LIFE’S FACEBOOK
“While he was praying his face changed in appearance…” – Luke 9: 29
One morning, my wife Lallaine showed me her Facebook home page. I was astonished (and amused) at the different old pictures her friends have posted for all to see.
“The changes we have all gone through!” she exclaimed. And because I know a number of those friends, I knew what she meant. Most of them sported the “siete look” (a type of hairstyle) in their grade school photos, had baby fat and the usual ‘80s getup.
Come high school, their hair metamorphosed to the afro as tall as a two-storey building, with the punk look. It gave us such joy seeing what time, money and a little maturity can do.
Can you imagine the joy the disciples of Jesus felt when they were given a chance to have a glimpse of the glorified Jesus? They were ecstatic at the sight of Him transfigured right before their eyes.
What they saw is what we will see in the future.
For now, we have a foretaste of that in the Eucharist.
We are given the great privilege to see Jesus as bread and wine not just for us to have a glimpse of Him but more so to experience Him in our lives.Arun Gogna (gognaa1@yahoo.com)
REFLECTION:
Do I have a true encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist?
Help me see You as I ought to, Lord. AsI remember Yourtransfiguration, may I change, too, to be a better follower of Yours. Amen.
Today, August 6, 2010 Fr. Albert (Nene) Opiniano announced the transfer of Fr. Filomeno (Elmo) Burgueta, Assistant Parish Priest of the St. Francis Xavier Parish, Palompon, Leyte to his new assignment at Valencia, Ormoc City.
His new parish assignment will be his first ever as a full pledge "Cura Parroco". Definitely Palompon, Leyte parishioners, especially the Lay Ministers where he is the Spiritual Director, will miss him very much, since he is one of the most friendly, smooth talking, and amiable priest assigned in this part of Northern Leyte.
Fr. Nene, further announced that the transfer would be effective first week of September, 2010 and that the mass installation and re-assignment of priest will be done today, August 6, 2010 at the Palo Cathedral, Palo, Leyte who at the same time is celebrating the Feast of the Transfiguration as their town's feast day.
