"Lakat kamo sa bug-os nga kalibutan kag iwali ang Maayong Balita sa tanan nga mga tawo"

Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Marcos 16:9-15)

Aga pa gid sang Domingo nabanhaw si Jesus. Una gid siya nagpakita kay Maria nga taga-Magdala nga iya gintabugan sang pito ka malaot nga espiritu.

Dayon ginkadtuan ni Maria ang mga sumulunod ni Jesus nga nagakasubo kag nagahilibion, kag ginsugiran niya sila.

Pero wala sila nagpati sa iya ginsugid nga buhi si Jesus kag nagpakita sa iya.

Pagkatapos sadto, nagpakita si Jesus sa lain nga dagway sa iya duha ka sumulunod sang nagapakadto sila sa uma.

Gani nagbalik sa Jerusalem ining duha ka sumulunod kag ginsugiran nila ang iban nga mga kaupod nila nga si Jesus nagpakita sa ila, pero wala man sila nagpati.

Sang ulihi nagpakita naman si Jesus sa onse ka apostoles sang nagakaon sila. Ginsabdong niya sila tungod nga wala sila sing pagtuo kag tungod sang katig-a sang ila mga tagipusuon, kay wala sila nagpati sa ginsugid sang mga nakakita sa iya sa tapos siya nabanhaw.

Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, "Lakat kamo sa bug-os nga kalibutan kag iwali ang Maayong Balita sa tanan nga mga tawo.

Prayers:

"Lord Jesus Christ, increase my faith and hope in the power of your resurrection. And give me joy and courage to be your witness to others and to boldly speak of what you have done to save us from sin and death."

Reflection of the Daily Gospel: 

The first to see the risen Lord was not Peter or one of the apostles, but a woman noted for her demonized living! She had been forgiven much, and loved her Master greatly. She was first at the tomb to pay her respects. Unfortunately for the disciples, they would not believe her account of the Risen Master. Jesus had to scold his apostles because of their unbelief and stubborn hearts. Are you like the apostles or like Mary – slow to believe or quick to run to Jesus? Do you doubt because you do not see? The Lord makes his presence known to us through the work of the Holy Spirit. He gives us the gift of faith to know him personally and to understand the mystery of his death and rising. Do you believe his word and do you listen to his voice?

After his appearance to his beloved apostles, Jesus commissions them to go and preach the gospel to the whole creation. Their task is to proclaim the good news of salvation, not only to the people of Israel, but to all the nations. This is the great commission which the risen Christ gives to the whole church. All believers have been given a share in this task – to be heralds of the good news and ambassadors for Jesus Christ, the only savior of the world. We have not been left alone in this task, for the risen Lord works in and through us by the power of his Holy Spirit. Do you witness to others the joy of the gospel and the hope of the resurrection?
