    23 OKTUBRE 2016 IKA-30 LINGGO SA KARANIWANG PANAHON - K BERDE

    +Ang Mabuting Balita ng Panginoon

    ayon kay San Lucas (Lu 18:9-14)

    Noong panahong iyon, sinabi ni Hesus ang talinghagang ito sa mga taong ang tingin sa sariliy matuwid at humahamak naman sa iba.

    May dalawang lalaking pumanhik sa templo upang manalangin: ang isay Pariseoat ang isa namay publikano. Tumindig ang Pariseo at pabulong na nanalangin ng ganito: O Diyos, nagpapasalamat ako sa iyo pagkat hindi ako katulad ng iba mga magnanakaw, mga magdaraya, mga mangangalunya o kayay katulad ng publikanong ito. Makalawa akong nag-aayuno sa loob ng sanlinggo; nagbibigay ako ng ikapu ng lahat kong kinikita. Samantala, ang publikanoy nakatayo sa malayo, hindi man lamang makatingin sa langit, kundi dinadagukan ang kanyang dibdib, at sinasabi: O Diyos, mahabag po kayo sa akin na isang makasalanan! Sinasabi ko sa inyo: ang lalaking itoy

    umuwing kinalulugdan ng Diyos, ngunit hindi ang isa. Sapagkat ang

    sinumang nagpapakataas ay ibababa, at ang nagpapakababa ay itataas.

    REFLECTION ON THE 30TH

    SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME-C (Sirach 35:12- 14.16-18; 2 Timothy 4:6-

    8.16-18; Luke 18:9-14)

    By: Fr. Herbert Camacho

    HOW CAN THE GRACE OF GOD FILL

    US, IF WE ARE TOO MUCH FULL OF

    OURSELVES?

    On this 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we

    shall be hearing another lesson about

    prayer, particularly our disposition before

    God, and how to make our prayer a

    genuine and sincere one.

    Dalawang imahe ang ibinibigay sa atin

    upang ating maging halimbawa --- ang

    PARISEO at ang PUBLIKANO. Ang mga

    PARISEO, sila ang mga magaling sa

    batas, mga namumuhay ayon sa

    mahigpit na pagtupad sa batas.

    Ginagamit ang kaalaman sa batas

    upang mamuhay ng maayos,

    samanatalang ang PUBLIKANO naman ay

    isang taong lantad ang pagkakasala.

    Sila ang mga maniningil ng buwis at mga

    prostitute noong panahon ni Hesus.

    Normally, we try to associate ourselves

    with the Pharisees and Publicans, but I

    guess, we are a mixture of both. Wala

  • -2-

    namang taong purong pariseo o purong

    publikano. Walang taong perfect na

    perfect at sukdulan ang kasamaan, dahil

    isang bahagi natin ay matuwid, isang

    bahagi ay makasalaan. Kaya nga sa

    misa, we start it with the Penitential Rite.

    We come to the Lord with all our mixed

    characters, being aware of what we need

    before God. Humility is the name of the

    game, which the Publican readily

    expressed in the Gospel. He stood at a

    distance; he didnt dare to look up; and

    kept on beating his breast. He went home

    justified, and not the Pharisee because of

    his humility, and his readiness to accept

    God to fill up what is lacking in him. The

    Pharisee was not justified by God not

    because he is a sinner nor for what he

    lacks, but rather, because he looks down

    to others, for he simply believed that he is

    better compared to the Publican, to the

    point of making himself believed that he

    has no need of anything even God.

    The first reading from the book of Sirach

    tells us that we cannot bribe God. Hindi

    pwedeng suhulan ang Diyos. God being

    a supreme God is not corrupted. Hindi

    nadadala sa lagay. He is fair, just, and

    does not play favorites. God sees us as his

    children and as a Father, He loves all of

    us. Malamabot ang puso ng Diyos sa mga

    mahihina --- widows, vulnerable, helpless,

    who lacks not only material resources, but

    those who have nothing to cling on. They

    are in most need, and God sees their

    helplessness. They cry out to God in their

    need, which makes the heart of God

    pierced. It touches the heart of God.

    Bakit? Sapagkat tanging ang Diyos ang

    malalapitan. Tanging ang Diyos ang

    pwedeng maasahan. In short, mga taong

    nangangailangan sa Diyos. Those who

    say, I need God. I cant do anything

    without God.

    That is the justice of God. His judgment is

    always on the side of the poor, the lowly.

    He does not ignore the orphans or the

    widows who cry for help. The first

    disposition that we need to have every

    time we pray is humility. It is only when we

    are aware of our own need, our being

    lowly, that God can fill what is lacking in

    us.

    The second reading tells us about the last

    days of St. Paul, writing his farewell to his

    friend, Timothy. It speaks of humility in

    service, and hearts totally given to God

    and neighbor. In suffering there is trust.

    Walang maipagmamalaki sa Diyos ---

    selfless in mission. His service is a crown

    he sees not as a prize, but rather an

    undeserved gift. St. Paul is a clear

    example of someone who is suffering, yet

    his prayers still are not be held against his

    persecutors, saying, Father, forgive them

    for they do not know what they are

    doing. Forgiveness becomes the

    disposition of the heart.

  • -3-

    In the Gospel, we would normally despise

    the Pharisee/ separated ones, and we

    feel pitiful of the Publican.

    Who is a Pharisee? He is not really a

    hypocrite. If you read carefully verses 11

    and 12, he was actually described as an

    upright and honest person. He kept the

    laws of God. He avoided sins, and he

    even did more than what was required of

    him. The law only prescribed fasting once

    a year (Lev 16:29), but this Pharisee fasted

    twice to atone for the sins of his people

    and draw blessings of God on them. He

    also gave offerings and tithes. He almost

    said to God, There are so many wicked

    in the world, but you see, I try to do good

    for them instead. Now tell me, how can

    you find fault in this man? Yes, probably

    he boasted on his honesty, but is that a

    serious offense to merit such reaction from

    God?

    Now let us look at the Publican. He was

    not the humble and meek man that we

    imagined --- experienced thief, heinous

    exploiter, and jackal. He exploited the

    poor, by not stealing from the rich. I think

    after hearing this, our sympathy will all go

    to the Pharisee, and not to the Publican

    anymore. We would probably say,

    Pwedeng mapatawad ang Pariseo,

    bumawi naman kasi. Eh yung Publikano

    parang mahirap mapatawad dahil wala

    namang sinunod na batas.

    According to the law, if he wanted to get

    salvation, he must return all he got plus

    20% interest, and change his profession

    immediately. We might say that yes the

    publican may be forgiven, but he cant

    simply get away from what he did. Ibalik

    muna ang lahat ng ninanakaw niya.

    But you see, the conclusion is far different

    from what or how we wanted to end the

    story. Jesus said the Publican went home

    justified while the other did not. Once

    again, it is contrary to the first reading,

    when we said that God is a just god. How

    come the well behaved is condemned,

    while the self-confessed sinner is justified?

    We have to understand that the master

    did not approve of his sins, nor praised the

    Publican. He was justified because he

    acted rightly in front of God, meaning

    wala tayong pwedeng ipagmalaki sa

    Diyos, not even our own goodness or our

    accomplishments.

    There is one thing he had - his sins, his

    misery, his interior poverty, his lowliness.

    Because of these, he knew very well and

    he was even convinced that he deserves

    nothing, even salvation, which can only

    come from God gratuitously.

    While the Pharisee, in suit of his moral

    integrity, took a strife before God. And so

    we ask, Anong kasananlaan nya? First,

    his own merit led him to think for his won

    salvation, parang sinasabing,

    Panginoon, marami akong ginawang

    mabuti sa kapawa at sa iyo, kaya dapat

    maligtas ako. Kaya dapat walang

    probelma, walang pagsubok. Second,

    because of his accomplishment, it led

    him to look down to the less holy, less

    good than himself. Yes, the Pharisee may

    not be wicked, but he is stupid. While the

    Publican may not be a perfect example

    of a virtuous life, but he is the image of

    someone who has a correct attitude in

    front of God humble and thinking less of

    himself, so that God can still fill up. The

    good thing about the Publican is that he

    can only offer his broken and contrite

    heart to God.

    It is also a parable about how we look at

    God. The Pharisee, believed that God is

  • -4-

    only a record keeper of bad and good

    deeds of people, but God is a just god,

    who looks up to those who have nothing

    to turn to but him alone. The Pharisee

    wanted to separate God, na tipong ang

    Diyos ay para lang sa mababait,

    makatao, masunrunin, at banal --- the

    worst kind of separation that can happen

    in our lives.

    At the last part of the gospel, we are

    reminded that anyone who raises himself

    will be humbled, and anyone who

    humbles himself will be raised up. Lets

    learn to be empty handed before God,

    poor ones, so that God can fill us up. The

    justice of God is not only because he

    grants each person what he deserves, but

    because he saves the poor and listens to

    their cry, the miserable and defenseless.

    That is why in the gospel, God was

    presented having the same attitude. He is

    moved by the Publican who only presents

    his miseries and sins.

    OCTOBER 13, 2016 INDUCTION OF

    NEW AP MEMBERS

    It was on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima,

    October 13, 2016, when the Apostles of

    Prayer assembled at the Parish grounds,

    heading for the National Shrine of the

    Sacred Heart in Makati City. On this

    Thursday morning, the induction and

    consecration of new members of the

    Apostleship of Prayer (AP), Archdiocese

    of Manila, were held. Msgr. Emmanuel

    Sunga, AP-Manila Spiritual Director was

    the mass and induction presider.

    The Eucharistic celebration started at 9:15

    am, followed by the presentation of new

    candidates and acceptance,

    consecration of the new members,

    imposition of the scapulars, and renewal

    of consecration by the present members.

    Two members of AP SJBP were inducted,

    namely Sisters Lydia Orense and Edemia

    Ayala.

    It was a special day because the National

    Shrine was preparing to celebrate the

    Feast Day of Saint Margaret Mary

    Alacoque on October 16, 2016. Saint

    Margaret was the means of spreading

    devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

    and the Holy Hour. Our Lord appeared

    to this Visitation Nun in 1675 and

    showed Himself in glory. In his agony in

    the Garden, Jesus went to His Apostles

    Peter, James and John, to seek a little

    consolation from them, but He found

    them asleep. He said to them Could

    you not then watch one hour with

    Me? In memory of this, Jesus asked St.

    Margaret Mary to honor the Sacred

    Heart by making a Holy Hour before

    Him in the Blessed Sacrament. During

    the hour, she was to implore Gods

    mercy for poor sinners and to sweeten

    the bitterness He felt in the Garden of

    Olives.

    As relayed to St. Margaret Mary, the

    desires of the Sacred Heart of Jesus are

    as follows:

    First The Glory of His Father

    Second The Honor of His Mother

    Third The Salvation of Souls

    Fourth The Relief of the Souls in

    Purgatory

    Fifth Propagation of the Devotion to

    His Sacred Heart

    Inspired by St. Margaret Mary, the SJBP

    Apostles of Prayer, headed by their

    President, Sister Rowena Serrano, are all

    the more enthusiastic to grant the

    desires of the Sacred Heart through

    daily activities (leading the Holy Rosary

    before mass, receiving Holy

    Communion, visiting the Adoration

    Chapel, praying the novena for the

    dead) and First Friday commitments

    (visiting the inmates, attending the First

  • -9-

    Friday Mass, and participating in the

    Holy Hour).

    Let us all hasten to our Saviors desires

    through our fervent prayers, daily mass

    and communion, and recitation of the

    Holy Rosary.

    OCTOBER 13, 2016 STREET MASS AT

    BEC SALAPAN

    Mapagpalang araw po sa lahat! Amin

    pong idinaos ang buwanang BEC Street

    Mass sa aming barangay noong

    nakaraang Oktubre 13, 2016, ganap na

    ika-6:00 ng gabi sa Melanio De St.. Ito ay

    pinamumuan ng ating resident guest

    priest na si Fr. Raul Cuyag.

    Sa kanyang mensahe, ipinahayag ni Fr.

    Raul na tayo ay dapat matutong

    magpasalamat sa Panginoon sa bawat

    biyayang Kanyang ibinibigay sa atin.

    Ayon daw kay Apostol San Pablo, dahil

    sa walang hanggang pagmamahal,

    ipinadala ng ating Ama ang kanyang

    bugtong na Anak. Ito ay mahalaga na

    pagnilayan natin sa ating buhay. Iniwan

    ng Diyos ang kaharian sa langit upang

    tayoy makapiling, bagamat tayoy mga

    makasalanan. Dahil dito, wala tayong

    karapatang manghusga sa ating

    kapwang nagkasala, at dapat bigyan sila

    ng pagkakataon na makapagbagong-

    buhay. Sa bandang huli a niya, ang

    kabutihan pa rin ang mangingibabaw sa

    mundong ito, kayat walang dahilan para

    tayoy hindi makapagsimba at

    magpasalamat sa Diyos.

    Nais po naming pasalamatan aming mga

    naging mass sponsors sa araw na iyon,

    gayundin ang lahat ng tumulong para

    maging maayos ang pagdiriwang ng

    OCTOBER 14, 2016 2ND BSL

    MONTHLY MEETING

    The second monthly meeting of all

    Barangay Servant Leaders (BSLs) of St.

    John the Baptist Parish was held last

    October 14, 2016, Friday at the office of

    Msgr. Nestor Cerbo. The meeting started

    at 7:15 PM.

    The responsibilities and positions of the

    BSLs were given emphasis. Each BEC must

    have division of labor thats why theres a

    need of having different positions for each

    BEC, like the W.E.S.T.Y. leaders, secretary,

    treasurer and PRO. The non-participation

    of other parish members was talked

    about and was noticed as one of the

    major problems in the implementation of

    BEC in the every barangay. Msgr. Cerbo

    will send letter of appeal to all

    organizations, ministries and movement

  • -10-

    heads for them to support their own

    barangay BECs.

    Msgr. Cerbo suggested that a BEC

    formation should be given to members of

    SJBP Choir and other youth members who

    have not attended BEC seminars yet, in

    order for them to be aware of the

    importance of BEC. He also asked Sis.

    Rubi to lead the proposed BEC council

    that will evaluate the BEC condition of

    each Barangay. The composition and

    purpose of this council is yet to be

    discussed on the next meeting. Likewise,

    BSL Team Building is still to be scheduled.

    Food and drinks were served while having

    discussions.

    The meeting ended at 9:30 PM with a

    closing prayer and blessing from Msgr.

    Nestor Cerbo.

    OCTOBER 15, 2016 BEC STREET MASS

    AT PASADENA

    On October 15, 2016, BEC Pasadena

    Street Mass started at 6:00 PM in Barangay

    Pasadena Court, with Fr. Raul as presiding

    priest. The mass was offered in

    celebration of BEC Pasadena Adult Cell

    Group (12 years) and BEC Pasadena

    Choirs (9 years) anniversaries.

    Fr. Rauls homily was about the main

    reason on praying or going to mass.

    According to him, we must pray not

    because we need something, but instead

    because we would like to thank God for

    everything.

    He also said that maybe one of the

    reasons why some people dont go to

    mass anymore is because they feel that

    God is not answering their prayers. Fr. Raul

    explained that God always answers our

    prayers, but sometimes not as how we

    expect or want it to be. God answers our

    prayers in order to help us and not to

    harm us. Fr Raul said that we must be

    persistent in praying, for God will surely

    give what we need. Before he ended his

    homily, Fr. Raul reminded those present,

    that they should continue to invite other

    people in the barangay to attend the

    monthly street mass.

    After the mass, there was a small

    celebration held at one of the BEC

    members house.

    OCTOBER 15, 2016 BEC PROGRESO

    STREET MASS

    Pasado alas-6:00 ng gabi nang dumating

    kami ni Msgr. Nestor Cerbo sa Baranggay

    Hall ng Progreso mula sa parokya.

    Nabalam kami ng kaunting oras dahil sa

    patuloy na pag-ulan, sanhi upang

    bumigat ang trapiko sa N.Domingo St.

  • -13-

    Noong unay napagkaisahan namin na

    sa Rivera St. idaos ang street mass, ngunit

    dahil sa masamang panahon, minarapat

    na lamang namin itong ganapin sa

    Barangay Hall.

    Sa isang bahagi ng misa ay naikwento ni

    Msgr. Nestor ang tungkol sa isang

    surgeon na lalaki at isang surgeon na

    Madre. Ang lalaking surgeon sa madaling

    salita, ay di naniniwala sa Diyos. Kung

    kaya naman ang madreng surgeon ay

    laging nananalangin na sanay bumalik

    sa pananampalataya ang lalaking

    surgeon. Dumating ang panahon na

    nagkaroon ng malubhang sakit ang

    lalaking surgeon, at itoy namatay. Nang

    malaman ito ng madre, nagtungo ito sa

    kinaroroonan ng kanyang bangkay, at

    dooy nalaman niyang bago ito

    mamatay ay humiling ang ito na

    mapagkalooban siya ng banal na

    sakramento ng binyag. Nagpasalamat

    ang madreng surgeon sapagkat natupad

    ang kanyang kahilingan, na sana sa

    pamamagitan ng kanyang mga

    panalangin ay magbalik-loob ang

    kasama niyang surgeon sa

    pananampalataya sa Diyos.Ayon kay

    Msgr. Nestor, ang aral sa kwentong ito

    ay A pagtitiwala at taimtim na

    panalangin sa Panginoon ang magiging

    katuparan sa ating mga kahilingan.

    Natapos po ang misa ng pasado alas-

    7:00 ng gabi. Marami din po ang mga

    dumalo na kapitbahay, senior citizens,

    BEC members, kabataan, at barangay

    Personnel.

    Nagpapasalamat po kami sa mass

    sponsor sa araw na iyon Sis. Elisa

    Salayon and Family.Salamat din po kina

    Bro. Ronnie Azor at Sis. Bela Cruz, sa mga

    altar servers, at sa mga BEC members na

    naghanda ng lugar na pinagdausan ng

    misa.

    Maraming salamat pong muli kay Msgr.

    Nestor Cerbo na naging punong

    tagapagdiwang sa misa.

    OCTOBER 15, 2016 BEC STREET MASS

    AT ISABELITA

    The BEC Isabelita street mass held every

    3rd Saturday of the month took place

    last October 15, 2016 at the Barangay

    Hall Day Care Room, in anticipation of

    rain. The mass started at 6:30 in the

    evening, with Fr. Francis Salcedo as

    priest presider.In the Gospel (Lk. 18:1-8),

    Jesus tells his disciples about the

    necessity of praying always to be

    persistent and not become weary of

    praying. In his homily Fr. Francis told us

    to pray to pray much and to pray

    with perseverance because God is

    listening, and in His time, He will answer

    our prayers. As an example, Fr. Francis

    mentioned St. Monica, who prayed for

    the conversion of her wayward son

    Augustine. She prayed persistently &

    patiently for about 30 years before

  • -14-

    Augustine had a change of heart and

    turned to the Lord. Augustine eventually

    became a Saint.

    The Lord tells us to pray always with

    perseverance, and without tiring.

    Though prayers are sometimes not

    answered the way we hope them to be,

    it is because the prayer might not be

    good for us, or maybe God has another

    plan for us. We should not lose heart but

    wait and continue praying because

    God will give us something much better

    than the one we are praying for.

    The street mass was held in cooperation

    of the BEC Isabelita Core Group,

    headed by BSL Naning Dela Pea, and

    the Isabelita Barangay Council headed

    by Barangay Chairman Edgar Corre.

    We praise God that BSL Naning Dela

    Pea had already recovered from his

    foot injury and was able to attend the

    mass. Welcome back, Bro. Naning!

    OCTOBER 16, 2016 CHILDRENS

    CATECHESIS AT BEC SALAPAN

    Muli po naming isinagawa ang Childrens

    Catechesis sa aming BEC noong Oktubre

    16, 2016, 4:30 ng hapon sa aming chapel.

    Ito po ay pinamunuan ng ating SJBP

    Volunteer Catechist na si Sis. Malou

    Evangelista at dinaluhan ng 24 na bata

    mula sa aming barangay.

    Ang tinalakay po sa araw na iyon ay

    Ang mga Biyayang natatanggap natin

  • -17-

    sa Araw-Araw. Ito ay mga biyayang

    hindi materyal tulad ng biyaya ng

    kasiyahan at kapayapaan; at pusong

    mapagpatawad, mapagmahal at

    mapagpakumbaba.

    Ibinahagi din ni Sis. Malou kung paano

    manalangin. Ang pagdarasal ay isang

    pakikipag-usap sa Panginoon sa

    pamamagitan ng ating mga puso. Kung

    ito ay mataimtim na isinasagawa, tayo ay

    maririnig ng Diyos. Sa ating pagdarasal,

    huwag lamang sana ito maging pansarili,

    bagkus isama din natin ang mga lider ng

    ating bansa, pamilya, at ang mga

    mahihina sa ating lipunan, kagaya ng

    mga maysakit, mga special children,

    mga nakakulong, mga sinalanta ng

    bagyo, mga nasa giyera, mga taong

    nawawalan ng pag-asa, at mga taong

    walang kinikilalang Diyos. Dapat sila ay

    atin ding ipinagdarasal. Sa ating

    pagdarasal, ipinakikita ni Hesus sa atin

    ang kanyang pagmamahal, at ibinibigay

    niya sa atin ang ating kahilingan lalo na

    kung batid niya na itoy makakabuti para

    sa atin. Walang imposible sa Diyos dahil

    Siya ay makapangyarihan.

    Malugod na nasiyahan ang mga bata sa

    pakikinig, kung kaya nagsagawa si Sis.

    Malou ng isang activity kung saan isa-

    isang nilarawan ng mga bata kung

    paano sila manalangin kay Hesus.

    Kamiy nagpapasalamat kay Sis. Malou

    sa panahong ibinahagi niya para

    mabigyan ng dagdag na kaalaman ang

    mga bata. Nagpapasalamat din kami sa

    nag-sponsor ng merienda sa hapong

    iyon.

    Ang susunod po na Childrens Catechesis

    sa aming BEC ay sa Nobyembre 6, 2016,

    4:30 ng hapon sa Our Lady of the

    Assumption Chapel.

    4:00 PM. At their age, it is important that they

    are being oriented to participate in spiritual

    activities.

    A total of 74 children from the different BECs

    Batis, Corazon de Jesus, St. Joseph, Rivera,

    Pedro Cruz, San Perfecto, Salapan and

    Tibagan enjoyed the packed lunch, which

    consists of rice, chicken teriyaki and pancit

    canton.

    Once again the officers and members of the

    CWL SJBP Unit would like to thank our donors

    and sponsors for this outreach activity. It is only

    through your continuous support that we were

    able to help children who needed help the

    most. May God bless us all!

    OCTOBER 19, 2016 BEC CORE

    GROUP MEETING The BEC Core Group Meeting was held

    again last Wednesday, October 19, 2016,

    7:00 PM at the 2nd Floor of the Parish

    Formation Center. The group gladly

    welcomed back Bro. Rene Reyes, BSL of BEC

    Pedro Cruz, who has just recuperated from

    his heart attack last September; and our

    beloved Parochial Vicar, Fr. Herbert

    Camacho, who was away for sometime due

    to his overseas mission and pilgrimage in

    Rome. Bro. Naning Dela Pea, BSL of BEC

    Isabelita led the prayers of adoration and

    contrition, which was followed by the

    reading of the gospel for the 30th Sunday in

    Ordinary Time.

    Before Fr. Herbert gave his exegesis of the

    gospel, he briefly shared first his realizations

    for the past couple of weeks that he had

    been away for his pilgrimage, which also fell

    in time for the celebration of his 5th year

    anniversary as a priest. According to Fr.

    Herbert, he realized that he is still a priest,

    not just because of Gods fidelity, but also

    because of the people/flock whom God has

    entrusted to him the same people who

    continues to pray for him. Remembering this,

    he made sure that he brought everyones

    intention to every sacred place and tomb

    he visited, as his little way of paying

    gratitude to all the people whom he shares

    his priesthood with.

    Moving on to his Gospel Reflection, Fr.

    Herbert discussed about the proper

    disposition and sincerity of our prayer life. A

    complete copy of the reflection is published

    in Ang Tinig.

    After the reflection and sharing of

    experiences, Msgr. Nestor discussed the

    business matters. Among the highlights

    were:
