Need a scratch?
he story below is a story which I have heard once during a retreat when I was still in college. The wisdom of the story complements well with this 19th Sunday Gospel reading where each of us is challenged to “be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return . . . (lk 12:3637).” May I write the story which I entitled, “The Parable of the Matchsticks.” The matchsticks live in darkness spark a light. “If only I can come back to inside the box. They only can see light the box so I can tell my comrades about when the owner of the matchbox opens the miracle that we are capable of” the it. The matchsticks are so delighted when matchstick thought to himself. the box is opened because they can see Soon when the electric power light but every one of them become resumed, while the owner of the anxious as well since surely one matchbox was phasing about his room, he of them shall be pulled out by saw the unused matchstick on SUNDAY the owner of the matchbox and REFLECTION the floor, picked it up and will never return after they hear returned it to the box. Now the a strange crashing sound outside returning matchstick was so excited to tell the box. No one among them knew where his comrades, and he declared to all the matchstick which left them went to. saying: “You know my friends we live in This routine came to be almost ordinary desolation because we live in darkness for the matchsticks which they came to and we see light only when the box opens accept as their lot. but we are sad because one of us leaves. One night when there was power Now I know the truth, I tell you and you failure in the city, the matchbox owner must believe because I am a witness. It is scampered to open the match box and the one of us, and in fact all of us which is the matchsticks were puzzled because they source of light, we need only a little did not see light this time. While the man scratching to produce light.” All the other hurriedly took a matchstick to light a matchsticks believed him and everyone candle he did not notice that he picked was perked-up and wished that someday two matchsticks, one he used to light the it shall be his own chance to be scratched candle after scratching and the other one and give light.

Naghinguwa ako na masabutan an samong mga binabasa bilang lector kaya nagbakal ako nin mga libro sa St. Paul. Pati mga ST. JUDE’S libro sa INTERCESSION Christian Living kan mga aki ko pigtyagaan ko. May mga dakula akong kahaputan arog kan “Pàno nagigin si Jesus an Eukaristiya?” “Pàno nagin sabay-sábay na tawo asin Dyos si Jesus?” “Ano an Blessed Trinity?” “Tano ta nagpapamibi kita ki Santa Maria, na tawo man sya?!” Iyan hinapot ko sa mga ka-prayer meeting ko pero dai ako nasatisfy. Hinapot ko an mga padi alagad namati ko na dinudulagan man ako. Urog na pag Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi, asin Pentecost, nagsisimba ako sa gabos na Misa, kabali an EWTN, ta binabantayan ko an mga homilies ta baka magpaliwanag an padi. Alagad dai man nawiwirikan nin tubig an pagkapaha ko. Kaya labi an pasalamat ko nanggad ki Pope Benedict XVI kan idineklara nya an Year of Faith. Pinaluwas kan Vatican an Catechism for Catholic Church. Kataid an Bibliya pig-intindi ko an Katesismo— magabat asin dakul cross-references. Pati si pam-Pinoy na Catechism na libro binakal ko ta dakol duman manungod ki Santa Maria. Pero an pinakasunô ko si libro na The Faith Explained ni Leo Trese, ta garo hard to put down na bestseller. Pagmati ko garo ako si babaying nagbabalangibog sa mga pagtaraid na nakua ko na si lost coins. Minsan naghapot ako sa padi kun heretismo an pagka-estranghero ko sa pagtubod. An sabi nya, an pagtubod talagang naghahanap nin kalinawan. Ini an saro sa mga dai ko malingawan na faith journeys. Kaya sa oras nin karibungan, dai basáng magbalyo nin

bishop to catholic media
“Use communication to build communion”
A
Catholic bishop has encouraged Church media practitioners to explore further how communication can be used for communion building.
Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara of the Episcopal Commission on Social Communications (ECSC) stressed the importance of communication for building and nourishing communion. Echoing Pope Francis message for this year’s World Communications Day, he urged the responsible use of the internet to help build Christian community. “This is the challenge for us now is the shift from communication to communion,” Vergara told the participants of this year’s National Catholic Media Congress (NCMC) on August 6. The challenge, according to him, is doing something not just on social media but how to let people feel the love of God. “The importance is what we do to spread the Gospel will not just stay in the social media but will also touch the hearts of the people for them to experience God’s love,” he added. More than 180 participants from all over the country joined the convention
held in Mataasnakahoy, Batangas. The four-day gathering was organized by the ECSC to strengthen the collaboration among the Catholic media. Amid the “persecution” that the church is facing, Vergara stressed that building a community of social communicators having one voice is indeed necessary. “It is at this time that we cannot work alone, that is, to each his own. We need to work together given our identity and mission as one Body of Christ, one Church,” he said. Archbishop Gilbert Garcera of Lipa, NCMC host, has called the participants towards the “renewal of truth”. “The renewal for truth is our transformation as instruments of God to spread truth,” Garcera in his homily. Also present during the gathering was Bishop Marcelino Antonio Maralit, the incoming chairman of ECSC, and a number of priests.

show everyone that I am a child of God. I wondered what this meant. I asked myself the questions: What is the reason why I suddenly wanted to relate to others? What is in the story that prompted a sudden urge in me to relate with God? The same questions are echoed by Jesus in this Gospel for the 19th Sunday of the Year. Jesus said: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom (lk 12:32).” And, “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked (lk 12: 47-48).” 7 ramon l. almoneda, phd-th
Maninigo na tawan nin onra si Maria siring na tinawan sya nin onra— kaiba an pagkamuot, paggalang, asin pagrespeto—ni Jesus asin kan mga Apostol. Dai ta pwedeng ipasipara siring man na igwa man nanggad nin mga pag-abuso manunungod sa mga kaso nin kaniguan na pagdebosyon ki Maria. Alagad an pag-ulug-úlog ki Maria kan mga pundamentalista dai nanggad pwedeng itugot. Dapat saná na tawan onra si Maria nin huli ta pinili sya nin Dyos asin bako nin siisaypaman.

I
n his prayer intention for the month of August 2019, Pope Francis invites us to pray for families:
What kind of world do we want to leave for the future? Let us leave a world with families. Let us care for our families, because they are true schools for the future, spaces of freedom, and centers of humanity. And let us reserve a special place in our families for individual and communal prayer. Let us pray that families, through their life of prayer and love, become ever more clearly “schools of true human development”. —pope francis previous page / Faith, understanding
