LISTEN TO HIM!
T
his second Sunday of Lent, while we join Jesus in the desert of temptations, the gospel brings us to another experience where Jesus is revealed as glorious and divine, with a voice coming from the cloud saying: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” In the desert of temptations, there entertaining—from political leaders, was complete and disturbing spokespersons, commentators, political silence, except the growling noise analysts, celebrities. They SUNDAY of Satan and the wild beasts. Our promise peace and order, REFLECTION world is like this desert, arid of wealth and health. Yet they wisdom and truth, but teeming seldom live up to their promises. They only with growls of lies and falsehoods. lead our families and country to Jesus brought Peter, James and John to a destruction. Now the voice from the cloud high mountain to discover that Jesus is no tells us to focus on Jesus by saying “Listen ordinary man. Jesus is God, clothed in to him!” splendour. Yet despite such glorious “But the Church must not meddle with revelation, the disciples missed the point. the affairs of the State.” Again the voice from Peter, the spokesman, didn’t know how to the cloud tells us “Listen to him!” “But I am react and what to say. He mumbled until busy right now. I can’t attend the Prayer finally he spoke a litany of blunders. He Meeting.” Yet the voice from the cloud says, called Jesus a rabbi. He equated Jesus with “Listen to him!” “But there are many Moses and Elijah. He changed the topic hypocrites in the Church.” The voice says, from revelation of truth to construction “Listen to Him!” “But I am not sure if I still of tents. truly believe.” Again, the voice says, “Listen Similarly, Jesus brings us to a high to him!” mountain, where we can pray and We, clergy and consecrated persons are experience His splendour.

“Naggibo nin pamakol na pisi, gabos pinalayas sa templo...” Alagad, imbes ibugtak an kumersyo na may distansya sa templo, pinarani ni Caiafas an mga paratinda asin pararibay kwarta sa templo. Namarong asin nagin maribok sa templo asin naanggot an mga hudiyo, alagad mayo sindang maginibo huli ta si Caiafas na makapangyarihan kan panahon. Kaagid sya sa mga gobernador o alkalde ngunyan na panahon. Ini an dahilan kun tàno ta mayong nagpugol sa ginibo ni Jesus. Kasuarin ako nakaekspiryensya nin siring alagad mayo akong maginibo huli ta kabùtan ini kan mga makapangyarihan?
“Laglagá an templong ini, asin sa tulong aldaw babangunon ko.” Naghagad tanda an mga hudiyo alagad mayo sindang nasabutan. An templo itinugdok sa laog nin 46 na taon. Kan panahon ni Jesus, padagos pa idtong pinapagayon sagkod taon 63. Pag-abot taon 70, rinugba man sana kan mga Romano. Alagad, bako idto an itinutukdo ni Jesus kundi an saiyang hawak. Siring man kaini an satong hawak. Kun an sakong hawak siring sa templo, kasuarin ko ini pinabayaan asin dai ginalang? 4

is coming in my life being away from home often, I always tell my family that communication is very important. But I always forget that communication is also the ability to listen. I was such stubborn and obstinate person. This made my relationship with my wife worsen. I am lucky to have such a loving and forgiving family, yet I betrayed their trust by giving them the ups and downs they didn’t deserve. God has always been good to me, making me aware of the fact that what I was doing was drifting me apart from my relationship with my wife. I’ve come to my senses before I lost everything we started, and made me review my priorities and values seriously. Fears engulfed me thinking that the inner strength that the Lord has graced me was fading away. Through ardent prayers, I started to draw strength and wisdom again to carry on with Christian life I was called to live. Slowly I grasped the discipline I

he Sunday gospel this week narrates to us, once more, the story of Jesus’ transfiguration in the mount. As we contemplate on Jesus changing his appearance, on his radiant glory dazzling Peter and the others, let us try to look into ourselves and reflect too on the changes we want for and in ourselves. What could probably be these changes? Some parishioners have generously shared with us their own aspirations for change. was expected of—as a proof of love to my family. I took everyday life’s happening with positivity. Everything may not have been good but I always thought that there’s something new and good in everyday. I prayed hard to God to help me and guide me to respond truthfully to the changes I want to have in my life. It was not an easy start but the will to earn my wife’s trust again was more important than anything in this world. God is so good. He made me listen and He answered my prayers. I worked harder not to waste those chances and not to forget that Christ is the center of our family, not allowing fear to stop me from growing spiritually—I am confident it gets better by changes.—Ricky of VCS ****** the changes that I want to change in my life is that so-called time management.

for myself, family, friends, and especially for God. Because as a senior highscool I really miss those times when I was serving our Lord Jesus Christ. I wanted to go back in time when I was younger and had no problems. I was simple just happy a kid. I want to change because I know with change I can be a better person by serving God. I am also aware that talking back to my Mom is one thing that I should change. I love my Mom and I know I shouldn’t treat her rudely that way. I think cursing is also included in those that I want to take away from my life. Though I know cursing is just an expression, I think it’s inappropriate of me as a woman to keep acting that way. Seeking attention is one thing I have to change too. I don’t want people having hard time because of me. I should avoid skipping meals also, knowing it’s not good for my health.—Angienel Gojit of Thaddeus Choir/Antioch 4
