Reflection:

Are you sometimes too inquisitive about the things that do not
even concern you? Peter in our gospel is like that, too curious
about things that does not even concern him. Why did Peter
ask about the beloved disciple?  

We don’t know what was going on in peter’s mind when he

asked about John the beloved disciple of Jesus. But one thing
was sure during that time: Peter was not paying attention to
the instruction of Jesus to follow Him.  MUKHA YATANG DI
NAKIKINIG SI PEDRO SA INSTRUCTION NI HESUS..

(APPLICATION NA) If we decide to follow Jesus, let us not be

nosy (MAUSISA) about the lives of others in the parish. Or even
the lives of our neighbors; let us rather focus on our very own
life or family. Many troubles start from our being intrusive with
the lives of others and misunderstanding and quarrels may start
from it.  

Therefore, let us focus solely on our own lives. Let others live
their own lives in peace without us (PAKIKIALAM O TSISMIS
MARITES) meddling or gossiping. Instead of wasting our time
meddling or talking about the lives of others which bring us no
good. 

Let us use our time and energy on thinking of how we can

further improve our personal lives. And on thinking of ways on
how we can focus more on our desire to silently follow Jesus.
