20170831 Gospel Mt 24:42-51

Jesus said to his disciples: "Stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.

"Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so. Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is long delayed,' and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards, the servant's master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."

Reflection:

Waya kita tanan mahibayo kon kun’o mobalik dinhi dato si Lord para magpadangan nan paghukom sa mga buhi sanan mga patay – anytime, mo-abot Sija dato.

Kinahanglan himoon nato na sumbanan ini’n pasidaan dato ni Jesus dato dinhi sa ato ebanghelyo kuman permi kita andam sa ato mga kasing-kasing sanan sa ato mga kaugalingon kon ugaling moabot man an panahon nan Ija pag-hukom, in any moment.

Kuman na an oras para kita magsugod na maghinulsol sanan mag-bag’o sa ato mga kinabuhi pasingod nadto sa katarong para permi kita andam na moatubang sa ato Lord kon oras na nan paghusga.

Kon gusto nato na magbaton nan kinabuhi na waya’y katapusan na kalipay didto sa kalangitan kaiban ni God sanan Ija mga angel, kuman na an oras para mangajo kita nan pasaylo Dija sanan maghinulsol sa ato mga kasy’anan, despuwes, magnub-nob na para dili na kita makasaya pag-utro batok Dija para everytime, andam kita na moatubang kan Lord.
