The great abyss
here’s an old saying, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” It’s another way of saying simply wishing for something isn’t going to make it happen. The fairy tales that we all love as children are full of spells that bring instant happiness and charms to make dreams come true. But they are fantasy, not reality. The reason why such stories have had much appeal through the ages is because they promise glowing rewards without effort. Life isn’t like that, most especially Christian life. How often we hear people say that they all your heart, and love your neighbor as will get to heaven because they haven't yourself. committed any heinous crimes. The rich man in this parable was not "I'm a good guy," they say, "I haven't an axe-murderer, mafia boss, or a murdered anyone or I haven’t stolen terrorist. He had no particularly millions of money." This attitude is damaging "sins of commission" on his not Christian at all. résumé. He was a pretty good guy. And As Jesus teaches us in the yet, he failed to enter into SUNDAY parable of Lazarus and the rich REFLECTION eternal life. man, salvation and eternal life The rich man does not have are not just about avoiding a name because God does not know the so-called "big" sins. That's a negative and rich man. He suffices for himself. He does passive approach to life. not need God. He is firmly indifferent and But Christ is not passive. He is active. he keeps himself duly away from his He became like us to save us. He took the interiority. And God respects this distance. initiative.

The key those footsteps. It means much more than word to understand the parable is: abyss. simply avoiding gruesome crimes. Being a There is an abyss between the rich and Christian means living like Christ, living Lazarus. There is an unbridgeable ravine. for his Kingdom, living for others. The rich man was not condemned because Isn't it interesting that when Jesus he was rich but because he is indifferent. was asked which were the most important His own life is an abyss: an attitude that commandments, he didn't choose the describes a heart that is content to negative ones; the "thou shall not" ones. stagnate, without crossing the distance to Instead, he listed two active, positive, meet its brother.

Para sa Domingo 27c, Ord. Panahon “Mayong pakinabang na mga uripon kami; katungdan ming gibohon an ginibo niamo.” babasahon i: hab 1:2-3;2:2-14 Mababasa nyato an inagrangay sa Kagurangnan kan Propetang si Habakkuk manungod sa byolensyang sinasapò kan banwaan na Israel. Ipinapaabot nya kun pàno MGA BANHI binaliktad nin KAN TATARAMON Dyos an kahusayan kan kinaban sa inabtan kan saiyang banwaan. An Kagurangnan nagsimbag na mayo dapat ikahadit nin huli ta igwang syang plano para sainda. An tawong mapaabaw-abaw dai makakapaghalat. An matanos magigin maimbod asin panô nin pagláom. babasahon 2: 2tim 1:6-8,13-14 An duwang surat ni Pablo ki Timoteo inaapod na mga surat pastoral huli sa mga hulit ni Pablo bilang pastor. Pinapagirumdom ni Pablo na dai sinda tinawan kan Dyos nin espiritu nin katalsutan. Pinapatanidan ni Pablo si Timoteo na dai masupog sa pagsaksi manungod sa pagtubod. Si Pablo sarong buháy na saksi kun pàno magin pusog an sarong pastor sa tahaw nin kadipisilan. ebanghelyo: lk 17:5-10 Sa saindang pagbaklay kaiba si Jesus, nabuklat an mga mata kan mga apostol manungod sa kadakulaan kan misyon kun sain sinda isinusubol. Hinagad ninda na magtalubo an saindang pagtubod. Si Jesus tinukduan sinda na an disipulong may pagtubod, ini tataong maglingkod.

Mapping the parish community. Seminarians from the Diocese of Legazpi are helping SJTP organize the Basic Ecclesial Community at Sitio Magdalena. One of the preliminary works is community mapping which involves on-site evaluation of households and possible clustering system and identification of community resources. The group got a big help on Friday, September 26, from an unexpected ally: a drone, piloted by Ms. Apol Baldemor. 7 PWB
Sitio San Pio fiesta sitio san pio is a growing participatory community that engages the young. This was the impression they created as they celebrated their patronal fiesta last September 23, Monday. The young members of this enthusiastic community situated at Jardin Real Subdivision in Naga City were hands-on in organizing the whole day affair. The mostly-young faithful animated the Holy Mass which was celebrated by Fr. Francis. Mrs. Conchita Capaciete got everyone excited after the mass as she gave away free meals. The day was spent in the traditional barrio fiesta mood involving everyone. The budding sitio is under the watch of the dynamic couple and BEC animators, Sis Jong and Brod. Edong Surtida. 7 pwb
APOLO-GIYA
Mga prebilehiyo kan debosyon ki Maria
K
an Pebrero 4, 1896, sa pamamayo ni Papa Leo XIII, an Vatikano nagtugot na iwaras ang indulhensya plenarya sa gabos na mga deboto ni Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia na mabisita sa saiyang simbahan. An indulgensya plenarya iyo an pagpatawad kan kapadusahan digdi sa ka kinaban kan mga kasalan na pinatawad na. Ini gikan sa kaban kan mga merito ni Kristo, asin siring man sa mga karahayan na naginibo kan mga santo asin lalong-lalo na kan Mahal na Ina. An indulhensya plenarya itinatao kan simbahan gikan sa kapangyarihan nin pagbugkos asin paghubad na itinao mismo kan Kagurangnan (Mt. 18:18). Itinatao ini kan Simbahan bako lang
bilang tabang sa mga kristyano kundi tanganing sadulón sinda sa paggibo nin mga gawe nin pagdebosyon, paghagad nin tawad asin gibong herak (CCC 1478). Pano makakua nin Indulhensya Plenarya? Makakakua nin Indulgensya plenarya pakatapos magsolsol kan saindang mga kasalan, magkumpisal asin magkomunyon an mga deboto na nagbibisita sa Basilica ni Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia sa ano man na aldaw na napili kan deboto. 7 fr. francis a. tordilla An apolo-giya sarong bagong kolum kan SJTP Parish Weekly Bulletin na nagsisimbag o naglilinaw sa mga praktikal na hapot dapít sa Doktrinang Katoliko.
