May Tampo Ako Sa Diyos “I’m angry at God.” Those four words shot out of her lips like explosives, shattering the silence in the memorial chapel. With her bloodshot eyes. Tired from endless crying, sho looked at me for answers. I didn’t have any. The day before, her 8-year-old daughter died on the operating table. And her pale body was now in a white dress, inside a white coffin. I couldn’t say a single word. I wrapped my arms around the shaking figure of the mother and wept with her. Today, we start our amazing series on anger and unforgiveness titled, <strong>UNLEASHED</strong>. And we start this series with a twist: What do we do with our tampo with God when He doesn’t answer our prayer? It’s going to be a wild ride this month. Have an exciting Feast today! May your dreams come true, Bo Sanchez Talk 1: Freeing God Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:5 HCSB I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace. Psalm 34:1 TLB Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! Habakkuk 3:17-18 GNT And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10 ESV “Did you notice my servant Job?” the Lord asked. “There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil.” Job 1:8 GNT I know, Lord, that you are all-powerful; that you can do everything you want. You ask how I dare question your wisdom when I am so very ignorant. I talked about things I did not understand, about marvels too great for me to know. You told me to listen while you spoke and to try to answer your questions In the past I knew only what others had told me, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. So I am ashamed of all I have said and repent in dust and ashes. Job 42:2-6 GNT Personal Reflection and Group Discussion Share your own story when you trusted God amid your pain. Pray for those who have struggles right now.
Last Feast Recap Loud Talk 3: Expansion Human Nature: LOVE by Alyssa Marie Ilagan Fr. Joel Rescober said last Friday that we should learn to abide with the examples of Jesus Christ and keep in mind the mission given to us by the Father – to do what is right. He advised that spreading goodness, instead of contributing to something evil makes us faithful to our mission. “Kaya wag na tayo sumama sa masama. Paramihin natin ang kabutihan. Sa bandang huli, totoong kabutihan ang nananalo,” said Fr. Joel in his homily during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at The Feast SM Manila at SM City Manila Cinema 4. The priest presider stated that, through the readings, we would learn not to surrender to our evil inclinations given that evil, injustices, and cruelties still exist and are still rampant today. As for him, we dislodge the people around us because of greed, jealousy, and competition, like what was told in the first reading where Joseph’s brothers sold him to the Egyptians, and in the gospel reading where the workers killed the heir. According to Fr. Joel, our selfishness pushes us to do bad things, however, we must not forget that we’re all molded in the image and likeness of God. “If we have that nature to become selfish, do not forget that we also have the nature to love, and to serve and to do good things,” he added. Your mission STARTS NOW by Kareen Rodriguez and Vetina Segovia Last Friday, Bro. Philip Sumera declared that ‘now’ is the right time to start the things we are called and aimed to do. “While you are still young, God is telling you, ‘Be my blessing. Be my embrace. Be my forgiveness. Be my hope. Be my love ‘cause I love you. Do it today,’” said Bro. Philip during his talk for the third installment, Expansion, of the series entitled LOUD: Listening to the Voices of Today, of The Feast SM Manila at SM City Manila, Cinema 4. Because ‘today’ in our lives is a gift, The Feast leader told us that, rather than postponing things because of some excuses, we should always choose to act upon the things we ought to do before it is too late. On the other hand, The Feast SM Manila’s M.D. Session preacher, Dr. Ryan Capitulo, also declared that God is challenging us to commit to Him as early as now. As it was told in the holy scripture that many have said yes when they were called by God even at an early age – like Mary, David and Jeremiah – he said that God also challenges to expand our commitment and service to Him in the same way. He further stated that while we, the Light of Jesus Family, challenges the younger generations to expand their love, service and commitment for the Lord, we, also, are totally committed to walk with them throughout the journey. “We will always speak your language, not ours. We will always sing your songs. We will always die to our preferences so that you will feel at home in our community. We will always enter your world. We will always listen to your heartbeat. We will always walk beside you as your family in this journey called life, but please give us the chance to walk beside you,” said Doc Ryan. Meanwhile, Bro. Lep has mentioned during the first and second sessions that we must be careful for, sometimes, in times of troubles, delays are devil’s tactics. He emphasized that we must not be shaken by the negativities or by such delays because the devil’s tactics would be nothing against the stronger grace of God in our lives.
