My Sunday Reflection

(October 03,2021-Sunday)

Happy Sunday Fellas. My Sunday is not that really bad today. Because, I am finally free. I mean we can go in Church already. Hows your day? This is the day that we waited for long. Why?

Here it is, last last month of the last week of August 2021. We experienced lock down and no movement in our city. So, our mayor declared that we must stayed at home and no movement in every Sundays. The cases in our area are increasing because, many people didn't follow the health protocols in our area. They just roaming around and gathered together. Haystttt. Anyway, keep safe and hows the cases in your area? I hope, everything will be okay and back to normal.

Last night, our parents told us that we must sleep around 11 PM because, we have our mass gathering in our GKK with father. Our schedule mass with priest or father in our GKK is on every first Sunday of the month and it will be always start at 10:oo in the morning.

But, sadly, around 7 AM. We have black out or brown out. And we don't have water to take a bath. lol. Of course, that's not the hindrance to continue our day to go in Church. My mom told us that we can use the 1 gallon of mineral water to wash our face. (Hati-hati lang, para mapagkasya)...Until 1 PM in the afternoon, still we don't have electricity.

Sometimes, in our life, there are unexpected things that may happen even we are already prepared to the things we want to do. But, if we are dedicated and we have faith in God and in ourselves, we must think what are the alternative things or way in order to go with the flow in life situation. They said that, "if gusto may paraan, if ayaw maraming dahilan". We should know how to overcome every situations in our life.

HOMILY OF FATHER(Sunday-October 03,2021)-Reflection

As far as I remember, the homily of father is all about the couples relationship. I can't remember the gospel verses but, I will try to search it. hehehe.

Reading 1, Genesis 2:18-24
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 128:1-2, 3, 4-5, 6
Gospel, Mark 10:2-16
Reading 2, Hebrews 2:9-11

(Gospel, Mark 10:2-16)_Some Pharisees approached him and asked, 'Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?' They were putting him to the test. 3 He answered them, 'What did Moses command you?' 4 They replied, 'Moses allowed us to draw up a writ of dismissal in cases of divorce.' 5 Then Jesus said to them, 'It was because you were so hard hearted that he wrote this commandment for you. 6 But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female. 7 This is why a man leaves his father and mother, 8 and the two become one flesh. They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh. 9 So then, what God has united, human beings must not divide.' 10 Back in the house the disciples questioned him again about this, 11 and he said to them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another is guilty of adultery against her. 12 And if woman divorces her husband and marries another she is guilty of adultery too.' 13 People were bringing little children to him, for him to touch them. The disciples scolded them, 14 but when Jesus saw this he was indignant and said to them, 'Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. 15 In truth I tell you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.' 16 Then he embraced them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.

As what father said that not all the couples are perfect. No couple or partner are perfect because, no man and woman are perfect. Tama din naman. He also said that even both of you are s sweet to each other, may tendency pa din na di kayo ang magkakatuluyan at the end. But, let's go back to the question above...

Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?

Of course not, as what we can read in the gospel..."Whoever divorces his wife and marries another is guilty of adultery against her. 12 And if woman divorces her husband and marries another she is guilty of adultery too". So, I know you already knew the answer. If you are already married, then, it means that you are in one. Pinag-isa na kayo ng Panginoon. So, if may problema man, sana ma ayos dahil may mga anak kayo. That was my reflection. I can't say na mag stay kayo sa partner niyo, but depende sa sitwasyon. Actually, I can't really answer it because, I am just 17 years old. hehe. Siguro mas alam niyo ang answer nito.

But, What do you think so? Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife? All the couples here, you can answer in the comment section.

Thank you so much and have a nice day.
