Walking with the Saints Podcast | Feast of St. Conrad of Piacenza, Patronage for the cure of hernias | February 19

Do we have the courage to publicly accept our guilt especially when someone else other than us had already been judged as the culprit? Not many of us can do that and we admit that it is truly heroic. Well, we shall hear an example today in our saint, St. Conrad of Piacenza. St. Conrad, an Italian penitent and hermit, was born Corrado Confalonieri, in 1290 from one of the noblest families of Piacenza, in the town of Calendasco, Italy. As a young man, he married an aristocratic woman and led a happy life. One day, while he was in his usual pastime of hunting within his family property, he ordered his attendants to set fire to some brushwood where the animals had hidden. The wind caused the flames to spread rapidly to the neighboring forests. A peasant who was near when the fire started was accused of having caused the fire. He was imprisoned, tortured and condemned to death. Conrad, was remorseful for what happened and admitted his guilt to the government of the city. As punishment, the city took all his assets but spared him from death due to his noble status. Conrad and his wife saw the hand of God in this event and agreed to separate in 1315. Conrad retired to a hermitage, joining a community of hermits who were Franciscan tertiaries. His wife became a nun of the Order of St. Clare in their city. Soon Conrad became famous for his holiness. Visitors came to seek his advice and prayers. In 1340, he travelled to Rome, to the Holy Land, to Malta, and to Palermo. Sicily. After a few years, he settled at Val di Noto, in a grotto named after him where he afterwards spent the rest of his life in prayer, penance, working miracles and giving prophecy. Three years later, he was inspired to serve the people directly and in 1343 went to the city of Netum to care for the sick in the Hospital of St. Martin, But he lived in a nearby hermitage. His fame for holiness was such that during a famine afflicting the island, the Bishop came to him to ask for his intercession and God answered his prayers. It is recorded that Conrad died kneeling before a crucifix, on February 19, 1351, the day he had predicted. Shortly after his death, miracles followed and the Bishop of Syracuse was asked by the people to begin the process of his beatification. Bishop Dalmazio Gabriele, O.P., who himself witnessed the “Miracle of the Bread” opened the process. As part of the process, Conrad’s body was exhumed and was found to be incorrupt. It was placed in a silver urn for public veneration. Pope Leo X beatified Conrad on July 12, 1515. He was canonized on June 2, 1625 by Pope Urban VIII. St. Conrad is invoked for the cure of hernia, a gap in the muscular wall that makes the contents in the abdomen protrude outward. But the miracle for which Conrad is best known even while he was still alive was the “Miracle of the Bread.” During the famine in Sicily which was a result of the bubonic plague in 1348-1349, people would come to Conrad to ask for food. He gave them a loaf of warm bread, which he said, he received from the angels.

Virtue: piety, humility, integrity, fidelity, charity, chastity, temperance, courage and honesty.

 Prayer: “St. Conrad, help us to imitate you in being honest to take upon ourselves our own faults and sins.”

Reflection: Do I accept any fault I have committed or blame it to someone else?

Ikapitong Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Ebanghelyo: Mt 5:38–48

Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad: Narinig na ninyo na sinabi: 'Mata sa mata at ngipin sa ngipin.' Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo: Huwag ninyong labanan ng masama ang masama. Kung sampalin ka sa kanang pisngi, ibaling ang mukha at ibaling ang kabilang pisngi. Kung may magdemanda sa iyo para kunin ang iyong sando, ibigay mo pati ang iyong kamiseta. Kung may pumilit sa iyong sumama sa kanya ng isang kilometro, dalawang kilometro ang lakarin mong kasama niya. Bigyan ang nanghihingi at huwag talikuran ang may hinihiram sa iyo. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad: “Narinig na ninyo na sinabi 'Mahalin mo ang iyong kapwa at kamuhian ang iyong kaaway. ' Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo: Mahalin n'yo ang inyong kaaway, at ipagdasal ang mga umuusig sa inyo. Sa ganito kayo magiging mga anak ng inyong Amang nasa Langit.” Sapagkat pinasisikat niya ang araw sa kapwa masama at mabuti, at pinapapatak ang ulan sa kapwa makatarungan at di makatarungan. Kung mahal n’yo ang nagmamahal sa inyo, ano ang gantimpala n’yo? Di ba’t ginagawa rin ito ng mga pagano? Kaya maging ganap kayo gaya ng pagiging ganap ng inyong Amang nasa Langit.

Pagninilay:

“Batas ng talion” o Lex Tallionis—ito po ang tawag sa batas na sinasabi ng ating Panginoong Hesus sa unang bahagi ng ating Mabuting Balita. Ibig ng batas na ito na kung ano ang ginawang mali ng isang tao, marapat din na magawa ito sa kanya. Mata sa mata, ngipin sa ngipin! Sa Mabuting Balita ngayon, taliwas ang turo ni Hesus sa batas ng tallion na kanyang itinuro…Sinasabi ng ating Panginoong Hesus, go beyond it! Imbes na mag demand ka ng patas, bakit di natin i-try magmahal? Sa totoo lamang po, mahirap magmahal ng mga taong hindi kamahal-mahal. Sabi ng yumaong Papa Emerito Benedict XVI: ang panawagan na ito ng Diyos, bagamat mahirap, ay ang pina-realistic gawin. Kung patuloy lang ang dahas, doon lamang tayo iikot, mas marami lang ang gulo at away. Pero, kung sisimulan nating magmahal, mas maraming uunawa’t iintindi, mas payapa, mas maraming iibig din. Mga kapanalig, sa tuwing nasa harap tayo ng sitwasyong mabilis umisip at gumawa ng dahas, tumigil sumandali, tanungin ang sarili…kaya ko bang umintindi at mas magmahal? Amen.

Manalangin tayo:

Panginoon, sa tuwing inuusig kami, inaaway kami, nilalabanan kami, sana po mas piliin naming umintindi, umunawa—baka kami ang mali. At kung ang katotohanan at kabutihan ang kinatatayuan namin, huwag sana naming piliing maging mayabang, turuan mo kaming umintindi…turuan mo kaming mas magmahal. Amen

Call to Love in Marriage Vocation | Word and Songs Podcast with Sr. Lines Salazar, fsp

When the Catholic Church teaches that marriage is a Christian vocation it is saying that the couple’s relationship is more than simply their choice to enter a union which is a social and legal institution. In addition to these things, marriage involves a call from God and a response from two people who promise to build, with the help of divine grace, a lifelong, intimate, and sacramental partnership of love and life. In Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis writes:  Marriage is a vocation, inasmuch as it is a response to a specific call to experience conjugal love as an imperfect sign of the love between Christ and the Church. Consequently, the decision to marry and to have a family ought to be the fruit of a process of vocational discernment. 

The call to love which is central to marriage as a sacrament is also the heart of marriage as a vocation. We sometimes think of a Christian vocation as the call to a particular lifestyle such as priesthood, religious life, the married or single state. But these are all just different ways of living out the one Christian vocation, the Call to love. Married people are challenged to love one another in the spirit of Christ, thus living the great commandment especially well. Marriage is a call to love one particular imperfect human being as Christ loves him or her. Such love requires several Christian virtues. Among the most important are faithfulness, forgiveness, and a commitment to growth.

The call to love within Christian marriage necessarily involves a commitment to growth. Fidelity is not simply staying with someone. It includes a willingness to grow and to be with our partner as he or she grows. A marriage and both partners in the marriage go through many stages during the course of a lifetime. It is even possible to say that within every marriage there are several marriages that succeed one another over time: laying the foundations, having children, establishing careers, emptying the nest, adjusting to retirement, and facing death.  Each of these changes draws the married couple into the process of death and resurrection. They must always be letting go of past ways of being and doing — perhaps letting go even of a dream for the marriage — and open to new realities in the relationship. The practice of love necessarily brings Christians into the paschal mystery of Christ. In light of this mystery, a couple can come to view the discomfort of change as an invitation and opportunity, forcing them out of old patterns into new life.

Commitment to growth includes a willingness to deal with differences in a marriage. Those who marry are unique individuals; when they live in a close relationship, conflict is inevitable. Whether differences center on furniture arrangements in the living room, money management, or the selection of a vacation spot, they provide one of the principal occasions for gift-giving in a marriage. Differences frequently require compromise, a letting go which is the path to greater unity. When couples approach differences in a spirit of Christian love, these differences can lead to greater understanding, trust, and closeness. On the way, however, I may be asked to lay down my life for my friend.

Marriage is a challenging vocation. Perhaps more than ever before, married couples need the support of a Christian community to live out their call to holiness.  Marriage is a sacrament of faith. Prayer and the Christian sacraments enable couples to keep this faith vision of marriage alive. The Christian community holds before husband and wife the gospel challenge to love, forgiveness, and faithfulness. It also strengthens individuals to live a life that calls for a constant battle with selfishness and discouragement.

Ikaanim na Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Ebanghelyo: Mk 9:2-13

Isinama ni Hesus si Pedro, si Santiago at si Juan, at sila ay dinalang bukod sa isang mataas na bundok. At siya ay nagbagong anyo sa harap nila at nagningning ang kanyang mga damit at pumuting tulad ng busilak na di mapapantayan sa puti ng sinumang manlalaba sa lupa. Napakita sa kanila si Elias at si Moises at ang dalawang ito ay nakipag-usap kay Hesus. Noon ay nagsalita si Pedro kay Hesus na ang wika: “Guro, mabuti dito na tayo. Gagawa kami ng tatlong tirahan: isa sa iyo, isa kay Moises, at isa kay Elias.” Sapagkat hindi n’ya nalalaman ang kanyang mga sinasabi dahil sa malaking pagkatakot. At dumating ang isang ulap na lumilim sa kanila. At sa ulap ay may nagsalita: “Ito ang Minamahal kong Anak, pakinggan ninyo siya.” Kapagdaka’y lumingon sila sa paligid at wala silang nakitang sinuman kundi si Hesus lamang. Habang bumababa sila sa bundok, ay winika ni Hesus sa kanila na huwag sasabihin kaninuman ang mga bagay na kanilang nakita hanggang hindi nabubuhay na mag-uli ang Anak ng Tao. Iningatan nila ang mga bagay na yaon sa kanilang sarili at sila-sila’y nagtatanungan kung anong ibig sabihin ng mabuhay na mag-uli. Kaya nagtanong sila sa kanya: “Bakit sinasabi ng mga Eskriba na kailangang dumating muna si Elias? “Oo. Si Elias ay kailangang dumating muna upang muling isaayos ang lahat ng bagay. Samantala, bakit nakasulat na ang Anak ng Tao ay dapat magtiis ng maraming hirap at lalapastanganin?  Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo na dumating na si Elias at ginawa na sa kanya ang kanilang maibigan ayon sa nakasulat tungkol sa kanya.”

Pagninilay:

Narinig natin sa ebanghelyo, na nakita nina Pedro sina Elias at Moises na nakikipag-usap kay Jesus. At kahit na si Jesus lamang ang talagang nagniningning, tig-iisang tolda ang balak gawin ni Pedro para sa kanilang tatlo: isa para kay Jesus, isa para kay Elias at isa para kay Moises. At noon nagsalita ang tinig na nagsabing si Jesus ang Anak na minamahal ng Ama, at Siya ang pakinggan nila. Mga kapatid, popular sa ating mga Filipinong katoliko ang pagdedebosyon. Kaya may mga panata tayong sumasayaw sa prusisyon ng Sto. Nino, o sumama sa traslacion ng Poong Nazareno o lumakad ng paluhod sa simbahan, o magnobena hindi lang siyam na araw kundi habambuhay. Bukod dito, kung saan-saan pa rin tayo nagpupunta para makita o marinig ang kung sinu-sinong popular na tagapagsalita. Pero, isa lamang ang sinasabi sa atin ng tinig ng Ama: pakinggan natin si Jesus, at hindi si Moises o si Elias, hindi ang ating nobena at pagdedebosyon o anumang kaugalian kundi tanging si Jesus lamang. Mga kapatid, sikapin nating marinig lagi ang salita ni Jesus sa Ebanghelyo.

Ikaanim na Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Ebanghelyo: Mk 8:34-9,1

Tinawag ni Hesus ang makapal na tao pati ang kanyang mga alagad at winika sa kanila: ”Ang sinumang ibig sumunod sa akin, ay itakwil ang sarili pasanin ang kanyang krus at sumunod sa akin. Sapagkat ang sinumang ibig magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, ngunit ang sinumang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang – alang sa akin at sa Ebanghelyo ay magkakamit nito. Sapagkat ano ang mapapala ng tao makamtan man niya ang buong daigdig kung mapapahamak naman ang kanyang kaluluwa. At ano naman ang maipapalit ng ato sa kanyang kaluluwa. Sapagkat ang sinumang magtatwa sa akin at sa aking mga salita sa lahing ito na nakikiapid at makasalanan ay itatatwa din ng anak ng tao. Pagdating niya sa kaluwalhatian ng kanyang ama, na kasama ang mga Banal na Anghel.” At winika niya sa kanila: ”Tunay na sinasabi ko sa inyo na may ilan sa mga nakatayo rito na di magdaranas ng kamatayan hanggang di nakikita ang pagdating ng kaharian ng Diyos na puspos ng Kapangyarihan.”

Pagninilay:

Napapanahon ang mensahe sa atin ng Ebanghelyo ngayon. Lalo na sa kulturang pinangingibabawan ng materyalismo, komersyalismo at hedonismo, na kadalasan nagsasantabi sa Diyos at sa ating pananampalataya. Maraming tao ang abala sa pagpapayaman at pagkamit ng mga ari-arian; marami din ang walang humpay sa pag-aaral para magpakadalubhasa sa iba’t ibang larangan; at marami ang naghahangad ng tagumpay, kapangyarihan at popularidad. Kaya nga pinapaalalahanan tayo ng Ebanghelyo ngayon na tanungin ang ating sarili: Ano nga ba ang pakinabang ng tao makamtan man niya ang yaman, kapangyarihan, katanyagan na pinapahalagahan ng buong daigdig – kung sarili naman niya ang mawawala. Maraming tao ang ipinagpapalit ang kanilang kaluluwa, mabubuting prinsipyo at pinapahalagahan, maging ang kanilang moralidad – makasabay lamang sa kalakaran ng lipunan. Marami ang nagpayaman sa di-makatarungan at makataong pamamaraan. Marami din ang sumasang-ayon sa sistema ng korupsyon na talamak pa rin sa kasalukuyan. Mga kapatid, aanhin natin ang yamang makakamit sa masasamang gawaing ito, kung mapapahamak naman ang ating kaluluwa sa impiyerno? Manalangin tayo: Panginoon, pagkaloobang Mo po ako ng karunungang makita kung ano ang tunay na mahalaga sa mundong ito. Pagsumikapan ko nawa itong makamit sa bawat araw na pinapahiram Mo sa akin. Amen.

Ikaanim na Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

Ebanghelyo: Mk. 8:27-33

Pumunta si Hesus kasama ang kanyang mga alagad sa mga nayon ng Cesarea ni Filipo. At habang nasa daa’y tinanong niya ang kanyang mga alagad: “Sino raw ako ayon sa mga tao?” Sumagot sila: “May nagsasabing si Juan Bautista ka; may iba pang nagsasabing si Elias ka o isa sa Mga Propeta kaya.” At tinanong niya sila: “Ngunit ano naman ang sinasabi ninyo kung sino ako?” At sumagot si Pedro: “Ikaw ang Mesiyas.” At inutusan niya sila na huwag sabihin kaninuman ang tungkol sa kanya. At sinimulan niyang ituro sa kanila na kailangang magtiis ng marami ang Anak ng Tao. Itatakwil nga siya ng mga Matatanda ng bayan, ng mga Punong-pari at ng mga guro ng Batas. Papatayin siya at muling babangon pagkatapos ng tatlong araw. At buong tapang siyang nagsalita. Dinala naman siya ni Pedro sa isang tabi at sinimulan siyang pagsabihan. Ngunit pagtalikod ni Hesus, nakita niya na naroon din ang kanyang mga alagad. Kaya pinagsabihan si Pedro: “Sa likod ko, Satanas! Hindi sa Diyos galing ang iniisip mo Kundi mula sa tao

Pagninilay:

Mahalaga sa isang mananampalataya na kilalaning mabuti ang Diyos na kanyang pinaniniwalaan. Mangangailangan ito ng pag-aaral tulad ng pagbabasa ng Biblia. Malaking tulong din ang ating patuloy na pananalangin araw-araw. Sa pamamagitan ng panalangin, lalago ang ating personal na relasyon sa Diyos. Bigyan natin ng panahon ang ating sarili, na usisain, kung ano ang ating pagkakilala kay Hesus. Kung tatanungin tayo ng ibang tao kung sino si Hesus, paano natin sila sasagutin? Sa Mabuting Balita ngayon, narinig nating sinabi ni Hesus kay Pedro, “Lumayo ka Satanas! Ang iniisip mo’y hindi sa Diyos kundi sa tao”. Tinawag ni Hesus si Pedro na Satanas, bakit po kaya? Dahil ang iniisip ni Pedro, ay taliwas sa plano ng Diyos. Maaaring karanasan din po natin, na may mga pagkakataon sa buhay natin na hindi natin matanggap, dahil tayo’y nahirapan. Pero, kung bukas tayo sa mga biyaya ng Diyos, makikita natin na madalas, nagiging higit na malakas at matatag tayo sa buhay, dahil sa mga pagsubok at paghihirap na ating nalampasan sa tulong at awa ng Diyos. Hindi pa po lubos na ligtas ang ating bansa sa banta ng pandemya. Medyo maluwag na po tayo ngayon, pero kung babalikan natin ang mga panahon ng ating paghihirap, masasabi ba natin, na salamat sa Diyos, dahil sa kabila ng lahat, tayo ay narito pa rin at ligtas? Sa mga nawalan ng mahal sa buhay sa panahon ng pandemya, ipinaaabot ko po ang aking pakikiramay. Amen.
