    Mabuting Balita l Enero 6, 2024 – Sabado

     

    Ebanghelyo: Mk 1:7-11

    Ito ang sinabi ni Juan Bautista sa kanyang pangaral: “Parating

    na kasunod ko ang gagawa nang higit pa sa akin.  Hindi nga ako karapat-dapat yumuko para magkalag ng tali ng kanyang
    panyapak.  Sa tubig ko kayo bininyagan, at sa Espiritu Santo naman niya kayo bibinyagan.” Nang panahong iyon, dumating
    si Hesus mula sa Nazaret ng Galilea at bininyagan siya ni Juan sa Ilog Jordan.  At pagkaahon niya sa tubig, nakita niyang nahawi ang Langit at parang kalapating bumababa sa kanya ang Espiritu ng Diyos.  At narinig mula sa Langit: “Ikaw ang Aking Anak, ang Minamahal, ikaw ang aking Hinirang.”

     

    Pagninilay:

    Wala na marahil liligaya pa sa isang tao, na sa harap ng publiko ay ipinagmalaki siya ng kanyang magulang, Tatay o Nanay. Ang relative ko sa Muñoz Nueva Ecija, si Dra. Jamielyn Santos ay bago lang nakapasa sa medical board exam. Sa paglilibot namin sa

    bayan ng Muñoz, nakita namin ang kanyang malaking tarpaulin sa bayan. Patunay lang ito na ipinagmamalaki siya ng buong pamilya.   Ito rin sa tingin ko, ang saloobin ng Diyos Ama noong winika Niya “Ikaw ang aking minamahal na Anak, na lubha kong kinalulugdan.” Batid natin na ang pagpapabinyag ni Hesus kay Juan Bautista ang simula at hudyat ng kanyang misyon dito sa lupa. Pagpapatunay din ito, na Siya ay Anak ng Diyos. Sa
    pagbibinyag, itinulad ni Hesus ang kanyang sarili sa ating lahat na
    makasalanan, sa kabila na Siya ay walang kasalanan. Sinabi ni Juan Bautista sa simula ng pagbasa, na siya ay nagbibinyag sa tubig, pero si Hesus na Anak ng Diyos ay magbibinyag sa Espiritu Santo.  Mga kapanalig, pahalagahan natin ang sakramento ng binyag dahil sa pamamagitan nito, nakikibahagi tayo sa pagkahari, pagkapari at pagkapropeta ni Hesus. Sa binyag tayo ay maituturing na mga inampong anak ng Diyos Ama. Amen.

  • Walking with the Saints l Feast Day of St. Raymund of Penyafort, Patron Saint of Canonists and Lawyers l January 6

    Walking with the Saints l Feast Day of St. Raymund of Penyafort, Patron Saint of Canonists and Lawyers l January 6



    In today’s modern world, there is a joke saying that lawyers do not go to heaven. But the truth is, there are several saints who studied law and used their knowledge in working for the Church, helping people know God and give justice to their fellowmen. Our saint for today, St. Raymund of Penyafort, was a canon and civil lawyer from Spain, and a relative of the King of Aragon. He was born in a castle in Penyafort, Barcelona in 1175. Brought up as a devout Catholic, he had a tender love and devotion to the Virgin Mother of God. He was a model of humility, patience and fervor. He studied law and at age 20, was a famous teacher and lawyer. But he gave up his promising career and entered the Dominican Order in 1222 at the age of forty-seven. Even as a religious he was very prayerful, did much penance, was so humble and kind that he won many pagans and sinners to God. Due to Raymund’s reputation in the juridical sciences, Gregory IX called him to Rome in 1230 to help in collecting, codifying and arranging the canon law. This collection called “Decretals of Gregory IX” became the standard for the Church for 700 years until it was finally codified in 1917 as the Code of Canon Law. Raymund continued to write and he produced books on confession and marriage. Because of his knowledge about confesion and penitential discipline, he became the Pope’s confessor. Raymund was appointed as the Bishop of Tarragona, Aragon, but being so detached from worldly honors, he was so overwhelmed by his post that he got sick and resigned his post after two years. Upon returning, he was made the Third General of his Order. Concerned about the situation of the Moors, he founded together with St. Peter Nolasco and the King of Aragon the Institute of Our

    Lady of Ransom to help the persecuted Moors and convert them to Christianity. He also encouraged St. Thomas Aquinas to write his book entitled “Against the Gentiles.” He instituted the teaching of Arabic and Hebrew to help the Jews and Muslims in their study about Christianity. Raymund was commissioned to preach against the holy war of the Mohammedans by the Cardinal Legate of Pope Gregory IX. With so much prudence, zeal and charity, the Christians were able to overthrow them in Spain. Then, he led the Christians to make penance as they had been enslaved body and soul to follow Mohammedan practices. Raymund accomplished many other works but our limited space cannot afford to mention
    them all.   Once, he went with King James of Aragon to preach in Majorca. The King had a strong passion for women so, women came often to their lodging. Raymund asked the king to send away those women since they were obstacles to their mission. The king promised and promised but did not honor his words. Raymund then decided to leave the island on his own. Angered by this decision, the King warned everyone that any boat or anyone who would bring Raymund back to Barcelona would be punished. But Raymund was so decided that he went to the sea by himself, spread his cloak upon the water, tied up a corner of the cloak to a stick as sail, made the Sign of the Cross and stepped on the cloak and sailed safely for six long hours, the winds bringing him back to Barcelona. The miracle converted the King and he repented
    of his misbehaviors and became a true follower of Raymund.

    Raymund died at the age of 100 in Barcelona on January 6, 1275. He was buried in the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia in Barcelona, and was canonized by Pope Clement VIII in 1601. Raymund is widely known for his learning and holiness. H He is the patron of canonists and lawyers and his feast day is celebrated on January 6.

    Virtue: humility, piety, great faith, honesty, courage,

    Prayer: “St. Raymund, pray for civil lawyers that they may follow their conscience in handling legal issues.”

    Mabuting Balita l Enero 5, 2024 – Biyernes

    Ebanghelyo: Juan 1:43-51

    Natagpuan ni Felipe si Natanael at sinabi nito sa kanya: “Ang tinutukoy ni Moises na nakasulat sa Batas at Mga Propeta, siya ang natagpuan namin – si Hesus na anak ni Jose, na taga Nazaret.” “May mabuti bang galing sa Nazaret?” “Halika’t tingnan mo.” Nakita ni Hesus na palapit sa kanya si Natanael at sinabi niya tungkol sa kanya: “Hayan ang tunay na Israelitang walang pagkukunwari.” “Paano mo ako nakilala?” “Bago ka pa man

    tawagin ni Felipe, habang nasa ilalim ka ng puno ng igos, nakita na kita.” “Rabbi, ikaw ang Anak ng Diyos, ikaw ang Hari ng Israel.” “Sinabi ko lang sa iyong nakita kita sa ilalim ng puno ng igos, at naniniwala ka na? Higit pa sa mga ito ang makikita mo. Talagang sinasabi ko sa inyo, makikita ninyong nakabukas ang Langit at panhik-panaog sa Anak ng Tao ang mga anghel ng Diyos.”

     

    Pagninilay:

    Nazaret? May magaling bang bagay na manggagaling doon?

    Aminin man natin o hindi, ang ilan sa atin ay may mga biases o

    pagkiling sa ating pakikitungo sa kapwa. May mga pinapaboran tayo, meron din namang ayaw talaga natin sa isang tao.  Kahit sinisikap nating maging pantay-pantay sa pakikitungo sa bawat isa, lalabas at lalabas pa rin ang pag uugali nating may pagkiling o pagtatangi sa iilan.  Kapanalig, kung meron man tayong mga pagkiling o biases, sa ating pakikitungo sa ating kapwa, sikapin
    nating huwag itong pairalin, upang huwag humantong sa pagkakawatak-watak at diskriminasyon laban sa iba. Sinasabi nga sa sulat ni Santiago, “Mga kapatid ko, kung may pananampalataya kayo sa maluwalhati nating Panginoong Hesukristo, huwag sana
    kayong magtatangi sa mga tao. Ang pagkiling o pagtatangi ay isang malubhang kasalanan. Hindi ito inaayunan ng Diyos. Tinuturuan din tayo ni Apostol Santiago, na ibigin natin ang ating kapwa gaya ng pag ibig natin sa ating sarili. Sinasabi din nya sa kanyang sulat: “kung nagtatangi-tangi kayo, nagkakasala kayo at nahatulan na, sa inyong paglabag sa batas”.   Mga kapanalig, matuto nawa tayong tumingin sa iba, kung papaano sila tinitingnan ng Diyos. At tingnan ang mga pangyayari sa ating buhay, sa lente o paraan ng pagtingin ng Diyos. Umpisahan natin ito sa ating mga puso. Let us confess our sins of prejudice and biases. Hilingin natin ang tulong ng Diyos, na pagkalooban tayo ng Kanyang mata upang makita ang ating kapwa, gaya nang
    pagtingin Niya sa kanila.  At gamitin nawa tayo ng Diyos upang tulungan ang ating kapwa na makipagkasundo sa isa’t isa, lalo’t higit, makipagkasundo sa Diyos.  Amen.

    Mabuting Balita l Enero 4, 2024 - Huwebes

    Santa Elisabet ana Seton

    Ebanghelyo: Juan 1:35-42

    Naroon [sa Betaraba, sa kabilang ibayo ng Jordan] si Juan at dalawa sa kanyang mga alagad. Pagkakita niya kay Hesus na

    naglalakad, ito ang kanyang sinabi: “Hayan ang Kordero ng Diyos.” At narinig ng dalawang alagad ang kanyang binigkas at sinundan nila si Hesus. Lumingon si Hesus at nakita niya silang sumusunod sa kanya, at sinabi niya sa kanila: “Ano ang
    hinahanap ninyo?” “Rabbi, saan ka nakatira?” “Halikayo at makikita ninyo.” At pumaroon sila at nakita nila kung saan siya tumutuloy, at maghapon silang nanuluyan sa kanya. Mag-iikaapat ng hapon ang oras noon. Si Andres na kapatid ni Simon
    Pedro ay isa sa dalawang nakarinig kay Juan at sumunod sa kanya. Una niyang hinanap ang kapatid niyang si Simon at sinabi sa kanya: “Natagpuan namin ang Mesiyas.” Inihatid niya siya kay Hesus. Pagkakita sa kanya ni Hesus, sinabi niya: “Si Simon ka na anak ni Juan. Kefas ang itatawag sa iyo.”

     

     Pagninilay:

    Sa ating liturhiya, tuwing pumapasok tayo sa bagong taon, ang ating mga pagbasa ay tungkol sa pagpapala ng Diyos. Noong January 1, ang ganda pong alalahanin ang salmong tugunan na nagsasabing: “Nawa’y kahabagan tayo ng Diyos, at pagpalain

    kailanman…” Pero ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng pagpalain o pagpapala? Simple lamang po, ang ating pagiging laging bukas at tugon sa paggabay ng Diyos sa ating buhay. Kaya nga’t sa lahat ng mabuting nangyayari, salamat sa Diyos! Kung mayroon mang mabibigat, salamat pa din sa Diyos, dahil alam nating nariyan siya’t (Emmanuel) gumagabay palagi. Sa ating Mabuting
    Balita ayon kay San Juan, napakagandang pakinggan ang mga unang salita ni Hesus —“ano ba ang inyong hinahanap?” tumugon ang mga alagad, “Saan ho ba kayo nananahan?” sumagot si Hesus—”Halikayo’t inyong makikita.” Alam niyo po, nagtungo sila at sinamahan si Hesus, nang isang buong araw!   Mga kapanalig, pagpapala, pagsunod, pagkilala. Ngayong bagong taon,
    sana patuloy tayong mamuhay bilang taong pinagpala ng Diyos.  Ibig sabihin, mga taong ang hangad lagi ay manahan
    kasama ang Diyos.  Pagsunod, ngayong taon sikapin nating sundan ang Panginoon. Pagkilala, sana wala na tayong iba pang sambahin at kilalanin kundi si Hesus.  Hindi naman perpekto si
    Pedro, bilang alagad at apostol ni Hesus, pero binigyan siya ng
    pangalan ni Hesus, Cephas, bato. Hindi batong maliit, batong sandigan at pundasyon. Ang ibig sabihin pa sa wikang ingles…reliable, stable, and resolute. Isang patunay na kung patuloy tayong mananahan sa piling ng Diyos, higit na pagpapalain ka niya; kikilalanin ka niya bilang alagad at anak niyang
    natatangi sa Kanyang puso. Amen.

    Mabuting Balita l Enero 3, 2024 – Miyerkulis

    Kabanal-banalang Ngalan ng ating Panginoong Hesus

    Ebanghelyo: Juan 1:29-34

    Nakita ni Juan Bautista si Hesus na papalapit sa kanya. Sinabi niya: “Hayan ang Kordero ng Diyos, ang nag-aalis ng kasalanan ng mundo. Ito ang tinutukoy ko nang sabihin kong ‘Nagpauna na sa akin ang lalaking kasunod kong dumating sapagkat bago ako’y siya na.’ Hindi ko nga siya nakilala pero dahil sa kanya kaya ako

    pumaritong nagbibinyag sa tubig upang mahayag siya sa Israel.” At nagpatotoo si Juan: “Nakita ang Espiritu na bumababa mula sa langit gaya ng isang kalapati, at nanatili sa kanya. Hindi ko nga siya nakilala ngunit ang nagsugo sa akin na magbinyang sa tubig ang nagwika sa akin, ‘Kung kanino mo makita ang Espiritung
    bumababa at nananatili sa kanya, siya ang magbibigay sa Espiritu Santo!’ Nakita ko at pinatotohanan ko na siya nga ang hinirang ng Diyos.”

     

    Pagninilay:

    Sa pagbibinyag ni Juan Bautista, noon din nabiyayaan siya na

    masaksihan ang hiwaga ng pagkatao ng kanyang binibinyagan. Siya si Hesus na ang kahulugan ay “Ang Diyos ay Tagapagligtas”. Sa mismong pag-submit ng ating Panginoong Hesus sa tubig, habang bumababa ang Banal na Espiritu, tulad ng kalapati, ipinahiwatig ang pagliligtas Niya sa atin. It is a manifestation of
    his “self-emptying”.  Who humbled himself and became obedient to death—sa pamamagitan ng Krus. Ito ang nagaganap sa Sakramento ng Binyag. Ayon kay San Pablo Apostol, ang sinumang binibinyagan, nakikiisa, sa kamatayan ni Kristo,
    nalilibing at nabubuhay kasama Niya. Ito ang panibagong buhay na inihahandog sa atin. Nangangahulugan na nililinis, pinapawalang-sala at pinagiging banal tayo, sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu ng ating Poong si Hesus. Kaya mapalad tayo
    sa pagiging binyagan. (Ipinapakita ang baptismal certificate) Itinatago nyo rin ba ang inyong baptismal certificate? Ito ang dokumento na itinatak sa ating kaluluwa at diwa, si Hesus bilang ating Kaligtasan. Nakatala ang ating pangalan, kung sino ang ating mga magulang, kung kailan tayo isinilang, kailan tayo bininyagan, kung sino ang nagbinyag sa atin at ang ating mga ninong at ninang.  Ikatlong araw na ngayon ng Year 2024, maging bahagi sana ng ating New Year’s resolution, na ipalinis sa ating Panginoong Hesus ang nadungisan nating balabal ng kawalang-sala noong bininyagan tayo. Humingi tayo ng tawad, sa malimit nating pag-violate sa ating sacred baptismal promises. At sana,
    gawin nating best time of the day ang pagtanaw sa talukap ng mata ng bagong araw. Habang sinusundan natin nang tanaw ang pagtaas ng araw, pinupuri natin si Hesus na nagbuwal sa dilim ng gabi ng pagkakaalipin natin sa pagkakasala. Moment din ito, hindi lang ng pagbabago kundi ng pagiging instrumento ng pagbabago. Taas noo nating ipamalas ang tunay na pagiging ligtas. Ngayon, bukas, at sa buong taon.

  • Walking with the Saints l Feast Day of St. Genevieve, Patron Saint of Paris l January 3

    Walking with the Saints l Feast Day of St. Genevieve, Patron Saint  of Paris l January 3


    In the study of history, you must have heard of Attila the Hun. He was one of the fiercest barbarian rulers who pillaged cities, invaded Greece, Italy, France and other European countries. Our saint for today, Saint Genevieve, is known to have saved Paris from being sacked by Attila. Genevieve was born in Naterre, France in 422 of a pious peasant couple. She was

    brought up in the love and fear of God and she practiced many charitable works, did much prayer and penance. When the holy Bishop St. Germanus visited her place, many people came to him to ask for his blessing. Among them was the 15-year-old Genevieve. Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Bishop sensed the holy
    life of Genevieve and singled her out by prophesying about her future sanctity. He led her to the church, accompanied by many parishioners, and consecrated her to God. He presented her with a cross engraved brass medal to be worn around her neck, as a reminder of the consecration she made of herself to God. He ordered her to never wear any other bracelets, necklaces or jewelry, to avoid falling into vanity. Although not officially recognized as a religious group, the Bishop entrusted to Genevieve the care of young girls to teach them how to love God, to pray and to preserve purity. Genevieve faithfully led the young virgins to holiness and to a greater love for Jesus. After the death of her parents, Genevieve went on to live with her grandmother in Paris. She shared the faith to others, performed acts of charity, prayed for the sick. Her dedicated Christian way of life was filled with the signs of the Holy Spirit working through her and she was given the gift of prophesy. The signs included miracles and spiritually inspired predictions. She frequently had visions of
    heavenly angels and saints. However, when she shared those visions and experiences of the Lord, people began to turn against her. They called her a hypocrite and accused her of being a false visionary. In fact, they were determined to drown her in a lake of fire. However,  Bishop Germanus intervened and silenced those
    who were persecuting her and accusing her  falsely. Genevieve received divine guidance. When Attila and his army of Huns came upon Paris, the Parisian Christians were prepared to leave their homes, and escape to another place, but Genevieve spoke to them and convinced them to stay, within their homes, fast
    and pray to the Lord. She assured them they would have the protection of Heaven. Her prediction came true as Attila suddenly changed his path and turned away from Paris. When Clovis became king of Gaul  (then composed of France, part of Belgium and Germany), and was converted to Christianity, Genevieve had a great influence on him through his holy wife St. Clothilda. Genevieve was the one who suggested to him to build a church in honor of Sts. Peter and Paul in Paris. After a life pf prayer, austerity and service Genevieve died in 512. Many miracles happened near her tomb, and she was acclaimed a saint. Her body was later interred in the church which was built in honor of
    Sts. Peter and Paul and the church was named after her. Her intercessions were so great. Once, she saved the city from a great flood. She cured the small pox of a king in Gaul. A plague broke out in Paris and some 14, 000 died in a short time. After prayers and a procession in her honor, only three persons died of the disease. During the French Revolution, the church was taken over by the Revolutionists and given the name Pantheon, to serve as burial place for distinguished Frenchmen. Besides being the patron of Paris, France, she is also the patron for young girls. She is particularly invoked in time of drought, flood, illnesses, fire and other disasters. Her feast day is January 3.

    Prayer: “St. Genevieve, you pleased God with your holy life, intercede for us that we may imitate your virtuous life.”
