Ngayong Lunes pagkatapos ng Pentecost, ipinagdiriwang natin ang Kapistahan ni Maria, Ina ng Simbahan.

Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?
Na tayo, bilang Simbahan—ang Katawan ni Kristo—ay may Ina rin.

Si Maria ang ina ng ating Panginoon.
Inalagaan Niya Siya.
Inaruga.
Pinakain.
Umiyak para sa Kanya at kasama Niya.
Nagdurusa nang Siya’y nagdurusa.

At ginagawa rin Niya ito para sa atin—inaalagaan tayo, inaaruga, pinakakain, umiiyak para sa atin at kasama natin, nagdurusa kapag tayo’y nagdurusa.

Sa bawat tagumpay at kabiguan, sa bawat galak at luha, naroon ang ating Ina—tumatawa, nagdurusa, sumasaya, nalulungkot—kasama natin.

“Sumainyo ang kapayapaan.”

Ito ang unang winika ni Hesus sa Kanyang mga alagad matapos Siyang muling mabuhay.

Pero ano nga ba ang tunay na kapayapaan?

Marami ang nag-aakala na ito ay kawalan ng gulo o problema. Ngunit hindi iyon ang kapayapaan na handog ni Kristo. Ang kapayapaan Niya ay ang pananatiling panatag sa gitna ng kaguluhan, ang katiyakang magtatagumpay pa rin ang plano ng Diyos sa kabila ng kawalang‑kasiguraduhan sa ating paligid.

Ito ang tunay na kapayapaan.

Kaya tanong: May kapayapaan ba tayo? Nanatili ba tayong panatag at tiyak sa kabila ng mga suliranin at kaguluhan ng mundo?

Ngayong araw, humiling tayo ng biyaya—na makamtan natin ang kapayapaang handog ni Kristo, kapayapaang hindi kayang ibigay ng mundo, kundi kapayapaang mula sa Kanya lamang.

Today is Pentecost—the moment when the Holy Spirit descended upon Mary and the Apostles.

When we speak of the Spirit, two things often come to mind: the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. At baptism, each of us received the seven gifts. But having the gifts does not automatically mean the fruits are alive in us. The gifts prove the Spirit dwells within; the fruits prove whether we live as temples of the Spirit.

So how do we know if we are truly filled with the Spirit?
The answer is simple: we see it in the fruit.

Do we have love—not romantic love, but the love God has for us?
Do we carry joy—hope that endures even in the face of great trials?
Do we hold peace—the calm that remains in life’s storms?
Are we patient—especially in waiting for God’s answers to prayer?
Do kindness and goodness shine through us?
Are we faithful to our Christian calling?
Do we show gentleness and controlled strength, especially when entrusted with power?
Or do we easily give in to passions and emotions?

Brothers and sisters, we have already received the Holy Spirit. But may His presence be seen in our lives. On this Pentecost, let us pray for the grace that the Spirit may always bear fruit in us. Amen.

Many believe God is distant, hard to reach. But today’s Gospel (John 21:15–19) tells a different story.

When Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” three times, it was proof that God always meets us halfway. He meets us where we are.

The challenge is that the English translation misses the depth of the original Greek.
In Greek, there are four words for love: eros (physical love), storge (familial love), philia (brotherly love), and agape (unconditional love).

In the text, Jesus first used agapas—asking Peter if he loved Him unconditionally. Twice Peter answered with philo—a lesser love, brotherly affection. On the third time, Jesus Himself used philo. And Peter again responded with phileis.

Do you see? Jesus was asking for unconditional love. But Peter, representing all of us, could only offer love with limits. And instead of rejecting him, Jesus lowered Himself to Peter’s level—to our level. He adjusted. He made the way for us to reach Him.

Kapatid, if you think God is out of reach, you are gravely mistaken. Perhaps all you need is to open your heart and realize: all this time, He has been right beside you.

Sa ating Unang Pagbasa ngayon (Acts 20:28–38), maririnig natin ang pamamaalam ni San Pablo sa mga taga‑Efeso.

Bakit?
Dahil tapos na ang kanyang misyon doon. Halos tatlong taon siyang nanatili upang ipangaral ang Mabuting Balita, sanayin ang mga susunod na lider, at gabayan ang lokal na simbahan. At ngayong natapos na, kailangan na niyang lumisan at ipaubaya ang pamumuno sa iba.

Sabi ni Fr. John sa kanyang homiliya: “True leadership serves; hindi kapit‑tuko sa posisyon.”
Ganito si San Pablo. Ganito ang mga Apostol. Ganito ang tunay na lider. At ganito rin dapat tayo.

Ngunit sa realidad, madalas hindi ganito ang nangyayari.

Mula gobyerno—barangay hanggang national level—hanggang sa ating mga parokya, nakikita natin ang mga lider na ayaw bitiwan ang kapangyarihan. May mga kahit uugod‑ugod na ayaw pa ring bumaba sa pwesto. May mga nagpapalit ng asawa, anak, o kapamilya para manatili sa poder. May mga umalis na sa posisyon pero gusto pa ring sila ang masusunod. May mga ayaw managot sa kanilang pagkukulang.

Kung susundan natin ang halimbawa ni San Pablo, hindi sila tunay na lider. Sapagkat ang tunay na lider ay inuuna ang kapakanan ng iba, hindi ang sarili. Ang tunay na lider ay marunong umamin sa pagkakamali. Ang tunay na lider ay handang magsakripisyo. Kung inuna ni San Pablo ang sarili, hindi na sana siya bumalik sa Jerusalem—dahil alam niyang kapahamakan ang naghihintay sa kanya roon.

Kaya bilang mamamayan at Kristiyano, tanungin natin ang ating sarili:
Ang mga lider ba sa aking bayan at Simbahan ay humahalintulad kina San Pablo at sa mga Apostol?

At para sa mga nakaluklok sa posisyon:
Katulad ba ako nina San Pablo at ng mga Apostol sa aking paglilingkod? O kapit‑tuko lang ako sa kapangyarihan?

Mabigat ang katotohanan, pero kailangan harapin.
Ang pamumuno ay hindi tungkol sa kapangyarihan.
Ito ay tungkol sa paglilingkod.
At kung hindi tayo marunong bumitaw kapag sinabi ng Diyos na oras na,
hindi tayo namumuno—kapit‑tuko lang tayo.

God bless!

Hindi porke't umakyat na si Hesus sa langit ay pinabayaan na Niya tayo.

The same Jesus who ascended into heaven still walks with us.

Jesus entrusts His mission to us.

Our mission begins where we are.
Hindi kailangan maging sikat.
Hindi kailangan maging preacher.
Hindi kailangan sikat sa social media to start our mission.
