Mark 12:1-12
And he began to speak
to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it,
and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants,
and went into another country. When the time came, he sent a servant to the
tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. And they took him
and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent to them another
servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. And he
sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and
some they killed. He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to
them, saying, `They will respect my son.' But those tenants said to one
another, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be
ours.' And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What
will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and
give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this scripture: `The very stone
which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the
Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?" And they tried to arrest
him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable
against them; so they left him and went away.

Dako an pagsalig ni
God sa ato tanan ugsa na taghatagan kita Nija nan kagawasan para nato mahimo an
pagdumaya nan ato mga kinabuhi na kita ra’y mag-disposisyon.
Sa sambingay sa
ebanghelyo, ato hikit’an dinhi an halayum na pasensiya sanan hustisya ni God kay
Ija man pabalik-balik na tagpasaylo an mga tenant sa ila mga utang.
Pero bisan tag-abuso
nan mga tenant an pasiyensiya nan agalon, an ija pagpadapat nan hustisya amo ra’y
gihapon nangibabaw sa tanan.
Amo ini an tinood na
pasensiya sanan hustisya ni God na Ija boot ipadangat sa tanan Nija na mga anak
sa kalibutan.
Naninguha ba kita tanan
na makab’ot nato an paglaum sanan kumpiyansa nan kadaugan ni God?

"Thank you, Lord
Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which you have given us; for all the pains
and insults which you have borne for us. O most merciful redeemer, friend, and
brother, may we know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you
more nearly, for your own sake!"
