Ang Mabuting Balita para sa Nobyembre 19, Martes: Ika-33 na Linggo ng Taon : Lucas 19:1-10


Mabuting Balita: Lucas 19:1-10
1 Pumasok si Jesus sa Jerico at dumaan sa siyudad. 2 At may isang taong nagnga­ngalang Zakeo. Pinu­no siya ng mga kolektor ng buwis at napaka­yaman. 3 Sinikap niyang ma­kita kung sino si Jesus pero pandak siya at hindi niya magawa dahil sa dami ng mga tao. 4 Kaya patakbo siyang umuna at umakyat sa isang punong-ma­laigos para makita si Jesus pagdaan doon. 5 Pagdating ni Jesus sa lugar na iyon, tumingala siya at sinabi sa kanya: “Zakeo, bumaba ka agad. Sa bahay mo nga ako dapat tumigil ngayon.”

6 Nagmamadali siyang bumaba at tuwang-tuwang tinanggap si Jesus. 7 Inireklamo naman sa isa’t isa ng lahat ng nakakita rito: “Sa bahay ng isang lala­king makasalanan siya nakituloy.” 8 Ngu­nit tumayo si Zakeo at sinabi sa Panginoon: “Pa­nginoon, ibibigay ko sa mga dukha ang kalahati ng aking mga ari-arian; at kung may nadaya ako, apat na beses ko siyang babayaran.” 9 At sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus: “Dumating ngayon ang kaligtasan sa sambaha­­yang ito dahil anak nga ni Abraham ang taong ito. 10 At dumating ang Anak ng Tao para hanapin at iligtas ang nawa­wala.”

Reflection for November 18, Monday; Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time: Luke 18:35-43


Gospel: Luke 18:35-43
As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!” Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.” Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.

Reflection:
Does it pay to be persistent and to have faith in Jesus?

It always pays to be persistent in any endeavor that we are in; because eventually our persistence will bear fruit. How many success stories were anchored on the word persistence? Perhaps thousands even millions already, they toil in silence persistently working hard and never giving up until they achieve success.

The blind man in the gospel was also very persistent he never gave up shouting: “Son of David.”  Even if he was being censured by those around him he still persisted. Eventually his persistence bore fruit for he eventually got Jesus' attention. However, it was not only persistence that brought the blind man to Jesus. He also has powerful faith in Jesus.

Afterwards, Jesus asked him: “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.” Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” What if the blind man was not persistent and his faith wanting? What if he listened to the rebukes of the people around him? He would not have been healed by Jesus.

Let us always be persistent and let us always have this powerful faith in Jesus in any good that we ambition to do. We may not see any ray of hope now but Jesus will certainly respond to us in His own perfect time.

Are you always persistent when you want something from Jesus and do you have a powerful faith in Jesus? – Marino J. Dasmarinas

Reflection for Sunday November 17, Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time: Luke 21:5-19



Gospel: Luke 21:5-19
While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.

Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.

“Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.
+ + + + + + +
Reflection:
There’s a story about a man who was full of cynicism, fear and worry. Nothing occupies his mind except these three. He once was asked by a friend, if he believed in God, he said: “No, I don’t believe in God.” When the friend asked why, he answered: because no one has introduced me to your God or told me anything about your God.

Near the man and his friend was another friend named Jessie a practicing catholic who heard their conversation. He asked the fearful man if he could spare an hour for him every Sunday evening so that he could share Jesus and his catholic faith with him. The man said: “Yes I can give you may one hour or perhaps not only one hour even more than one hour and let’s do it as soon as possible.”

So it happened, on a Sunday Jessie went to his friend’s house and he shared everything that he knew about Jesus and his Catholic faith. The man was a very interested student he imbibed everything that was taught to him. And the result was, it created a thirst for Jesus in his life.

The man read books that dealt with Jesus and the  Catholic church and it eventually led to his baptismal in the church. After his Baptism, the man was not anymore fearful or worrisome for the reason that he already has Jesus in his life.

In the gospel, Jesus speaks about the end times; he talks about the fragility of life and the destruction of material things that surrounds it. He also talks about persecution even death. Yet He tells them not to fear or worry about it for He will take care of them.

End times scenarios are very real and it’s currently happening to many people at this very moment. What is the cause of these hopelessness and desperation?  They do not know that there’s someone like Jesus who saves, who inspires and who gives infinite peace of mind and hope.

We need to make a big difference in the lives of these people who do not know Jesus yet; we need to introduce Him to them. Why? For the reason that countless lives have been saved by Jesus with the help of those who were courageous enough to share Jesus with them. But there are still many who are getting desperate and who needs to know Jesus.

We therefore need to do something about it and not be worried of the consequences. Because Jesus himself said this: You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives (Luke 21:17-19).  – Marino J. Dasmarinas  

Ang Mabuting Balita para sa Linggo Nobyembre 17, ika-33 na Linggo sa Karaniwang Panahon: Lucas 21:5-19


Mabuting Balita Lucas 21:5-19
5 May ilan namang nag-uusap tung­kol sa Templo, at sinabi nila na may maga­gandang bato ito at mamahaling pala­muti. Sinabi naman ni Jesus: 6 “Darating ang mga araw na walang matitirang magkapatong na bato sa lahat ng inyong nakikita; iguguho ang lahat.” 7 Nagtanong sila sa kanya: “Guro, kailan ito mang­ya­yari at ano ang tanda na sumapit na ito?”

8 Sumagot si Jesus: “Mag-ingat kayo at baka kayo madaya. Maraming aang­kin sa aking pangalan sa pagsasabing ‘Ako ang Mesiyas; ako siya,’ at ‘Palapit na ang pana­hon.’ Huwag kayong sumunod sa kanila. 9 Sa pagkabalita ninyo sa digmaan at mga kaguluhan, huwag kayong mali­galig; mangyayari muna ito pero hindi pa ito ang wakas.”

10  At sinabi niya sa kanila: “Magdi­digmaan ang mga bayan at magla­laban-laban ang mga kaharian. 11 Mag­kakaroon din ng malalakas na lindol sa ma­raming lugar, magkakaroon ng tag­gutom, mag­kakaroon ng mga kakila-kilabot na bagay at ng malalaki ring kaba­­balaghan sa langit. 12 Pero bago sumapit ang lahat ng ito, dadakipin kayo at uusigin; ibibigay kayo sa mga sinagoga at dadalhin sa mga kulungan at ihaharap sa mga hari at mga gobernador dahil sa aking pangalan. 13 Sasapit ito sa inyo para makapag­pa­totoo kayo sa akin.

14 Isaisip ninyo na huwag ikabalisa ang pagtatanggol sa inyong sarili 15 dahil ako mismo ang magbibigay sa inyo ng mga salita at karunungang di matata­galan o masasagot ng lahat ninyong ka­away. 16 Ipagkakanulo kayo ng inyong mga magulang, mga kapatid, mga kamag-anak at mga kaibigan, at papatayin nila ang ilan sa inyo. 17 At kamumuhian kayo ng lahat dahil sa aking pangalan. 18 Su­balit hindi maaano isa mang buhok sa inyong ulo. 19 Sa in­yong pagpapaka­tatag, ang mga sarili ninyo mis­mo ang inyong makakamit.

1Reflection for November 16, Saturday; Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time: Luke 18:1-8


Gospel: Luke 18:1-8
Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’” The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?
+ + + + + + +
Reflection:
Does God always answer our prayers? The gospel would tell us that He always answers our prayers. But the reality of it all is there are times that God doesn’t answer our prayers. There are times that God fails us. We don’t know the reason behind these unanswered prayers only God knows.

If God seems deaf to our prayers would it be right for us to stop kneeling in prayer before God? We need not stop praying even if we get no answer from God. For the simple reason that our prayers before God gives us hope. Our prayers before God brightens our gloomy day. Our prayers tell us that amidst our life struggles there is a powerful God who is ever ready to listen notwithstanding the nature of His reply.

It's already immaterial if God answers or not because our prayers are not only limited with God answering or not answering it. Our prayers before God is much bigger that the reply that we expect from Him. This is for the reason that the gift of prayer in itself is already an enormous blessing from God.

What happens to us when we pray and after we pray?  When we pray we connect with our loving and powerful God and after we pray we become hopeful and we feel relieved, right? Therefore, the gift of prayer that Jesus had gratuitously given us is a balm that immediately soothes our wounded and burdened lives.   

We therefore have to pray as often as we can since a life without prayer is a life without hope and a life bereft of the presence of God.

Do you have a healthy prayer life? – Marino J. Dasmarinas      

Ang Mabuting Balita para sa Nobyembre 16, Sabado: Ika-32 na Linggo ng Taon : Lucas 18:1-8


Mabuting Balita: Lucas 18:1-8
1 Dapat laging manalangin at huwag masiraan ng loob – ito ang sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila sa isang talin­haga. 2 Sinabi niya: “Sa isang lunsod, may isang hukom na walang takot sa Diyos at walang pakialam sa mga tao. 3 May isa ring biyuda sa lunsod na iyon na madalas pumunta sa kanya at sinasabi: ‘Igawad mo sa akin ang kataru­ngan laban sa aking kalaban.’ 4 Ma­tagal siyang umayaw pero naisip niya pag­katapos: ‘Wala man akong takot sa Diyos at walang pakialam sa tao, 5 igagawad ko pa rin ang kata­rungan sa bi­yudang ito na bumu­bu­wisit sa akin at baka masiraan pa ako ng ulo sa pag­punta-punta niya’.”

6 Kaya idinagdag ng Panginoon: “Pa­kinggan ninyo ang sinabi ng di-matuwid na hukom. 7 Di ba’t igagawad ng Diyos ang katarungan sa kan­yang mga hini­rang na araw-gabing tumatawag sa kanya? Pababayaan ba niya sila? 8 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, agad niyang igagawad sa kanila ang kata­rungan. Ngu­nit pag dating ng Anak ng Tao, maka­kakita kaya siya ng pana­nampalataya sa lupa?”

1Reflection for November 15, Friday; Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time: Luke 17:26-37


Gospel: Luke 17:26-37
Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man; they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all. So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, someone who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise one in the field must not return to what was left behind. Remember the wife of Lot. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it. I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left.” They said to him in reply, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather.”
+ + + + + + +
Reflection:
When are we going to walk away from our sins? Should we still delay and wait when the most opportune time comes? It might not come and it might be too late already. We should change our ways right at this very moment for we do not know until when our life will be.

The people during Noah’s time were merrymaking and sinning until the floods came so they died without repentance. Same as with the people of Sodom and Gomorra who were engaged in grievous sexual sins they died without repentance as well.

What is sin that many of us are so smitten by it? Sin is the bait or trap of the devil for us to be in his kingdom. Many of us fall into this bait for the simple reason that we are enticed by the attractiveness of sin. This is basically the reason why we sin. But sin will bring us nothing but troubles and problems and it will surely not bring us any good in the end.

Let us take time to read and listen to the words of Jesus in the bible and let us be faithful to Jesus’ teachings. And He surely will find a way for us so that we could walk away permanently from sin. Sin doesn’t offer us any good at all and sin will not bring us except chaos until it destroys us. So we have to avoid it no matter how attractive it may be. – Marino J. Dasmarinas

Ang Mabuting Balita para sa Nobyembre 15, Biyernes: Ika-32 na Linggo ng Taon : Lucas 17:26-37


Mabuting Balita: Lucas 17:26-37
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad 26 Tulad ng nangyari sa panahon ni Noe, ga­yundin sa mga araw ng Anak ng Tao. 27 Kuma­kain sila at umiinom, nag-aasawa ang mga lala­ki at mga babae, hanggang sa araw na pumasok si Noe sa daong at dumating ang Baha na pumuksa sa lahat. 28 Tulad sa panahon ni Lot: kuma­kain sila at umiinom, nagtitinda at nami­mili, nagtatanim at nagta­tayo. 29 At nang luma­bas si Lot mula sa Sodom, nagpaulan ang Diyos mula sa langit ng apoy at asupre na pumuksa sa lahat. 30 Ganito rin sa araw na ibu­bunyag ang Anak ng Tao.

31 Sa araw na iyon, huwag nang bu­ma­ba pa sa bahay ang nasa terasa para kunin ang kanyang mga gamit at huwag nang umuwi pa ang nasa bukid. 32 Alala­ha­nin ninyo ang asawa ni Lot. 33Ang sinumang magsikap na magligtas ng sarili ay mawawalan nito, at ang ma­wawalan naman ng sarili ang magsisilang nito sa buhay.

34 Sinasabi ko sa inyo: kung may da­lawa sa isang higaan sa gabing iyon, da­dalhin ang isa at iiwan ang isa pa; 35 kung may dalawang babaeng magkasamang gumigiling, dadalhin ang isa at iiwan ang isa pa.” 37 At itinanong naman nila: “Saan, Panginoon?” Sumagot siya. “Kung nasaan ang katawan, doon nagti­tipon ang mga buwitre.”

1Reflection for November 14, Thursday; Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time: Luke 17:20-25

Gospel: Luke 17:20-25
Asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said in reply, “The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the Kingdom of God is among you.”

Then he said to his disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. There will be those who will say to you, ‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is.’ Do not go off, do not run in pursuit. For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation.”
+ + + + + + +
Reflection:
When do you say that the kingdom of God is within you already? It is when you are not afraid of anything that may happen to you for you know that somebody very powerful is in charge. If you already have Jesus in your life you would even embrace death because you know that death is the last passage before you meet God.

How could you have His kingdom within you? It’s when you faithfully follow Him in your words and deeds. It’s when you have your regular moment of prayer with Jesus.  This is when you would feel the presence of God in your life.

For those who believe that Jesus Christ is their Lord and savior the kingdom of God is within them already. For those who choose to follow the path of sacrifice of Jesus the kingdom of God is within them already. For those who are meek and humble the kingdom of God is within them already.

For those who surrender their lives in the hands of God amidst the chaos and worries of this world the kingdom of God is within them already. The kingdom of God is also your rock solid faith in Jesus for He is your safe refuge whenever you are being battered by the trials of daily life.   

Do you already have the kingdom of God? – Marino J. Dasmarinas

Mabuting Balita: Lucas 17:20-25
• 20 Tinanong si Jesus ng mga Pariseo kung ka­ilan darating ang paghahari ng Diyos at su­magot siya: “Hindi lantaran ang pagdating ng kaharian ng Diyos; 21 di masasabing ‘Narito o naroon,’ nasa inyo na nga ang kaharian ng Diyos.”

22 Sinabi ni Jesus sa mga alagad: “Dara­ting ang panahon na pananabikan ninyong makita ang isa sa mga araw ng Anak ng Tao at di naman ninyo makikita. 23 At may magsasabi sa inyo ‘Narito siya, naroon.’ Huwag kayong pu­­punta, huwag maghahanap. 24 Sumi­siklab nga ang kid­lat at nagniningning mula sa isang dako ng langit hanggang sa kabila, gayundin naman ang Anak ng Tao sa araw ng kanyang pagdating. 25 Subalit kailangan muna niyang mag­tiis ng ma­rami at itakwil ng mga tao sa kasalu­kuyan.

Reflection for November 13, Wednesday; Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin: Luke 17:11-19


Gospel: Luke 17:11-19
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”
+ + + + + + +
Reflection:
Do you always thank the Lord for all the blessings that you receive from Him everyday?

In our gospel, ten lepers were healed by Jesus but only one a Samaritan (considered as an enemy of the Jews) was grateful enough to express his gratefulness to Jesus. What happened to the other nine? They went back to their normal lives with the gift of eyesight courtesy of Jesus, yet they never went back to Jesus to express their gratitude.  

The Samaritan in the gospel speaks to us by his faith and deed of gratefulness; he tells us to always have faith and to always be grateful to the miracles that Jesus gives us everyday. For example, do we not forget to thank Jesus for the gift of life every morning?

Many of us are so busy that we forget to say our prayer of thanksgiving upon waking up. Many of the young people today, instead of saying their prayer of thanksgiving, they instead check first their smart phones for new messages and updates.  

Let us never forget to express our thanksgiving to Jesus first no matter how busy we are. – Marino J. Dasmarinas 

Ang Mabuting Balita para sa Nobyembre 13, Miyerkules: Santa Francisca Javier Cabrini : Lucas 17:11-19


Mabuting Balita: Lucas 17:11-19
• 11 Habang papunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem, dumaan siya sa hangganan ng Samaria sa Galilea. 12 At pagpasok niya sa isang nayon, may sampung lala­king may ketong ang luma­bas para salubungin siya. 13 Tumayo ang mga ito sa malayo at tumawag nang malakas: “Jesus, Guro, maawa ka sa amin.” 14 At sinabi naman sa kanila ni Jesus: “Uma­lis kayo at humarap sa mga pari.” At nang­yari na guma­ling sila habang nag­la­­lakad. 15 Isa sa kanila ang agad na nag­balik nang makita niyang guma­ling siya, at pasigaw niyang pinuri ang Diyos. 16 Nagpatirapa siya sa paanan ni Jesus, sa pag­papasa­lamat sa kanya. Isa siyang Samaritano.

17 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus: “Di ba’t sampu ang gumaling? Nasaan ang siyam? 18 Wala bang bumalik para magpuri sa Diyos kundi ang dayuhang ito?” 19 At sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus: “Tumayo ka, iniligtas ka ng iyong pana­nampalataya.”

Reflection for November 12, Tuesday; Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr: Luke 17:7-10


Gospel: Luke 17:7-10
Jesus said to the Apostles: “Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’? Would he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished’? Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded? So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.
+ + + + + + +
Reflection:
What does it take to be a servant of the Lord? It requires humility; a true servant whose only desire is to serve is at all times humble. He/she is ever ready to do what the Lord requires him/her to do. He/she will never complain she will patiently do the given task.

For many of us, to serve in the church is an opportunity to be popular in the community so that we could advance our own selfish agendas. This is not the desire of Jesus; the desire of Jesus is for us to simply serve with no hidden motives whatsoever.

Let us not hunger for recognition when we serve God for recognition will eventually come to us if we always serve with humility. To be a true servant of God is to humbly and silently work in His vineyard. Not conscious of any recognition or honor for this is how a true servant behaves.

To become a true servant of God is to silently accept the hurts that is thrown at you and leave it all up to God. For God will not let a true servant be destroyed by anybody. Eventually, a humble servant will be saved, justified and exalted by the Lord. - Marino J. Dasmarinas

Sasa­bihin kaya niya: ‘Halika na’t dumulog sa hapag’? 8 Sa halip ay sasabihin niya: ‘Ihanda mo ang aking pagkain; mag­bihis ka’t pagsilbihan ako habang kumakain ako’t umiinom, at saka ka na kumain at uminom.’ 9 Dapat kaya ka­yong tuma­naw ng utang-na-loob sa utusang iyon dahil ginawa nito ang ini­utos? 10 Gayundin naman sa inyo.
