Alang sa Gethsemane Parish, Mandaue City, Cebu
Huni ug Letra ni Msgr. Rudy Villanueva* (2010)
Sa kalantip sa Imong panan-aw,
Gikan sa nagdilaab nga pagtoo
Nabasa mo ug nasabtan mo
Ang mga tulokibon sa gugma sa Ginoo
Ug sama'g agila nagduawan ka
Sa kapunawpunawan latas sa ugma, luyo ning kalibutan.
Sa tanang Apostoles gihikawan sa dugo-ong katapusan
Aron sa ingon uba'g Diosnong gahum
Nag-iwag sa katawhan hangtod ning panahon.
Ug kaming nakadawat sa maong sulat
Sarang maiwagan s'among padulngan,
Ang langitnon mo nga puloy-anan.
Agakon mo kami pagka-Diosnong katilingban
Patuboon mo kami sa grasya ug kinaadman.
Pinalangga ni Jesus nga wa mobiya sa tiilan sa krus
Gam-a kami nga makanunayon
Iyaha hangtod sa kamatayon.
Espirituhanon namong amahan
Bantugang Apostol, Senyor San Juan.
Espirtuhanon namong amahan
Bantugang Apostol ug langitnon namong sumbanan.
Amen.

St. John Apostle and Evangelist, Our Patron Saint
O St. John, shining star of the Church,
you who reflect the Father's light
by revealing to us the mystery of the Word, eternal fruit of his bosom,
the source of all life and of all truth.
O beloved disciple of the Word made flesh,
who at the Last Supper rested your head upon His heart.
Drawing all the secrets of the Father's beloved Son and of the Savior of men,
O beloved Son of Mary, who at the foot of the cross received the treasure of the Heart of Jesus crucified,
thus becoming the witness of his wounded heart, we beseech you,
despite our unworthiness, our weakness, our infidelities,
be our father that we may be true sons of the Father, living by his light
and by the ardor of the wounded Heart of the Agapetos,
under the life-giving guidance of the Spirit-Paraclete,
in Mary Mother of Jesus and our Mother. Amen.

O San Juan, masidlak nga bitoon sa Simbahan,
ikaw nga maoy nagpa-aninag sa kahayag sa Amahan
pinaagi sa pagbutyag nganhi kanamo sa tanghaga sa Pulong,
ang walay kinutubang bunga sa iyang sabakan,
tuburan sa tnang kinabuhi ug sa tanang kamatuoran.
O pinalanggang tinun-an sa Pulong-nga-Nahimong-Tawo,
kinsa didto sa Katapusang Panihapon
nagpa-uraray sa imong ulo diha gayud sa luklokanan sa Iyang kasingkasing.
Tinimba ang tanang mga tinago-an sa pinalanggang Anak sa Amahan ug sa Manunubos sa katawhan,
O pinalanggang anak ni Maria, nga didto sa tiilan sa krus,
midawat sa bahandi sa Kasingkasing ni Jesus nga gilansang sa krus,
sa ingon nahimo ikaw nga saksi sa Iyang samaran nga kasingkasing,
nangamuyo kami kanimo, bisan pa sa among pagka-dili takus, sa among kahuyang, sa among pagkamaluibon,
nga maamong amahan aron kami mamahimong tinuod nga mga anak sa Amahan,
magapuyo diha sa iyang kahayag, ug pinaagi sa nagdilaab nga samarang kasingkasing sa Pinalangga,
ubos sa mabuhiong pangama sa Espiritu nga Maglilipay, diha kang Maria nga Inahan ni Jesus ug amo usab nga Inahan. Amen.

Pahibalo sa Petsa sa Adlaw sa Pagkabanhaw sa atong Ginoong JesuCristo
Ang Pahibalo sa Petsa sa Adlaw sa Pagkabanhaw nagsugod sa panahon nga nihit pa ang mga kalendaryo. Bisan tuod ug dili na nihit ang kalendaryo karon, makahuluganon gihapon kini kay nagpahinumdum kini kanato nga ang pagkabanhaw sa atong Ginoo mao ang sentro ug ang naghatag ug kahulugan sa liturhikanhong tuig sa Simbahan.
***
Mga igsuon, ang himaya sa Dios misidlak kanato, ug sa kanunay madayag dinhi kanato hangtud sa adlaw sa Iyang pagbalik. Pinaagi sa dagan sa mga takna ug mga panahon, saulugon ta ang mga misteryo sa kaluwasan.
Handumon ta ang kinatumyan sa tuig, ang Triduo sa Pagkabanhaw sa Ginoo: ang Iyang Katapusang Panihapon, ang Iyang kamatayon sa krus, ang Iyang paglubong, ug ang Iyang Pagkabanhaw nga saulugon sulod sa gabii sa ika-lima sa Abril (Abril 5) hangtud ug sa gabii sa ika-walo sa Abril (Abril 8).
Matag Pasko sa Pagkabanhaw—sama sa matag Domingo—ang Balaan nga Simbahan nagdala sa atong taliwala sa daku ug makaluwas nga buhat diin si Cristo sa kanunay mibuntog sa sala ug sa kamatayon.
Gikan sa Pagkabanhaw, atong gitimaan ang tanang mga adlaw nga atong gibalaan:
Ang Miyerkoles sa Abo, nga mao ang sinugdanan sa Kwaresma, mahitabo sa ika-kawhaan ug duha sa Pebrero (Pebrero 22).
Ang Pagkayab sa Ginoo sa langit atong handumon sa ika-kawhaan sa Mayo (Mayo 20).
Ang Pentekostes, ang pagkunsad sa Espiritu Santo , nga mao ang malipayong pagtak-um sa panahon sa Pasko sa Pagkabanhaw saulugon sa ika-kawhaan ug pito sa Mayo (Mayo 27).
Ug karong tuiga, ang unang Domingo sa Adbiyento mahitabo sa ikaduha sa Disyembre (Disyembre 2).
Sa maong paagi, ang nagpanaw nga Simbahan nagsangyaw sa Pasko sa Pagtabok sa Ginoo diha sa mga pangilin sa Santa nga Inahan sa Dios, sa mga pangilin sa mga apostol ug sa mga santos, uban kanila si Beato Pedro Calungsod, kansang pangilin karong tuiga saulugon sa ika-katloan ug usa sa Marso (Marso 31) ug diha usab sa paghandum sa mga magtutuo nga nangamatay.

January 8: Solemnity of the Epiphany of Our Lord
Our catechism teaches us that God’s presence is manifested in creation and all its beauty as the song goes “When I gaze into the night skies and see the work of your fingers, the moon and stars suspended in space.” The Greek word for this is diaphany, meaning “to appear through.” But beyond and deeper than this is the “theophany,” the appearing of God moving and acting in the history of the Israelites, which we read in the Old Testament. But the ultimate “appearing of God moving and acting in history,” the epiphany, is Jesus of Nazareth. This is the mystery we contemplate today: God draws near to us. The timeless and invisible God is made visible and moves and acts within time. God has a human face, which he fashioned “according to his own image and likeness.” The child born of Mary is God Himself!
Yet His own countryman, Herod, seeks to get rid of Him. But three wise men from the East come to pay Him homage—the culmination of their lifelong journey in search for truth, which led them through ancient literature, prophecies, and the study of the stars. They offer Him gold, recognizing Him as king. They offer Him frankincense, recognizing Him as priest and God Himself. They offer myrrh, recognizing Him as the prophet who will be killed for teaching the truth.
