ANG ____________ BUNGA... PAMALANDONG SA IKA-5 NGA DOMINGO SANG PASKWA SANG PAGKABANHAW, Commission on Liturgy [Archdiocese of Jaro] Agod nga magpamunga ang ubas sing maayo, dalagko nga mga bunga kag agod ang mga bunga sini mangin puno sing duga, gina tinluan kag gina-utod ang iya sini nga mga galagmay nga sanga kag ang sobra nga mga dahon. Kon kaisa makita mo nga sa sobra nga pagtinlo sini ang mga dalagko nalang nga mga sanga ang gina bilin. Kon kaisa abi mo patay ini nga mga sanga kay wala na sing berde nga dahon. Ginahimu ini agod nga ang sustansya nga makadto pa kontani sa mga dahon kag galagmay nga mga sanga nagakadto sa bunga mismo agod nga magdalagko ini, magdamo kag mapatubas sang bunga nga puno sang dugas. Masakit ini, apang kinahanglanon ini agod nga ang ubas mangin mapinatubason. Amo man ini sa tawo. Ano na lang ayhan kita subong kon sang una ginpagustuhan lang kita kon luyag kita mag-iskwela ukon indi Ano na lang kita ayhan subong kon ginpabay-an lang kita kon indi naton luyag magkaon Ano na lang ayhan ang natabo sa aton subong kon wala kita gindisiplina, kon wala kita ginpilit, kon wala kita gintulod sang aton mga ginikanan Sang una nagarebelde man kita. Sang una indi kita kahangop kon nga-a kasubong sini ang pagtratar sa aton. Sang una kontra man naton ang aton ginikanan tungod kay ginapasakripisyo kita, ginpukaw kita, gin papuli kita nga temprano 4 Mayo 10- 16, 2009 pa. Apang subong tungod kay kita naghamtong na, nakahibalo kita nga yadtong tanan may kapuslanan, nga yadto tanan bahin sa pagpadaku kag pagporma sa aton sang aton ginikanan.masakit kon kaisa, apang natslupangdan naton nga kon wala yadto ginbuhat sa aton, siguro gid nga subong mangin mabudlay pa gid tapat ang aton pangabuhi kag nd kita maka-abot sa aton na abtan subobg. Bahin yadto sang pag-utod sang sanga sang ubas, bahin yadto sang masakit nga pagtinlo agod nga ang ubas mangin mabinungahon. Sa amo man nga bagay kinahanglanon man naton ini sa aton Espirituhanon nga kabuhi. Si Kristo nagsiling,” kon ako may mga sanga nga wala nagapamunga, gina-utod Niya ini: gintinlo-an sang amay ang tagsa ka sanga nga nagapamunga, agod magpamunga pa gid sing madamu.” ginatinlo-an pa gid agod magpamunga ini sing madamo. Ang pag-utod kag ang pagtinlo wala natapos sa aton paghamtong. Padayon ini bisan hamtong na kita kag kita mismo dapat makahibalo sang dapat naton utdon. Sa pagtuon naton ang magmangin mapinasensiahon, dapat kahibalo kita magtulon sang aton bugal, dapat kita kahibalo mag-utod sang aton kaakig, dapat kahibalo magpugong sang aton baba kag sang aton kamot. Isa man ini ka sahi sang pag-utod kag pagtinlo nga ang sanga nga na angot kay Kristo magpamunga sang isa ka malulo kag mapinasensiahon nga tagipusoon. Sa pagtuon naton nga magmangin maalwan dapat kahibalo kita magutod sang aton kadalok kag kasakon, dapat kahibalo kita magtinlo maiya-iyahon nga tinutuyo agod nga ang aton pagbulig wala nadagtaan sang maiyaiyahon nga interes. Dapat kita magtuon nga magbiya sang aton pinangabudlayan kag indi magmangin maisip. Dapat utdon naton ang mga paghunahuna nga nagpadaku sang aton ulokag naghatag sagn importansya. Sa pagtuon mangin maalwan dapat naton utdon ini nga mga sanga agod magpamunga ang aton mga buhat sang maalwan kag mabinalak-on nga buhat. Agod nga kita magpamunga sa aton pag-alagad sa simbahan kag sa isa kag isa kinahanglan kabatas man kita mag-utod sang aton mga huyog, sang aton luyag, sang aton mga nanami-an nga buluhaton. Kahibalo kita magsakaripisyo sang aton tion, kahibalo kita magbatas sang kakapoy sa lawas. Isa ini ka pagutod kag pagtinlo agod nga ang sanga magpamunga sang maayo nga mga bunga. Bahin ini sang aton pakipag-angot kay Kristo. Kay kon nag-angot lamang kita sa iya nga wala sing sakripisyo, nga wala sing mga pagpaiway kag wala sing paghalad sang aton kaugalingon, wala ini sing kapuslanan kag indi man kita mangin mabinungahon. Ang Ginoo nagapaabot nga wala lamang kita naangot sa iya, kundi sa aton pag-angot sang aton kaugalingon dira kay Kristo, kita man a magmangin mabinungahon. Importante nga kita magmangin mabinungahnon dira kay Kristo. Ano gid bala ang maganar naton kon kita nagapangayo apang indi kita luyag maghimo sang mga buhat sang kaluoy para sa mga nagamasakit kag mga nagakinahanglan Ano gid ang makuha naton nga kita nagasimba sa tagsa ka Domingo apang wala kita nagapasilabot sa kabuhi sang aton nga kauturan kag sang aton katilingban Ano gid bala makuha naton nga bunga dira sa aton pagupod kay Kristo kon indi man kita hada nga magpatawad, kon indi kita bukas nga mag-alagad, kon indi kita handa nga magsakripisyo sang aton kaayuhan para sa iban Duha ang ginapangayo sa aton sang aton nabanhaw nga Ginooo dira sa aton ebanghelyo – nga kita magpabilin kay Kristo kag sa aton sini pagpabilin sa iya kita magpamunga sang maayo nga mga bunga.
Sure enough we hear of people committing evil, doing harm to other people who live a rather peaceful, promising or righteous existence. There are those who are engaged in the trafficking or sale of illegal drugs. Yes, they make money out of their nefarious activities but sadly it is at the expense of other people. There are also those who pull hold-ups, victimizing innocent drivers, businessmen and other people or sometimes even killing them. These things happen not to mention the kidnappings which continue in our midst. There are also those who keep on amassing wealth in a rather corrupt or dishonest way. We likewise hear of people committing rapes and killing their victims. What king of life do these people live It is one without direction and meaning without which it is not life at all. It is dead. It is a life without God, one not rooted in its very purpose which is to serve and to love. Showing how enormously important it is for us to be with or in Him, Jesus, in today’s Gospel compares Himself to a vine and us the branches, He says: “I am the vine and you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in Him will bear much fruit because without me you can do nothing.” Sure enough anything severed from a life giving source will but wither away and die. A branch cut off from a tree will wither and so will flowers after being taken off from a stem. In our spiritual life, we need also a source of nourishment or life to be alive and be productive. We need Christ in our life just as branches need a vine to bear fruits. In the Old Testament Israel a number of times is referred to as a vine or a vineyard. The prophet Isaiah speaks of the vineyard of the Lord of hosts as Israel. God through the prophet Jeremiah says: “I planted you (Israel) as my vineyard.” Seeing the evil that Israel has committed, the prophet Hosea says: “The vineyard of the Lord which is Israel has become useless.” In fact the vine was Israel’s national symbol or identity as shown by the fact that the temple in Jerusalem, as born out by the ancient historian Josefus,, was designed with a vine on its front door. HOW FRUITFUL ____________ IS OUR LIFE STEVE FERNANDEZ, Reflections God, the owner of the vineyard, definitely expected Israel to bear fruits particularly good ones. Lamentably, however, His vineyard degenerated into a wild vine, producing instead foul and stinky grapes of injustice, immorality and violence. Those listening to Jesus then exactly knew what He meant by His words. God in the vine dresser. Jesus in the vine and we are the branches. Jesus is using the same imagery as He calls on the universal and New Covenant people of God to bear fruits for His kingdom. As a tree in known by its fruit so is a Christian by his fruit. If a mango is known by its fruit and if a banana is known in the same way, what fruit is expected of us to bear It is love, As St. John tells us, “Let us love not in our words or speech but in deed and truth.” (2 nd reading) What God expects for His kingdom is a life of lived in love and mercy. It is said that in one parish there was a man who was prayerful, was always carrying his Bible and novenas, and would go to church each day. He was so knowledgeable in spiritual matters to that he would always have some nice and wonderful things to say when asked during discussions. Everyone would have high words for him in this. However, when the talk had something to do with poor, separated couples, people regarded as sinners, or with vices, etc., he would have nothing to say but words of condemnation and judgment. Our novenas, going to mass, religious devotions, and being well versed in Scripture are undoubtedly good, However, these things become empty and meaningless if we have no love for others. The real fruit which a person can bear is a life given to loving and concern for others. We can also be fruitful in our life if we try to bring souls to heaven. St. Therese of the Holy Child Jesus lived in a monastery but she tried to do something good and beneficial for others. Although her life inside appeared useless and meaningless yet she prayed and made sacrifices that many souls would go to heaven. She also prayed for missionaries so that she subsequently became the Patron of Mission. Even a life of contemplation and isolation can still be fruitful for His kingdom. Once there was a man who lived very far from the city. He had never been there in his live. For the first time he went to the city one Christmas day and there he saw the bright Christmas lights. He was so impressed by them that he decided to but some and brought them to his place. On arriving home, he hanged them on a tree. On the evening he gathered his neighbors that they might see what he was going to do. He switched on the lights but no light came out because there was no electricity there. Nobody had told him that there must be power for the lights to come out. We need some source of power for us to bear fruits in life. Jesus is one for us to be fruitful. We have to be linked to Him for us to be productive. Let us put Christ in our hearts so that it is no longer we who live but He who lives in us. If Christ is in us, we can do many good things for others and do no evil to others. One source of life or power for us in the Holy Eucharist which is Christ’s real presence – His body, blood, soul, and divinity. He said: “Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, you will not have life in you.” The Holy Eucharist is one way to be connected to Him if not remain in Him. That is why He said: “He who eats my flesh abides in me and I in him” Mayo 10- 16, 2009 5
