    Mabuting Balita l Agosto 21, 2023 – Lunes

    Lunes sa Ika-20 Linggo ng Karaniwang Panahon

    San Pio X, papa



    Ebanghelyo: Mt 19:16-22

     Lumapit kay Hesus ang isang binata at nagtanong: “Guro, anong mabuti ang dapat kong gawin para makamit ang buhay nawalang hanggan?” “Bakit tungkol sa mabuti ang tanong mo? Iisa lang ang Mabuti.

    Kung gusto mong pumasok sa buhay na walang hanggan, sundin mo ang mga utos.”  “Anong mga utos?” “Huwag papatay,
    huwag makiapid, huwag magnakaw, huwag manirang-puri ng kapwa, igalang ang iyong ama at ina at mahalin ang iyong kapwa gaya ng pagmamahal mo sa iyong sarili.’” “Sinunod ko ang lahat ng ito, ano pa ang kulang ko?” “Kung gusto mo maging ganap, umuwi ka’t ipagbili ang mga ari-arian mo at ibigay ang pera sa mga dukha, at magkakaroon ka ng kayamanan sa Langit. At saka ka bumalik para sumunod sa akin.” Pagkarinig ng binata sa pahayag na ito, umalis siyang malungkot
    sapagkat napakayaman niya.

    Pagninilay:

    Narinig nating sinabi ng Panginoong Hesus sa ebanghelyo: “Kung gusto mong maging ganap, ipagbili mo ang mga ari-arian mo at ibigay ang pera para sa mga dukha.  At saka ka bumalik para sumunod sa akin.”  Mga kapatid, hindi natin makakamtan angkaganapan at lubos na kasiyahan sa mga bagay na pag-aari natin.  Makamtan man natin pinakaaasam asam nating materyal na bagay, o makamit man natin ang rurok ng tagumpay – panandaliang saya lamang ang dulot nito sa atin. Sa paglipas ng mga araw, magsasawa din tayo sa materyal na bagay na ating nakamtan, at humuhupa na rin ang galak at siya ng tagumpay na ating tinamo.  Tunay na wala sa kayamanan, o tagumpay ang kaligayahan.  Panandalian lamang ang saya na ibinibigay sa atin ng mga ito, dahil tanging ang Diyos lamang ang tunay na makapupuno ng puwang sa ating puso.  Kapatid, gusto mo bang maging tunay na

    maligaya?  Ibahagi mo ang iyong kayamanan at sarili. Sundin mo ang mapagkalingang pagmamalasakit ng Panginoon sa mga dukha
    at masusulyapan mo ang ligayang ipinangako ni Kristo. 

     Manalangin

    tayo:  Panginoon, huwag ko nawang ihihilig ang aking
    puso sa mga bagay na materyal at panandalian lamang, kundi sa mga gawaing makakatulong upang magkamit ng espiritwal na yaman.  Basbasan Mo po ang aking mabubuting hangarin na maging daluyan ng Iyong biyaya at pagpapala sa aking kapwa, sa abot ng aking
    makakaya.  Amen.

    Mabuting Balita l Agosto 20, 2023 – Linggo

    Ika – 20 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

    Ebanghelyo: Mt 15:21-28

    Pumunta si Hesus sa gawing Tiro at Sidon.

    May isang babaeng Kananea noon na nagpunta sa dakong iyon at sumigaw: “Panginoon, anak ni David maawa ka sa akin! Pinahihirapan ng isang demonyo ang anak kong babae.” Ngunit hindi siya tinugon ni Hesus kaya lumapit ang kanyang mga alagad at hiniling ng mga ito. “Paalisin mo na siya’t sigaw s’ya nang sigaw sa likod natin.” “Sa nawawalang tupa ng bayan ng Israel ako sinugo.” Ngunit
    lumapit ang babae at lumuhod sa harap ni Hesus at sinabi: “Ginoo, tulungan mo ako!”   “Hindi tama na kunin ang tinapay
    sa mga bata at itapon ito sa mga tuta.” “Totoo nga, Ginoo, pero kinakain naman ng mga tuta ang mga nalalaglag mula sa hapag ng kanilang mga amo.” “Babae, napakalaki ng iyon pananalig! Maganap sa iyo ayon sa nais mo.” At nang oras ding iyon, gumaling ang kanyang anak.

     

    Pagninilay:

    Sa ating Mabuting Balita ngayon, napakinggan natin ang pagtatagpo ni Hesus at ng isang babaeng Canaanita.  Bagamat siya’y hindi Judio, ipinahayag ng babae ang kanyang pananampalataya kay

    Hesus, na nauwi sa paggaling ng kanyang anak. Ang kwentong ito ay paalala sa atin na ang Diyos ay hindi nagdi-discriminate batay sa lahi, uri, o katayuan sa lipunan. Ang kanyang biyaya at kaligtasan ay para sa lahat ng mga taong may pananalig at pagtitiwala sa kanya.  Mga kapanalig, napakahalaga ng pananalig at pagtitiwala na ipinakita ng babaeng Canaanita.  Inaanyayahan tayo ngayon na tumulad sa kanya.  Kailangan nating patatagin ang ating pananalig at pagtitiwala sa Diyos.  Kailan ba natin masasabing tayo ay nananalig?  Kailan ba natin masasabing tayo ay nagtitiwala? Nagpapakita tayo ng pananalig at pagtitiwala kapag sa kabila ng maraming pagsubok ay isinasalalay pa rin natin ang ating buhay sa kamay ng Diyos at sinasabi natin, “Hindi ako pababayaan ng Diyos!” “Hindi natutulog ang Diyos!”  Tandaan natin:  Ang pananalig
    at pagtitiwala ay hindi lamang pananampalataya ng puso.  Ang pananalig at pagtitiwala ay ang puso ng pananampalataya!  Amen.

    Walking with the Saints Podcast | Feast of  St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Patron Saint of the Cisterians  | August 20

     



    Our saint for today is St. Bernard of Clairvaux, the saint considered as the “Most influential Churchman of Europe in the 12th century” and one of the greatest spiritual masters of all times. Bernard was born of noble parentage at the Castle of Fontaines, near Dijon, Burgundy, France in

    1090. At age nine, he was sent to Chitillon for classical studies. A little
    later, he took up Theology and Holy Scripture. Tall, handsome, slender, with great charm and passion for learning, he was known for his remarkable piety and spirit of recollection. He was wealthy, intelligent, industrious and was very attractive to the world, but God had a special design for him and he chose to follow the voice of God calling him to a holier kind of life. After the death of his mother, Bernard was resolved to become a monk. At age 23, he persuaded his two uncles and five brothers, (his father would follow later), together with several friends to enter the austere community of the Cistercians at Citeaux, which at that time was a dying community on account of no vocations entering. Their entrance was the turning point of the monastery in Citaeux. Soon many others followed them. Three years after professing the vows, due to his great piety and fervor, Bernard was chosen with twelve other religious to open a new monastery in a place called the Valley of Bitterness because of its poor conditions. Bernard and his companions suffered hunger, cold, and the absence of many necessities of life. When people knew
    about them, relief soon came. The place would later be called Clara Vallis or Bright Valley, which evolved to be called Clairvaux. Bernard was chosen as Abbot of Clairvaux, a responsibility he held until his death.

    Soon Bernard and Clairvaux became famous because of his personality, his holy life, his beautiful style of writing, his eloquence in his sermons, and his wise counsellings that even Popes followed his advice. By defending the teachings of the Church he was involved in controversies, but he emerged victorious because he was on the right track. Bernard became adviser, not only to Popes, but also to kings, princes, and noblemen. He was a healer of schisms, reformer of a monastic Order, theologian, Scripture scholar, eloquent preacher, a mystic, mariologist and sublime devotee of the Blessed Virgin Mary, zealous defender of the Crusade.  He wrote poems and songs about Jesus and Mary. His “Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Jesus” is a favorite prayer to many. Due to his extraordinary achievements, he was several times offered to become a Bishop, but he refused them all, preferring the austerity of monastic life. Yet as a monk, Bernard spent much time in travelling because of his many involvements: writing, giving lectures, giving counsels, opening

    monasteries, etc. From Clairvaux, he travelled to many parts of Europe to open monasteries, which numbered 163 in all. Before his death, many had still been added.Many miracles happened even while he was still alive. One time he restored the power of speech to an old man that he might confess his sins before he died. Another time, an immense number of flies, that had infested the Church of Foigny, died instantly after the excommunication he made on them. Bernard died at Clairvaux on August 20, 1153 at the age of 63. His remains are venerated at the cathedral of Troyes, Champagne, France. He was canonized on January 18, 1174, 21 years after his death. He was the first Cistercian to be placed in the calendar of the saints. In 1830, he was given the title “Doctor of the Church” by Pope Pius VIII. Dear St. Bernard, we pray to you for priests and consecrated men and women. May they strive for a holy
    life, faithfully follow God’s commands, and imitate your great love for Jesus and Mary.”

    Mabuting Balita l Agosto 19, 2023 – Sabado

    Sabado sa Ika-19 na Linggo ng Karaniwang Panahon

    San Exequiel Moreno, Obispo San Juan Eudes, pari



    Ebanghelyo: Mt 19:13-15

     May nagdala kay Hesus ng mga bata para ipatong n’ya ng kanyang kamay sa kanila at madasalan. Pinagalitan naman ng mga alagad ang mga taong may dala sa kanila. Kaya sinabi ni Hesus: “Pabayaan ninyo sila. Huwag ninyong pigilang lumapit sa akin ang mga bata. Sa mga tulad nga nila ang kaharian ng langit.” At pagkapatong ni Hesus ng kanyang kamay sa kanila, umalis na s’ya.

    Pagninilay:

    Kapanalig, ano ang nagiging reaksyon mo, kapag nagsisimba ka at may mga batang naghahabulan sa loob ng simbahan, lalo na kung consecration na? Hindi lang yan, may umaakyat pa sa altar, kaya aakyat din ang yaya o kaya ang magulang, para pababain ang bata.

    Minsan nagpapahabol pa ang bata, na para bang nasa playground siya.
    Nadi-distract ka rin ba? Minsan nakasaksi ako ng ganitong scenario. Naubos yata ang pasensya ng paring nagmimisa, kaya tumigil sya. Itinuloy lamang nya ang Banal na Misa, nang nakuha na ng kanyang magulang ang bata. Ganito ang senaryong na-imagine ko, sa Mabuting Balita natin ngayon. Marahil magugulo ang mga bata, nang ilapit kay Hesus kaya pinagsabihan sila ng kanyang mga alagad. Pero ano ang sabi ni Hesus? “Hayaan ninyong lumapit sa akin ang mga bata”. Masasalamin natin sa pahayag na ito ni Hesus ang kanyang malasakit at pagpapahalaga sa maliliit na taong, walang pangalan sa lipunan. Madarama natin sa pahayag at reaksyong ito ni Hesus, na pantay ang kanyang pagtingin at pagmamahal sa lahat ng nilikha, kilala man ito sa lipunan, o nasa laylayan. Minsan naman, nagsimba ako sa Cathedral. Archbishop ang nagmimisa. Umakyat sa altar ang isang babaeng
    may kapansanan sa pag-iisip, at lumapit sa nagmimisang Arsobispo. Bago pa nakakilos ang mga security guard, nakaakyat na ang babae sa altar, kaya tumigil sumandali sa pagmisa ang Arsobispo, kanya itong binati at binendisyunan. Masayang bumaba ng altar ang babaeng may kapansanan, matapos siyang bendisyunan. Kapanalig, nakita ko sa ginawa ng Arsobispo ang katangian ni Hesus sa ating Mabuting
    Balita ngayon. Binigyan nya ng pagpapahalaga ang babae, kahit wala itong halaga sa tingin ng lipunan. Kung minsan, konting panahon at pagkilala lang ay sapat na, upang maiparamdam natin sa ating kapwa, na mahalaga siya sa mundong ating ginagalawan.

    Walking with the Saints Podcast | Feast of St. Ezekiel Diaz Moreno, Patron of the Cancer Patients | August 19

     



    Fr. Ezekiel Moreno worked as a missionary in the Philippines. He was a very zealous priest and lived an exemplary life which led him to the altar of God. Fr. Moreno was born in Alfaro, La Rioja, Spain on April 9, 1848 to devout Catholic parents. As a boy, he was prayerful, obedient, quiet and responsible. Gifted with the priestly vocation he joined the Augustinians Recollect in Navarra, Spain. At that time, the Augustinians were sending many missionaries abroad, and he was chosen to be sent, even though he was just a seminarian. Brother Ezekiel chose the Philippines as his mission territory.  After a long and tedious voyage, he arrived in Manila on February 10, 1870. A few months after his arrival, his superior sent him to Jaro, Iloilo to continue his priestly formation. A year later, he returned to Manila for his priestly ordination. Immediately after

    ordination, he was assigned as Military Chaplain at Iwahig Penal Prison and Penal Farm in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. The environment was not favorable and there were great tasks to be accomplished so Fr. Ezekiel got sick. When he recovered, he was sent to the Augustinian mission in Calapan, Mindoro where he became Vicar Forane at the age of 28. From there he was sent to Las Pinas and afterwards to Sto. Tomas, Batangas. Then he was called to Manila and wasappointed General Preacher of the Order of the Augustinians Recollect. In addition to this hard task, he was assigned as the parish priest of Sta. Cruz, Manila and was also tasked to manage the Augustinian farms in Imus and Bacoor, Cavite.

    In 1885, he was called back to Spain, and was elected superior of the seminary in Monteagudo, Navarra. Always available where there was greater need for priests, he was afterwards sent to the Augustinian mission in Colombia. He became Vicar Apostolic at Casanare and three months later he was ordained Bishop of Pasto, Colombia. As a

    bishop, he had a reputation for holiness. The people admired him for his prayer life, apostolic zeal, openness, simplicity and great charity. Early in 1906, he was diagnosed to be sick with cancer and returned to Spain. On August 19, 1906, he died a happy death at the age of 58. Immediately after his death, people clamored for his glorification. Witnesses came to testify to his exemplary life and the graces they obtained through his intercession. He was beatified on November 1, 1975 by Pope Paul VI and was canonized on October 11, 1992 by Pope John Paul II. His feast day is celebrated on August 19. He is patron of cancer patients.

    In honor of St. Ezekiel Diaz Moreno, parishes were named after him. There is also in Inagawan, Puerto Princesa, Palawan a spring called “Balon Pari.” It is said to be a spring discovered by St. Ezekiel in 1872 when he was assigned in the place. The water flowing from the spring is said to be miraculous and it cures various diseases of people who have faith. The Recoletos built a small chapel alongside the spring and a healing Mass is being celebrated there once a month. Those who

    have gone there testified that they were benefitted physically and spiritually.

    Virtue: piety, obedience, silence, humility, courage, availability, charity, zeal and openness.

    Prayer: “Lord, we pray to you bring healing and relief to those who are sick of cancer and other illnesses through the intercession of St. Ezekiel.” Amen.

    Mabuting Balita l Agosto 18, 2023 – Biyernes

    Biyernes sa Ika-19 na Linggo ng Karaniwang Panahon

    Santa Elena

    Ebanghelyo: Mt 19:3-12

     Lumapit kay Hesus ang ilang Pariseo na hangad siyang subukan, at tinanong nila siya: “Pinahihintulutan bang diborsiyuhin ng lalaki ang kanyang asawa sa anumang dahilan?” “Hindi ba Ninyo nabasa na sa simula’y ginawa sila ng Maykapal na lalaki at babae, at sinabi rin

    nitong iiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama at ina, at pipisan sa kanyang asawa, at magiging iisang katawan ang dalawa? Kung gayo’y hindi na sila dalawa kundi iisang katawan na lamang; kaya huwag papaghiwalayin ng tao ang pinagbuklod ng Diyos.” “Kung gayon, bakit iniutos ni Moises na bigyan ang babae ng kasulatan ng diborsiyo bago siya paalisin?” “Alam ni Moises na matigas ang inyong puso kaya
    pinayagan kayong diborsiyuhin ang inyong mga asawa, ngunit hindi ganito sa simula. At sinasabi ko naman sa inyo: kung may magpaalis sa kanyang asawa, malibang dahil sa pagtataksil, at saka magpakasal sa iba, nakiapid na siya.” Sinabi naman ng mga alagad: “Kung iyan ang itinatadhana para sa lalaking may-asawa, walang pakinabang sa pag-aasawa.” Sinabi ni Hesus sa kanila: “Hindi matatanggap ng lahat ang salitang ito, kundi ng mga pinagkalooban lamang nito. May ilang ipinanganak na hindi nakapag-asawa. May iba namang ipinakapon ng tao. At may iba ring tumalikod sa pag-aasawa alang-alang sa kaharian ng Langit. Tanggapin ito ng puwedeng tumanggap.”

    Pagninilay:

    Nung minsan sumakay ako ng taxi, na itanong sa akin ng driver kung totoo daw ba yung naririnig nya na hindi pwede mag asawa

    ang madre. Sinang ayunan ko sya, sabay sabi na ikinasal na kami kay Lord, kaya hindi na pwede mag-asawa. At muli siyang tumugon, "pero pwede pa po kayo mag-asawa." Ipinaliwanag ko sa kanya na hindi na pwede mag asawa ang ikinasal na sa Diyos. Kagaya ng mag-asawa, hindi sila pwedeng magkaroon ng isa pang asawa, dahil nanumpa sila sa kanilang "kabiyak". Mga kapanalig, ang ating Mabuting Balita ngayon ay nagtuturo sa atin, na alin man sa dalawa, pag-aasawa o pagpapari o pagmamadre man, ay nasa orihinal na plano na ng Diyos
    para sa atin. Kung tinawag ka ng Diyos sa pag-aasawa, hangad ng Diyos na maging tapat ka sa pagsasabuhay nito. Ganun din naman sa pagpapari o pagmamadre. Hangad ng Diyos na maging tapat din tayo sa ating commitment sa Kanya. Kaya ano man ang estado o bokasyon natin sa buhay, nawa’y manatili tayong tapat at totoo sa mga tao, pagkakataon at biyaya na nilagay ng Diyos sa ating buhay. Nawa’y maging tapat tayo sa orihinal na plano ng Diyos, dahil ito ang magdadala sa
    atin papalapit sa Kanya.
