"Ang mga palaligban sang pangabuhi nagalumos sang mensahi"

Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Mateo 13:18-23)

“Gani, pamatii ninyo kag tun-i kon ano ang kahulogan sang palaanggiran nahanungod sang manugsab-og.

Ang mga nagapamati sang mensahi nahanungod sang Ginharian pero wala makahangop, kaangay sila sang binhi nga nagtupa sa alagyan. Nagaabot ang Yawa kag nagaagaw sang ginsab-og sa ila tagipusoon.

Ang binhi nga nagtupa sa batuhon nga duta amo ang mga nagapamati kag nagabaton sing malipayon sang pulong.

Pero wala ini nagatudok kag nagadugay sa ila. Gani kon mag-abot ang kapipit-an ukon paghingabot tungod sang mensahi nagabiya sila gilayon.

Ang binhi nga nagtupa sa mga talungon amo ang nagapamati sang mensahi, pero ang mga palaligban sang pangabuhi, kag ang paghigugma sang manggad nagalumos sang mensahi, kag wala ini nagapamunga.

Ang binhi nga nagtupa sa maayo nga duta, amo ang mga nagapamati sang mensahi kag nagahangop sini. Nagapatubas sila sing 100 ka pilo, ang iban 60 ka pilo, kag ang iban 30 ka pilo.” 

Prayers:

"Lord Jesus, help me to guard the word you have planted in my heart that no doubt or temptation may keep me from believing and obeying you. May I be fruitful in your service and may I never fear to speak of you to others and to share with them the good news of the gospel."

Reflection of the Daily Gospel:

How good are you at listening, especially for the word of God? God is ever ready to speak to each of us and to give us understanding of his word. This parable of Jesus is a warning to those who hear and who preach the word of God. What makes us ineffective and unresponsive to God's word? Preoccupation with other things can distract us from what is truly important and worthwhile. And letting our hearts and minds be consumed with material things can easily weigh us down and draw us away from the treasure that lasts for eternity. God's word can only take root in a receptive heart which is docile and ready to hear what God has to say. One lesson is clear: the harvest is sure.While some seed will fall by the wayside and some fall on shallow ground and never come to maturity, and some be choked to death by the thorns; nonetheless a harvest will come. The seed that falls on good soil, on the heart that is receptive, will reap abundant fruit. Are you teachable and eager to learn God's truth? And do you allow anything to keep you from submitting to God's word with joy and trusting obedience?
