An Inspirational Message by Rev. Fr. Mark Angelo
Sabi kanina, marami na daw na nakaganun...ganyan.. yung mga iba kanina habang nag tatalk ako kanina kitang kita ko akala ko, yes father.. yeezz father... maraming nag ye yes now.. medyo mahaba haba yung talk ko ngayon, so kung medyo aantokin po kayo at baka medyo hindi inspiring ang aking mga sasabihin, ay wag po ako ang sisisihin ninyo.. sisisihin niyo ang nag iimbita sa akin..
Ang nakatuka po sa akin ay FAITH, HOPE, LOVE,and UNITY. It is not new to me , kasi lahat yata ng mga anniversary na napuntahan ko, yan ang aking topic... FAITH, HOPE,LOVE and UNITY... now, some of my points siguro ay alam na ng mga taga madrid. pero ano ang FAITH?
FAITH in tagalog PANANAMPALATAYA - Ano ang root word na PANANAMPALATAYA? .. is "TAYA" ... taya is parang you are gambling something... tumataya ka sa isang bagay, and tumataya ka sa isang bagay na dalawa, wag kang tataya sa isang bagay na.. like for example sa isang carera ng mga kabayo, Siempre before ka pumunta tumaya alam mo na kung sinong magaling, at hindi ka tataya sa isang bagay na hindi mo alam na mananalo ka... TAMA o MALI? , Even sa pagtaya mo sa lotto alam mo na yung number mo, is yan ang pinaniniwalaan mo na mananalo ka.. kaya ka tumataya.. NANINIWALA ka... NAGTITIWALA ka. Another reason kung bakit ka tumataya is, ikaw ay? ano? Trust and Believe, Ibig sabihin PANANAMPALA-TAYA is naniniwala ang nagtitiwala, Therefore pananampalataya is not a noun. Faith is not a noun.. in the catholic perspective, Faith is a verb. Faith is something that is active, Faith is something that is moving, faith is something that is Dynamic. Kayat tingnan mo yang katabi mo faithful ba yan? kapag dynamic yan , kapag lively yan, at kapag active yan, ay.. yan ay isang faithful na tao. Kanina sa mga kanta ninyo mga magagandang anak ng Diyos mag palakpakan..... saang parte? Saan? Saan ba mga magaganda diyan? and i would like to ano.. .. another characteristic of Fatith is,,, Faith is something that is celebrated, Faith that is not celebrated is not faith at all. Kulang, Kaya noong pagpasok ko kanina.. WOW! parang fiestang fiesta ang ambience, fiestang fiesta ang nararamdaman ko, Sabi ko this the celebration really of the people here filled with faith in GOD that moved them to be lively at this moment. Alam ninyo kung bakit ko na feel na fiestang fiesta dito? ano ang mayroon sa fiesta? Fiesta is a faith experience, it is a faith celebration, before natanggal ang religious aspect ng fiesta, the original term ng fiesta is actually a religious activity. Unfortunately ngayon kahit sa pilipinas, is even the Sinulog Fiestival is natanggal ang Faith elements of that celebration. Now, Are you all faithful? You are filled with faith? Articles of faith ang nasa creed ng katoliko, Now, why am I asking this one? because another characteristic of faith aside from celebrated is Faith is Doctrinal. Ibig sabihin what we believe, hindin mo pwedeng sabihin na i am a faithful catholic if you dont know the?,,, ano ang pinaniniwalaan natin. We can always say.. Father nagsisimba naman ako, father nagdadasal ako, father nag rerecieve ako ng communion, father ganito ganyan.. lahat nalng ng mga celebration sa simbahan nandoon ako father. Kahit may tabaho ako, I make sure na I go to church every sunday. But faith is not just sacramentals. Ang isang problema sa ating mga pilipino is we are sacramentalized, Alam natin lahat ng mga dapat gawin, but we are na evangelized. Ibig sabihin na we dont understand why we are doing this. that is why it is a challege for us that to be faithful is study, to read, to ask. You have priests all over the world, you ask if there are questions, Bakit? Paano? Saan? Ano? faith is doctrinal. second is Faith is doing, alam ninyo na lahat iyan tama o mali? very very good tayo lahat diyan. We do things that we believe, we do good things, hindi kayo tatagal ng ganitong years kung you are not doing good. and that is the richness of the church, people who are doing good things. that is FAITH.
Second is LOVE, when we talk about love, saan ninyo nararamdaman o kailan nyu nararamdaman na mayroong pagibig talaga? Waht season of the year? Christmas.... Bakit kaya laging sinasabi natin na ang |Christmas day doon natin nararamdaman that people are so in-love? Because the basic understanding of love is.... the Christmas day, When God himself became man, that is what love ios all about. When God himself ay nagkatawang tao katulad natin. You can just imagine, si Hesus with al ng kanyang grandeur bilang Diyos, with the click of His hand is jkayang kaya naman Niya na i save lahat. Naging tao Siya because he wanted us to be saved. Pero bakit pa nya kailangang maging tao? God Siya and so Powerful. Another question, kung natanong n'yo na sa inyong sarili, obligasyon ba ng Diyos na i save ka? hindi obligasyon ng Diyos na i save ka, Bakit hindi Niya obligasyon? dahil kapag obligasyon ng Diyos na i save ka, wala Siyang magagawa whether you like it or not, pwede mong gawin anything you want kasi obligasyon Ko na i save ka.,,, Obligasyon naman ng Diyos na i save ako so gagawin ko lahat na kahit anong gusto ko.. But He did it because of LOVE. Another example of LOVE, when you see the cross, when you see the wounds of Christ, are being scandalised by it? Hindi ba kayo naaawa every good friday? everytime na nakikita ninyo ang cross at ang wounds of Christ anong nararamdaman ninyo? Some other denominations would be scandalised that is why hindi na nila dinidisplay ang body of Christ. Crucified, kasi na escandalo sila na hindi pwede ang Diyos na mag suffer, masugatan. You have to remember na that body, that blood, that skin, that wouds, are wounds, body, skin, blood of the Son of GOD. Kung ikaw na ang pinakamayamang tao sa buong mundo, Can you donate everything that you have? Ganun ang ginawa ng Diyos, ibinigay Niya lahat wala na Siyang itinira sa Kanya, tapos ano pa ang ginagawa ng tao? Namatay si kristo all because of LOVE, and the deeper word of LOVE in latin is "Com-Passion", "Com" meaning WITH, Passion means " SUFFERINGS" , Love na walang sakit, pagibig na walang sugat, ay hindi tunay na pagibig. Kaya nga hindi ako naniniwala sa mga sabi sabi nila na hindi ka mapapakain ng pagibig, pero if you look at the deeper meaning of Love, gagawin mo ang lahat alang alang sa iyong minamahal, hindi mo hahayaaang magutom ang isang anak mo, hindi mo hahayaang magutom ang iyong asawa, gagawa at gagawa ka ng paraan para mapakain sila, and that is LOVE. And in the book of prophet Isiah, sabi doon, the food that be fed to the poeple is the FOOD of LOVE, you can just imagine kapag lahat tayo kumakain ng pagibig, at naging parte ng katawan natin what a beautiful world we have. there will be no injustice, pero kapag ang kinakain natin ay pride, hatred , laziness,,ehhh.,, ganun ang mundo..
HOPE- kapag naiisip ko ang HOPE what I always remember, ang lumalabas na una sa aking utak ay the word ETERNAL LIFE, mayroon na po ba rito na nakarating na sa eternal life? at bumalik? Paano ninyo masasabi na there is a eternal life? why are you still celebrating the mass, why are you still going to the Gawain kung wala naman palang eternal life at all. Is it because of Faith or it is because of Hope? Now, let me just explain to you a little bit about eternal life, kung paano natin siya titingnan, we can experience eternal life actually here on earth habang tayo ay buhay. So close your eyes at imagine na nasa loob kayo ng sinapupunan ng nanay... lahat tayo nasa loob ng sinapupunan at ang alam nalang nating gawin is umikot ikot, at ang alam lang natin ay ang daliri lang natin ay kinakagat, yan lang ang alam nating gawin. at ang alam lang natin na ang mundo natin ay puno ng tubig, puno ng darkness, etc,,, so nasa loob tayo ng womb and then may naipanganak isa sa atin, Unfortunately akala natin kapag ipinanganak na siya ay hindi na natin siya makikita kasi di na bumabalik , akala natin wala na siya. "ay kawawa naman siya wala na" and tayo akala natin tayo lang yung world na tinitingnan kasi un lang nakikita natin, yun alng na fefeel. And then what if bumalik siya sa sinapupunan at sabihin niya sa atin na, " ang mga paa pala natin si lang naka ganun pwede palang mag lakad, pwede palang tumakbo, pwede palang manipa at ang mga dali mo.. pwede palang pambilang , pwede palang pang dampot yung mga labi mo mas magaganda pala ang words na mailalabas hinid lang pala silence, yung mga mata mo,, kapag pumungay pala yan meron kang mahahanap na magmamahal sayo. You see the explaination of that? That going to eternal life is actually giving fullness to our life. giving meaning to what you have and that is what eternal life is all about , So hindi pala natin hihintayin ang kamatayan bago natin ma experience ang eternal life. Kaya nga always sinasabi ko enjoy your life, nagpapakahirap kayo mag trabaho para saan? you have to enjoy your life and enjoying life does not mean that you have to shout, you have to go party party. But enjoying life is making sense of your life here on earth and your doing that is because mayroon kang kinakapitan and that is what HOPE is all about. Something that kinakapitan niyo sa inyong buhay, isipin ninyo sinong mga kinakapitan ninyo? yung mga nag testemonies kanina, I know in your experiences n'yo in hardships, experiences of problems mayron kayon kinakapitan , asawa kamag anak.. sino man o sino man and that is what HOPE is all about.
And if you mixed this three FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE doon mo lang ma meet ang Fourth and that is UNITY. No further explanations pagsamahin mo lang ang faith, hope, and love, you have unity, something that is wrong in the faith level , magkakaroon ng disunity. Tingnan ninyo ang nangyayari sa history of the church nagkaroon ng problema sa faith level, nagkaroon ng protestant..etc.. nagkahiwahiwalay, nabuwag. something that is wrong in the LOVE level kahit pareparehas kayo ng paniniwala, But in the love level wala, mayroong selfishness, mayroong greeds magkawatakwatak. Something that is wrong with the HOPE level, bumitaw ka, nagsarili ka, umalis ka, kasi wala ng meaning wala ng kinakapitan parang wala ng silbi, there will be division.
So my dear brothers and sisters in Christ in the name of EL SHADDAI , let us Strive, work harder for the church, for El Shaddai group as a whole, that we may be filled with FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE so that UNITY will remain. - Rev. Fr. Mark Angelo
