Vidal urges families to stay, pray together

-

Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal has urged the faithful to stay and pray together in order to conquer evil and temptation.

In his homily during yesterday’s dawn Mass at the Holy Family Parish in Maguikay, Mandaue City, Vidal said families should always bond together and be like the Holy Family that is bonded by love and prayer. 

Vidal said he chose the Holy Family Parish in Maguikay as venue to celebrate the Mass as it has more families than the Holy Family Parish in Lapaz, Bogo City.

Vidal said any member of the family who had not followed the right path should not be forsaken but should be taught and encouraged to do what is right instead.

“For Jesus did not choose who His parents would be, nor did He choose who would he save from. He chose to save us and deliver us sinners from evil,” he said.

“Sa ato pa sa iyang pagpanghukom nga luwason niya ang kalibutan sa sala, wala siya mag-agad sa kaayo ug kabuotan sa tawo. Pagbuot niya nga luwason niya ang tanan,” he added.

He also called on families to always go to the church together and to always put God and Jesus at the center of all things.

“Sama unta ni Jesus, kinahanglan usab nga anha kita sa balay sa Ginoo. Hinaut unta nga atubangan sa Belen o alirong sa Christmas tree o ubos sa parol, si Jesus gayud maoy isipon nga labing mahal nga Christmas gift nga mahatag ug madawat sa matag amahan, inahan ug anak sa tibuok gayod nga panimalay,” Vidal added. — Jasmin R.
