OPINION: Sunday Reflection by Mayor Beng Climaco

Thus says the Lord: “Say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save you.”

Na tiempo de Pandemia, when the situation is very unpredictable, we are filled with constant fear of contracting Covid-19. We keep vigil nightly as we await the tally of result submitted by the City Health Office. From an average of 15-20 positive daily cases, we had 61 active cases. SeƱor Dios proteje con todo. Recently, we assisted Zamboanga del Sur for their medical needs. We must be responsible to practice wearing face mask, face shield, sanitation, distancing and vaccine. 

It was a jubilant homecoming for our Olympic Gold Medalists Hidilyn Diaz - a daughter of Mampang - taught us NOT TO GIVE UP, urging us all that WITH GOD, KAYA SE! And Olympic Bronze Medalist in Boxing, Eumir Felix Marcial, from Lunzuran, spoke about gratitude to God and all who helped him, emphasizing “discipline and determination” that led to his victory. I am sure they experienced fear as they competed but God's courage and all the difficulties they experienced served as motivation to give it their all and FIGHT! 

In the Gospel, Jesus heals the deaf man with speech impediment by setting him aside. The man was brought in by people who care for him and sought Jesus’ healing. As he proclaimed: “Ephphatha!” — that is, “Be opened!” May we open our hearts to enter the battle in life’s challenges to TRUST GOD and Open our lives to let God heal and lead us. May we Proclaim God’s greatness with Courage. El Dios todo poderoso dale coraje canaton y defende canaton con su Victoria! Let our FAITH in GOD triumph over the Pandemic! (MBC)
