SPLIT NO MORE
T
his Palm Sunday reminds us of our split-personality faith. On one side, we welcome the Lord in our hearts singing: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” On the other, we are the angry crowd calling for the crucifixion of our Lord. Both phenomena happened to Jesus in the same city with the same crowd. The people who accompanied their king with praise are the ones who betrayed and denied him. The Lord does not give up easily on us. However, the story of weak humanity He offers us, each time we fall, another does not end with betrayal and denial. The chance to make things right. Jesus needs us Lord decided to enter our brokenness and to be good leaven. A good kind of leaven showed us that it is possible to be whole always rises and grows in a consistent and once again. He restored our substantial manner and becomes a good dysfunctional world and invited us bread, a good pastry. as collaborators in restoring our SUNDAY Pope Francis warns us of bad original identity. REFLECTION leaven which does not grow well. As he approached Jerusalem, He told an anecdote from his own childhood Jesus sent two disciples to fetch Him a donkey which later He will ride on to to explain the concept. “I remember that for Carnival, when we were children, our complete his mission. If anyone should ask grandmother made biscuits and it was a very them why they are untying the donkey, Jesus told them to say: “The master has need of it.” thin, thin, thin pastry that she made. Afterwards she placed it in the oil and that Peter and the Zebedee sons accompanied pastry swelled and swelled and when we began Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane in one of to eat it, it was empty.

Domingo nin Pagkabuhay, Taon C
“M
adurudiklom pa nin pagkaaga, nagduman na si Maria Magdalena sa lulubngan…” Si Maria Magdalena nagpasiring sa lulubngan bago magsirang an aldaw, kan enot na aldaw kan semana. Buot sabihon, Domingo kaidto. Aram LECTIO nyang natatakupan an DIVINA lulubngan nin dakulang gapo, kaya tibaad si saiyang katuyuhan iyo an pagpamibi asin pagmundo. Malinaw digdi na si Jesus an sentro kan saiyang buhay, huli ta namatian nya ki Jesus an pagkaherak asin pagpatawad kan saiyang mga kasàlan. Ano an pinaka-mahalagang aldaw kan semana para sako? Tàno?
“Nagdalagan sya pasiring ki Simon Pedro.” Si Maria Magdalena an pinakainot na saksi kan pagkabuhay-liwat. Dinulok nya si Pedro huli ta sya an líder kan mga apostol. Siring man, si Pedro yaon sana sa haraning lugar asin saksi kan pagkagadan ni Jesus. Susog sa batas, mayong saysay an saksi kan babae, asin kun lalaki man, mahalaga na duwa sinda. Kaya mahalaga si pagduman sa lulubngan ni Pedro asin ni Juan. Mahalaga an papel ni Magdalena sa pagdara kan bareta sainda. Sisay an nadara ko sa pagsimba? Pàno?
“Nahiling nya idto asin nagtubod sya.” Ano an tinubdan ni Juan? Bako sana na tama si sinabi ni Magdalena na nawawara an hawak ni Jesus, kundi na si Jesus nabuhayliwat. Dawa masakit masabutan, an saindang nahiling sa lulubngan yaon na gayo nakasaysay sa kasuratan, na si Jesus dapat mabuhayliwat sa kapangyarihan kan Ama. Si Juan an enot sa gabos na nakasabot asin nagtubod sa pagkabuhay-liwat. Ano an kamàwutan ko sa sadiri kong pagkabuhay-liwat? 4
