Friend, move up higher When you are invited to a banquet, do not make yourself important.
O
nce I got invited to a debutante ball and to lead the invocation. I arrived early and took a seat. A woman who seemed to be the event organizer approached me and said, “Father, I am sorry, but this table is for the debutante’s family. You may take any seat except this one.” That was embarrassing. I sat at the wrong table. In the gospel (lk 14:7-14), we find What could be the point here? More Jesus at a banquet. Observing that the than just social manners given by Jesus, guests were choosing the place of honor, this inevitably points more to our life of Jesus, rather than directly criticizing the faith. Many people give too much guests’ behavior, told them a parable, importance to themselves. They seek not “When you are invited to a just simple honor, but the highest praise. wedding banquet, do not recline Be superior than others! Be the first! Be at a table in the place of honor... the best! Be the richest, the SUNDAY Rather, go and take the lowest REFLECTION most beautiful, the most place” (lk 14:8,10). powerful! But this is not so in Why were the guests the Kingdom of God—“where everyone choosing the place of honor? And why who exalts himself will be humbled, and should one take the lowest place? In the one who humbles himself will be Jesus’ time, people were usually seated at exalted” (lk 14:11). This is the way from banquets according to social rank. People Christ’s humiliation in the cross to his who look for self-importance would glory. This is the same movement of the naturally choose the best place because one called “friend” and was asked to their seating affected others’ perceptions “move up higher.” The wedding banquet of their honor. Now, Jesus pointed out portrays this Kingdom, where God as the this cultural behavior to teach something. host who gives honor to the one who Rather than choosing a place of honor deserves it, and where we as the guests and be demoted by the host to make who should approach the banquet with room for a more distinguished guest, all humility. Jesus suggested: start by sitting at the After praying the invocation, I walked lowest place. Then the host may come to towards the last table. But the mother of ask such a person, “Friend, move up the debutante approached me and said, higher.” “Move up to a better seat.” “Move “Father, come forward and sit with us; up to a more important place.” And such a you are family and a friend!” 7 fr. erwin b. blasa person receives all the honor.

Pope Gregory did when he was merely two years old must not desire to become pope, accepted the position nevertheless. The pope voiced his preference for the monastic life instead, through a series of writings that praise ‘being a monk’. He was stern and tight as a pope. But he referred to himself as a servant of God, of which many of the clergy now call themselves. This was because of his missionary work for the unfortunate and empoverished. He ordered his clergy to roam the streets to look for and aid the needy. Anything, from money to land, donated to the Church by the wealthy people in Rome was generously given to the poor under his command. Pope Gregory changed a lot of things in the Catholic mass, and until now the Our Father is where he still put it. Immediately after his death by arthritis, he was proclaimed a saint by populat acclaim. His feast day was moved from March 12 to September 3. 7 jahzara

Food and music with the youth of SJTP
H
ow do you make the young ones go to Church? The easy answer would be: free food and music.
The Archdiocesan Shrine and Parish of St Jude Thaddeus achieved this milestone last August 21, 2019. The Parish Youth Day organized gathered a total of 103 youth participants from Bgy. Del Rosario and Bgy. Concepcion Grande. They actively responded to the invitation of the Youth Ministry of the Parish after several weeks of campaign and invitation. It was a whole day celebration of the young where the activity focused on strengthening Youth participation in developing communities anchored in the ideals and teachings of the Catholic Church. It was a day filled with fun, learning, worship, and music. The whole event was a lively collaboration between the Youth Ministry of the Parish, Youth for Christ which was commissioned by the re-energized Couples for Christ movement, the Parish Pastoral Council and the Eucharistic Ministers. The activity paved the way to enlarge the territory and develop relationship among the young sector of the Parish where
Christ is its Center and prime convenor of people. The day started with a Eucharistic Celebration presided by the parish priest, Fr. Francis Tordilla, followed by a series of valuable talks on Friendship, Social Media and Mental Health. These break-away sessions were developed and delivered enthusiastically by competent speakers from the Youth for Christ and one psychologist. The amazing race which followed proved to be a welcome surprise to the young despite the intermittent rain which in no way dampened the spirit of the enthusiastic youngsters. Teamwork among peers while having fun sealed the new bond that was formed during the day. The day was capped by a Youth Jam, a musical gig concocted for the budding parishioners through the help of local music artists and the YFC Music Ministry. It was a day not only for the young ones but also for the various people behind the activity. The old dictum that the youth is the future of our Church is no
longer valid. The youth is the present of the Church. They are beloved, gifted and empowered. They now have a voice within the parish and they know they can contribute to its vibrant growth. The Parish youth day became an avenue for building relationships beyond the confines of the walls of their homes and the flickering screens. It is our prayer and dream that they will soon be initiated and moulded to become the front liners of the local church. It is only the beginning of an exciting journey for the Youth of St Jude Thaddeus Parish. More is in store. 7 first page / Banhi
