Cash assistance sa Tres de Abril

CEBU, Philippines - Alang niadtong wala sukad makadawat sa cash assistance, ang pagpanghatag niini, himuon karong Abril 3, Martes, anha sa Plaza Sugbu. Matud ni Jhun Villahermosa, sa OSCA Secretariat adunay mga 892 ka senior citizens ang nahitala sa payroll alang ning maong katuyoan. Ug lagmit kadungagan pa ang maong gidaghanon, tapus mahingpit ang paghikay sa payroll.

Ug yuna pa, Semana Santa man, maayo tingali mohunong ta makadiyot, let’s pause for a while, atong hatagan ang atong kaugalingon nga makapamalandong, and perhaps, makapahinuklog ug makapangayo’g pasaylo sa mga kasal-anan nga atong nahimo.

Gikan kini sa libreto ni Fr. Anthony J. Paone, S.J., “My Daily Bread,” a summary of the spiritual life. Angay hinumdoman nga ma-walay bili ug ma-walay kahulogan ang Easter Sunday, kun dili mahitukma ang atong pag-observe sa Lent. Reflect on these, paminawa, hinuktoki, ug puy-i kining mga Pulong ni Jesus, nakigsulti Siya kanimo:   

l How can you find fault with others, you who are so full of faults yourself. Unless it is your duty to correct others, think more of your own faults than that of other people’s faults. Get to work and correct your own faults. You will then be too busy to be annoyed by the faults of others.

l Refuse to be a slave of anything on earth. Love Me and My Will more than all else. Let no human being nor earthly satisfaction mean so much to you that you would sin for them.

l Riches, honor, praise, admiration, power and superiority over others, or whatever else may attract you on earth, all of these things must one day pass away. Why be interested in what you are sure to lose?

l   Many pursue an imaginary happiness. When they get what they want, they soon find out that it does not bring them the joy which they expected. They gradually tire of it and the search for happiness is on again.

l   One who runs away from the cross is only running toward another cross, perhaps a heavier one. There is no other road to Heaven except the way of the cross. No man can escape his cross. Do not fear the cross. I shall help you to bear it. 

l The man whose main interests are on earth, does not know the meaning of true peace. His joys are temporary and rapidly passing. No person or thing on earth can fully satisfy the thirst within your soul.

Ug aniay nindot kaayo nga pag-ampo: Lord Jesus, since Your way is narrow and despised by the world, grant me the privilege of walking this way unafraid of the hardship and unaffected by the contempt worldly people. (BANATNEWS)
