isay ngunyan an pinakadakula sa kahadian kan langit?” Sisay matukaw na kataid ni Jesus? Si Pedro na may kapot kan susi? Si Andres na iyo an enot inapod ni Jesus? Si Judas na iyo an tesorero? Sisay sa LECTIO wala? Sisay sa too? Gusto DIVINA nindang maaraman kun ano an kriterya ni Jesus tanganing sinda makapag-andam. Minsan, iyo man ini an nagdadalagan sa isip ta sa laog kan simbahan. Sisay an malakas sa kura? Pano magin malakas saiya? Ano an kaya kong itabang sa parokya?
“Kun dai kamo magbirik asin magin siring sa mga sadit na aki, dai kamo makakalaog sa kahadian kan langit?” Ugali palan an hanap ni Jesus, bakong tibay. An magpakumbaba iyo an pinakadakula, siring sa aki. An mani-aki dai nangangahulugan na magin siring sa aking pasaway asin ikol-ikol, kundi naghahagad nin gatas kun gutom, asin ini an tataramon kan Dyos asin an Hawak ni Kristo sa Banal na Eukaristiya. Siring sa aki, sya dai naghahàdit kan maabot, kundi biyong nagtitiwala sa Dyos. Dai sya nagmamalisya sa gibo kan iba, asin matinubod-tubod sa kabùtan kan Dyos. Ano an magayon na ugali kan aki na yaon sako?
“Mag-ingat kamo na dai nindo hamakon an saro kaining saradit...” An mga aki iyo an maribay sa sato. Ngapit, sinda naman an mga maglilingkod sa satong parokya. Kaya mahalaga an satong mga paarog. Pinapatanidan kita na dai makapahiling sainda nin maraot na gibo, arog baga kan pagraway, pakiiwal sa kataraid, pagputik asin dakul pang karàtan. Ano an itinatao kong paarog asin katukduan sa sakong mga aki? 4

agkod ngunyan, danay na pamibi ko na an girumdom ni Mama dai mapara sa sakong kamalayan. An saiyang mga paarog dai ko man lugod malingawan. Asin an saiyang abang rarom na pagtubod asin pagsarig sa Kagurangnan sako man lugod na mapadanay sa buhay ko. Kinua si ST. JUDE’S Mama sako kan INTERCESSION Kagurangnan, ako idad 25, alagad huli ta nagdakula ako bilang only daughter, an saiyang pagkagadan sarong madiklumon na panahon kan sakong buhay. Si Mama an sakong kusog; sya an arualdaw kong inspirasyon. An sakong mga achievements bilang estudyante kaidto, sagkod an kahigusan ko sa trabaho, saiya nakadedicate. Alagad, sabi ngani ni Mama kaidto, pirming sa Dyos ifocus an gabos— Sya an bahala. Deboto si Mama ni St. Jude. Ini sarong regalo man na ipinamana nya sako. Huli ta amay nagadan an sakong ama, solo nya akong pinadakula—an saiyang unica hija. Kun kaya, sa pag-arang nya ki St. Jude, hinihiling ko na ako napamarhay huli sa debosyon na ini. Sa katikapuhan, dai nuarin pa man nawaran nin paglaom si Mama; sa kasakitan, dai nanggad sya nawaran nin pagsarig. St. Jude will help us, sabi nya pirmi. St. Jude will be there. Binabalik-balikan ko an mga grasyang ini ngunyan na lalaugon ko an buhay pamilya. Pirang semana na lang, mapakasal na kami kan boyfriend ko. Napupungaw ako ki Mama, huli ta dai nya ako mahihiling na makipagsumpaan sa altar. Alagad, danay akong makusog, sa buot asin kalag, huli ta iyan mga virtues na itinukdo nya sako sa debosyon ki St. Jude. Idinudusay ko man ki Lord, sa paagi ni St. Jude, an bagong buhay na sakong lalaugon. I hope, magin arog ako ki Mama bilang sarong ina sa magiging mga aki mi kan agom ko. I hope man na magin marhay man akong agom para sa sakong nobyo. Mga laman ini kan sakong prayers ngunyan. Aram kong dai man mapabaya si St. Jude.

a pagpuon kaining taon 2018, minarhay na haputon nyato an nagkapirang parokyano kan sjtp kan saindang mga kamàwutan asin mga pamibi para sa parokya. Ipamìbi ta man lugod asin pagtarabangan na an mga kamàwutan na ini iyo man an kabùtan kan Kagurangnan para sa saiyang komunidad. sa sakong mga engkwentro sa mga pamilyang nasa laylayan kan sosyudad, nahiling ko an pagkapaha ninda sa pagkamidbid sa Dyos asin sa saiyang mga kabutan. Siring man sa mga skills na kaipuhan ninda sa pag-atubang sa nga arualdaw na buhay, arog na saná kan pagbasa asin pagsurat. Pangaturugan ko na matabangan an gobyerno asin an simbahan na masimbagan ini sa paagi nin Adult Sunday School para sa mga magurang. Maaaraman tang nagkaigwang positibong resulta an programa kun magdakol an mga nagsisirimba.—Hali sa sarong parishioner ****** the past can’t be undone and tomorrow will never come. Reflecting the “I” as part of the parish and the community where I belong, I want to be more participative in parish activities. The youth has empty hands and has nothing to offer in terms of treasure, but the energy and enthusiasm to be included and to serve is overflowing. It is
my heart’s desire to get away from the stigma that the youth only brings kapasawayan and kariribukan. Be enlightened and guided ‘cause we still have Time and Talent as gifts in the world. I pray for a community where the I (youth) finds more ways to serve God and be felt in their love and faith in the parish, with their gifts, not tomorrow but today.— Christian Guaves, Antioch/Thaddeus Choir ****** i pray for an increase in numbers of parishioners who will be there, who will be heard, will be involved, will take part in Parish activities, and will become partners of our priests in making our Church a vibrant community we can hold on to in faith.—Ellen Peña ****** minsan, paghuna ko, an maray na intensyon sa pagsirbi tama na. Alagad sa kairararuman kan tataramon na iyan nakaakibat an sarong responsibilidad na paghinguha na magustuhan an mga ginigibo mo maski na ngani na an iba magtaas an kiray sa likod kan saimong dayaday na kamàwutan asin ginigibo. May beses maipapamati saimo na mayong kwenta an ginigibo mo. Pero an maray na bareta sa sitwasyon na arog kaiyan mas hinihiling ko ang positibong naidudulot kan sarong regalo ki Lord sarong intensyon na malinig asin mapakumbaba. Bakong pasil ta minsan
madadara ka man sa salang agos pero talagang masuripot si Lord, ginigiyahan ka sa ibang klase nin pagsirbi. Kaya lang may kasabihan na charity begins at home. Dai ta pwedeng pabayaan an mga kapamilya. Kulang man an oras ko, magigibuhan paagi kun gusto. An bituon na nahihiling ko para satong parokya iyo an sarong bituon na nagtataong liwanag na dai napupundi, nakakainspire asin nakakamati kan namamatian mo para imotivate ka imbis halian nin pag-asa. Mga bituon na abotkamay, dai nagpapahiling na sinda saná an may liwanag nin kabanalan. Pero nin huli sa dakulang pagkamuot ta ki Lord asin sa pagmàwot na makapagshare kan satong liwanag, yaon an mga milagro Niya na pwede tang kuguson sa tahaw nin pagdududa asin kaluyahan.—Vangie Salak ****** for 2018, i’d rather take it easy ‘cause I do not want to unnecessarily stress myself with things, issues, concerns that are way beyond my comprehension or scope of influence. It is quite tiring to pursue some things that are just unrealistic and unreacheable. But there are concerns that are non-negotiables, thus, I still would fight for principles I hold dear and standards I uphold though it may feel hopeless and isolating especially when you are hearing a lone voice and it is yours alone! —Jane Marie Tria Santelices
