Jude is so named by Luke and Acts. Matthew and Mark call him Thaddeus. He is not mentioned elsewhere in the Gospels, except of course where all the apostles are mentioned. Scholars hold that he is not the author of the Letter of Jude. Actually, Jude had the same name as Judas Iscariot. Evidently because of the disgrace of that name, it was shortened to โ€œJudeโ€ in English.

Simon is mentioned on all four lists of the apostles. On two of them he is called โ€œthe Zealot.โ€ The Zealots were a Jewish sect that represented an extreme of Jewish nationalism. For them, the messianic promise of the Old Testament meant that the Jews were to be a free and independent nation. God alone was their king, and any payment of taxes to the Romansโ€”the very domination of the Romansโ€”was a blasphemy against God. No doubt some of the Zealots were the spiritual heirs of the Maccabees, carrying on their ideals of religion and independence. But many were the counterparts of modern terrorists. They raided and killed, attacking both foreigners and โ€œcollaboratingโ€ Jews. They were chiefly responsible for the rebellion against Rome which ended in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

Lord Jesus,
teach me to be a cheerful giver:
teach me to be like St. Lawrence
your deacon and martyr we honor
today who gave himself totally
and cheerfully to you because
he felt strongly the overflowing
abundance of your grace
and blessings to him;
many times we are reluctant 
to give our time, treasures,
and talents because we feel
always lacking;
open our very selves 
to find you and your blessings
within so that 
we freely give and share
whatever we have
to continue serving in your name;
most of all,
teach me to give more of myself
like a grain of wheat that dies
and produces much fruit in you.
Amen.

St. Lawrence, Martyr and Deacon,
pray for us!

Gospel Reading for August 10, 2026 – John 12: 24-26

LANGUAGE

Jesus said to his disciples: โ€œAmen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.โ€

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

The four-letter word that best describes dying to oneself is LOVE. If we look at all the teachings of Jesus and the kind of life he lived, everything ultimately points to one thing: LOVE. It is the LANGUAGE of God, and if we are truly his servants, then it must become our LANGUAGE as well.

As St. Paul beautifully describes in his First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 13:1โ€“13), LOVE never fails. This is not merely romantic love, but agape LOVEโ€”love that expects nothing in return, love that places the needs of others above oneโ€™s own, and philiaโ€”brotherly and friendly love that binds people together in genuine care and compassion.

True LOVE bears much fruit: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. It cannot produce bad fruit, because it comes from God himself.

Lord Jesus, help us to allow this LOVE to shape our thoughts, words, and actions, so we may someday attain eternal life with you. Amen.

Mga Kapanalig, ikinalulungkot ng Malacaรฑang ang insidente ng pangungutya ng ilang estudyante kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos Jr noong bumisita siya sa Davao City kamakailan.

Sa kumalat na video, maririnig ang pagmumura ng mga estudyante habang pinapanood ang pagsakay ni PBBM sa helicopter. Sa imbestigasyon na ginawa ng DepEd Schools Division of Davao, apat na mag-aaral ang sangkot sa insidente. Naglabas ang opisina ng pahayag para ihingi ng paumanhin ang anilaโ€™y โ€œinappropriate behaviorโ€ ng mga estudyante. Tiniyak nila sa publiko na hindi nila kinukunsinti ang pagmumura, na hindi sumasalamin sa respeto, disiplina, at responsabilidad na itinataguyod ng mga paaralan. Nakikipag-ugnayan daw ang opisina ng DepEd sa lungsod ng Davao sa mga magulang ng mga estudyante at sumasailalim na ang mga mag-aaral sa โ€œdisciplinary measures.โ€ย 

Ang mga bata ay parang espongha o sponge. Sa murang edad pa lang nila, nasisipsip na nila ang mga kaalaman at ugali ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila. Naitatanim sa kanilang murang kaisipan kapwa ang tama at maling impormasyon na huhubog naman sa kanilang pananaw, kilos, at pananalita. Kinokopya nila ang kanilang mga nakikita at naririnig, na siguradong pinatitindi ng social media. Kung napapaligiran sila ng mga taong palamurรก, bastos, at naghahangad ng kapahamakan ng iba, malaki ang tsansang ganito rin ang kanilang magiging asal. Sa kaso ng mga nagmurรกng bata sa Davao, malamang na nalantad sila sa isang kapaligiran kung saan tila normal na ang pagmumurรก.ย 

May kasabihan nga tayo: ang maling ginagawa ng matatanda ay tama sa mata ng mga bata.

Maaaring gamitin nating mga Katoliko ang ensiklikal ni Pope Francis na Amoris Laetitia bilang gabay sa paghubog sa ugali ng mga bata. Batay sa dokumentong ito, ang ating Simbahan ay naniniwalang ang pagiging disente ay hindi nangangahulugang dapat sumunod lang sa kung ano ang idinidikta, halimbawa, ng mga magulang. Gaya ng lagi nating ipinangangaral, iginagalang ng Simbahan ang personal na kalayaan ng tao at dito nakaugat ang pagtitimpi sa sarili at paggalang sa kapwa; sa Ingles, self-control and respect for others. Bagamat malaya tayong ipahayag ang ating saloobinโ€”gaya ng gรกlit sa pulitikoโ€”palagi itong dapat unahan ng kahinahunan at respeto. Kung galรญt man ang mga bata kay PBBM, mainam na gabayan sila kung paano ang galit na ito ay hindi mauuwi sa pagiging bastos.ย 

Ipinapaalala rin ng Amoris Laetitia ang tungkulin ng mga magulang sa paghubog sa ugali ng mga bata. Hindi nila ito dapat ipagkatiwala lamang sa mga paaralan o ibang institusyon sa labas ng pamilya. Kaya tama ang ginawa ng DepEd na makipag-ugnayan sa mga magulang ng mga batang minura ang pangulo. Dapat silang paalalahanan na ang pamilya ang unang paaralan ng mga bata.ย 

Tama rin ang mensahe ng opisina ng DepEd sa Davao na hindi dapat kunsintihin ang maling ginawa ng mga bata. Pero dapat din itong may kalakip na pagtatamaโ€”pagtatamang hindi gumagamit ng pananakit kundi nakatuon sa pagmamahal sa kanila. Ayon pa sa Amoris Laetitia, dapat turuan ang mga bata na ang maling gawain ay may consequences o mga kinahihinatnan. Sa kaso ng mga estudyante sa Davao, mahalagang ipaunawa sa kanila na maaari silang gayahin ng iba at hindi ito nakabubuti.ย 

Mga Kapanalig, gusto nating isiping isolated case lamang ang nangyaring ito sa Davao. Gusto nating maniwala na pinahahalagahan pa rin ng ating mga mag-aaral ang respeto at kabutihang-asal. Pero maging wake-up call sana ang insidenteng ito sa Davao sa mga nakatatanda, lalo na sa mga magulang at guro. Gaya ng ipinahihiwatig sa Deuteronomio 6:6-7, ang pagtuturo ng mabuting asal sa mga bata ay isang tuluy-tuloy na gawain, mula โ€œsa inyong pagtulog sa gabi [hanggang] sa inyong pagbangon sa umaga.โ€

Sumainyo ang katotohanan.
