CATHOLIC FAITH:
Feastday: October 18
Luke, the writer of the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, has been identified with St. Paul's "Luke, the beloved physician" (Colossians 4:14). We know few other facts about Luke's life from Scripture and from early Church historians. It is believed that Luke was born a Greek and a Gentile. In Colossians 10-14 speaks of those friends who are with him. He first mentions all those "of the circumcision" -- in other words, Jews -- and he does not include Luke in this group. Luke's gospel shows special sensitivity to evangelizing Gentiles. It is only in his gospel that we hear the parable of the Good Samaritan, that we hear Jesus praising the faith of Gentiles such as the widow of Zarephath and Naaman the Syrian (Lk.4:2527), and that we hear the story of the one grateful leper who is a Samaritan (Lk.17:11-19). According to the early Church historian Eusebius Luke was born at Antioch in Syria.

Patron: Physician and Surgeons


So Luke first joined Paul's company at Troas at about the year 51 and accompanied him into Macedonia where they traveled first to Samothrace, Neapolis, and finally Philippi. Luke then switches back to the third person which seems to indicate he was not thrown into prison with Paul and that when Paul left Philippi Luke stayed behind to encourage the Church there. Seven years passed before Paul returned to the area on his third missionary journey. In Acts 20:5, the switch to "we" tells us that Luke has left Philippi to rejoin Paul in Troas in 58 where they first met up. They traveled together through Miletus, Tyre, Caesarea, to Jerusalem. filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty" (Luke 1:52-53). Luke also has a special connection with the women in Jesus' life, especially Mary. It is only in Luke's gospel that we hear the story of the Annunciation, Mary's visit to Elizabeth including the Magnificat, the Presentation, and the story of Jesus' disappearance in Jerusalem. It is Luke that we have to thank for the Scriptural parts of the Hail Mary: "Hail Mary full of grace" spoken at the Annunciation and "Blessed are you and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus" spoken by her cousin Elizabeth. Forgiveness and God's mercy to sinners is also of first importance to Luke. Only in Luke do we hear the story of the Prodigal Son welcomed back by the overjoyed father. Only in Luke do we hear the story of the forgiven woman disrupting the feast by washing Jesus' feet with her tears. Throughout Luke's gospel, Jesus takes the side of the sinner who wants to return to God's mercy. Reading Luke's gospel gives a good idea of his character as one who loved the poor, who wanted the door to God's kingdom opened to all, who respected women, and who saw hope in God's mercy for everyone. The reports of Luke's life after Paul's death are conflicting. Some early writers claim he was martyred, others say he lived a long life. Some say he preached in Greece, others in Gaul. The earliest tradition we have says that he died at 84 Boeotia after settling in Greece to write his Gospel. A tradition that Luke was a painter seems to have no basis in fact. Several images of Mary appeared in later centuries claiming him as a painter but these claims were proved false. Because of this tradition, however, he is considered a patron of painters of pictures and is often portrayed as painting pictures of Mary. He is often shown with an ox or a calf because these are the symbols of sacrifice - the sacrifice Jesus made for all the world. Luke is the patron of physicians and surgeons.

Luke is the loyal comrade who stays with Paul when he is imprisoned in Rome about the year 61: "Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers" (Philemon 24). And after everyone else deserts Paul in his final imprisonment and sufferings, it is Luke who remains with Paul to the end: In our day, it would be easy to assume "Only Luke is with me" (2 Timothy 4:11). that someone who was a doctor was rich, Luke's inspiration and information for but scholars have argued that Luke might his Gospel and Acts came from his close have been born a slave.

We know nothing about his conversion but looking at the language of Acts we can see where he joined Saint Paul. The story of the Acts is written in the third person, as an historian recording facts, up until the sixteenth chapter. In Acts 16:8-9 we hear of Paul's company "So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us.' " Then suddenly in 16:10 "they" becomes "we": "When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them."

servants of the word, I too decided, after investigating everything carefully from the very first, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus" (Luke 1:1-3). Luke's unique perspective on Jesus can be seen in the six miracles and eighteen parables not found in the other gospels. Luke's is the gospel of the poor and of social justice. He is the one who tells the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man who ignored him. Luke is the one who uses "Blessed are the poor" instead of "Blessed are the poor in spirit" in the beatitudes. Only in Luke's gospel do we hear Mary 's Magnificat where she proclaims that God "has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has

Karunungan:
Nakapanood ka na ba ng Circus? Lubhang nakakamangha ang mga taong dooy nagpapalabas tulad ng isang grupo na nagmula sa bansang China. Kahangahanga ang galing ng mga sirkero o acrobat na nagpapalipat-lipat sa mga lubid na nakabitin. Habang ang mga duyan ay mabilis na umiindayog pataas, pababa at ang mga manonood naman ay abut-abot sa pagpipigil sa kanilang paghinga sa panonood. Lalo kapag tumalon na ang sirkero upang abutin ang isa pang lubid, naku po, nakakalipat din naman sila sa takdang bilang. Mahabang panahon ang ginugugol nila sa pageensayo kaya naman sanay na sanay sila sa gawaing ito. Nakakalipat sila sa ibang duyan na alam nilang nandoon ang iba pa nilang mga kasamahan na naghihintay upang salubungin ang kanilang mga kamay. Isa sa mga nakakatakot at pinakamahirap gawin ng isang baguhang sirkero ay ang bitiwan ang duyan na kanyang kinakapitan. Bagamat kabado ngunit alam niyang sa kanyang pagbagsak ay hindi siya maaano dahil mayroong net na sa kanya ay sasalo. Kahit yaong mga pumapalpak sa paglipat sa ibang duyan ay doon din ang bagsak. Ano kaya ang pinakamahalagang bagay para sa iyo, sa bawat isa sa atin? Palagi ba itong nasa iyong tabi at kasa-kasama? Tayo naman ay dapat ding matuto ng kasanayang iwan ang ilang bagay-bagay sa ating buhay. Tayong lahat ay tinatawag na iwan ang ating mga gawi at kaugalian na nagsilbi na ng kanilang layon at ating napatunayan ang epekto nito sa atin at ngayoy kailangan nang baguhin. Tayoy tinatawag na iwan o kalimutan ang mga tao at ugnayan na nagkaroon ng kahalagahan sa ating mga buhay. Sa bawat sandaling gawin natin ang ganitong pag-iwan o paglimot, ating mararanasan ang biyaya ng kapayapaan buhat sa ating Panginoon. Oo, sapagkat ito ang inialok ni Jesus

Bro. Allan Rodriguez handog ng kapayapaan: ang kaligtasan, ang kabuluhan, kaisahan, kasama ang Diyos at ang lahat ng nilalang. Ang kapayapaang ito ay nakabatay sa presensiya ni Jesus na nananahan sa ating mga puso. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga salita nagpapahiwatig, hindi lamang ng katiyakan kundi ng paghamon din sa buhay na ito. Kanyang itinagubilin, Magmahalan kayo! Ang nagmamahal ay nangangahulugan ng pag-iwan ng anumang bagay-bagay sa ating buhay. Subalit, ang paglimot dito ay hindi naman nangangahulugang wala na tayong pagpapahalaga sa iba. Ang tanging kahulugan nito ay ang katotohanang hindi natin maisasabuhay ang kanilang mga buhay na para sa kanila rin. Natutuhan natin ang mga aral na ito nang paulit-ulit sa ating pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay. Halimbawa, hayaan natin ang ating pamilya at kaibigan na matuto ng kanilang pagakakamali sa halip na pagtakpan sila o di kayay pananagutin sa kanilang mga ginawa. Hayaan natin ang mga bata na mamuhay ng kanilang sariling katauhan kaysa ipagawa sa kanila ang ating nabigong mga pangarap. Malimit tayong tinatawag na iwan o limutin ang isang tao o bagay na mabuti upang atin naming matuklasan ang bagay na mas higit na mabuti. Ang ganitong paglimot ay nangangailangan ng pagtitiwala. Kailangan nating palaging paalalahanan na ang pinagmulan ng ating buhay bilang Kristiyano, kasama rito ang mga kaloob ng Banal na Espiritu. Karamihan sa atin, takot na iwan at limutin ang mga bagay-bagay na nagmumula sa ating takot na mamatay. Kailangan nating mamatay sa ating mga sarili upang sa ganoon ay ang Panginoong JesuKristo ang siyang mabuhay sa ating mga katauhan. Sa pamamagitan niya ay hindi natin dapat na ikatakot pagkawala ng isang bagay na mabuti, ang buhay na ito, para sa isang bagay na higit na mabuti, ang buhay na walang hanggan. Amen!

SANAYSAY atbp.
Kuwento ni Kathy Hermie Garrobo May nakilala akong Pinay kanina sa Hyewa. Kakilala siya ng isang nakilala ko sa simbahan. Ismarte, maporma, sigurado sa sarili. Kuwento niya di niya kinaliligtaan magsimba ng Linggo bastat puwede. Eto daw kasi ang pasasalamat niya sa Diyos at ang nagpapatatag sa kanya dito sa Korea. Naikuwento niya rin sa akin na di daw suya nakatuntong ng kolehiyo. Kasi hindi ako magaling e, tuloy pa niya. Napansin kong nalungkot siya nung binanggit niya iyon. sa Korea, kumikita, nakakapagpadala ng pera sa pamilya. Ni wala nga akong narinig mula sa kanya na paninisi o panunumbat sa mga magulang, sa lipunan o sa gobyerno, na madalas kong gawin. Kaya ang sabi ko sa kanya Alam mo, mas magaling ka pa nga kesa sa ibang mga nakapagtapos e. Marami sa mga graduates nakatambay lang ngayon. Walang trabaho. At malayong mas malaki kinikita mo kaysa sa maraming mga college graduates sa atin. bagay na itinuro sa at natutununan ng mga Pilipino sa paaralan kung paano maging matatag sa pagsubok, kung paano magpursige kahit mahirap, at kung paano maging mas malapit sa Diyos sa gitna ng mga alinlangan. Kung ako ang tatanungin, cum laude material si Kathy. Isang mabuting halimbawa sa mga kabataang Pinoy na nangangarap maging matagumpay sa buhay. Binigyan ako ni Kathy ng inspirasyon. Ang inspirasyon na magpursige, magpakatatag, at patuloy na manalig sa Diyos. Gusto kong maging katulad ni Kathy na marunong sa buhay. Sanay mas marami pang Pilipino ang matutunan ang mga ito ang tumayo sa sariling paa, magpursige at magtagumpay. Siya nawa.

Palagay koy marami ring mga Pinoy ang tulad ni Kathy. Hindi man makakuha ng mataas na marka sa pamantasan, Deans Lister naman pagdating sa UL (University of Life). Kung ako ang Naiisip ko, hindi totoong hindi siya tatanungin, matalino si Kathy. magaling. Humanga ako sa kanya. kasi Marunong sa buhay. May diskarte. kahit di siya nakapagtapos, nandito siya Naisip ko pa nga, ito dapat ang mga TAKIP-SILIM ni Bro. Joel Tavarro napakahirap harapin ang mundo lalo na kapag walang kaakibat na tapang? Marahil isa ito sa kapamaraanan ng Diyos upang tayo ay hubugin at dalhin sa landas na Kanyang inihanda para sa atin. Tayong mga EPS, noong dalhin tayo sa lugar na ito, ang bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang misyon: ang maiahon ang pamilya sa kahirapan. Tayo man ay nagtitiyaga at nagpapakahirap sa pagtatrabaho dito sa Korea. Minsan nang sumikat sa buhay natin ang umaga. Kaya marapat lamang na huwag nating aksayahin ang bawat sandali. Gumawa tayo ng mabuti at kapaki-pakinabang sa kapwa. Sikaping magkaroon ng kabuluhan ang lahat ng ating ginagawa bago pa man darating ang takip-silim ng kapalaran. Mahabang panahon na rin ang tatlong taon na inilagi at madagdagan pa muli ng panibagong dalawang taon ang ilan. Masasabing masuwerte ang makapagtrabaho dito sa Korea sa kabila ng milyon din ang walang maayos na hanap-buhay sa ating bayan at walang makain. Marami na rin ang may sapat na ipon o nakuntento na lamang sa nakamit nilang biyaya. Anut-ano pa man sa huli, tayong lahat ay muling magbabalik sa lupang ating sinilangan, ang Pilipinas.

Sumisikat ang haring araw sa umaga at naghahasik ito ng enerhiya sa buong daigdig. Gayundin naman ang buwan na kahalili niya sa pagbibigay ng liwanag sa kadiliman at silbing tanglaw sa malalim na gabi. Muling dudungaw ang araw pagsapit ng bukang-liwayway. Katulad ng binhi ng palay, ito ay ipinunla, matiyagang itinanim ng magsasaka kahit sa katirikan ng araw at sa takdang panahon ito man ay aanihin. Gayun din sa buhay ng tao, ang lahat ay paikot-ikot lamang. May umaalis at may dumarating upang humalili o pumalit. Kung bakit kapag dumarating na ang ganoong sandali ay tila napakahirap tanggapin. Masakit kapag nawala ang nakasanayang kasama, kausap at palaging nakikita. Bakit ba ganyan ang pakiramdam ng tao? Bakit nasasaktan ang ating kalooban at nalulungkot kung may umaalis?

Katulad ng batis, malayang dumadaloy ang tubig upang magbigay ng buhay sa kapaligiran. Masarap inumin ang tubig na ito lalo pat galing pa ito sa pusod ng kagubatan. Subalit kapag sumapit na ang tag-araw, maaaring ito ay huhupa at matutuyo din. Sa ating paglilingkod, sikapin nating maging maayos ang ating ginagawa. Maging mabuting ehemplo tayo sa bawat isa. Minsan ay hindi maiwasan ang bangayan at nakapagsasalita tayo sa kapwa ng hindi maganda sa hindi sinasadyang pagkakataon. Tao tayo na may kahinaan na kahit anong lalim na ng pang-unawa ay nasasagad din. Subalit kung dumarating sa ganitong tampok, agad pawiin sa pamamagitan ng paghingi ng tawad ng sa gayon bago pa magkalayo ay tangan pa rin ang maganda at kabutihan na napulot buhat sa paglalakbay sa buhay. Mainam na panatalihin natin ang magandang pangalan bago tayo bumalik sa ating bayan. Hindi hamak na napakandang mapag-usapan ka lalo na kung ito ay tungkol sa iyong kabutihan. Mas mabuting piliin ang malinis na pangalan kaysa pilak o ginto o anumang kayamanan.(Kawikaan 22:1)
