DUNGIS
Mula sa tugatog ng Iyong kal'walhatian,
Nanaog Ka at sa ami'y nanirahan.
Humimlay sa kagaspangan ng sabsaban,
Kay dungis Mo...
at sa dungis nga nami'y nanahan.

Trivia sa Biblia:
Gospel of Mark...
Simple lang pero Rock!
_________________
Dahil nga ngayon ay Kapistahan ni San Marcos, konting trivia lang tungkol sa kanya at paano tayo matututo sa kanyang writing skills!

Simple lang pero Rock! Some play of words dito mga ka-hugot: SIMPLE dahil ang Ebanghelyo ni San Marcos ay sinulat niya na simple lang at direct to the point ika nga, wala masyadong istilo kung ang mga literary critics ang tatanungin. ROCK dahil siya ay disipulo ni San Pedro kaya sigurado tayong solid ang kanyang narrative at syempre medyo may "bragging rights" siya with his work being the first to be written of the four canonical Gospels.

Isa din sa mapapansin sa gawa ni San Marcos ay ang kanyang pagpapaliwanag sa mga kaugalian ng mga Hudyo at pagsasalin niya ng mga salita galing sa wikang Aramaic. It meant na he was making sure na his readers, who were Gentile converts and were not familiar with Jewish customs and Aramaic, would understand the Jesus Story.

Ano ang matututunan natin kay San Marcos?

Siguro ito:
1) When we proclaim the Good News, mas okay kung simple at klaro;
2) Na ang ating pagpapahayag about kay Lord ay dapat nakabatay din naman sa mga turo ng mga Apostol;
3) Na sa ating pagpapahayag, we have to make sure that others can understand what we are talking about.

In short...let's keep it simple...pero rock.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
sa lahat ng ating mga kaibigan, kapatid, ina na mas ginawang kaaya-aya at kabuhay-buhay ang mundo!

Of course, to the strongest WOMAN we know: Hail to the Queen! Ave Maria!

Si Mama Mary ay isinasalarawan ng iba bilang mahiyain, tahimik, malumanay na babae sa mga pelikula, paintings, atbp mga obra. Pero kung babalikan natin ang Maria sa Biblia siya ay babaeng:

1) Kayang pangatawanan ang kanyang "OO" sa napakabigat na misyon ng pagiging Ina ng Diyos kahit pa may pangamba sa kanyang puso o kahit sa banta ng buhay sa kanyang pamilya (cf. Luke 1:38; Matthew 2:13-15);
2) Nagpahayag, sa kanyang Magnificat, ng pagkabagsak ng mga trono, pagkayupapa ng mga nasa itaas at pagtataas ng mga aba (cf. Luke 1:46-55);
3) Hindi nilisan ang kanyang Anak sa Krus hanggang kamatayan kahit ang mga kaibigan niya'y tuluyan siyang nilisan (cf. John 19:25-27)

Kaya sa lahat ng mga babaeng may mahalagang parte sa paghuhubog ng lipunan at simbahan, ng buong bayan ng Diyos, SALUDO KAMI SA INYO!

When you've been given
the most precious gift,
HOW DO YOU TREASURE IT?
cf. Luke 2:16-21
____________
JANUARY 1
SOLEMNITY OF MARY, MOTHER OF GOD
Gospel: Luke 2:16-21

When we give ourselves the chance to pause for a bit of prayerful reflection about our lives, we'll discover how much we are blessed by God despite, and even through, the challenges that we face.

St. Luke said that Mary treasured everything in her heart (Lk. 2:19). Kung babalikan natin ang mga pangyayari before, during, and even after the Lord's birth, kay daming pagsubok ang pinagdaanan ni Maria, Jose, at ng Sanggol na si Hesus. Yet, as the woman who believed in God's promise (Lk. 1:45), she had treasured everything as she continued learning God's ways in their lives.

Can you imagine if Mary did not treasure such precious things in her heart? Would Luke be able to listen to her and write for us a very beautiful Gospel? We are blessed today knowing all these stories of Jesus's birth because of the witness of Mary.

Tayo kaya, how do we treasure everything that God gives us? Time would come that we'll be graced to share such sacred stories to others that they may also be blessed.

Ang pag-ibig na ipinagkatiwala sa'yo
ay dapat pakaingatan mo.
-cf. Lucas 2:40
_____________
FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY
Gospel: Luke 2:22-40

Ang pinakamamahal na Anak ng Diyos ay ipinagkatiwala ng Ama sa mag-asawang Jose at Maria. Sa pagtanggap nga nila sa misyong maging mga magulang ni Lord dito sa lupa ay kaakibat nito ang pagkalinga sa sanggol na kailangan nga ng pag-aaruga upang siya ay lumaking malusog, puspos ng karunungan, at kalugud-lugod sa Diyos (Luke 2:40).

Our Lord is the LOVE of God made flesh, the LOVE that God offered to the world (cf. John 3:16). At kahit nga sa kabila ng mga sakripisyo at kahirapan, Mary and Joseph proved themselves to be trustworthy of the mission, of the love, God has gifted them.

Tayo kaya? Paano natin inaaruga, kinakalinga, iniingatan ang pag-ibig ng Diyos na ipinagkaloob at ipinagkatiwala sa atin? May we learn from the witness of Mary and Joseph. May we not waste the love that has been gifted to us.

Ang talagang tunay na makapangyarihan
ay siyang handang yumakap ng kahinaan.
-cf. Lucas 1:2-14
____________
CHRISTMAS MIDNIGHT MASS
Gospel: Luke 2:1-14

Napakagandang pagnilayan ang pagsasalaysay ni San Lucas sa mga pangyayari noong unang Pasko. Gumamit siya ng tinatawag natin na "irony" upang ipakita ang pagkakaiba ng pagpapakita ng Diyos na Siya'y makapangyarihan at kung paano naman ipinapakita ng tao na siya ang may kontrol sa lahat.

That humans, to show that they are powerful, ay kailangan talagang maipakita na sila ang "in control" (hence ang background na census ni Augustus Caesar to show that he's in control). Minsan nga gumagamit pa ng dahas at panlilinlang.

In contrast, God's way of being in control is ironic: hindi sa pamamagitan ng sigaw, o dahas, o panlilinlang, kundi sa pamamagitan ng iyak ng isang sanggol, sa pamamagitan ng kapayakan ng isang magkasintahan.

Kaya mag-ingat sa mga nagsasabing sila ang in control sa lahat at gumagamit ng dahas at panlilinlang upang kanilang gusto'y maisakatuparan.

To be in control, in God's way, means to be able to let even the simplest and humblest of persons to participate; never through force or deception, always through freedom and love and even through vulnerability like that of a child.

Disyerto: minsan nakatutuyo,
minsan lugar ng pagbabago't paglago.
cf. Mark 1:4-8

IKALAWANG LINGGO SA PANAHON NG ADBIYENTO
Gospel: Mark 1:1-8

Have you felt being in a desert wherein life is so dry, so lifeless, so empty? In today’s Gospel passage, the voice of the prophet that speaks of God’s hope is heard in a desert.

The desert, in biblical sense, is a place of intense and competing experiences, for example: It is in the desert that Jesus was tempted. But it was in the desert, too, that Jesus was empowered by the Holy Spirit.

In our life of faith, we will experience being in a desert. Where it seems that life is empty and lifeless, and that the evil spirit seems to have the upper hand. But we should remember that in the desert, too, is where the power of the Spirit is very much at work.

As we are baptized in the Holy Spirit, as John foretold about the Baptism to be done by Jesus, it brings to mind the symbol that the water of our baptism stands: a spring in us that is gushing up to eternal life (cf. John 4:14), a spring that will never dry up even in the midst of deserts.

So when we find ourselves in the deserts of our lives, let us ask the grace that our hearts listen not to the voice that disheartens but to the voice that empowers, the voice that can transform the deserts into places of transformation.

Kahintay-hintay pa ba
hinihintay mo?
cf. Marcos 13:36
____________________
UNANG LINGGO SA PANAHON NG ADBIYENTO
Gospel: Mark 13:33-37

Mga ka-hugot, heto na naman tayo sa bagong taon ng ating kalendaryo liturhikal na nagsisimula sa panahon ng Adbiyento: PANAHON NG PAGHIHINTAY SA PAGDATING NG PANGINOON.
PERO KAHINTAY-HINTAY PA BA ANG HINIHINTAY NATIN?

Mahalagang masagot natin ang katanungang ito nang ang ating pagsasaganap ng panahong ito ay hindi dahil "nakasanayan" na lang taun-taon. Dahil kapag ang rason ng ating pagsasaganap ay dahil sa nakasanayan na natin maaari itong maging sanhi ng pagkaantok ng ating mga puso gaya ng sinabi ni Hesus sa ebanghelyo ngayon (cf. Mk. 13:36)

Di ba kapag may mahal tayo sa buhay na hinihintay, hindi mapakali ang ating mga puso in a good way? Our hearts are excited. Our hearts are never sleepy.

We speak of waiting for God, the One we speak as the greatest love of our lives, but do we find our hearts excited for his coming?

Kung ating babalikan ang Ebanghelyo natin noong nakaraang Linggo, mapagtatanto nating sumasaatin nga si Lord at masasalamuha natin siya sa ating mga kapatid na lubos na nangangailangan ng pagmamahal.

Kaya, we can speak of an excited waiting by waiting on (serving) others in need. Huwag pong aantok-antok. Sumasaatin po si Lord.

Huwag po sana nating hayaang antukin ang ating puso sa pagmamahal sa kapwa dahil ibig sabihin niyan ay inaantok na rin ang ating pagmamahal kay Lord.

If it's true love,
the lover can never be
separated from the beloved.
cf. Matthew 25:40,45
____________________
SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE UNIVERSAL KING
Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46

God's love for his people is always concrete. It is not the result of some philosophical reflections but the lived experience of peoples throughout history.

This concrete manifestation of God's love is always expressed in God identifying Himself with humans: when God created us in his own image and likeness (cf. Gen. 1:26), when God heard the cries of his people enslaved in Egypt (cf. Ex 3:7), and ultimately when God became one of us and lived among us (cf. John 1:14).

In the new testament, as Bishop Robert Barron observes, two powerful texts come to mind:
1) the very Gospel for this day's great feast (Matthew 25:31-46) wherein Jesus, the Son of Man, the Shepherd King who is to come again, categorically identifies himself with the least. He does not say that when we serve the least, we are doing a good job. He says that when we serve them, we serve Him.

2) when Paul (who was still Saul) was persecuting the early Christians. Jesus did not tell him that Saul was persecuting them. He said that Saul was persecuting HIM.

Here it becomes clear what kind of God we have: the Shepherd King who loves so much that nothing can ever separate Him from the ones he loves. As Saint Paul later assured the persecuted Christians in Rome: "Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God." (cf. Rom 8:38-39)

Ang tiwalang tinaggap
ay pananagutang maging tapat.
-cf. Mateo 25:14-30
________________
IKA-33 NA LINGGO SA KARANIWANG PANAHON

Sa ating binyag tayo ay may mga regalo galing sa ating mga ninong at ninang, pero siguro sina nanay at tatay lang nakaalala nun. Ngunit sa ating pagtanda bilang tao at bilang Kristyano, unti-unti nating naiintindihan na higit sa lahat tayo ay nabigyan ng regalo at pananagutan noong tayo ay nabinyagan: ang pakikibahagi kay Kristo bilang pari, hari, at propeta.

Ito ay mahalagang regalo at malaking pananagutan. Dahil bilang pari tayo ay binigyan ng pagkakataon at pananagutang ipagdasal ang ating kapwa; bilang hari tayo ay binigyan ng pagkakataon at pananagutang maglingkod sa ating kapwa at lumingap sa kanilang pangangailangan; at bilang isang propeta tayo ay binigyan ng pagkakataon at pananagutang maging tagapagsalita ng Diyos na ipahayag ang kanyang pagmamahal sa lahat at kung kinakailangan ay ipahayag ang kanyang katotohanan at hustisya sa harap ng kasinungalinan at pang-aapi.

Ang biyaya ng ating buhay ay isang patuloy na oportunidad na piliin ang pag-uugali ng dalawang responsableng alipin: ang linangin at palaguin ang ating tinanggap at makihati sa ligaya ng Panginoon na masayang maglingkod sa kanyang bayan.
