CLEANLINESS OR GODLINESS?
I
n an excerpt of chapter 21 of the “Little Prince” the fox said:”If you want a friend, tame me . . .What must I do, to tame you?” asked the little prince. “You must be very patient,” replied the fox. “First you will sit down at a little distance from me—like that—in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day . . . One must observe the proper rites . . .’What is a rite?’ asked the little prince.” aimed at inspiring these Christians to be This question of the little prince could more steadfast in their devotion to the be the same question which we may ask ideals of Christ rather than performing after reading the Sunday Gospel (Mk 7:1-8) during this 22nd Sunday in ordinary time. It traditional rituals. These set of Christians which this Gospel was written for were not were the Pharisees—the antagonist familiar of the Jewish ritual washings. If in this Sunday Gospel story who these rituals were forced on insinuated the question. SUNDAY Pharisees were a religious REFLECTION them then unifying them into the true fold of the Church will group at the time of Jesus who be doomed for division instead. were overly scrupulous in the The ritual that the fox suggests to the observance of the law, they impose that which is more than the written law; they add little prince was meant to build their laws that are merely spoken—they insist that friendship. What if the little prince did not perform the ritual? Will their friendship not the traditional rituals are equivalent to the succeed? Will the fox not be tamed? A rite law. The Pharisees claim upon themselves to in itself is good but when they are treated be the better ones in society because they with a rather greater value than the object hold fast to their traditions. This is the for which they are performed then that reason why the “ritual washing” became a ritual becomes problematic. question which Jesus have to deal with. This It is given that people in the time and is the reason why Jesus said: “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as place of Jesus wash their hands before eating. We Filipinos do the same as a matter of it is written: These people honor me with practice. Eating together builds friendships. their lips, but their hearts are far from me. But not washing our hands before eating They worship me in vain; their teachings are should not make enemies. Will we allow our merely human rules. You have let go of the traditions to defeat our Christian commands of God and are holding on to philosophy—our purpose to be united with human traditions.

“D
inara ninda saiya an sarong bungog-bilot, asin ipinakimaherak saiya...” Kabaing ini duman sa paralitiko na dinara kan mga amigo ki Jesus. Huli ta bungog, dai sya makataram na malinaw. Siring man kaini an mga LECTIO disipulo. Daing gayo DIVINA malinaw an mga katukduan ni Jesus. Daing gayo ninda ini nasasabutan, kun kaya dai man sinda nakakapagtukdo sa iba. Iyo man ini an kamugtakan nyato gabos. Sagkod na dai malinaw an satong pagdangog, dai kita makakaharubay kan tataramon kan Dyos. Ano an makaribong na katukduan ni Jesus para sako?
“‘Effetha’, na an buot sabihon, mabuksan ka.” Nagtingkalag si Jesus sa langit sa paghagad tabang sa saiyang Ama. Naghangos syang hararom huli sa pagkaherak. Dangan nagtaram sya. Nabuksan saiyang an talinga sa pagdangog asin natalingkas an saiyang dila sa pagkagapos tanganing makapagpahayag. Dawa kinakaptan ni Jesus an talinga asin an dila, narahay an lalaki huli kan makapangyarihan na tataramon ni Jesus. Sisay pa an bungog-bilot na buot kong darhon sa Kagurangnan?
“Lalo man lugod sindang naghaharubay.” Dawa sinda binawalan ni Jesus sa pagtaram dapit kan saiyang ginibo, bakong maraot an pagharubay ninda. An saindang pagharubay bunga kan saindang dakulang kaugmahan sa karahayan na ipinapahiling ni Jesus sainda. An mga karahayan na ini tanda na sya totoong Dyos. Siring man kaini an mga mahihigos na prayer leaders na dai nagsasawa sa pag-alok nin mga myembro sa pagpamibing sarabay asin sa pagharubay kan ebanghelyo. Anong kaugmahan an sakong namamatian sa Kagurangnan? 4

paghurup-hurop sa santa misa
K
aining mga nakaaging semana, sa pagsunod sa serye kan mga ebanghelyo sa Misa, nagin sentro kan satong mga hurup-hurop an Liturhiya asin an halaga kaini sa satong buhay. Ngunyan na semana, hilngon ta man daw an mga parte kan Santa Misa na iyong nagbubuhay kan satong pagtubod sa ritwal na ini kan satong Simbahan. Ano an ranga na dara sato kan mga paborito tang parte kan Misa? Arin an mga ini? an paborito kong kong parte kan Misa iyo itong pag-raise kan host saka kan wine. Sa parteng ini kami nag-o-offer kan samuyang mga prayer petitions, mga kahagadan na dapat ming ihagad nin tawad, asin ihagad para sa samong pamilya kan anuman na mga pagbabago na dapat mangyari sa samong harong, na dapat halion, mga daing datang gawi na kaipuhan ming halion—duman mi an mga ini ino-offer. Duman po sa pagreceive nin Holy Communion, dyan ko po nafifeel an presensya kan Mahal na Dyos, yaon po sya, for the whole week namamati ko na yaon po sya, nag-eerok sa sakuya, once na nagrireceive ako nin Holy Eucharist. Favorite ko po yung sa Gospel part, and how the priest interprets the gospel, because it is something that is instilled in our mind...on how to go about it in our daily lives. And sa day to day na pagbubuhay ta and how we live out the word of the Lord and how we deal with others. We are also reminded of the commandments of the Lord and how to go over with them in our daily lives.— Rosario Pante Velasco ****** the homily and the Holy communion are my favorite parts of the mass. During the
gospel reading and the homily, I feel that God is communicating with me, and I get to know Him more. Sometimes, there are instances when I feel so low and overjoyed and during the gospel reading and the homily, it seems that God know what I feel at that very moment and the homily is exactly what I need to comfort and affirm me. It also reminds me how small my struggles are compared to His sufferings before His death. The communion, as the word suggests, makes me one with God, and the bread provides me with energy and enthusiasm to do the mission He has for me, for His greater glory.—Ellen Peña ****** an saro sa pinakapaborito kong parte kan Santa Misa iyo an Liturhiya kan Tataramon. Sa kabtang na ini kan liturhiya, nakikiulay sato an Mahal na Dyos sa paagi kan saiyang mga tataramon na makukua nyato sa banal na kasuratan. An mga momento nin paghurup-hurop sa paagi nin pagtuninong nagtatao nin duon sa sato na an Dyos nakikiulay man bako sana sa satong mga nadadangog kundi man sa tuninong na paagi. Siring man an katuninungan na namamati nyato urog na nagpapahayag kan presensya kan banal.—Pat Balmaceda 4 pwb
Mass is life i value the Mass as Life itself. It gives meaning and direction to my life, nourishment for my pilgrim soul. He satisfies my hunger—for consolation, understanding, and love—and quenches my thirst. Through the Mass, God fulfills my need for intimacy and healing. The Mass heals my woundedness and makes me whole. Without the Mass, I will never survive this journey. Pinaghuhugutan ko ng lakas ng loob at pag-asa ang Misa. Pumapawi ng aking takot at pagaalala ang Misa. It is my number one stressbuster and comfort food when sadness and boredom set in.—Maria Rosalinda Espiritu 4
