  • Walking with the Saints Podcast | Feast of St. Lawrence of Brindisi, Patron Saint of Brindisi | July 21

     Walking with the Saints Podcast | Feast of St. Lawrence of Brindisi, Patron Saint of Brindisi | July 21

     


     

    It seems unbelievable but it happened. Our sources tell us that in Italy, there was a custom to allow little boys to preach to the faithful during Christmas time, in memory of Jesus in the Temple when he was 12 years old. St. Lawrence, who had the gift of oratory was six when he was asked to give a homily in the cathedral of his town. His audience was deeply touched that many shed tears and were encouraged to

    improve their Christian lives. In the succeeding years, while he was still a
    young boy, he was always the one chosen to give the homily during the Christmas festivities.  Lawrence or Lorenzo was born Giulio Cesare de Rossi on July 22, 1559 in Brindisi, Italy. He studied at the school of the Conventual Franciscan Friars in his town. Later he enrolled at the University of Padua to study philosophy and theology. In 1575, Giulio
    Cesare joined the Capuchin Friars Minor at Verona, Italy and took the name Lawrence (Italian – Lorenzo.) He was ordained priest at the age of 23. When he was thirty-one years old, he was elected provincial superior of the Capuchin in Tuscany, and he held the same office for several monasteries of the Order.  In 1596, he was given another big task by the
    Capuchins in Rome. Lawrence established Capuchin monasteries in Germany and Austria, Vienna, Prague and Graz. When he founded the monastery in Prague, he was named “imperial chaplain” for the army of Roman Emperor Rudolph II to fight against the Ottoman Empire. He recruited the Duke of Mercoeur for help. In Hungary, he also led the Roman army against the Turks. It is said that in this battle he did not bring any weapon and held a Crucifix in his hands, but with his 18,000 Christian soldiers won miraculously against 80,000 Turks. This was the
    Crucifix he held every time he had great works to do and when he would perform a miracle. To this day, this Crucifix is still being used by the Superior General of the Capuchin Order.

    Lawrence mastered several languages, could write and speak them fluently besides Italian. Such languages are: Latin, French, Spanish, German, Bohemian, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac. His knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic was God’s gift.  Popes Gregory XIII and Clement VIII appointed him apostolic preacher to the Jews in Rome and they were convinced that Jesus Christ was the awaited Messiah. In 1602, he was elected vicar general of the Capuchin Friars, the highest position of the Order during that time. He was to be elected for the same position in 1605, but he declined and refused. He had the privilege to serve the Holy See by becoming the papal nuncio to Bavaria and

    then to Spain. Lawrence was indeed a very busy person. He was a writer, a preacher, a superior, a missionary, an envoy, and a strong opponent of heretics.  In 1618 he retired in a monastery. But the following year he was recalled to Rome as a special envoy to the King of Spain. After this mission, he died in Lisbon on July 22, 1619 on his 60th birthday.

    Virtue: piety, penance, excellence, commitment, obedience, patience, integrity, humility

    “St. Lawrence, pray for Catholics who are losing their faith in the midst of heretics.”

    Reflection: How much do I know of the Catholic Catechism?

  • Mabuting Balita l Hulyo 21, 2023 – Biyernes

    Mabuting Balita l Hulyo 21, 2023

    Biyernes ng Ika – 15 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

    Ebanghelyo: Mt 12:1-8

    Naglakad si Hesus sa mga taniman ng trigo minsang Araw ng Pahinga. Nagutom ang kanyang mga alagad at sinimulan nilang alisin sa uhay ang mga butil, at kainin ‘yon. Nang mapansin ito ng mga Pariseo, sinabi nila kay Hesus: “Tingnan mo ang iyong mga alagad, gumagawa sila ng ipinagbabawal sa Araw ng Pahinga!” Ngunit sumagot si Hesus: “Hindi n’yo ba nabasa ang ginawa ni David noong magutom siya at ang

    kanyang mga kasama? Pumasok siya sa bahay ng Diyos at kinain ang tinapay na inihain para sa Diyos gayong bawal sa kanya o sa kanyang mga kasama na kainin ito liban sa mga pari. At hindi n’yo ba nabasa sa Batas na sa Araw ng Pahinga, walang pahinga ang mga pari sa Templo pero wala silang kasalanan dahil dito? Sinasabi ko naman sa inyo: Dito’y may mas dakila pa sa Templo. Kung nauunawaan n’yong talaga ang salitang ito, ‘Awa ang gusto ko, hindi handog,’ hindi n’yo sana
    hinatulan ang walang-sala. At isa pa, ang Anak ng Tao ang Panginoon ng Araw ng Pahinga.”

     

    Pagninilay:

    Mga kapanalig, narinig nating sinabi ng Panginoong Hesus

    sa Mabuting Balita: “Habag ang nais ko at hindi handog.” Nagutom at kumain ang mga alagad, sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Pero sinabi ng mga Pariseo, na mahigpit na ipinagbabawal ng Kautusan ang kumain sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Ang Kautusan ay patnubay o gabay sa ating buhay, pero kung mas pinapahalagahan ito, kesa sa buhay ng tao, hindi
    ito tama. Kung papansinin natin, ang mga “house rules and duties” ng bawat pamilya, naipapaliwanag ba ito bilang responsibilidad ng bawat isa? Kung may isang miyembro na hindi nakapaglinis ng bahay dahil sa schoolwork, hindi naman yata tama, na hindi pakainin ng buong araw. O kung sa opisina naman, na late ang empleyado dahil may sakit ang anak, hindi naman yata tama, na sigawan o tanggalin agad sa puwesto ang “casual worker”. Nawa’y sa araw-araw nating pakikitungo sa kapwa, manaig sa puso natin ang habag ng Diyos.

    Manalangin tayo: 

    Panginoong Diyos, maraming salamat po sa araw-araw na mga biyaya!  Lubos po kaming nagpapasalamat sa’yong wagas na pagmamahal, kahit hindi kami karapat-dapat.  Itulot Mo po na maging maunawain kami at mahabagin, sa pagkukulang ng aming kapwa. At makita din sana namin ang sariling pagkakamali at maiwaksi ito. Patawad po sa mga pagkakataong naging mapanghusga kami sa kahinaan ng iba.  Tulungan Mo po kaming maging Mapagpatawad at Mapagmahal, Amen.

  • Mabuting Balita l Hulyo 20, 2023 – Huwebes

    Mabuting Balita l Hulyo 20, 2023

    Huwebes ng Ika – 15 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

    Ebanghelyo: Mt 11:28-30

    Sinabi ni Hesus: “Lumapit sa akin, lahat kayong nahihirapan at may pinapasan, at pagiginhawain ko kayo. Kunin ninyo ang aking pamatok at matuto sa akin na mahinahon ako at mababang-loob, at makakatagpo

    kayo ng ginhawa para sa inyong kaluluwa. Sapagkat mabuti ang aking pamatok at magaan ang aking pasanin.”

     

    Pagninilay:

    Sa ating paglalakbay dito sa dagat ng buhay maraming iba’t ibang pamatok na dumarating sa atin. Oo, mga pamatok, mga pagsubok, mga hamon, mga bagay na susubukin ang ating kakayahan, ang ating pasensya, ang ating abilidad. Madalas nalalampasan natin, madalas ok lang tayo, minsan kinakaya na lang natin. Pero may mga pagkakataon at mga araw na nakararamdam din tayo ng pagod, ng panghihina at animo’y gusto nang sumuko. Halimbawa: tanungin natin, mabigat ba

    ang isang baso ng tubig? Ah siyempre hindi, kayang kaya nating hawakan ang isang baso ng tubig. Pero subukan mong hawakan ang isang baso ng tubing ng isang oras, ng dalawang oras, o ng isang buong araw? Hindi ba mapapagod ka rin, mangangalay ka rin? Ganito rin tayo sa mga pinagdadanan nating pagsubok, maliit man o malaki.
    Mga kapanalig, alam ng Panginoon ang ating pinagdadaanan. Alam niya kung gaano kabigat ang araw-araw nating nararanasan. Kaya nga inaanyayahan niya tayo na lumapit sa Kanya. Pangako Niya sa atin na maginhawa at magaan ang kanyang pamatok at pasanin. Liwanagin natin, hindi niya sinasabi na walang pagsubok o pasanin
    kung lalapit tayo sa kanya. Laging merong pagsubok sa buhay ng tao. Mayroong krus ang bawat isa na minsan ang bigat ay hindi masusukat at ang bunga sa puso at isip ay sadyang di ano lamang. Pero sinasabi ng Panginoon na bagamat mayroon siyang pamatok o pasanin, magaang ito, bakit? Dahil kapiling natin ang Diyos. Siguradong sasamahan at tutulungan niya tayo. Siya ang ating Mabuting Pastol na inaalalayan tayo sa pagdadala ng mga pasanin sa buhay, sa pag harap sa mga pagsubok. Kung ang mga pagsubok na ibinibigay ng mundo ay labis na ang bigat
    para sa atin, alalahanin natin, lumapit tayo kay Hesus, kasama natin ang
    Panginoon at kailanman ay hindi niya tayo pababayaan. Amen.

    Mabuting Balita l Hulyo 19, 2023

    Miyerkules ng Ika – 15 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon

    Ebanghelyo: Mt 11:25-27

    Nagsalita si Hesus sa pagkakataong iyon: “Pinupuri kita, Amang Panginoon ng Langit at lupa, sapagkat itinago mo ang mga bagay na ito sa matatalino at marurunong, at ipinamulat mo naman sa mga karaniwang tao. Oo, Ama, ito ang ikinasiya mo. Ipinagkatiwala sa akin ng aking Ama ang lahat. Walang nakakakilala sa Anak kundi ang Ama, at walang nakakakilala sa Ama kundi ang Anak at ang sinumang gustuhing pagbunyagan ng Anak.”

               

    Pagninilay:

    Kapanalig, sa mga graduations na dinadaluhan ko, nato-touch ako

    sa tagpo ng pagpapasalamat. Lalo na noong graduation sa Schola Christi, yun bang tatakbo pa ang bata na dala-dala ang fresh Rose flower.  Ibibigay sa ama at sa ina at yayakap. Habang ang parents naman, mahigpit ding yayakap sa anak at pupugpugin ng halik. Sasabayan pa nito ng kantang “Thanks to you” by Tyler
    Collins. For example, sa first two lines, sinasabi sa awit na: “Thank you for teaching me how to love.  Showing me what the world means, that I’ve been dreaming of. “Expressive ang lyrics. Totoo na ang papuri at pasasalamat ay ang matamis na kaugalian na kailangan nating itreasure.  Sa pasasalamat natin sa Ama, hindi lang ito dahil sa mga benefits na nareceive natin o ang maging blessed sa buhay. Kundi kinikilala natin na ang Diyos ang focus at center ng ating pasasalamat at nasisiyahan tayo na pasalamatan Siya. Halimbawa, sa mga Panahon na lalo nating nakilala ang sarili natin, lalo nating natututuhan kung paanong magmahal kahit walang kapalit. Nabubunyag din sa atin kung ano ang kahulugan ng
    buhay dito sa lupa. Sa pagpupuri at pasasalamat sa Ama, kailangan ng personal na ugnayan sa Kanya. Kaya, madali nating mabibigkas ang “Thank you, Lord” sa bawat nagaganap sa atin. Kapag safe na nakarating sa pupuntahan, “Thank you, Lord”. Bago at pagkatapos kumain, “Salamat, Lord.”  Kapag naharap mo ang challenge with faith and courage, Praise God! Habang nireready ko ang reflections ko para ngayon, sinubukan ko ang ChatGPT Artificial Intelligence tungkol sa Prayer of Thanksgiving to God. Five seconds lang, may prayer of gratitude na sa harap ko. Impressive! Autogenerated at nakasalansan nang tama ang mga dapat pasalamatan sa Diyos. Maganda ang dasal, pero hindi ko kayang gamitin.  Paano tatanggapin ng Ama ang papuri ko kung hindi ito galing sa puso ko? Paano ko itong madadasal nang
    taos kung hindi ito nakabatay sa sarili kong karanasan at ugnayan sa Ama? Hindi ko maipagpapalit ang ginintuan at wagas na pasasalamat.  dahil mula ito sa kaibuturan ng aking pagkatao at budhi. Bukod pa rito, deserve ng ating Ama nang wagas na pasasalamat at papuri.  So, let us not settle for any artificial thanksgiving and praise to God, our Father.  In the first place, tunay at dalisay ang  lahat-lahat nang galing sa Kanya.

    Mabuting Balita l Hulyo 18, 2023

    Martes ng Ika – 15 Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon




    Ebanghelyo: Mt 11:20–24

    Sinimulang tuligsain ni Hesus ang mga bayang ginawan niya ng karamihan sa kanyang mga himala, sapagkat hindi sila nagpanibagong-buhay: “Sawimpalad kayong mga bayan ng Corozain at Betsaida! Kung sa Tiro at Sidon nangyari ang mga himalang naganap sa piling ninyo, nagsisi sana silang may abo at sako. Kaya sinasabi ko sa inyo: Mas magiging magaan pa ang sasapitin ng Tiro at Sidon sa araw ng paghuhukom kaysa inyo. At ikaw naman, Capernaum, itataas ka ba sa langit? Hindi, itatapon ka sa kaharian ng mga patay! Sapagkat kung sa Sodom nangyari ang mga himalang naganap sa iyo, narito pa sana ngayon ang Sodom. Kaya sinasabi ko sa inyo: mas magiging magaan pa ang sasapitin ng lupain ng Sodom sa araw ng paghuhukom kaysa

    inyo.”

     

    Pagninilay:

    Karaniwan, sinisita tayo parati ng mga magulang dahil sa katigasan ng ulo natin. Bakit? Dahil hindi tayo sumusunod sa mga inuutos at mga sinasabi nila. Ganun din, sinisita ng mga guro o mga professor

    ang mga estudyante na walang nai-ambag sa mga group project. Binibigyan ng gradong mababa, kesa sa mga mag-aaral na itinotodo ang effort sa mga gawain. Mga kapanalig, naligaw man tayo ng landas, pero hindi kailangan ang mabibigat na mga parusa. Ang kailangan natin ay may malasakit na pagtutuwid sa ating mga pagkakamali, upang lumaki tayong isang mabuting tao. Ganun ang ginawa ng Panginoong Hesus sa narinig nating Mabuting Balita ngayon. Binigyan niya ng pagkakataong magbago ang bayan ng Corazin at Betsaida, pero nanatili sila sa paggawa ng kasalanan ang hindi kinakitaan ng pagsisisi.  Kapanalig, maka-ilang beses ka na bang binigyan ng Panginoon ng chances o panibagong pagkakataon upang baguhin ang ugali mo na taliwas sa kanyang kalooban?  Ilang beses ka na bang pinagaling sa sakit, iniligtas
    sa aksidente, naka-recover sa matinding problema – upang pagkatapos nito, you’ll come out as a better person, always grateful to God for everything that He has blessed you with.  Sa araw na ito,
    inaanyayahan ka ng Panginoon na magbalik-loob, pagsisihan ang mga nagawang kasalanan, at buong pagpapakumbabang lumapit sa Sakramento ng kumpisal, upang ihingi ng kapatawaran ang mga nagawang kasalanan, Amen.

    Manalangin tayo:  Panginoong Hesus, tulungan Mo po akong pagsisihan ang aking mga kasalanan.  Nawa’y lagi kong tanggapin ang Iyong mga

    Salita nang may pag-ibig, at maisabuhay ito sa tulong ng Iyong Banal na
    Espiritu. Baguhin Mo po ako upang maging kalugod-lugod Sa’yo, at gamitin Mo po ako, ayon Sa’yong layunin, Amen.
