Ito ang buod ng mensahe ng Kanyang Kabunyian Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle sa padiriwang ng Simbahan ng Linggo ng pagkabuhay o Easter Sunday.
Ayon kay Cardinal Tagle, ang libingan ng patay na katawan ni Hesus ay nawalan ng laman upang makapagbigay ng liwanag at buhay sa sangkatauhan.
Sinabi ni Cardinal Tagle na tinatawag tayong manamampalataya sa pagdiriwang ng linggo ng pagkabuhay para magbigay ng liwanag at buhay para sa ating komunidad, sa pamilya maging sa s ocial media at maging sa bawat emosyon at konsensiya ng ating kapwa.
“Daily life offers many such “spaces” in our homes, alleys, barangays, schools, buses, jeepneys, markets, offices, cellphones, social media as well as in our minds, emotions, and consciences. Let the Risen Jesus empty them of death and fill them with light, love and mission. Only then can we be joyful and hopeful bearers of hope rather than servants of gloom and despair.”pahayag ni Cardinal Tagle
“The tomb where Jesus had been buried was found empty three days later. But we need to look at the accounts carefully. The tomb did not have the dead body of Jesus any longer. The tomb has been emptied of a corpse. But the tomb became the space for divine illumination and for angels proclaiming the good news of the Resurrection. The tomb is not empty after all. It is now the space of God to spread light and life. It is the space where the women received a mission to tell the disciples that the victory over evil and death had been won by Jesus. The Resurrection is about the “spaces” God offers to us to live our mission.”pahayag ng Kardinal
Ipinagdarasal ng kanyang Kabunyian na makapagbigay tayo ng liwanag sa buhay ng taong mas pinahahalagahan ang pera, kapangyarihan na nagdududlot lamang ng katiwalian, pagkaganid at pagmamanipula sa kapwa.
“The truth of the Resurrection of Jesus was betrayed and denied in exchange for money. This mode of acting sadly continues in our world. Hope in Jesus is forcibly discredited by offers of other sources of security and hope that money could buy. But this only leads to greed, corruption, manipulation and further despair.”mensahe ni Cardinal Tagle
Umaasa ang Kardinal na matutunan natin sa Easter Sunday na walang katumbas na pera o halaga ang misteryo ng pagkabuhay ni Hesus na siyang nagbibigay ng tunay na pag-asa sa sangkatauhan hanggang sa kasalukuyang panahon.
“It inflicts death on others, especially on those who are already marginalized. This Easter we declare once again:
no amount of money or power or honor could make us deny that Jesus is Risen and that He is our hope!”dagdag mensahe ni Cardinal Tagle.
