Prepare for grace surges
D
uring the onslaught of Typhoon Tisoy, every one received a message service on their mobile phones warning them of the danger of a storm surge and therefore the need to evacuate to higher and safer places. The message was helpful to many no matter how eerie the message alert was. Everyone needed to be reminded of the primacy of safety. This Christmas, Christ wants to make The First Reading paints a different a new but joyful surge of grace in the picture of what God has in store when we world, in the Church, and in each stay close to Him. It uses vivid language one of our lives. He wants to to describe the perfect justice, SUNDAY keep pouring out those benefits peace and harmony of life in REFLECTION of Redemption. So He sends the Kingdom of God. It shows messages of alert for he wants us wolves and lambs entertaining each other, to be ready to receive this year's new lions eating hay and living in peace with surge of grace - he doesn't want us to miss cattle, the utter destruction of ruthless out on it. And so, through the liturgy, he and wicked people...These are descriptions sends his messenger once again to teach of the world as it will be when Christ's us how to get ready. redemption reaches everyone and Clearing the way for Christ to enter selfishness is conquered. more deeply into our society and our lives It is also a description of what means, first of all, repenting. To repent is happens inside our souls when we let to turn away from selfish behavior Christ rule there, as all the saints have patterns. To repent means to done so well. Take St. Lawrence, for acknowledge our sins. After all, how can instance, a deacon in Rome in the 200s, we have room in our hearts for the when it was still illegal to be a Christian. coming of a Savior unless we are aware of The Emperor sent St. Lawrence to death our need to be saved? During the by being roasted alive. But even while he typhoon, it was saddening how some was burning on the grill, his heart was at residents wouldn’t leave their houses for peace.

Front Page | sunday reflection coming also involves positive action, it means "bearing good fruit." Active, self-forgetful service towards our neighbor shows that our repentance is real. What good is acknowledging our selfishness and sin unless we also decide to leave that sin behind, and then make concrete actions to carry out that decision? Feeling sad therefore for the fate of our kababayan affected by the typhoon is not enough. We need to lift a finger so that their misery could be alleviated. Sometimes it doesn’t have to a dole-out giving or sharing. Sometime it also means fighting for them so that the local government would release their much-deserved typhoon relief goods without be hampered by too much politicking. If we do these two things, repent and reform, we will be ready to experience the joys of the coming Kingdom in a fresh way this Christmas, just as Christ wants us to. 7 fr. francis a. tordilla
Solidarity in prayer, solidarity in service
D
ays before the beginning of Advent, news of an impending typhoon that could directly affect the people of our province began circulating in social media. It created a sense of awareness to everyone that even young children started to ask their parents would the typhoon bring us great damage and hurt us badly.
Adults, as usual, braved this news as something serious but should be dealt with grace and cool so as not to cause panic and worry among the family. As a mother, my only remedy for moments where doubt is wild and frantic is my prayer, I knelt down and hope for the best. I knew I was never alone, I was one with my community, one with the church in praying that we be spared from hurt, harm and fear.
We had more than 8 hours of howling winds, endless rains and sleepless night last December 2nd, but it was one night where we became one in prayer, in the comfort of our homes, we lit our candle of faith hoping for a better morning to come. We call that solidarity in prayer, the very essence of advent, we have experienced them as a community, as one church. And it has spared us greatly from something we thought was inevitable

and overwhelming. I sincerely hope this solidarity in prayer would in turn lead to solidarity in service as we help rebuild devastated homes, chapels, and hearts through consolidated efforts of every one. Typhoon Tisoy taught us a lot of things, but certainly, sharing faith and hope through prayers can conquer almost everything that may come our way. Truly, the best way to prepare for the coming of the Lord. 7 mariss catherine roque

May mga nagsasabi na an bituon sarong makangangalas na pangyayari, kun kaya iyo ini an naggiya sa mga mago. Alagad dai ining katutuuhan. An Bibliya dai man nagsasabi na an bituon nagmiro asin naggiya sa mga mago. Kan nakaabot an mga hadi sa Jerusalem, an sabi ninda: “Hain an namundag na Hadi kan mga Hudiyo? Ta nahiling mi an bituon sa Sirangan.” (Mt. 2:2) Pwedeng masabutan an bersikulong ini sa duwang paagi: 1. An mga hadi o mago yaon sa Sirangan kan mahiling ninda an bituon; asin 2. nahiling ninda an pagsirang kan bituon sa Sirangan. Mayong sinasabi an duwang interpretasyon na ini manungod sa paggiya sa mga mago. Naisip saná ninda na an pagsirang kan bituon na ini nagpapasabot
