HOLY TUESDAY 2011

John 13: 21 - 33, 36 - 38

21When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
22The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.
23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus;
24so Simon Peter beckoned to him and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."
25So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
26Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."
28Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him.
29Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor.
30So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night.
31When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified;
32if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.
33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going you cannot come.'
36Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward."
37Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."
38
Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times.



This is todays gospel...last sunday, i've gone to church with my family...and this is one of the homily and the reading...last sunday is PALM SUNDAY...today im working...but hopefully tomorrow would be the last working day in the office...lets all spend time to repent...say thank you... reminiscing what God had given to us and to pray...this is one lacking today...the real meaning of HOLY WEEK are shadowed of lots of celbration...not knowing the only celebration should took place is the suffering and Jesus words happenings...


I love this celebration cause its the only way i can approach God,say sorry to Him,talk to Him,say I love you to Him...

Last sunday the priest mention "MY BROTHER HE TOLD HIS FELLOWS
"IF YOU FOLLOW ME THE ROAD WILL NOT BE EASY,THORNS ARE SCATTERED EVERYWHERE, WERE-ELSE IF YOU FOLLOW ME YOU SHOULD CARRY YOUR OWN CROSS AND FOLLOW ME,AND ITS UP TO YOU IF YOU DO THAT " " 
But people did not understand what Jesus really mean by that,instead people crucify themselves during Holy Week,that should not be done...for me what really Jesus meant by that was that we should all be vigilant and took our own responsibility of our own instinct and action we shouls repent for our sins ans let others follow you and realize how great it is to follow God...


The road ahead may not be easy but the price of getting there is worth the burden and heavy...
God love us taht he gave His life so we should be taking that chance to do good not to harm...still it doesnt sinks in to our mind...even me,im a sinner...but i think im making my ways to repent for that sins i've done,start a new life with Him and just wait what God has planned for me ahead...
