20170717 Gospel Mt 10:34—11:1

Jesus said to his Apostles: "Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's enemies will be those of his household.

"Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple–amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward."

When Jesus finished giving these commands to his Twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.

Reflection:

An pagka-maunungon o loyaty amo’y isa sa mga bertud na tagbatunan nan kahamukan sa mga Habunganon.

Mounong gajud kita sa ato mga mahal sa kinabuhi, mga kalumunonan sanan sa ato mga suod na higaya sa mga oras nan panginahang’lan.

Lunod-patay an tawag nan ini sa Habungan.

Pero sa statement ni Jesus dinhi sa ato ebanghelyo, seguro an buot Nija ipasabot na kinahang’lan unahon gajud nato an ato paghigugma kan God kaysa sa ato mga gintujok kay Sija man an nagmugna nan tanan sa kalibutan.

Si God gajud permi an mauna sa ato mga kasing-kasing, sa ato huna-huna sanan sa tibook nato kinabuhi.
