ANG AKING PANGALAWANG PAGLALAKBAY<br />
Na<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> i<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> kami<strong>ng</strong> pagpu-pulo<strong>ng</strong> tu<strong>ng</strong>kol <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> pagdada<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>l. I<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> araw, mayroo<strong>ng</strong><br />
dalawamput-lima<strong>ng</strong> miyembro a<strong>ng</strong> dumalo rito. Gaya <strong>ng</strong> dati, nagsimula kami <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><br />
pamamagitan <strong>ng</strong> pagpuri at pag<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>mba <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><br />
Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon.<br />
Bigla nami<strong>ng</strong> naramdaman a<strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon.<br />
Napakamakapa<strong>ng</strong>yarihan niya, kamukha noo<strong>ng</strong><br />
araw <strong>ng</strong> Pentecost. Naaalala ko a<strong>ng</strong> nanay <strong>ng</strong><br />
a<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>wa ko, i<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> matanda<strong>ng</strong> deboto, sinabi niya<br />
<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> akin, "Bernarda, huwag tayo<strong>ng</strong> masiyado<strong>ng</strong><br />
magi<strong>ng</strong> mai<strong>ng</strong>ay haba<strong>ng</strong> pinupuri natin Siya,<br />
masiyado tayo<strong>ng</strong> gumagawa <strong>ng</strong> i<strong>ng</strong>ay." Tama<br />
siya, dahil a<strong>ng</strong> pagpuri ay para<strong>ng</strong> tunog <strong>ng</strong> i<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> talon. Na<strong>ng</strong> papakiu<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>pan ko na<br />
a<strong>ng</strong> mga padre na bawa<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>n a<strong>ng</strong> i<strong>ng</strong>ay, narinig ko na may sina<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>bi <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> akin a<strong>ng</strong><br />
Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon: "Huwag ka<strong>ng</strong> mag<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>lita! Sa mundo, pag nag-ii<strong>ng</strong>ay a<strong>ng</strong> mga tao,<br />
wala<strong>ng</strong> nakikialam, bakit mo ititigil a<strong>ng</strong> i<strong>ng</strong>ay <strong>ng</strong> papuri?" Kaya ipinagpatuloy<br />
nami<strong>ng</strong> purihin at <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>mbahin a<strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon. Naramdaman ko na i<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> magarbo<strong>ng</strong><br />
pa<strong>ng</strong>yayari a<strong>ng</strong> magaganap. Naalala ko<strong>ng</strong> bigla a<strong>ng</strong> sinabi <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> akin <strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><br />
una ko<strong>ng</strong> paglalakbay: "Babalik ako para <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> iyo."<br />
Bigla ay napuno a<strong>ng</strong> aki<strong>ng</strong> bahay <strong>ng</strong> maliwanag na puti<strong>ng</strong> ilaw. Nakita rin ito <strong>ng</strong><br />
mga padre. Niluhuran nila<strong>ng</strong> lahat a<strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon. Hindi ko alam a<strong>ng</strong> gagawin<br />
ko, at ako ay nanatili<strong>ng</strong> nakatayo. Lalo pa<strong>ng</strong> lumiwanag a<strong>ng</strong> ilaw, at ito’y naghugis<br />
tao. Sa aki<strong>ng</strong> harapan ay si Hesu-Kristo, i<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> napakaganda<strong>ng</strong> lalaki na puno <strong>ng</strong><br />
pag-ibig. Hindi pa ako nakakita <strong>ng</strong> ganito kaganda<strong>ng</strong> lalaki <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> lupa. Nilapitan niya<br />
pa<strong>ng</strong> i<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>-i<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> a<strong>ng</strong> bawat padre. Pero noo<strong>ng</strong> <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>bihin ko na <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> kanila na dumati<strong>ng</strong><br />
a<strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon para <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> akin, bigla ako<strong>ng</strong> nakapag-<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>lita <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> iba<strong>ng</strong> wika. (1 Taga-<br />
Corinto 14:39-40)<br />
I<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> ti<strong>ng</strong>in la<strong>ng</strong> Niya <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> akin, ay nahiwalay a<strong>ng</strong> kaluluwa ko <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> aki<strong>ng</strong> katawan at<br />
lumuta<strong>ng</strong> ako <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> himpapawid. Hinawakan ni Hesus a<strong>ng</strong> aki<strong>ng</strong> kamay at nagtu<strong>ng</strong>o<br />
kami <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> Republika <strong>ng</strong> Dominika. Na<strong>ng</strong> nakarati<strong>ng</strong> na kami <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> siyudad, sinabi <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><br />
akin <strong>ng</strong> Pa<strong>ng</strong>inoon: "Mayroo<strong>ng</strong> dalawa<strong>ng</strong> matindi<strong>ng</strong> ka<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>>lanan na ginagwa a<strong>ng</strong><br />
ban<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> ito <stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>> Aki<strong>ng</strong> Ama, pa<strong>ng</strong>kukulam at idolatrya." Nakita ko na hinahanaphanap<br />
<strong>ng</strong> mga mamamayan <strong>ng</strong> ban<stro<strong>ng</strong>>sa</stro<strong>ng</strong>><strong>ng</strong> ito a<strong>ng</strong> mga pa<strong>ng</strong>kukulam at a<strong>ng</strong> iba’t<br />
iba<strong>ng</strong> ritual.
