Ituon ang pananampalataya sa pag-asa at hindi sa pagdurusa, panawagan ng Pari sa mananampalataya

Hinikayat ni Msgr. Claro Caluya III, diocesan administrator ng Diocese of Masbate, ang mga mananampalataya na huwag manatili sa pagninilay sa mga pagdurusa, kundi ituon ang pananampalataya sa pag-asang dulot ng pangako ng Panginoon.

Sa kanyang homiliya sa diocesan Mass sa Naga Metropolitan Cathedral nitong ikawalong araw ng nobena para sa kapistahan ng Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia, binigyang-diin ng pari na ang mga pagsubok sa buhay ay hindi maihahambing sa kaluwalhatiang naghihintay sa mga nananatili sa Diyos.

“The sufferings in this world cannot be compared to the glory that is to come. The sufferings in this world cannot be compared to the glory waiting for us,” ayon kay Msgr. Caluya.

Iniuugnay ni Msgr. Caluya ang mensahe sa buhay ng Mahal na Birheng Maria na nakaranas ng matinding dalamhati, ngunit natagpuan ang kagalakan sa katuparan ng pangako ng Diyos, lalo na sa muling pagkabuhay ni Hesukristo.

Aniya, sa halip na pagtuunan lamang ng pansin ang pitong dalamhati ni Maria, mahalagang makita rin ang mga sandali ng kanyang kagalakan mula sa pagtanggap sa balita na siya ang magiging Ina ng Diyos hanggang sa muling pagkabuhay ni Hesukristo.

“That sorrow turned into joy when she, together with the other disciples, saw that her son, after being buried, rose again. Rose again from death, destroying death forever,” paliwanag ng pari.

Binigyang-diin din ng pari na hindi nag-iisa ang mga Kristiyano sa kanilang pagharap sa mga pagsubok, sapagkat patuloy na nakikilakbay at namamagitan ang Mahal na Birhen.

“We really are not alone, because our Blessed Mother, our Ina, is there. Praying for us, interceding for us,” ayon pa kay Msgr. Caluya.

Hinimok ng pari ang mga deboto ng Mahal na Birhen ng Peñafrancia na panghawakan ang pangako ni Hesus ng buhay na walang hanggan at huwag matakot harapin ang anumang pagsubok, kabilang ang kamatayan.

Samantala, sinariwa rin ni Msgr. Caluya ang makasaysayang ugnayan ng Diocese of Masbate at ng Archdiocese of Caceres, na maituturing na “grandchild of Caceres.”

Noong Marso 1968, itinatag ang Diocese of Masbate, na unang naging bahagi ng Diocese of Sorsogon nang itinatag ito noong 1951, kasabay ng pagtataas sa Caceres bilang arkidiyosesis.

Dinaluhan ng mga pari at mananampalataya ng Masbate ang diocesan mass na nagbibigay-parangal sa Birhen ng Peñafrancia, patrona ng Bicolandia.

Gospel Reading for September 18, 2026 – Luke 8: 1-3

RECIPIENTS

Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.

————

The women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities were not just RECIPIENTS of God’s mercy and compassion. They responded to God’s call by helping provide for the needs of Jesus and the Twelve through their own resources.

When we become RECIPIENTS of God’s love, mercy, and compassion, we are also called to reciprocate by sharing the love, mercy, and compassion we have received with others in need. This is how we tell the world of His love.

Lord Jesus, teach us to be grateful for all the blessings we receive each day by sharing with those in need what we have received. Amen.

Thank you, Jesus
for inviting me to join
you in your journey:
there were many occasions
you have called me
like when I was sick,
when I felt lost,
when I felt empty,
when I coul not find any
direction in life,
when I was searching 
for meaning in life;
I found more than 
what I was looking 
for in joining your 
journey -
I found myself,
I found others like
family and friends,
most especially
I have found you
the very being
and good news of life.

Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources (Luke 8:1-3).

On dear Jesus,
keep me in your journey,
let me take your path,
let me proclaim your good news
to others, in season
or out of season;
let me show them your direction
to new life
here and hereafter,
always arising from
our falling and finally
from our sleeping
into eternal life.
Teach me,
Jesus,
to be generous
in sharing everything
I have in this journey
with you;
teach me to never
count the cost,
to never think of my
own glory nor of my name
except that I do always
your will.
Amen.
