THE VOICE
od sent John to be a voice in the desert. But we ask, why not in the city? The desert has a special meaning to the Jewish people. It was there that the Jews escaped slavery in Egypt and gained freedom. It was there that they became a nation. It was also there when God put them to tough tests. They lost patience with Moses, their leader. They got lost for forty years. They felt extreme hunger and thirst. We, too, are like the Jews lost “Maraya ka pa.” “Tara, nakua mo?” That’s not in the desert. Our personal sins what Christ said to the woman SUNDAY bring us to the wilderness. Sin, caught in adultery, or to the REFLECTION our personal sin, is the cause tax collector Zaccheus. That’s of our miseries and pain. That not what the Forgiving Father said to his is part of the human design. But Prodigal Son. like the desert experience of the Jews, the We are being called to comfort his God of doom and gloom is also the God people. Many come to church or to our own of comfort. He sends John, his voice, to homes because they are hurting. Be warm, proclaim the baptism of repentance for the inviting and comforting. Parents, when forgiveness of sins. your children stray away, they already live The Lord hurts when we are hurt. in misery and pain. When they come home, He does not want us to suffer as we do. welcome them and comfort them. He does not want children to starve, We all suffer as a result of our sins. We women to be abused, drugs to destroy are all wandering in the desert. If we know families, corrupt politicians to drag us to ourselves fully well, there would be no room unimaginable poverty. He wants the world for self-righteousness. People who engage in to be transformed. He wants a final victory gossips are people who want to cover their over evil and death. Today’s message is one own pains by minding the private lives of of comfort. Repentance brings comfort. others. They must first look at themselves God also calls us to be his voice, to bring in the mirror. Do not judge then. Do not the message of forgiveness and comfort to impose a harsh sentence of coldness. Instead his people. be warm and caring. Maybe you have a family member, a We are called to bring comfort to God’s relative, or a neighbor, who is suffering the people. To those who are hurting, we bring results of their own sins. Don’t be cold and the voice of John. 4 harsh. Don’t be self-righteous. Don’t say, — Fr. Wilmer Joseph S. Tria

“B
akô sya an ilaw, kundi tanganing magsaksi dapit sa ilaw.” Malinaw an pahayag ni Juan Bautista. Bako sya an Kristo, ni si Elias, ni an Propeta. Siring man kaini an sinurat ni Juan Ebanghelista: bako sya LECTIO an ilaw. Sya saro sanang DIVINA saksi. Tano ta kaniguan na gayo an pagpahimutik na ini? Simple an dahilan. Bantog na marhay si Juan. Igwa syang mga disipulo. Dakul an saiyang paradangog. Pwedeng maribong an mga tawo kun sisay an saindang tutubudan na Kristo. Dawa kan panahon na sinusurat an ebanghelyo, bantog si Juan. Si Juan siring sa mga modernong telebanghelista. An tawo parating nagkikiling sa namumuyahan na saksi kisa sa saindang pinagsasaksihan asin an mga saksi nakakalingaw man na sinda mga saksi sana. Pàno ko ipinapamidbid si Jesus sa sakong kapwa bilang saksi??
“Ako tingog na nagkukurahaw sa disyerto: Patanusa an dalan nin Kagurangnan.” Saro sa dakulang problema sa Pilipinas iyo an tinampo. Saro saná an satong National Highway, an Pan-Philippine Highway o ah26. Ata saro na saná, dakul pang kurbada asin rikudo. Ata tirikô na, garo pa sungkaan. Kun an tinampo pa-Manila siring sa Skyway, abang gayon saná mag-drive pa-Manila. Ini an mensahe ni Juan. Pinapagirumdom kita na dapat tanos an dalan ni Jesus sa satong mga puso, tanganing dai sya maabala, dai sya masakitan makalaog sa satong buhay. Pàno ko tinatanos an dalan ni Jesus sa sakong buhay? Kasuarin si huri kong pagkumpisal?
“Ako nagbubunyag sa tubig; alagad sa tahaw nindo yaon an dai nindo midbid.” Si Juan bako sanáng pusuanon na ipamidbid si Jesus dawa sa tahaw nin kasakitan. Panô man Next Page/LECTIO

Bishop condemns killing of priest sto. domingo, nueva ecija—Bishop Roberto Mallari of San Jose has expressed alarm at the killing of an elderly priest in his diocese. Four men in two motorcycles ambushed Fr. Marcelito ‘Tito’ Paez at about 8pm while he was driving his vehicle in Jaen town. The priest was rushed to a hospital in the nearby town of San Leonardo but he expired around two hours later after sustaining two bullet wounds on his body. “We strongly condemn the unjust and brutal killing of Fr. Tito Paez,” Mallari said. “We called on the authorities to conduct investigation and give justice to his death.” The bishop also asked the faithful to pray that justice will be served immediately. Paez, 72, has served the diocese for more than 30 years since its erection in 1984. He retired from priestly ministry in 2015. In his service to the Church, he was known for his active involvement in social justice advocacy, particularly on human rights issues affecting the poor. For many years, he also had been part of the diocese’s social action commission wherein he led the justice and peace office. At the time of his death, Paez was the coordinator of the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines in Central Luzon. Earlier in the day, Paez assisted in facilitating the release of political prisoner Rommel Tucay who was detained at a jail in Cabanatuan City. No group has claimed responsibility for the killing. 4
