20171026 Gospel Lk 12:49-53

Jesus said to his disciples: "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

Reflection:

Makasunog an kayajo nan mga butang sanan mga kabtangan, pero kon gamiton ini sa pagluto nan pagkaon, dako an kapuslanan.

Dinhi sa ebanghelyo, tag-gamit ni Jesus sa pagpa-kini (shiny) nan buyawan na an buot ipasabot na pagpadilaab o pagpahalayum nan ato mga tinuohan kan God.

Amo na gusto ni Jesus na motuhop sa ato mga huna-huna sanan modilaab sa ato mga kasing-kasing an ato pagtuo para mahimo nato an mga kagustohan ni Lord.

Mahitungod naman sa pagka-buyag-buyag nan mga pamilya tungod sa lain-lain na tinuohan, duro an mga pagtuo na sukwahi sa tinuohan nan tinuod na pagtuo na minugna ni Jesus, depende sa ila mga interpretasyon sa mga pulong ni Lord sa Bibliya.

Ugsa, para dako, isa ra gajud an tinood na relehiyon – an minugna ni Jesus.

20171025 Gospel Lk 12:39-48

Jesus said to his disciples: "Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."

Then Peter said, "Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?" And the Lord replied, "Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant's master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. That servant who knew his master's will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master's will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more."

Klaro karajaw dinhi sa ebanghelyo nato kuman an ato obligasyon kan God isip mga Kristiyano na kinahanglan tung’dan nato an ato adlaw-adlaw na obligasyon sa ato isigkatawo pinaagi sa ato pangsangyaw nan Marajaw na Balita nan pagka-salbar sa kasay’anan.

An marajaw na pormula para mahimo nato an ato trabaho para kan God an pag-diskubre anay nan kagustuhan o will Nija para katung’dan nato nan waya’y hunong an ato pag-preparar nan ini.

Sanan, marajaw gajud seguro na magamit nato an hinatag ni God na talento (talent), hibayo (knowledge), oras (time) sanan bahandi (resources) para sa ato serbisyo para sa kahimayaan ni God.

Ugsa, kinahanglan permi gajud nato pasalamatan si God sa Ija paghatag dato nan talent, knowledge, time sanan treasure para kita maka-panilbihan Dija para sa Ija kahimayaan.

20171024 Gospel Lk 12:35-38

Jesus said to his disciples: "Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants."

Reflection:

Importante na permi andam kita moatubang kan Lord abir kon uno’y oras Sija moabot para mopadangat nan paghukom dato tanan dinhi sa kalibutan nan mga buhi sanan nan mga minatay.

Kuman, andam ba kaha kita modawat kan Lord Jesus kon manoktok Sija sa ato pultahan sa pagka-kuman?

Amo na kon uno ka matinumanon si Jesus sa sugo nan Ija Father Dija, bisan hangtud sa punto na ibuhis Nija an Ija kinabuhi para lamang kita malibre sa ato mga kasay’anan, amo ‘sab unta kita ka matinumanon sa tanan mga sugo ni God dato.

20171023 Gospel Lk 12:13-21

Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me." He replied to him, "Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?" Then he said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions."

Then he told them a parable. "There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, 'What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?' And he said, 'This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, "Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!"' But God said to him, 'You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?' Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God."

Reflection:

Tagpasidan’an kita dinhi ni Jesus na isa ka dako na bisyo sanan kasay’anan batok kan God an pagka-hakug nan isa ka tawo sa ija isigkatawo kay an dangatan nan ini, waya na’y katapusan an ija kagustohan na maka-batun nan kabtangan sa kalibutan.

An resulta sa pagka-hakug nan tawo, himuon na nija na “diyos” an ija natipon na mga kabtangan sanan bahandi na hikalim’tan na nija na may tinood na God sa kalibutan na amo’y nagmugna nan tanan mga butang.

Dili man madaya nan tawo sa ija pagka-matay o sa ija pagpanaw sa kalibutan an mga kabtangan sanan mga bahandi na ija natipon nan buhi pa sija.

Amo na para dako, ko gusto nato maka-libre kita sa opresyon nan bisyo nan pagka-hakug, marajaw seguro na maka-kat’on kita na i-share nato an ato gamay na bahandi sa mga tawo na may panginahanglan ‘sab para kahatagan ‘sab  sila nan kahamugaway sa ila mga kinabuhi.

An tabang nato sa ato isigkatawo amo’y magsilbe na sakripisyo nato para kan God kay amo ma’y Ija gusto nato na himoon dinhi sa kalibutan, an pagtinabangay.
