0:00 The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Reading from the holy gospel according to John. Glory Glory to you oh Lord. As the Jewish Passover was near Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple precincts he came upon people engaged in selling oxen, sheep and oats. And others seated changing coins. He made a kind of whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple area.
0:48 Sheep and oxen alike and knocked over the money changers tables spilling their coins. He He told those who were selling doves get them out of here. Stop turning my father's house into a marketplace. His disciples recalled the words of scripture zeal for for your house consumes me. At this the Jews responded what sign can you show us authorizing you to do these things?
1:37 Destroy this temple was Jesus answer and in three days I will raise it up. They retorted this temple took 46 years to build and you are going to raise it up in three days? Actually he was talking about the temple of his body. Only after Jesus had been raised from the dead did his disciples recall that he said that he had said this and come to believe the scripture and
2:24 the word he had spoken. The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. Come Holy Spirit bless this unworthy priest that I may share with humility and with the heart and that all people who listen listen with the Holy Spirit in their hearts. Come Holy Spirit come.
3:10 Sisters and brothers you who came here today thank you for the sacrifice for the love in your hearts and all you who joined us online as we speak the cruel storm is raging. What can we do? We as a nation we prepare we pray and we hope.
3:56 This is our battle cry. We can go through anything because our faith overcomes our fears. Let's just bow our heads and pray. Just pray to this loving God of ours who is with us in the storm in the typhoon. Lord our boat is so small the ocean is so big the waves are so tall
4:43 but Lord help us. We are afraid. Please help us because we are helpless. But you are with us. We have our faith. We know and believe you will never leave us. You are with us in the boat. You are with us always and in all ways.
5:30 Please remember this. That lasts forever. Everything is just passing by. And please don't forget God is with us in the storm. Whatever storm of life we go through. A simple prayer when you were children now we're praying rain rain go away. Come again some other day.
6:25 One One One go away. Come again. Don't come again please. Go away. These are the real hopes and dreams and we can tell them to God. And you know why we're talking like this? Because aside from ourselves you and I feel what is happening to our brothers and sisters. We pray as one. If at this time
7:14 feeling lucky me. So don't feel lucky me. I don't know my sweaty. You are not praying as one. We pray as one and say Lord please help our land. Maybe you are not affected >> [snorts] >> personally because you have everything secured safe car but my key is a good tayo. Pray. Okay lang stay casion na lang kami relax during the
8:00 my key is a good tayo lahat. It's our country. Number two When you start blaming other people you don't even realize Lord So don't feel lucky me at sila kasi. That's the worst prayer we have. We say Lord as a nation we come before you begging for
8:47 forgiveness. We have sinned against mother nature. As the forecast northern Luzon but somehow somehow will stop or lessen the typhoon and the storm. See mother nature we have sinned against mother nature. We ask for justice Lord. You know
9:36 We know God knows. Safe bus ela. God knows everything. And sisters and brothers let this be a time for all of us for cleansing. Cleansing po. Every time we have sickness, sufferings, even natural calamities, we are all cleansed. The Lord cleansed the temple. Among negativities nothing. Lord, cleanse us of our marketplace
10:23 mindset. We don't learn our lessons. It's really just for profits. You don't apply the marketplace mentality in your life. The Lord keeps reminding us all. Love one another. Sacrifice. Go out of your way. Go the extra mile. Give the extra smile.
11:11 Cleanse us, Lord, of our selfishness and our pride. Today, this moment, let's say a prayer. We are all sinners. We come before God as that typhoon approaches us. Lord, have mercy on me. Have mercy on us, sinners. And Lord, thank you for loving us, even if we are sinners. Father God, you have given us so much, but we have never given you enough.
11:58 You have always gone out of your way for us, but we stay in the road of comfort and stay on the bed of complacency. You have given up your life. Me? We? What have we given up? What have we really sacrificed? Thank you, Lord, for loving us, sinners. Thank you for not giving up on us, sinners. Sisters and brothers,
12:44 we continue to be one. We don't know how things will go, but please remember, we have faith and we have each other. We'll be okay. By the way, may we find God in every storm we go through. Sometimes God goes through these things, but I'm here. You're forgetting me.
13:36 Uh by the way, if I'm not mistaken, Baguio starts with a Correct me if I'm wrong. a weather disturbance, right? weather disturbance. Not a Christian. LPA low pressure area. depression storm super typhoon
14:22 As we look at our lives, disturbance in your family, you're the community disturbance, your family disturb You become the national disturbance. Oh, number two, analogy continue. low pressure
15:10 You call by your community pressure. You call. You call on national pressure. National pressure in Philippines. depression You put people down. family depressor in the depressor depression in the community You have become the national depression. Then Baguio. Are you equal by
16:01 husband and wife? Ask each other. Sometimes, yes. Yeah. So, why do we make become Are you the Baguio in the community? Baguio in the Philippines? National Baguio? Sisters and brothers, these are all reflection. And are you the super typhoon? By the way, the word typhoon comes from two uh Chinese words. I don't know the
16:46 Chinese exactly, but I know the Korean. I have to consult Father Casimiro here, SVD, from Poland. And let's welcome him, Father Casimiro. And uh you know, we were in Korea together, 1985. Coming now on among Filipino, Father Rick Dumas, Paul Byrne. And then a few months later, two Polish priests joined us in Korea, young, newly ordained, handsome priests. Father Casimiro and Father Adam. And one of the things we learned in Korea is what is typhoon.
17:33 There home. There is big. The Chinese character there big. Home is wind. There home. big wind You call by home there home. You call on the Messiah. You destroy. You create havoc. Maybe that's one of the things we offer to the Lord. Lord, help me not to be the reason that people are disturbed, that people are depressed, that I have become a pressure to them. I become a storm, a typhoon to other people.
18:20 I hope we don't become a national typhoon to other people. So, we learn. Sisters and brothers, may I invite us all now just to bow our heads. You know, when a child is afraid, the child runs to the mother. But when the child is in danger, it is the mother who runs to the child and embraces the child. Mama Mary, at this point in time,
19:05 we ask your help, also, as we go through this typhoon and through all the typhoons of our lives. Stay with us, Mother Mary. So, one Hail Mary with love. Today, we offer and we pray. In our helplessness, we just turn to the Lord, turn to our mother. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.
19:52 Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Sisters and brothers, It's just passing. Let me end with a driver's prayer. A simple prayer was all in the jeepneys in the '60s, '70s to remind us, "Grant me, oh Lord, a steady hand,
20:38 a watchful eye, so that no one will be hurt as I pass by." As we pass by through life, we don't hurt people. We don't steal from people. Don't be a typhoon. Please tell the person beside you,
21:24 Amen. And Amen. >> [music] [music]
