Ash Wednesday
Hello bloggers,
Kakasimba ko lang kaya ishashare ko sa inyo ang homily ni Bishop Kurtz. PAF. Prayerful, Almsgiving at Fasting. Heto raw ang mga dapat nating maachieve ngayong lent.
Prayerful - siguro puwede nating gawin ay maglaan ng time na magbasa ng bible, magrosary at ibang ways na mapapalago natin ang ating relationship kay God. Maaari rin tayong magsimba maliban sa Sunday masses at umattend ng mga station of the cross.
Almsgiving - maging bukas pa lalo ang ating mga puso para sa mga nangangailangan. Akala natin ang mga needy ay iyong mga nasa kalsada lang pero sa loob ng mga tahanan natin nandoon ang mga kapamilya nating nangangailangan ng ating panahon para pakinggan sila sa masasaya o malulungkot na kuwento ng kanilang buhay. Nariyan din ang ating mga kamag-anak na nanghihiram ng excess money natin. Let's open our eyes.
Fasting - hindi lang ito kabaligtaran ng fast eating. Pagbabawas din ito ng mga kinahuhumalingan nating bagay gaya ng pagbrowse ng friendster, palagiang pagtetext, chocolates, chips, telephone at kung anu-ano pa. Kapag napagtiisan nating bawasan ang mga ito sa loob ng 40 days, ibig sabihin makocontrol din natin ang ating mga sarili sa paggawa ng kasalanan. Mahirap gawin pero mabuti na rin kung susubukan.
Kung ako ang tatanungin niyo, magbabawas ako ng oras sa pag-iinternet at gagamitin ko sa makabuluhang bagay gaya ng pagbablog in 40 days.
Excerpt from wikipedia at ewtn:
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. "Remember (O man) that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Matthew 6: 1 - 6, 16 - 18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 "Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
5 "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
16 "And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

May mga nagtataka dahil nga hindi naman ako ang tipo na nagbablog ng makabuluhan. Kenkoy kasi pagkakakilala sa akin. Isipin niyo na lang na ibang Shiela gumagawa ng mga blogs. Hindi si Shiela na maraming flaws. hehehe.
Sabi nga sa LNP: Kapag may dyaryo raw sa gate mo na idineliver sa iyo, hindi na mahalaga kung sino ang nagbigay ng dyaryo, ang mahalaga ay iyong nilalaman ng dyaryo. Kagaya rin ng mga blogs ko, hindi na mahalaga kung si Shiela ang nagsulat, ang mahalaga ay iyong mensahe ng isinulat. Arriba!
