Re: Sunday Reflection First Sunday of Advent
First Sunday of Advent
Readings for Mass
First Reading: Jeremiah 33:14-16
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 25:4-5, 8-9, 10, 14
Second Reading: First Thessalonians 3:12--4:2
Gospel: Luke 21:25-28, 34-36
25 "There will be signs
in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay,
perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves.
26 People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand."
34 "Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise
35 like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth.
36 Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man."
Reflections:
Nasa ospital ang bunso kong anak dahil sa pagsusuka. Pagkagaling ko sa trabaho dumideretso na ako sa hospital upang palitan ang tagabantay. Di kalayuan sa aming silid ay may mga tumatangis. Binawian na ng buhay ang pasenyente sa room 3 dahil sa katandaan.
Sa tingin ko, bago pa kunin ni Lord ang pobreng matanda, nakapaghanda na siya sa kanyang biyahe patungong langit. Eh, paano yung mga naaaksidente, yung mga inaatake sa puso, o yung mga napatay sa masaker sa maguindanao? Sila kaya ay nakapaghanda?
Sabi nga, “Kung ano ang kaya mong gawin ngayon, gawin mo na.” at “Pilitin mong gumawa ng mga mabubuting bagay bago mahuli pa ang lahat dahil hindi natin alam kung kailan tayo magwawakas.” Hindi natin alam kung kailan ang ating oras para humarap sa Diyos. Alam natin na ang iskedyul ng appointment natin sa kanya ay siya
lamang ang nakakaalam.
Ako kaya, pag sumakabilang-buhay, ay maging handa sa pagharap sa ating lumikha? Lahat tayo ay napapalibutan ng tukso upang gumawa ng kasalanan. Madaling magpakabuti ngunit mahirap ang magpakabanal. Kung itutuos ko ang aking sarili, hindi ako karapat dapat na humarap sa Kaniya. Kung ihahalintulad, Ako’y isang hamak na taong grasa sa sobrang daming pagkukulang na aking nagawa. Aking dalangin na gabayan ako ng Diyos upang unti unti kong linisin ang aking sarili. Upang sa aking pagharap ay maging karapat-dapat ako sa Kanyang paningin.
Siguro maganda ay simulan ko sa gawa. Sana kayo din…
