“Si Martin Luther, dahil iniisip niya na siya po ay may awtoridad na mag decide kung anong libro ang idadagdag at ibabawas sa Bibliya, gusto rin po niyang tanggalin noon ang aklat ng Hebreo, Santiago, Jude at Revelation, dahil para sa kanya sila’y hindi parte ng main books of the Bible. Pero bilang mga Katoliko-Kristiyano, tayo po ay umaalala sa sinabi ni San Agustin. Ang sabi po niya, ‘Wala po tayong ibang kasiguradohan na ang mga aklat ni Moses at ang apat na libro ng Ebanghelyo at ang ibang mga libro ay mga tunay na salita ng Diyos kung hindi natin pagtitiwalaan ang batayan ng simbahang Katolika. At alam niyo po, noong ako’y Protestante pa, pinakakinagugulat ko, si Martin Luther mismo ang nagsabi sa atin, ‘Tayo ay obligado na sabihin na talaga namang nakuha natin ang salita ng Diyos o ng Bibliya mula sa mga Katoliko, na kung wala ang simbahan, wala tayong alam sa Bibliya.”

Sabi nga ni Lewis Carroll, “In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.”So, mga ka-Unboxing! Are you willing to lose the chance or take the risk na bumalik kay Lord pag alam mong nasa highway to hell ka na?

“What seems to be the end, to be a depression, to be a failure, to be a rejection is actually a redirection. A redirection that can start a journey of conversion, redemption and sanctification. Wala pong sayang, wala pong talo at wala pong matatapos sa ating Panginoon na hindi nagagawa ang Kanyang kalooban.He who has began His good work in you will see to it until the day of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Kung ano man po ang inyong pinagdadaanan ngayon mga kapatid, panalangin po namin na magkaroon po kayo ng grasya na daanan lang ang mga ito at ‘wag po tayong manatili kung nasasaan po tayo ngayon.”

Applicable pa ba ang quote na, “Love is sweeter the second time around?” pag tungkol sa relasyon natin kay Lord ang usapan?Let’s unbox the answer to this question with Fr. Albert Garong, a priest from the Society of St. Paul and the host of Padcast Podcast. Start here to learn how to properly read the Bible as a Catholic.

“All temptations look like ‘apparent good’—mukhang masarap, mukhang masaya, mukhang makakatulong. Hindi ba’t ‘yon ‘yong sinabi ng ahas kay Eba? At ang nakalagay doon sa Bibliya, ‘The fruit look good for eating,’ na masarap siyang tignan. So ito ‘yong tinatawag nating ‘apparent good’ but it is more often than not, what is apparently good is not really the ‘actual good.’ At maganda ‘yong paalala ni Jay kanina na ang kalayaan, mga ka-Unboxing, ay hindi nangangahulugan ng pagpili ng kahit na anong gugustohin natin. Ang kalayaan, kung titignan natin ‘yong mismong metaphysical reality niya, ‘yong ontological meaning, ibig sabihin talaga niyan ay ‘piliin ang tama.’ Binigyan tayo ng kapasidad ng kalayaan upang mapili ang tama.”

“So parang sa kanila, itong mga kingdoms na ‘to ay nag emerge as instruments of the evil one para ‘yong kanilang faith ay ma tarnish, mamantsahan ng impurities. Eh these are political kingdoms? Bakit tinuturing nilang parang sugo ng kasamaan? Because politics is not alway harmless. Politics can sometimes pollute our faith. Kaya hindi lahat ng legal, hindi lahat ng politically right is morally acceptable and harmless to our faith. So we have to be very careful.”

Bakit mahalaga ang pagbabasa sa ating pananampalataya?

Let’s unbox the answers to question in this breather episode with Jay Aruga of the Jay Aruga podcast!

“It is also interesting what Saint Josemaria Escriva said. Kuya Jay, I’ll read it to you no? ‘Reading has made many saints.’ Let that sink in mga ka-Unboxing. Marami na pong naging banal sa pamamagitan ng pagbabasa. Syempre, nariyan po, ang top two books na kailangan nating basahin bilang Katoliko ay ang Bibliya, ang salita ng Diyos and the Catechism which is also the word of God through the Sacred Tradition. Naalala niyo po ang dalawang bangko ng ating pananampalataya ‘yong ating scripture at ‘yong tradition. So scripture (bible) and tradition (catechism).”

Pag stressed ka, sino ang una mong kinakausap?

Kasali ba si Lord sa listahan?

Let’s reflect on these questions with Voltaire delos Reyes, the Formation Head of the Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen Marikina Chapter.

“May napapansin ako sa buhay natin, eh. Minsan kapag malayo tayo spiritually sa Panginoon, sumusunod ‘yong physical natin. Kasi ito ‘yong meaning ng ‘exile,’ diba? Putting you physically, where you are spiritually. And ang halimbawa ko rito ay kung nagiging false idol mo ang work mo, lalabas sa pangangatawan mo ‘yong pagiging Stress Drilon mo or Hagardo Versoza.”

Patunay ng isang tunay na pag-ibig ang katapatan. 

Kaya kung nasa iyo na ang lahat, ang pag-ibig mo ba sa Diyos ay mananatiling tapat?

“Magbibigay pa rin ng sign ang Diyos kahit hindi manghingi ‘yong hari. Ibig sabihin, it is always God’s initiative to save, even if we do not call for salvation. Even if we do not seek to be saved. God will always initiate the first move to save us. ‘Yon ‘yong napaka-comforting doon, na in the face of a person who refuses to be helped by God, God would still insist on helping us even if we don’t ask for help. Sobrang nakaka-overwhelm ng pagmamahal ng Diyos.”

Unboxers!

“Ang ginagawa ko sa Holy Mass, para akong bentilador, para akong electric fan na nag swi-swing. ‘Uy, may maganda doon. Uy, may maganda doon. Uy, may maganda doon. Uy.’ So may targeting ‘yong aking mata. Kaya minsan nakasalamin ako para makita ‘yong mga chix. And I did not want to, I just really want to focus on the Eucharist pero wala eh. And then I was just really feeling bad. And then the Jesuit priest said, ‘JPaul, you are young. And mukha kang maraming passion na bata, mukhang gigil kang human being. So, did you know that prayer is not only contemplative. The contemplative side of the Catholic faith is beautiful but maybe masiyado ka pang bata or wala ka pa d’yan. So what I want you to do is when you serve, serve with all your heart. So pag may activity ‘yong Church o ‘yong community, pag nagpulot ka ng basura, treat it as if you’re praying to God. When you welcome people, treat it as you’re praying to God. So everything you do, diba very Jesuit na, it is your prayer to God.’ So that slowly moved me, that slowly transformed my heart to falling in love with God.”

“But anyway, I wanted to comment on what Jay said and affirmed what JPaul is saying, because as a Protestant myself, not now, hindi po ako Protestant ngayon. As a former anti-Catholic Protestant, I really agree that these are the things that I didn’t see. And grabe, ‘nong sinabi ni Jay ‘yong Al Habayith, ‘nong na realize ko ‘yong Gebirah when I converted. Talagang ‘yong reaction ko parang—‘Oh my gosh. It’s making sense now.’ Na parang, ‘Kaya pala may Santo Papa.’ Mamaya, makikita natin when you read the book of Isaiah 22, makikita mo na ‘yong ‘Al Habayith’, siya ‘yong ‘prime minister,’ siya ‘yong administrador ng lahat ng mga pag-aari at ng buong kaharian habang wala ‘yong hari at ang tawag sa kanya is para siyang magiging ama ng kaharian, kaya ‘Papa.’ So doon pala nanggaling ‘yong ‘Santo Papa’. And, grabe guys, when I realized these things, I said: ‘It’s important for all Catholics to know the old testament.”

“Pero may koneksiyon ‘yan, Bernz. ‘Yong misa at ‘yong mesa—‘yong hapag ng Eukaristiya at ‘yong hapag ng handaan. Kapag may mga pista, alam ni Jay ito, alam ito ng mga Bulakenyo at mga taga probinsiya, ang destinasyon ng mga tao dalawa: simbahan para mag simba at bahay ng kakilala nila para kumain. ‘Yon ang palaging laman ng ating pistahan. Kaya, rito sa atin sa Pilipinas, lahat, lalahatin ko na na ang parokya na nagpi-pista, lalo na ‘yong matatandang parokya, ang misa nila ay every hour. Kasi, maraming bisita ang dumarating at ang bisitang dumarating madalas ay dadaan muna sila sa simbahan bago sila makisalo sa handaan. Oh, may rhyme na naman, dadaan muna sa simbahan bago makisalo sa handaan.”
