"Ang kalinong ginabilin Ko sa inyo; ang Akon kalinong mismo ginahatag Ko sa inyo"

Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Juan 14:27-31)

"Indi kamo magpalibog kag indi man kamo magkahadlok, tungod kay ang kalinong ginabilin ko sa inyo. Ang akon kalinong mismo ginahatag ko sa inyo, indi ini pareho sang kalinong nga ginahatag sang kalibutan.

Nabatian ninyo ang akon ginsiling sa inyo nga mahalin ako pero mabalik man ako sa inyo. Kon ginahigugma ninyo ako, kuntani nagakalipay kamo nga makakadto ako sa Amay nga mas gamhanan pa sang sa akon.

Ginasugid ko nga daan ini sa inyo samtang wala pa matabo, agod nga kon matabo na magabaskog pa gid ang inyo pagtuo sa akon.

Indi na ako makapadugay sa paghambal sa inyo, tungod kay nagaabot na si Satanas nga nagagahom sa mga tawo sang kalibutan. Wala siya sing gahom sa akon.

Pero agod mahibaluan sang tanan nga mga tawo nga ginahigugma ko ang Amay, ginasunod ko ang tanan nga iya ginapahimo sa akon. Dali na. Malakat na kita."

Prayers:

"Lord Jesus, may your peace be always with me. May no circumstance, trouble, or vexation rob me of the peace which passes all understanding. You, alone, O Lord, are my Peace. May I always reside in that peace by believing your word and by doing your will.”

Reflection of the Daily Gospel:

Do you know the peace which passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7)? In his farewell discourse Jesus grants peace as his gift to his disciples. What kind of peace does he offer? The peace of Christ is more than the absence of trouble. It includes everything which makes for our highest good. The world's approach to peace is avoidance of trouble and a refusal to face unpleasant things. Jesus offers the peace which conquers our fears and anxieties. Nothing can take us from the peace and joy of Jesus Christ. No sorrow or grief, no danger, no suffering can make it less. Jesus also speaks of his destination and ultimate triumph over the powers of evil in the world. In the eyes of the world the cross stood for shame, humiliation, and defeat. Jesus went to the cross knowing that it would lead to victory over the powers of sin and of Satan. Jesus also knew that he would return to his Father in glory. The cross brought glory to Jesus and to the Father and it is our way to glory as well. In the Cross of Christ we find true peace and reconciliation with God. Do you live in the peace of Jesus Christ?
