Monday (September 16): "Say the word, and let my servant be healed"

Gospel:  Luke 7:1-10 
After he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people he entered Capernaum. Now a centurion had a slave who was dear to him, who was sick and at the point of death. When he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his slave. And when they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy to have you do this for him, for he loves our nation, and he built us our synagogue." And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble  yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. For I am a man set under authority, witlh soldiers under me: and I say to one, `Go,' and he goes; and to another, `Come,' and he comes; and to  my slave, `Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard this he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I  found such faith." And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave well.

Gam’hanan an centurion para sa mga Jews sanan mga Romans, pero nangamujô sija kan Jesus na tambajon an may sakit nija na suluguon.

Dako an kompiyansa, pagsalig sanan pagtuo na matambay ni Jesus an ija maysakit.

Pero imbes na ipursige nija an ija pangamujo, nasipog seguro sija ugsa na nakasulti sija kan Jesus na “Lord, dili ako angajan na makapa-dajon Dimo sa ako panimayay pero isulti mo ra lamang, madajaw na an sakit nan akô suluguon.”

Kuman sa atô pagpangamujô, pangajuon natô kan Lord Jesus na hatagan kita Nija na kagawasan sa mga makasasayâ na garbo, kahadlok, sanan rebelyon para kita makadawat nan Ija kamatuoran sanan mapasayluon na gugma.
