mga pagbasa kuman, huwebes

Si Onesimo, isa ka suluguon sanan priso na Hentil pa, sanan si Filemon, amo ni Onesimo na Hudeo, tagdaya ni Pablo patunong sa Ginoo.

An isa dila an suluguon na arang ka pobre, si Onesimo, sanan an isa, arang sab ka dato, amo ni Onesimo, amoy nagpalit didja para himoon sidja na binatunan, si Filemon.

Pero parehas sila duha, wayay pili, tag-agak ni Pablo, tag-evangelize nidja para mahisuod sa Ginoo.

Misteryoso si Pablo kay nahimo man nidja pag-daya an lain-lain an taggikanan na mga tawo patunong sa ato Ginoo.

May bertud seguro sidja na nakita nan duha kay nadani man sila sa mga pulong ni Pablo sanan mahamok pa man gani an idja nacomberter pagka-Kristiyano nan idja pagpanlangyaw para maghatud nan maradjaw na balita.

An pinaka-importante dinhi na sa tanan nidja taghimo para sa Gingharian nan Diyos, permi sidja giniyahan nan Espiritu Santo na kaibanan nidja sa tanan oras nan idja kinabuhi.

Mahimo man sab seguro nato na makadani nan mga tawo patunong sa ato Ginoo kon ato sab ipangaliya sa Diyos na giyahan kita nan Idja Espiritu para makahimo kita nan mga butang na gusto Nidja ipahimo sa ato.

Maradjaw seguro kon probahan sab nato, sugdan na nato kuman, an pagsangyaw nan mga maradjaw na balita nan Ginoo, basi ra sab kita tuohan nan iban na mga tawo.

Lord, itanom sa ako pagkatawo na makahimo ako pagdaya nan iban na mga tawo nadto sa Imo gingharian, Amen.

readings for today, thursday

Onesimus, a slave and a prisoner who is also a Gentile, and Philemon, the master and owner of Onesimus and a Jew, were led by Paul to the Lord.

Onesimus, a very poor slave who was sold to Philemon and a prisoner is very much of an opposite to Philemon, a very rich Jew who bought Onesimus for a slave.

But they both accepted the invitaton to become Christians and be near to God through the evangelization of Paul.

Paul must be mysterious because he was able to lead these two persons of different social status to our God.

He must have a virtue in him because they were persuaded to listen to him and even as he went around, he was able to convert many people to Christianity as he announced the good news of salvation.

The most important thing in what he did for the Kingdom of God is that the Holy Spirit was always with him all the time to guide him in everything that he did.

We can also do our own evangelization as commanded to us if we ask God that He send His Spirit to us so that we can do the things that He wants us to do for His glory.

Why don't we try to start now to spread the good news of our Lord to others!

Lord, implant in my heart the courage that I need so that I can lead other people to Your kingdom, Amen.
