MY CHILD WHO ART ON EARTH: GOD'S RESPONSE TO THE "OUR FATHER"

-



My child who art on earth

busy, alone and tempted,

I know and pronounce your name.

I hallow it because I love you...

You will never be alone; I live in you

and together we will spread the kingdom of life

which is my gift to you.

I am pleased that you do my will,

in fact, I will only your happiness.

You will have your daily bread,

do not be disturbed;

but I ask you to share it with your brothers and sisters.

Know that I forgive all your sins

even before you commit them.

But I ask also that you forgive

those who offend you.

And so as not to fall into temptation

hold on strongly to my hand;

I will deliver you from evil,

my dearly beloved child.

ASH WEDNESDAY: MAY DUMI KA SA NOO!

BAKIT MAY DUMI KA SA NOO? Hindi iyan dumi, abo yan! Ang Ash Wednesday o Miyerkules ng Abo o Miercoles de Ceniza ay unang araw ng Panahon ng Kuwaresma para sa mga Kristiyano, panahon ng pagninilay at pagsasakripisyo bilang paghahanda sa Pasko ng Pagkabuhay ni Kristo. Nagpapalagay ang mga tao ng abo sa noo, sa anyo ng krus man o kahit guhit lamang, bilang paalala na nagmula sa abo at sa abo magbabalik (Gen. 3:19). Ang abo ay galing sa sinunog na mga palaspas na ginamit noong nakaraang Mahal na Araw. MGA KATOLIKO LANG BA ANG GUMAGAWA NIYAN? Noon iyon. Pero ngayon, lalo na sa ibang bansa, ang mga Kristiyano na sumusunod sa kalendaryo ng liturhiya ay may Ash Wednesday na rin – mga Metodista, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Lutheran, at iba pa. Sa Pilipinas, hindi pa masyado itong ginagawa ng mga Protestante. DAPAT BA MAGSIMBA BAGO MAGPALAGAY NG ABO? Hindi naman. May mga simbahan na naglalagay ng abo kahit hindi nagsimba ang mga tao. ...
