MANILA, March 1 (PNA) — Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle urged the faithful to remember Jesus Christ who never left them.

“Sa apatnapung araw ng Kuwaresma, tayo ay inaanyayahan na alalahanin si Hesus na hindi nang-iwan sa atin, upang tayo ay huwag ding mang-iwan sa kanya,” he said in his Homily during the Ash Wednesday Mass, he presided at the Arzobispado de Manila in Intramuros, Manila.

“Mga kapatid, nagsimula na naman sa araw na ito ang banal na panahon ng Kuwaresma. Apatnapung araw na ibinibigay sa atin upang tayo ay makapaghanda na sumabay kay Hesus, maglakbay patungo sa kanyang kamatayan dala ng pag-ibig sa atin,” he added.

Ash Wednesday is the start of the 40-day Lenten Season.

Likewise, the head of the Archdiocese of Manila asked the people to be intense in hearing, readying and praying the word of God.

“Sana po sa apatnapung araw na ito ng Kuwaresma, maging marubdob ang ating pakikinig, pagbabasa, pagdarasal ng Salita ng Diyos,” he said.

Tagle added, “Ang Salita ng Diyos ay liwanag sa ating paanan, sa ating paglalakbay. Ang Salita ng Diyos, kapag pinakinggan at hinayaang tumimo sa ating puso, ito ang magiging daan para lalo tayong makakilala sa Diyos at maiugnay natin ang kalooban natin sa kanyang kalooban. Salita ng Diyos.”

Tagle noted that people should not give importance to words that did not come from God.

“Minsan, mas binibigyan natin ng panahon ang kung anu-anong salita. Hindi naman nangagagaling sa Diyos, pero ‘yun ang pinahahalagahan. Nagre-react tayo at tumutugon sa mga salita na hindi naman galing sa Diyos. Buti pa ‘yung mga walang katuturang salita, pinakikinggan at may tumutugon,” he said.

The Catholic prelate added that faithful should also learn change their inner selves not for only for themselves but towards God.

“Ang isang mahalagang bahagi ng pagbabagong-loob, ang loob, hindi na nakabaling sa sarili. Nakabaling sa Diyos, sa pamamagitan ng kanyang salita, at nakabaling sa kapwa,” he said.
