THE MUSTARD SEED
I
n the gospel this Sunday, Jesus presents the parable of the mustard seed as an illustration of the Kingdom of God. And he invites us to look at our faith in the light of this parable.
If we will try to observe the descriptions It is for sure great. But let us be reminded expressed in our gospel, we will see that the parable is also a challenge being that the mustard seed is the presented by Jesus for us to SUNDAY smallest among the seeds, but consider, so much so that we REFLECTION soon it grows and becomes the will continue the works of biggest plant in the garden, useful evangelization and building of the kingdom not only for man but, more so, for of God here on earth. We should not stop the birds. This vividly expresses the idea the work of evengelization just because we that being small is never a hindrance, it is are now great in number. We maybe many, not a problem, rather it is full of potency great in number, but it is not yet enough. and hope. Furthermore, we can also There are still people who are languishing conclude that from small things, that or even losing their faith, others are not greater things may happen. growing and maturing, and many more are The Kingdom of God is like that, the silent about their faith doing nothing, and Church that we are in is like that—Jesus more sad it is that there are still many who started it with his life and teachings. He have no faith at all. called His disciples who soon became Therefore, with this parable, we are evangelizers and teachers of the gospel they being asked by Jesus to plant the small seed have received from Jesus. Through their lives of faith in this dynamic, materialistic, and ministry, they were able to reach the far egocentric, and consumeristic world so that side of the globe in order for the many to time will soon come when a shrub so big have a glimpse of Jesus’ foretold kingdom. will become the refuge and fortressof those Here we are, we have faith, we are in need, acknowledging their faith firmly gathered as one big community of believers even amidst all of life’s challenges and trials. because of that very small seed of faith Small good deeds to others will bring shared by Jesus. It is because of this tiny great impact.

Grateful heart
efore, I was not really aware of St. Jude Thaddeus as Patron of Difficult cases. I just learned about it in testimonial dinners of CPA passers; but I didn’t usually pray to him for intercession until I enrolled for in-house review. My mother gave me a strip of paper, it was one of the 81 copies because it ST. JUDE’S said ‘leave 9 copies INTERCESSION inside the church everyday for 9 days.’ I prayed it 6 times a day, but not consistently. So when there were Novena Masses for the feast day of Saint Jude, I religiously attended those Masses during our final examinations. I prayed to him that he help me and my friends graduate last October 2017, and through him, my prayer was answered. With that, I decided to buy and pray the Novena Booklet for St. Jude Thaddeus so that I can pray it during my review for the board examinations in Baguio. I was not able to pray it continuously but I tried to complete the 9 days of the novena. The first time I read it, I honestly admit that I didn’t understand any word. Praying, however, relieved me of my worries. On November and December, I just slept after classes which made me feel guilty. I prayed for guidance to endure cold weather and study despite of it. Slowly, I was able to study and review lessons for the exam. Once, my faith was even tested by a cousin-in-law who was a pastor. He questioned our reverence of saints. I believe I have answered him correctly: we Catholics do not worship Saints, we only ask for their intercession and try to imitate what they did for Christ. I may not have convinced the pastor, but it made my faith to God and St. Jude stronger. As the board exams drew near, I prayed to God, surrender all my worries, and that through the intercession of St. Jude, he let me become a Certified Public Accountant, which he generously did! Now I pray gratefully to the Lord and St. Jude for allowing me to pass the CPA Board Exams on May 2018. 4 A sharing from Kae Dominique Sta.

panginoon, gabayan po ninyo ang mga magulang namin na handang ibigay ang lahat para sa aming kinabukasan. Sa ngalan ng inyong walang hanggang pagmahahal, ipakita ninyo sa kanila ang tamang landas at bigyan n’yo po sila ng lakas ng loob upang harapin ang kahit anong problema na inyong ibibigay na may mabuting kapalit sa dulo. Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng mga biyaya na inyong ipinagkakaloob, at sana po ay patawarin nyo po kami sa aming mga sala. Ito ay aking pinapanalangin sa ngalan ni Jesus. Amen.—Anthony Ambrosio, 18 ****** it’s such a blessing to have a father like him. He works 24/7 despit tiredness. I still remember the first time I went to school. I was crying. He heard me, and without second thoughts, he wiped my tears and said “Di nay ka magtangis, sadi saná ko.” He let me feel the real love that no one could give. To my Dad, I pray for your safety and good health. I love you no matter how hardheaded I am. Always remember that you’re the only man in my life. I love you.—Shiela Deres, 16 ****** lord, nagpapasalamat po ako ta may ama asin ama-amaan akong mapinadangat, mahigos, mabuot, asin marhay. Dai mo po sinda pagpabayaan, giyahan mo po sinda sa gabos na gigibuhon ninda. Magin successful man po lugod sinda sa trabaho ninda. Lugod dai nya kami paglingawan dawa sibot asin may mga aki na po sya. Patawadon mo po kami asin an mga ama mi sa gabos mi pong ginibong maraot, dai ka man po lugod magsawang padangaton asin patawadon kami. Tabangan mo po an mga ama sa gabos na problemang inaatubang ninda, dai mo po pagpabayaan na sinda magkahilang, magin healthy man po an mga kinakanan asin hawak ninda. Lugod po madangog mo po an mga pamibi mi para sa mga ama na yaon saná dyan para samuya. I love you, Lord; we love you Lord. Amen.—Anonymous, 15 ****** pa, papa, dadi, no words can accurately express the love I feel for you. Whenever you lifted me in the warmest and tightest hug possible, I know you were the man I could always take refuge in. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me so far. I am truly blessed to have you as my Dad. You are my biggest supporter, my rock, and my inspiration. I have no doubt that God took a piece of you to make me the person I am.
I have countless father-daughter memories to cherish for a lifetime and I am thankful to you for all the memories that are thickly embedded within my heart. Even though it is hard for me to express you how much I love you, I will always make you proud that you have a daughter like me. My achievements are the way to show my love for you. You are always loved, Papa.—Karla Mae Baldemoro ****** dear lord, thank you for giving me the best ‘Papa’ in the world. Thank you for his wisdom, his patience, and the many lessons that he taught me as I was growing. May you continue to shower him with your blessings. Please keep him safe and healthy so that he’ll enjoy a long and happy life. I also pray that all the fathers in the world will have a beautiful life with their families. May they serve as the foundation of love. Above all, thank you for being our Almighty Father. Thank you for the unconditional love and for not giving up on us. Amen.—Alyssa Mae Paa, SK Official ****** Fathers’ Day is usually celebrated on the third Sunday in the month of June. It is celebrated to honor and respect fathers. It’s a day to show how much your father means a lot to you. You can show that by thanking your father for all the sacrifices he has done in your life. Whether you spend the day out by celebrating or get to buy him a special gift, or just a simple celebration in your house, it’s a time to show appreciation for all the fathers out there. We are very grateful for our fathers each day, but Father’s Day is special for him and for us because of the signs we show that he’s important in our lives. The role of a father is a wonderfully rewarding privilege. Your father is indubitably the most important person in every family. He had made a lot of sacrifices for you and your family. He works diligently day and night and at par with the evolving society. He makes sure that none of the members feel dejected for lack of anything. They are striving to work hard just to provide all of your needs and for the betterment of your life. Other fathers have to work away from home and work abroad. They have to face some challenges and obstacles, they don’t get to see their families for months at a time; some for over a year due to work obligations. Fathers take up all the responsibilities, be it the education of his children or every
other monetary needs. All fathers are brave, selfless, and affectionate man. If you have your father, grab the chance now to hug and kiss him and tell how much you love them. Why? Because you are very lucky to have a father. It’s important that he be rewarded for what he is and what he has been doing for the whole family. Growing up fatherless isn’t as bad as people make it to be. Yes. I grow up without a father but there’s no reason for me to complain. God was amazing because I was truly blessed with my wonderful mother and grandmother who was more than I ever could have needed. They are the one who acts as my mother and father. They are the one who made a lot of sacrifices for me and love me unconditionally since the very beginning. And to all the fathers out there, and to my Papa, Happy Father’s Day po.—Jasmin Ebreo, 21 ****** I was born the youngest of 13 children, 8 boys, 5 girls. Whenever people hear about this, they would often say, “Galíng ng Papa mo, ah!” or “Sipag, ah!”, I know exactly what they mean, but yes, my father might have done something right to be able to not just sire, but to raise 13 children well and to influence them well beyond his lifetime. You see, my father passed away two days after my 6th birthday. Since that fateful day, my father became a memory, a story, an anecdote shared to me by older brothers and sisters. During my teenage years, I used to envy my elders for having something that keeps them connected with my father; something that keeps them as his children. But as I grew up, I realized that the love and care, as well as the discipline and encouragement I got from my siblings are all because of him. He molded them to become a better person. He made sure they get the education they needed to succeed. He taught his sons and daughters to be tough no matter what life may bring. And yes, because of my siblings, I can daresay I am doing pretty well. In the end, I must admit that I don’t really know what it is like to have a father. My mother did everything she could so I would never feel lacking. But despite all of these, I will still hold my name with pride. I am Mary Antonette Basbas, youngest daughter of Rogelio Basbas Sr and I will always be his legacy, until we meet again.—Antonette Basbas-Domer, 28 4 christian guaves
