Banat Opinyon

Ang tinuod nga lalake

SENIOR CITIZEN - Antolin dela Serna - Banat

Niining atong panahon, samtang medyo niarang-arang na ang atong kahimtang, gitambag gihapon nga atong ipadayon ang pagtuman o pag-observe sa mga basic health protocols kaylagi ania pa man gayud uban kanato si COVID-19. Ambot nganong wa pa man gayud kini siya molayas.

Anyway, among others, ato usab ipadayon ang atong mga pag-ampo, ilabina ang mga pag-ampo natong mga lalake nga tagsa rang moampo, kay alang sa ubang mga lalake, ang pag-ampo alang lamang sa mga babaye.

Pray – there’s an immeasurable power in it. Motuo ka ini?  “Through prayers, the mind and heart will be opened to the promptings and offers one to the readiness to follow the will of God in his life with complete trust and confidence in the Lord. Prayers also give one the necessary strength znd courage and makes one to respond accordingly as He desires especially to those who are in need.”

Karong mga panahona, we are badly in need. Busa, atong hugtan pag-ayo ang atong mga pag-ampo, Ilabina niining panahon sa Kwaresma. Dugay-dugay na kitang gihasol sa pandemic, Gikuso-kuso kita’g maayo ni Odette, ug karon, ang gubat sa Ukraine nga gipasiugdahan sa Russia.

Ato kining gisaysay dinhi, kining atong pag-associate sa pag-ampo ug sa mga lalake, gumikan niining lindog ni Federico Pascual sa Philippine Star giulohan “Real men know how to kneel, pray.” Nagpasabot nga ang tinuod nga lalake  kamaong moluhod ug mo-ampo.

Hinuon, kitang mga lalake, gumikan sa atong pagka-senior citizens na, nag-minampuon na. It seems nga wa na tay laing kapaingnan. Ang uban kanato, napugos pagbalik ngadto sa Ginoo.

Ania si Pascual (alang niadtong wala makabasa niini): “The short video surprised me, a Filipino Catholic, when I opened YouTube by accident while searching for updates on the 12-day-old Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“Massed in orderly long lines on a wide street in Warsaw were hundreds of men enduring the zero-degree winter cold – all of them on their knees, praying the Rosary… “Zdrowa? Maryjo, ?aski pe?na…” (Hail Mary, full of grace…) its Polish rhythm filling the air.

“To catch that March 5 moment yourself, go to You Tube (and skip the ads): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijViPHFm1no.

“The one-minute video struck me because it has been years since I saw men, especially feeling-macho Filipino men, praying the Rosary actually.on.their.knees facing in one direction.

“The solemn street scene called to mind the cocky menfolk in my old hometown during Sunday masses who slipped out to smoke or chat when the priest turned to deliver his “sermon.” (They went back in when the homily was over.)

“The video did not indicate it, but we presumed that the “prayer rally” in Warsaw was part of the catholic (meaning universal) search for a peaceful end to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of Ukraine lying across Poland’s eastern border.”

Lantawa kini sa YouTube ug matandog ka. Makapangutana kita kon unsa kita nga pagka-lalake, ato bang ika-uwaw ang pag-pangadye sa Rosaryo, kay ma hadlok kitang tawgon nga mahuyang, kaylagi alang man lang kini sa mga babaye?

By the way, gi-emphasize ni Pascual nga ang pulong Catholic nagkahulogan og Universal.
