OPINION: Sunday Reflection by Mayor Beng Climaco (Zamboanga City)

"I WAS hard pressed and was falling, but the LORD helped me. My strength and my courage is the LORD, and he has been my Savior. The joyful shout of victory in the tents of the just..."

On this great feast of Jesus, the Divine Mercy, we offer to God all we are and beg for forgiveness of sins. Pilgrims flocked to the Divine Mercy to offer prayers. As we celebrate the Second Sunday of Easter, we lift up our hearts filled with gratitude for God's great love and mercy to save us all. Amid the distress, may we have endurance in Jesus, this we read from the Second Reading. 

La noche del pasado domingo despues reza junto con mi marido, pasada la una de la maƱana, ya tormenta yo durmi por causa de cosas que te distorba conmigo. Ya hace yo preciso ofrece mio vida con Dios! I surrendered my life in God's hands since I felt the burden of an uncertain future. 

La fiesta del Divino Misericordia, ta ofrece kita di aton vida na gran amor del Dios di aton Salvador. Si Archbishop Romulo De La Cruz ya tiene el devotion del Divine Mercy Chaplet que yo tambien te reza. Mio Auntie Dita Tugbo de Cotabato ya lleva el 3 O’ clock devotion to the Divine Mercy. “Peace be with you,” Jesus greets the Apostles as he appears to them. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,

“Receive the Holy Spirit whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” 

I assured myself as doubts persist that I have committed my life to Jesus. Just like Thomas, we are full of doubts. Bien asigurista na vida. We face an unknown future and we are led to simply trust God and have faith. In this feast of the Divine Mercy, we ask our Lord to send His Peace and trust in Him. "You believe in me, Thomas, because you have seen me, says the Lord; blessed are those who have not seen me, but still believe!"
