5th Sunday of Easter (C) Homily

5th Sunday of Easter (C) Homily

maayong gabie sa tanan! 
"STORY OF A ONE-EYED MOTHER"

ang atong ebanghelyo karun nagahisgut mahitungod sa gugma...dili ni sama sa gugma nga nakita nato ilang Kim Chiu ug Gerald sa salida nga 'paano na kaya'(mahal mo ba ako o mahalaga lang ako sayo)  Piolo o Claudine(mahal mo ba ako dahil kailangan mo ako o kailangan mo ako dahil mahal mo ako)....CONDITIONAL LOVE TANAN!
atong gihisgutan nga gugma mao ang AGAPAIC...greek word sa love 'AGAPE' meaning self-sacrificing unselfish and unselective.   the love of Jesus is not conditional love...it does not say 'i will love you basta ma honor ka' or 'i will love you basta palitan ko nimo ug car yung red ha'
the love of Jesus also is not merited love..it never says,'i love you because you are kind, faithfull etc.'  rather Jesus' love is one initiates and offers freely...(apostles)he loved them inspite of their lack of faith, he continued to love them even after they have abandoned, denied, or betrayed him. Jesus love them not because they were lovable but because he possessed within himself the love of the Father who loves the unlovale and takes the first move in loving us.
ang pangutana karun....HOW DO WE LOVE? kasagaran we express our love by giving gifts...sama ani nga istorya sa 4 ka magsuon....
1st anak: gitukoran ug balay iyang mama
2nd anak: sinehan sa sulod sa balay
3rd anak: mercedez benz
4th anak: parrot($1mil.)
usa ka higayun...ilang mama nagpadala ug sulat sa ilang 4...
1st:dako kaayo ang balay oi...dako pud ako limpyuhanan....salamat
2nd:tigulang naku para mag laroylaroy..busa wala naku nagamit ang car.
3rd:patay na tanan akong mga ka berks ug bungol2x napud ko ug hanap2x nasad..wala naku nagamit ang sinehan.
4:anak ikaw rajud ang naay good sense to give a little thought to your gift...the chicken was delicious...thank you...
external gifts can be symbolic of our love but essentially love can only be effectively expressed through the gift of self.  our model in loving is Jesus Himself...He instruct us to love us....Jesus has given us not just any other gift but the gift of Himself.   he offered his life on the cross thae day after he instructed his disciples of his commandment to love.  the love commanded by Jesus to his disciples seems very dificult if we depend only on our own strenght, we would not be able to love the way Jesus loves.  but if we sincerely intend to love, God will provide the grace that will transform our hearts and make them like the heart of his son.
'STORY SA GUGMA SA INAHAN'.AMEN!
