The Sunday Gospel and The Monday Scripture

Dear Anak,

Naipadala ko na ang 50thousand pesos na pang tuition mo, pinagbili na namin yung kalabaw natin. ang mahal pala, COUNTERSTRIKE na kurso!

Wala na rin pala tayong mga baboy, naipagbili na rin namin, para sa sinasabi mong project, Nokia N75 ba yun? Ang mahal naman ng project mo!

Kasama din doon ang 7thousand pesos para sa field trip ninyo sa Mall Of Asia, malayo ba yun? Bakit ang mahal?

Isasanla pa namin yung palayan natin para mabili mo yung instrumento mong i-pod.

Napailaw ninyo na ba yung pinagpupuyatan ninyong San Mig Lights?

Sana gumaraduate ka na...



ITAY

(Thanks Anne for this wonderful and meaningful forwarded SMS message)

****The Sunday Gospel came from the book of John -

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

At that moment, my phone received a text message from Anne, and of course I didnt pay attention cos I was hopelessly helping myself to concentrate, and trying so hard to focus my reflection on that Sunday evening's Gospel. And it worked!

******Monday Gospel
Luke 24:13-35 - ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS

25And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26^(AE) Was it not necessary that^(AF) the Christ should suffer these things and enter into^(AG) his glory?" 27And^(AH) beginning with^(AI) Moses and^(AJ) all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

We were grouped into triads to discuss this scripture last night. I was so into it that I even read Anne's text message to my groupmates. It was not an ordinary SMS. Its relevance to the said scripture was powerful and meaningful, for it was clearly citing a realistic example of How people tend to Recognize God's work and love for all mankind.


Nakakahiya no? We acknowledge God when we're down, when we feel that there is a need to question God about the burdens we are carrying.
Bad trip no?Cos not all of us do not fully understand the essence of Christ's sufferings, His death and resurreccion.
