GOSPEL REFLECTION

Guide Question: Is the love I know and understand the same love Jesus speaks about?

Jesus taught us to “Love one another”, a simple yet very precise commandment. Though seemingly easy, I find this commandment difficult to adhere. Difficulty comes when the person is “unlovable”. How can I love my enemies, indifferent officemates, blabbering neighbors. But then again, as Jesus said simply, love one another - no exceptions, no biases.

It took me sometime to embrace fully Jesus’ commandment. Until one day, an officemate of mine started talking behind my back. This bothers me greatly, that I told our Human Resource Officer of this nuisance officemate. This issue becomes bigger and was even escalated to our Legal Officer. It was nearly Christmas then when the incident happened. Oddly, all I could hear over the FM radio that time is the song “give love on Christmas day”. One night, as I was reflecting over the issue, I prayed to God, Lord how can I give love or how can I love the person I hate, in short unlovable. It really pains me to love somebody who caused me ache and discomfort.

But God is so amazing, that He made me realized, that I too once, twice, or so many times, became unlovable too. But God did not question my being “unlovable”. He continued to laud me with so many blessings: good health, family and even my career despite of who I am.

One morning, as I was heading to the office, I happened to see this officemate of mine. Heading towards where she stands, I prayed. Lord, allow me to love this unlovable person, the way you love me when I was once unlovable too. When I stopped at her, I have come to realized that my hatred was gone.

The gospel reminded me that loving one another, lovable or unlovable, is not difficult at all.

Before leading the worship, Kuya Ram reminded us the Lord is consistent. He said that the Lord that accompanied the young Timothy in the mission is the same God that is walking with us today. He is with us at all times. In the times we are victorious and in the times that we cry. He is with the hardship that we carry. With that, He makes us strong.

Ate Reigne shared how she juggled her time in order to fulfill her responsibilities. She expressed how hard it is to be a student, a leader, and a daughter at the same time. She said that she will not be able to perform all these roles at once without the help and the inspiration she gets from her brothers and sisters in the community, and most of all, from God.

It is a call for us to continue to serve the Lord despite the hectic and fast-paced lives we have. It is a call to give back the love and blessings we receive from Him by being active in the community. Padayon!

In his talk, Kuya Gian established the difference between right and wrong. With that, we should always choose to do what is right.

He recalled several high school experiences as he enumerated what he called five High School Based values. He expounded that we should always show God through our:

SPEECH. We should be aware that our words are powerful. That some may be jokes to us but one could be affected by it.

CONDUCT. We should act how God wanted us to act. He reminded that a bad deed that is normalized by the society is still wrong and we should do what is right.

LOVE. We should live out in love. We should not forget to love even if we are hurt. He quoted "Nagmahal, nasaktan, at nagmahal ulit" as an example reminding us to forgive.

FAITH. We should declare how faithful we are and ecourage others to do the same. That showing our faith is a way of evangelization.

PURITY. We should be clean in all things, from our intentions to our thoughts.

Upon ending his talk, Kuya Gian once again left a reminder that our age is not a barrier for being a missionary. He related it to Timothy who, despite his young age, was sent on a mission. Let's go, High School Based!

Ate Gwyn recalls her journey throughout the school year. She narrated that the past months were a montage of stress, drama, and tears. Due to these hardships, she came to the point where her prayer time and her communication with the Lord were sacrificed. Nevertheless, she overcame all of these. The weekly gathering was one way for her to destress, and later on, she reconnected with the Lord. She stated that we should not be complaining about the stress we encounter at school, but instead, we should be thankful that we are given the education we need.

We should be reminded that the hardships we meet along the road will make us appreciate the prize we will get at the end of the tunnel. We have to sow our efforts in order to harvest our achievements after.

Upon starting his talk, Kuya Gerald uttered a short yet powerful line. He said that we should not think that the world has stopped just because we are quarantined. We should be reminded that God is very much alive and we are experiencing it through the people around us. He gave us parents who feeds us whenever we are hungry and our brothers and sisters in the community that looks after us as an example.

He also affirmed that God is doing three things to us. He HEARS, LISTENS, and FEELS. And all of these are rooted to our prayers, our communication to Him. He encouraged us to pray, not only for our safety but also for others.

Ending his talk, Kuya Gerald also reminded us to be productive at home. The first is by praying and second, is by being better. That we can improve our skills at home.

This talk is full of reminders for us to be positive, grateful, and be productive. By praying or making small efforts we make God alive in our hearts. God is alive in us.

Kuya Fernillian started the event with his prologue. He reminded us that being stucked at home is a blessing for we have roofs above our heads. He reminded us that we can do a lot of things at home. First, he said that this is the time to reconnect with our families for we have spent so little time with them for the past months. He also pointed out that this is also the time to keep the fire burning. To not lose hope and pray. Lastly, he stated that this is also the time to be grateful to the Lord, to our family, and also to the frontliners.

Before leading us for today's opening worship, Kuya James shared the story of Timothy. He stated that even though he was raised without a father, he did not feel that his life was incomplete. That something was lacking. He later related it in today's situation, where we are in the middle of battling a pandemic. He reminded us to be grateful in this crazy time. To feel that we are blessed and to let others feel it too.

In today's technology, social media is the most convenient medium of information dissemination. It serves as a gateway for a better connection to our brothers and sisters in the community and outside. This new image of YFC social media features modified strategies and standardized plans for evangelization, thus, it gives us more efficient ways to reach people. The linkage between the Couple for Christ-Youth for Christ's main page down to every respective local area pages is promoting unity for the betterment of the mission. Follow us and let us bring Christ in this world of keyboard warriors!
