Homily
Good day everyone . .
The gospel is taken from Mark 4:35-41. it was the event when the apostles with Jesus were in the boat and they were tossed up by strong wind (storm) and all of them were terrified and shouted for help while Jesus is sleeping soundly. eventually, Jesus rebuked the wind and the storm subsides, and then He asked them, why are you so terrified, i am with you, where is your faith?
my homily:
How many of you have never been afraid of anything? I am guessing that many, if not all of us here have at least been afraid of something – or maybe someone. We have lots of fears – fear of death, fear of failure, fear of suffering, fear of disease – takot sa asawa, takot tumanda, takot sa sarili, takot sa sariling multo, takot mawalan ng trabaho, takot mag isa etc etc.
Do you remember when as a kid you were afraid of something? Usually of ghosts, maybe of insects or of strangers. During those moments of fear, to whom did you turn? You called your father or mother, remember? When your playmates were bullying you, you ran to your father or to your mother.
Unfortunately, when we grow old we cling to something else when we are afraid. Kung walang lakas magsabi ng niloloob sa nililigawan, maglalasing muna, kakapit sa ispiritu ng alak kesa sa Holy Spirit.
Kung may problemang malaki, kakapit sa droga para makalimot. Kung stress sa work, magyoyosi, Kung takot bumagsak sa exam, mangongopya or magpapasipsip sa teacher. Kung takot maghirap, kakapit sa mayamang politiko. Kung takot matalo sa eleksyon, bibili ng boto. Kung takot mapagalitan or maparusahan, magsisinugaling. Kaya yung takot, lalong lumalalim – di nawawala, kasi sa mali kumakapit - not on Him
As we journey through life, we encounter a lot of challenges that may test our faith, which may cause us to fall into sin. Just always remember We must have faith in him. . . (Jesus)
Have a blessed day everyone . . Remember to trust Him all that we do. And all will be well.

Kayo how do you handle things when you are afraid ??? aside from entrusting it to Him?? sabi nga nila nasa diyos ang awa nasa tao ang gawa . .
