13th Sunday Ordinary Time Year C Luke 9
13th Sunday Ordinary Time Year C Luke 9
2006-2019 13 years ago since I responded to Christ invitation to the life of priesthood.
Following Jesus is an invitation, and that’s why we follow. Giving and receiving.
Background:
Gospel- events in the last period of Christ’s life (panahong inakyat si Jesus sa langit)
On the way to Jerusalem, passing Samaria
Samaritan territory before Jesus’ time- partly Jewish, partly Gentile
Invaded by Assyrians-deported Israelites, intermarries, adopted their
religion- pagan gods.
Children= impure, unaccepted by Jerusalem
Split----cycle of hate bet. Jews and Samaritans
In the Gospel:
Jesus is showing us--- Many wants to serve the Lord or serve in the church for the wrong
reasons.
So Jesus---shows us the virtues necessary for the apostolate- to serve the
Lord/the Church
We can see the hesitation of the apostles to pass the Samaritan territory…but Jesus is
determined to do the will of His Father….to redeem us from death and sin…the fulfillment
of Gods love to humanity.
Ipinapakita sa ebanghelyo at mga pagbasa kung paano ang maging tagasunod ni Kristo…
kung paano sumunod sa paanyaya ng Dios na maglingkod sa kapwa…
3. Katapatan o faithfulness--- ang sino man nais sumunod sa Dios…sa kanyang mga
utos o Gawain, ay dapat na faithful sa kanyang pangako…sa Dios o sa paglilingkod
sa simbahan.
Sabi nga…ang sino man nag aararo at palaging lumilingon ay hindi karapat-dapat sa
paghahari ng Dios…ang mga nanghihinayang sa mga bagay o tao na isasakripisyo…
At ano naman ang ating mapapala kung susundin natin ang itinuturo s ani Hesus
sa ebanghelyo???
