ONE TRUE KING
A
s we end the liturgical calendar, the Church invites us to focus our attention on Jesus as the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end of our human history. He was there at the beginning of our universe, he is there to sustain our universe, and he will remain to be there even at the end of our universe. Everything will pass, but He who is our King, and His Word will not. their lives at the expense of many. He is our king and we are His subjects. Second, Jesus asks us to search for the We ought to surrender our will to him. As our king, he will lead us to the path towards truth that saves, not the truth that entertains. He says: “for this I came into the His kingdom. But, Jesus reminds us: “My world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who kingdom does not belong to this belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” world.” This world is filled with Many people are sad, angry and injustices, lies and corruption. In SUNDAY His kingdom, there is love, justice REFLECTION depressed. Thus, they are lured by certain truths that are and peace. entertaining, rather than the truth that In that kingdom, Jesus teaches saves. Fake news proliferates because us: First, about the power of love, and not countless people believe them. the love for power. People who belong to One truth that we tend to avoid is that this worldly kingdom crave for power, to this world is only passing. We should not lord it over the poor. This is the reason why oppression is widespread. Oppression of the waste our life at the expense of our souls. We must live in this world as travelers poor by the rich; of the citizens by public aspiring to belong to the Kingdom of God, officials; of women by men; of children by our true destination. adults. Adam and Eve ate the forbidden Lastly, Jesus teaches us to pay tribute, fruit for the love of power. Cain murdered not bribe. Tribute is for the common good; his brother Abel for the love of power. Political leaders, like pirates, never die. They bribe is for persons who seek favors, at the expense of the common good. As citizens of only fade away only to be replaced by their this earthly city, the law teaches us the next of kin. Generation after generation, virtue of contributing for the common good they cheat and lie, they steal and kill, for through honest payment of taxes. The the love of power.

In his moment we give bribes, we only favor ourselves and the corrupt public officials, at kingdom, what reigns is not the love for the expense of common good. power but the power of love. “He humbled Jesus wants us to build his Kingdom on himself, took the form of a slave, and became like humans.” He offered his life for earth.

Istorya nin pagpuli
N
aghali ako sa harong mi kan ako idad 11. Anggot ako sa ina ko ta pigparaanggutan ako. Dai ko pa aram an kasalan ko kaidto. An aram ko ako an tama. An pagtubod ko inaapi ako huli ta dai ako dapat pagparaanggutan. Bilang aki, an hiling ko kaidto ako pirmi an tama. Dai ko narealize na ST. JUDE’S kaya ako INTERCESSION inaanggutan iyo na huli ta igwa akong naginibong sala. Naglayas ako. Naghali ako sarong udto. Dara an pirang bado. Mayo akong kwarta kun kaya nagparalakaw na lang. Inabtan ako nin gutom sa tinampo. Nanghagad, nagkakan kun may magtao. Nagturog sa mga bangketa. Natakot sa mga tawong yaraon duman. Minsan nadadakop ko an sadiri ko na naghihibi huli ta dai ko na aram an gigibuhon. Dai naman ako makapuli ta dai ko aram an direksyon. Sarong hapon, mantang naghahanap ako nin matuturugan, nakalaog ako sa sarong simbahan. Dai man relihiyoso an mga magurang ko kaya dai ako tuod. Sinita ako kan sarong katiwala sa simbahan. Hinapot ko na saná sya kun pwede ako magturog duman ta mayo akong matuturugan. Dai ako tinutugutan kan katiwala, alagad minidbid nya ako, inaram an pangaran ko, an ngaran kan mga magurang ko, asin kun tagasain ako. Tinabangan nya akong makabalik sa sakuyang mga magurang. Pirang aldaw akong hinanap sa harong. Nagkawsa an sakong paglayas nin labi-labing pagbakho kan sakong ina. Alagad an relasyon mi urog pang nagin pusog kan ako nakapuli. Mas nasabutan ko an mga bagay-bagay. Binalikan mi kan sakong mga magurang an simbahan. Simbahan ini na si St. Jude an patron. Duman nagpuon an debosyon kan sakong pamilya ki St. Jude. Duman man nagpuon an relasyon mi sa Dyos. Minsan, dai garo nanggad imposible, alagad nangyayari an gabos sa pagbuót kan Kagurangnan. Nawara ako, nagpuli; dangan kami gabos nakapuli sa pagtubod sa Dyos.—Toti Maestro, deboto ni St. Jude 4

I stand with Christ, my King
T
his Sunday we proclaim to the entire universe that Jesus Christ is our King. Time and time again, we have been proclaiming this expression of faith, just like St. Francis Xavier, who, in the sweet words of a prayer attributed to him, expressed his love and fidelity to Jesus, “not for the promised heaven or out of the fear of hell” but because of His great love and His being, St. Francis Xavier says, King and God. But Jesus’ kingship doesn’t end in His throne. Rather, He calls us to be with Him, to do His mission on earth. How do we respond to Jesus? How do we stand by Him who is our King? god never promised a life that is stormfree; but he keeps our lives storm-proof. Amidst all the circumstances in our lives, what we can hold on to are His promises. His Words are true and He is faithful. Yes, the fallen world may bring me into brokenness, but His presence gives me hope and security. I remember a verse in the Bible that says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jer 29:11) So, there’s no room for me to fear the future for I know that God is my fortress and is with me as I walk even in the valley of death.—Claydes Rojo-Romero Sarcia ****** there is so much to appreciate when it comes to Jesus’ presence in me as our King. I stand by the following: Jesus is my Savior, he died on the cross to save me; he was born just to live with us and to experience the same life that we have. I know it’s hard to convince others to have faith and trust in
God, in Jesus Christ, but for me as long as you have him in your heart, everything will be fine. Everything about him, everything he wants us to do becomes easy, even for others. Another thing that I stand by Jesus Christ is that He is my only Holy Father and I cannot live without Him. Though I have committed sins, I know he always give me the chances to change my wrongdoings. I aslo believed that life with God is a life lived fully; life without God is living with a dead body. Jesus Christ is my provider for everything I have and all that is to come.— Carla Candelaria ****** i stand with and believe in God— one body, one bread. Jesus’ death and resurrection manifest that he loves us deeply. In our daily life, we live out our strong faith in the Lord. Whatever trials we encounter, we’re bound by our strong faith. We lift everything unto him, be it good or bad. We continue to battle life’s obstacles when our focus is on goodness, on setting
aside evil deeds, and on putting our trust in him. Our way of living sails smoothly when we surrender everything to him, for he is the real Master of the universe.—Catherine G. Sanchez ****** si jesus an sakóng hadi asin danay nanggad na pinapanindugan ko ini sa pakikipaglaban para sa katutuuhan asin hustisya; sa pagtao nin tingog sa dai nadadangog; sa pakilaban para sa kapalibutan; sa pagpadanay nin kagayunan sa paagi nin mga obra asin arte.

Sa abot kan sakong kakayahan, asin minsan ngani urog pa kayan, buót kong gibuhon an gabos tanganing maibalangibog saná asin maihiras sa sakong kapwa an karahayan kan Kagurangnan.
