John 2:13-25
The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade." His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me." The Jews then said to him, "What sign have you to show us for doing this?" Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" But he spoke of the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did; but Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

Respetado ba nato an ato Simbahan kon jaon kita sa suyod nangaliya kan God?
Ini na pangutana an kinahanglan amo’y sumbanan nato kada oras na mosuyod kita nan simbahan – magdajeg, magpasalamat sanan mangaliya kan God, kay usahay bagan hingkalim’tan na nato na an simbahan, bayay ni Lord na kinahanglan itamod kay sagrado man ini na lugar.
Ugsa makalaong ako na usahay bagan hingkalim’tan nato na sagrado an Simbahan kay may mga panahon na magasimba kita na dili kon angajan an ato pameste, naka-short, naka-sleeveless, nakatsinelas sanan bisan uno rakan na dili angajan sa suyod nan simbahan.
Usahay gani, bisan sa tunga nan Misa, makakita kita nan mga tawo na nag-text sanan usahay, mogawas kay tubagon an ring nan cellphone.
Sa Ebanghelyo kuman, ingkasab’an ni Jesus an mga negosyante sanan mga kawatan na taghimo an templo na huy’anan nila, tag-abog Nija an mga tawo sa namalegja nan mga kinahanglan igasa sa altar.
An Simbahan an lugar kon diin at tawo makig-estorya nan plastar kan God kay amo man ini an bayay Nija.

"Lord Jesus Christ, you open wide the door of your Father’s house and you bid us to enter confidently and joyfully that we may worship in spirit and truth. Help me to draw near to your throne of mercy and grace with gratitude and joy."
