipinaniwala ni Kristo. Pira na an ganansya kan talento na itinao sako ni Kristo? Kontento na ako o nakukulangan pa ako?
“Alagad si nakaresibi nin saro, naghali, nagkalot sa daga asin itinago an pirak.” Kun si duwa paabante sa kabanalan, si ikatulo nag-atras. Sya naghali. Nagdulag. Habong mag-ayon sa komunidad. Habong magin aktibo sa ministry kan parokya. Sa pagkalot sa daga asin sa pagtago kan pirak, naghuhugas na sya kan LECTIO/next page

reflection on the triduum for the dead
Filipinos love drama
I
t was All Saints’ Day and the start of the Triduum Masses for the Dead at the St. Jude Thaddeus Parish. Patrick Balmaceda, head of sjtp Worship Mnistry, designed the altar with the image of Mater Dolorosa, as she weeps quietly and keeps vigil over her dead son, in the image of Amang Hinulid. This powerful yet poignant scene is unveiled before our eyes; the atmosphere of sorrow is set. As Filipinos commemorate All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days by remembering our dear departed with prayers, Holy Masses, flowers, and candles, we also look up to the supreme sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the name of human salvation from eternal damnation. In the same vein, we are also drawn to the Pieta, the grieving countenance of a suffering mother who lost her son so that all of humanity is saved. On Mother Mary’s part, there was no space for wailing, for hystrionics or public display of utter grief. Hers is a silent sorrow which she pondered in her heart. In our Philippine experience, this drama is well played and oft-repeated in our devotion as a people to Christ Jesus in the image of Sto. Niño ( innocence and weakness), in the image of Señor Nazareno (burdened and suffering), and in the image of Amang Hinulid (death, peace, and redemption). We revere and relate so much on these images of Christ in the three stages of his public life because as a people, we all go through these same stages in our own existence. We all root for the underdog. We adhere to the sacredness of life. We cheer the hero who overcomes hardships and is given a second chance. Thus, we lament unjust death as we grieve over our dead loved ones but at the same time, we look forward to a happy reunion with them in the life after. This promise of life eternal is our just reward for a long suffering existence here on earth. 4 jmts
REMEMBERING THE DEAD. Sense of mourning and reverence pervade
in this makeshift altar for the All Saints Day Triduum at sjtp. As one prays to Jesus who saved humanity from the shackles of sin, one also gets the assurance of the Blessed Mother’s constant care and companionship. Keeping at heart that Christ rose from the dead three days after his glorious oblation in Calvary, we also pray for a strong sense of hope that our departed loved ones are now with him in glory.
PRIESTS ON RETREAT. The priests of the Archdiocese of Caceres, 139 of them, went on a 3-day Retreat last November 6 to 10 at the
