Purposive visit
W
e The readings this Sunday teach us that the God of the Trinity loves to pay men a visit from time to time. His presence brings honor, blessings and mission. At the time of the patriarchs, he went to Abraham and promised a son to Sara who was believed to be barren. He then sent Abraham to a grand mission. Jesus, for his part in the Gospel, exalts two unmarried women, Mary and Martha, by honoring them with His visit and His word. Jesus highlighted this time, the primary reason for doing mission. Mary and Martha represent the two it remains sterile and inconclusive. dimensions of the interior life: prayer and Martha feeds the Christ that Mary action. Both are necessary. adores. There is no authentic prayer Mary, on the one hand, listens that does not result in service. A attentively to the words of the Master, charity that does not begin and does not captures them in memory and water end in the contemplation of the mystery and cultivate them. Like many, of God is sterile. Our faith should be still today, who hangs from the anchored in contemplation SUNDAY lips of the Lord, waiting for him REFLECTION but lived in service. to speak to his heart. At The God of the Trinity the origin of all faith, the today continues to visit men to invite heart of every religious experience is them to greater intimacy with Him so and remains to be the intimate and that He could send them on a mission. mysterious encounter with the beauty of Often, we realize the coming of God only God.

Perhaps you were not silencing our hearts today is a source of yet aware of his visit. Mary relished every serenity and joy. minute of that visit and so must we. Marta, on the other hand, realizes the Prayer leads to service in the same bliss of acceptance, the concreteness of manner our service should lead us to a love and hospitality. She also knows that more vibrant and intimate prayer. Our listening to the Master is the origin of participation in liturgy should lead us all every encounter, but she also knows to seek our neighbours in need. 7 that if this meeting does not change life, fr. francis r. tordilla

“K

Sisay nagtukdo sako na magpamibi? “Ama, pakabanalon an ngaran mo…” Ama? Iyo! An Ama ni Jesus Ama man kan mga disipulo. Dai sya ipinapaapod ni Jesus na ‘Mister’, ‘Sir’ o ‘Senyor’ kundi Ama.

Why become a catechist? Fr. Francis noted that the parish does not only lack school based catechists but also pre-sacramental catechists: Pre-Jordan for baptism and Pre-Cana for weddings. He therefore appealed to lectors, as lovers of the Word, to go out of their comfort zones and be catechists. Nine volunteered to undergo the mandatory Basic Orientation Program for catechists under Sr. Arlene: This is a challenge accepted from our parish priest. We are called as a baptized Catholic to imitate the work of Christ.. to share in spreading the good news. We are all called to be saints. (nora lynn perez is a retired chemist of Naga Coca-Cola, Inc. and an entrepreneur of a crafts shop. She lives in Villa Grande Homes) ****** Being a catechist is one of my responses to God’s love for me ... to share the love of God thru His Son Jesus Christ in unity of the Holy Spirit to and among the people especially to the young nowadays where challenges in love, faith and hope abounds. (marielvic ababa is a retired
SJTP services six elementary schools—Mariane Montessori, Concepcion Grande, Del Rosario, Villa Corazon, and Villa Grande elementary schools, and soon Del Rosario High School—with a total of 2,362 students. The parish has nine volunteer catechists reinforced by seminarian Jerson De Vera Posugac, under the directorship of Sr. Arlene M. Lorente, DM, a Junior and a catechist of 7 years. The weekly catechesis class lasts for at least 15 minutes. The statistics speaks for itself. The catechist-student ratio is high. Each catechist handles about 263 pupils. government employee. She owns and manages Ababa Bookkeeping Services, and is an active member of CFC. She lives in Villa Corazon Subdivision.) ****** When I tell my family or friends that I’m attending a BOP for catechists at St. Jude, their eyebrows unconsciously raise wondering if I was kidding or was suffering from some kind of temporary mental aberration. Me, a catechist? When I don’t even come close to possessing any of the good qualities of a catechist/teacher—has a deep knowledge of and passion for the subject matter and cares deeply for each student; a good communicator and an excellent listener; open, welcoming, easy to approach, always willing to help. Anyhow, with all my frailties, I took a big leap of faith and decided to venture into something unfamiliar to me, something which was totally “unme.” This time very “un-lawyer-like,” I did not use my head but instead prayed and listened to my “inner voice.” So, as what Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, I just gave myself fully to God, believing much more in His love than in my weakness, knowing that He will use me to do such catechism work for Him. (atty. josephine v. rosales is a practicing trial lawyer and lives in Villa Concepcion Subdivision.) ****** As Catholic Christian, I am a missionary who must spread the Gospel. I’ve been evangelizing to so many individuals, young and old and members of professional and socio-religious organizations that I too organized in 1983. God gave me gifts of talents/skills in public speaking, singing and TLC for the marginalized which I used for 36 years as a public health worker. I long wanted to become a catechist among school children but I was discouraged
due to my consultancy concerns after my retirement... but I realized I must capture the innocent young minds and hearts of the children to “plant” God’s love before they get “earthly” with their existence. (melba vera cruz is a retired DOH employee and is engaged in Health and Nutrition consultancy services. She lives in VillaSorabella Subdivision.) ****** In 2015, I joined the pastoral council in conducting the home evangelization program to promote the devotion to the Two Hearts and St. Jude Thaddeus. I was not expecting much but I delighted in finding that some families still prayed the rosary; and I was truly amazed to behold the children leading the family rosary complete with the Litany of Loreto. At the extreme, I was disheartened to see that most families do not pray, either because they do not know any, or they had forgotten how to pray. I began to wonder what the mothers would be teaching the children if many do not go to mass and are strangers to our faith. What would become of the children when the State has totally abandoned, if not reduced God to a mere Values Education. They must be the lambs among packs of very hungry wolves. I volunteered then to be a catechist but was promptly refused for I was still working. I opted to work for the BEC but it was yet an idea in 2015. I thought finally of inviting children to our garage to a regular Saturday classes and read books about saints, but meetings then were numerous and endless. So I settled with becoming an ambush catechist in the Mothers’ classes of the Sisters of Charity. I struck gold when Fr. Francis asked for volunteers; my hand readily shot up, albeit, my retirement day is ten years hence.
