Send us Fan MailParticle physicist and author Dr. Sarah Alam Malik stops by for an expansive conversation about astronomy, the history of scientific discovery, and our endless fascination with the night sky. In her new book, A Brief History of the Universe, And Our Place in It, Dr. Sarah explores how our understanding of the cosmos has evolved from ancient observers tracking the stars, through the revolutionary ideas of Copernicus and Newton, to modern discoveries about dark matter and the origins of the universe itself.Why do humans feel compelled to explore? What does it mean to confront the scale of the universe, and how can astronomy change the way we see ourselves here on Earth. Dr. Sarah also reflects on her own path into physics, the moments of awe that still stay with her, and the discoveries she hopes for in the coming decades.This is a conversation about curiosity, perspective, and the incredible human need to understand where we came from, and what the distant future of the universe might hold.Check out A Brief History of the Universe at Harper Collins (USA)Check out A Brief History of the Universe at Simon & Schuster (UK)Check out A Brief History of the Universe at Simon & Schuster (Australia)sarahalammalik.comEmail us! cosmiccoffeetime@gmail.comYou can request a topic for the show!

Hai Wonder Kids, kembali dalam renungan anak GKY Mangga Besar. Judul renungan hari ini adalah Batas Ilmu PengetahuanDiambil dari: Ibrani 11:3 (TB) “Karena iman kita mengerti, bahwa alam semesta telah dijadikan oleh firman Allah, sehingga apa yang kita lihat telah terjadi dari apa yang tidak dapat kita lihat.”Wonder Kids, ilmu pengetahuan menolong manusia mempelajari banyak hal. Dengan ilmu pengetahuan, orang bisa melihat, meneliti, dan memahami bagaimana sesuatu bekerja. Misalnya, orang bisa belajar tentang tumbuhan, bintang, tubuh manusia, dan banyak hal lainnya. Tetapi ilmu pengetahuan juga punya batas. Tidak semua hal bisa dilihat langsung dengan mata atau dibuktikan dengan percobaan sederhana.Contohnya, ada banyak hal yang kita tahu itu nyata walaupun kita tidak melihatnya secara langsung setiap saat. Kita tidak melihat angin, tetapi kita bisa melihat pohon bergerak. Kita tidak melihat listrik, tetapi kita tahu listrik bekerja saat lampu menyala. Begitu juga, ada hal-hal yang manusia pelajari dari petunjuk-petunjuk yang ada.Firman Tuhan dalam Ibrani 11:3 mengajarkan sesuatu yang sangat penting. Alam semesta ini dijadikan oleh firman Allah. Artinya, dunia ini ada bukan karena kebetulan, tetapi karena Tuhan menciptakannya. Memang kita tidak melihat saat Tuhan menciptakan langit dan bumi, tetapi kita percaya kepada firman-Nya yang benar. Tuhan memberi kita iman untuk memahami bahwa Dia adalah Pencipta.Wonder Kids, ini bukan berarti kita menolak belajar. Justru kita boleh belajar dengan sungguh-sungguh. Tetapi kita juga harus ingat bahwa manusia tidak tahu segalanya. Ada batas dalam pengetahuan manusia, tetapi tidak ada batas dalam hikmat Tuhan. Saat ada hal yang belum kita mengerti, kita tidak perlu cepat-cepat berkata bahwa Tuhan tidak ada. Sebaliknya, kita belajar rendah hati dan percaya bahwa Tuhan jauh lebih besar dari pikiran kita.Karena itu, saat kamu melihat dunia ini, ingatlah bahwa semua ini tidak muncul sendiri. Langit, bumi, pohon, hujan, hewan, dan hidupmu sendiri adalah karya Tuhan. Dan semakin kita melihat ciptaan-Nya, semakin kita bisa bersyukur kepada Dia.Wonder Kids, hari ini lakukan ini: Pilih satu hal di sekitarmu yang membuatmu kagum, misalnya langit, bunga, tubuhmu, atau hujan. Lalu ucapkan, “Tuhan, terima kasih karena Engkau adalah Pencipta yang hebat.”Mari kita berdoa: Tuhan, terima kasih karena Engkau menciptakan alam semesta dengan firman-Mu. Tolong aku supaya mau belajar dengan baik, tetapi juga percaya kepada-Mu dengan rendah hati. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus aku berdoa, Amin.Wonder Kids, ingatlah: ilmu pengetahuan punya batas, tetapi Tuhan Sang Pencipta tidak terbatas dan firman-Nya selalu benar. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.

Are there really exoplanets with where it rains ruby and emerald raindrops? How do we measure the atmospheres of exoplanets light years away? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Munazza Alam of the Space Telescope Science Institute. The STScI performs science operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope when it launches in 2026. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing. On Feb 24, 2026, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory activated the alert system it will use to notify astronomers of noteworthy events and sent out 800,000 alerts on that single day! Munazza tells us about how she studies the atmospheres of exoplanets like Wasp 121-b, a gas giant thought to have ruby and sapphire rain. Dr. Alam describes exoplanets with surface oceans made of magma, and she and Chuck talk about the importance of plate tectonics. You'll hear about Hot Jupiters, Super-Earths, and Sub-Neptunes – and the theories about why we don't have any of them in our solar system despite the fact that they're incredibly common in the Milky Way galaxy. Then it's time for audience questions, which for this episode come from students at Notre Dame Academy on Staten Island, where Munazza is an alum. Not only does past guest Dr. Betty Jensen teach there, as well, but she was a critical influence on Munazza's career path. (You can listen to our episode with Dr. Jensen here.) The first question is from Charlotte, who asks, “How far have we gone in space?” Munazza, Allen, and Chuck discuss Voyager 1, which at a current distance of nearly 16 billion miles is the man-made object that has gone furthest from Earth. Next up, Gabby asks, “What was the best advice you were given when you were preparing for college?” Dr. Alam's answer: Pick something you enjoy and are good at - in spite of any pressure you might get from friends, family, and others. A second piece of advice Munazza got was to maintain your breadth, i.e., developing other interests besides your primary focus. For Munazza, that was art and writing, and she shares some of her art later in the show. Finally, Gisella asks if it was hard picking a college. Dr. Alam shares her process, with the caveat that it might not be good advice for everyone. Charles and Munazza reflect on the tradition of scientific exploration, observation, discovery and analysis of which she's part. Munazza recounts the excitement when JWST observations of transmission spectra of the exoplanet Wasp 39b confirmed their predictions – and also detected something unexpected: sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of the planet which is a by-product of photochemistry between light from its star and water molecules in the atmosphere of the planet. Finally, Chuck asks Munazza to share some of her art. She shows us one of the first paintings she ever did, a peacock, and tells us a little about it and a portrait she has displayed at the Lowell Observatory. If you'd like to know more about what Dr. Alam is up to, you can follower her on LinkedIn or visit her website .

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:13-35 NRSVUE INTRODUKSYON Tayo ngayon ay nasa ikatlong bahagi ng ating serye. Pangatlong beses na rin nating binabasa at naririnig ang Gospel mula kay Luke, ang kwento ng paglalakbay patungong Emmaus. At gusto ko kayong tanungin: Ano ang naging impact ng marinig ito sa pangatlong pagkakataon? May nabago ba sa mensahe? Meron ba kayong bagong napulot mula sa kwento na hindi pa natin napag-uusapan sa nakaraang dalawang linggo? Ang tema natin sa araw na ito ay “Christ in Our Meals”—si Kristo sa ating mga hapag. PAGBABALIK-TANAW SA PARTS 1 & 2 Pero bago ang lahat, magbalik-tanaw muna tayo sa nakaraang dalawang linggo. Sinamahan natin sina Cleopas at ang kanyang mga kasama sa kanilang paglalakbay, at sa prosesyong iyon, tila tayo rin ay naglakbay kasama nila. Sa Part 1, napag-usapan natin ang kahalagahan ng pagiging present sa ating journey. Madalas sa bigat ng ating dinadala—mga responsibilidad, problema, at mga bagay na hindi natin kontrolado—nakakalimutan nating huminto at namnamin ang kasalukuyan. Tulad ng dalawang disciples, hindi nila napansin na si Jesus ay kasama nila sa daan all along sa kanilang journey. We learned that Emmaus is not just a place; it is a state of being. A moment where our disappointment meets God’s divine presence. At kahit tayo ay tila naglalakad palayo sa pag-asa, si Kristo ay lumalapit sa atin, sinasamahan tayo sa bawat hakbang. Napag-usapan din natin ang involvement ng kababaihan sa journey ng historical Jesus—mula sa pagpondo ng mga ministry ni Jesus, sa kanyang crucifixion, hanggang sa pagkabuhay niyang muli, at sa pagbabahagi ng unang Gospel. Women were always there. Sa ikalawang bahagi naman, nakita natin na si Hesus ay hindi lamang kasama sa ating paglalakbay kundi pati sa ating pakikipamuhay sa kapwa. Through conversations with others, with our community, and even with ourselves, we encounter Christ. I also shared about the importance of clarity through inner work gamit ang M.I.C.K.: Motivate, Inspire, Cheer, Be kind. Mula sa book ni Coach Pia Acevedo na “Focus on What Matters”, we learned that if we don’t do inner work, we don’t just suffer alone; the people we love also encounter a compromised version of us. Napag-usapan natin ang struggle ng pagiging [LGBTQ+]—[LGBTQ+] na nga, breadwinner pa! At kung bakit tila napakahirap para sa ating mga Pilipino ang mag-set ng boundaries sa ating mga mahal sa buhay. Hindi lang ito struggle ng [LGBTQ+] people kundi pati na rin sa ating straight allies. Ang pagsabayin ang pagiging anak, magulang, breadwinner, at tagapagtaguyod ng pamilya sa mga ganitong pagsubok. Mahalaga ang maayos na pag-uusap at pag-engage sa conversations that are uncomfortable but necessary. PART 3: CHRIST IN OUR MEALS Para naman sa ating ikatlong bahagi, ang ating tema ay “Christ in Our Meals.” Alam natin kung gaano kahalaga ang pagkain sa ating buhay upang tayo ay magkaroon ng lakas, makakilos, at makapagpatuloy sa ating journey. Gayun din kahalaga ang presensya ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Kristo. Ang pagkain ay esensyal upang tayo ay mabuhay. At kung babalikan natin ang naging paglalakbay ni Kristo kasama ang mga unang Kristiyano, malaking bahagi ng ministry ni Jesus ang umikot sa pagkain. Oh ‘di ba? Unlimited food! Sa ating Gospel nga, nakita natin na matapos silang magbahagi ng tinapay, doon lamang nila naunawaan na si Hesus pala ang kasama nila. Ito rin ang iniwan sa atin ni Kristo: “Sa tuwing pagsasaluhan ninyo ang tinapay at inumin, ako ay inyong alalahanin.” Bukod sa isang paalala, ito rin ay isang covenant, isang pangako na si Kristo ay kasama natin. Christ is revealed when the bread is broken. Isa sa pinakasikat na miracle ni Jesus ay ang pagpapakain niya sa 5,000 katao, at ang kwentong ito ay makikita sa apat na Gospels. Meron ding kwento sa John 21:9-14, kung saan matapos mangisda si Peter at ang kanyang mga kasama, niyaya sila ni Hesus, “Come and have breakfast.” Sa mga oras na iyon, wala ni isa sa kanila ang nagtanong kung sino siya dahil alam nilang iyon ay si Kristo. Inabutan niya sila ng tinapay at isda. Ito ang ikatlong pagkakataon na nagpakita si Hesus sa mga disciples matapos siyang mabuhay muli. Meron din sa Luke 5:29-32 kung saan si Hesus ay kumakain sa bahay ni Levi kasama ang ibang tax collectors. Dito, tinanong siya ng mga Pharisees at scribes, “Why do you eat with tax collectors and sinners?” Isang account kung saan pinili ni Kristo na makisalo at makisalamuha sa mga taong itinuturing na “unclean” at immoral noong panahon na iyon. Let us also remember the best meal chika na matatagpuan din sa Luke 14:15-21, kung saan si Jesus ay inimbita sa isang banquet during Sabbath. Before this, he healed a man with dropsy, and he also challenged the religious leaders. Then someone said, “Blessed is anyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.” Then Jesus replied with the Parable of the Great Dinner. A man prepares a great banquet and invites many guests. At nang handa na, inutusan niya ang kanyang servant para papuntahin na ang mga ito. Ngunit wala ni isa sa kanila ang dumalo. At ang excuse? Sila ay busy bumili ng lupa, ng oxen, at ‘yung isa naman ay just got married. Umay, ‘no? So nagalit ngayon ‘yung host and told the servant to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind instead of the wealthy friends who can repay them. Then the parable ends with a warning: “None of those invited will taste my dinner.” Sa Jewish culture, very symbolic ang mga banquets at isa itong serious social commitment. Kaya deeply insulting na after mong mag-accept, biglang hindi ka pupunta. Ang parable na ito ay ginamit ni Jesus to speak about God’s invitation to the Kingdom, tungkol sa radical na hospitality at inclusion. Malaking bahagi rin ng pagkain sa ating buhay. I mean, hello, not to state the obvious, isa sa aking love languages ay ang pagluto at paghain ng masarap na pagkain para sa aking mga mahal sa buhay. I also hold it as my personal advocacy ang magbahagi ng pagkain sa mga homeless whenever I am able. Para sa akin, ito ang pinakamadaling paraan upang iparamdam ang presence ni Kristong buhay, dahil ito rin ang mas kailangan nila sa mga sandaling iyon. Habang patuloy tayong lumalaban para sa mundo kung saan ang lahat ay binibigyan ng sapat sa araw-araw, ang mga kwentong ito ang nagpapaalala sa atin na Christ is present in our journey, in our conversations, and in our meals. PAKIKIBAKA AT HUSTISYA Siyang tunay, hindi ba? Ang mga kwentong ito ang ating realization sa pagbasa ng ating Gospel ngayon. Nakaraang dalawang linggo, ang kwento ng journey to Emmaus ay tila buod, isang summary at pagpapatotoo sa presensya ni Kristo sa ating buhay—ang kanyang presence with us by default. A presence that is ever inclusive, mapangyakap, at welcoming, tulad ng isang open table o bukas na hapag, regardless of our sexual orientation, gender identity, race, o katayuan sa buhay. Si Kristo ay kasama natin every step of the way. Hindi lamang sa mga panahon ng festive at masaya, kundi lalo’t higit sa mga panahon ng kalungkutan, galit, at pagluluksa. Si Kristo ay kasama natin tuwing tayo ay nakikisangkot at nakikibahagi sa taunang Pride March, at sa iba pang pagkilos laban sa korupsyon at pang-aabuso; sa ating pakikiisa sa manggagawang Pilipino sa panawagan para sa nakabubuhay na sahod; sa pakikibaka ng mga tsuper na Pilipino sa gitna ng oil crisis; at sa ating panawagan para sa pagtigil ng walang kabuluhang digmaan at karahasan. Patuloy tayong nananawagan ng hustisya para kay Alicia Alano at sa iba pang nasawi noong April 19, 2026, sa isang engkwentro sa Barangay Salamanca, Toboso, Negros Occidental. Si Alicia ay isang estudyante at student leader mula sa University of the Philippines Diliman, at nasa Negros noon para sa community immersion at pananaliksik tungkol sa kalagayan ng mga magsasaka, kabilang ang mga alegasyon ng land grabbing at militarisasyon sa lugar. Imagine being killed in a supposed “legitimate encounter” against alleged members of the NPA. Ito ba ang kinabukasang nais nating ipamana sa ating mga kabataan? Isang mundong sapat na ang “umano” at hinihinala upang kumitil ng buhay ng mga pag-asa ng bayan? Kaya kailangan nating makisangkot at makibahagi sa difficult conversations upang labanan ang ganitong klaseng kaisipan at kultura ng karahasan. Patuloy nating bitbitin ang kwento ni Alicia, kasama ang iba pang naging biktima ng karahasan at ng war on drugs ng nakaraang administrasyon. At sa mga ganitong panahon, dalangin natin na patuloy na yakapin ni Kristo ang pamilya at mga mahal sa buhay ni Alicia at iba pang biktima sa panahon ng kanilang pagluluksa. Nawa’y puspusin sila ng pag-ibig, yakap, at paghilom ng Diyos habang patuloy tayong nakikibaka para sa hustisya—because God’s love must always be tied to justice. INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY & SAINTS OF THE CHURCH I cap this preaching series na may bitbit na mga bagong kwento mula dito sa Taipei, Taiwan, kasama ang ilang sa ating mga members at music team leaders sa event na International [LGBTQ+] Alliance Christian Church. This event is also a popular culmination of what we learned sa Walk to Emmaus. Narinig natin ang journey ng ating Asian neighbors and their stories of struggles of being [LGBTQ+] Christians. Now they went through the same but different situations, just like the two disciples. Hindi nalalayo ang kwento natin as Open Table sa mga struggles ng ating [LGBTQ+] Christian siblings. Ang struggles nila sa mainland China, Korea, maging dito sa Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong at iba pa, Christians are considered a minority. The Philippines may have the highest percentage of Christians, but we are also a minority within the wider church. We are here to tell our stories, to share a meal with each other, and be a holy conversation with a wider community. (Pasensya na po habang ano, kasama ‘yung sipon sa pagtanda…) To be with the wider community, to be in communion with each other, to be each other’s hope, knowing that even a small light in a great darkness is still light. I got this directly from a pastor from Japan kung saan she was asked just to remain silent and not embrace being [LGBTQ+] and Christian. Sa kwento ng isa nating church sa Singapore, they could not hold a Pride protest. And I will always remember the story of Pride from Bora, Korea. Isang straight sweet ally na literal na inalay ang kanyang buhay to fight along with her [LGBTQ+] siblings in Korea, even facing persecution from conservative churches and the government. I am truly blessed and honored to have met her here during Amplify 2018, and was saddened to hear about her passing a few years ago. Ngunit ang kanyang kwento at ang kanyang buhay ay hindi naiuwi lang sa wala. Ito ngayon ang pinanghahawakan nila upang magpatuloy. Let’s always remember our Christian faith is much about remembering as it is remaining hopeful. At nawa ay patuloy nating alalahanin ang ating mga [LGBTQ+] saints: si Father Richard M. at ang kanyang passion; si Pastor Egay at ang kanyang gentleness at compassion; si Ninong Mike sa kanyang ever-welcoming spirit; at si Maxi Choy sa kanyang tapang at adbokasiya laban sa stigma and awareness about HIV and AIDS. I also remember Himalaya, and my promise to always guide our younger generations of [LGBTQ+] Christians. KONGKLUSYON Mga kapatid, sa pagtatapos ng ating series, ito marahil ang pinakamahalagang paalala ng Emmaus story : Na kailanman ay hindi mawawala si Kristo sa ating buhay. Naroon siya sa ating paglalakbay, pag tayo ay pagod na. Sa ating pag-uusap, when we comfort each other kapag tayo ay sugatan, nalilito, o naghahanap ng sagot. At naroon siya sa ating mga hapag—sa bawat paghahati ng tinapay, sa bawat salo-salo, at sa bawat pagkakataon na tayo ay nagbabahaginan ng buhay, pagmamahal, at pakikibaka. Dahil ang tunay na komunyon ay hindi lamang tungkol sa tinapay at alak; ito rin ay pagkilala niya sa atin, sa uring manggagawa, sa [LGBTQ+] community, sa kabataang lumalaban, at sa ating mga straight allies who journey with us. At nawa’y manatiling nag-aalab ang ating mga puso sapagkat si Kristo ay buhay. Kasama natin sa daan, kasama natin sa hapag, at kasama natin sa paglaban. Amen.

The creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 enabled millions of Americans to meaningfully access healthcare for the first time — and dramatically increased demand for doctors. The passage of the Hart-Celler Immigration and Nationality Act a few months later enabled tens of thousands of immigrant physicians to migrate to the US. Since then, immigrant physicians have comprised between 25 — 40% of the physician workforce. Our guest on this episode is Professor Eram Alam, associate professor of history at Harvard. Alam specializes in the history of medicine, race, migration, and health during the twentieth century. In 2025, she published The Care of Foreigners: How Immigrant Physicians Changed US Healthcare.Over the course of our conversation, Professor Alam traces the legal, economic, and geopolitical factors that led to the US depending on immigrant physicians to care for many of the country's most vulnerable populations. We explore how American attitudes toward immigration have shifted over time and how the current state of politics has created a jarring disconnect: many patients depend on care from immigrant physicians and yet continue to view immigrants as un-American. Finally, Professor Alam reminds us how remembering everyone feels a little out of place, can help us see the person in front of us more fully. In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:00 - Dr. Alam's work as a professor and historian of healthcare and medicine7:30 - The background for Dr. Alam's book The Care of Foreigners. 13:00 - The story behind the 1965 legislation that led to the mass employment of physician immigrants in the US22:10 - How the role of immigrant physicians in the US healthcare system complicates the idea of meritocracy in medicine29:00 - The ways in which US immigration policy has changed the experience for foreign-born doctors over time 33:45 - Dr. Alam's view of how current immigration crackdowns fit into the larger historical narrative of US immigration 45:36 - How dehumanizing political rhetoric surrounding immigrants can blind us to the humanity of those who care for us53:26 - The unifying power in acknowledging discomfort in ourselves and othersIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:13-35 NRSVUE Sermon Part 2: Christ in Our Conversations So for this part two, our theme of our preaching is “Christ in our conversations.” Sabi nga sa Matthew chapter 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” But of course, we also honor and value ‘yung mga intimate at personal conversations natin with God through prayer. While it is true na mas yumayabong at nabibigyan ng buhay ang ating mga conversations with each other and the community. After all nga ‘di ba, bilang isang Metropolitan Community Church, community is our middle name. Tama ba?. I also believe na mahalagang pagtuunan din natin ng pansin and a good practice ‘yung pagiging self-aware. Ang matutong makinig sa pansariling pangangailangan, to listen to our bodies, to affirm ourselves first na hindi kasalanan ang pagiging bakla, so that we can also affirm others. We need to resolve our own struggles before we can do that for other people. The famous line: you cannot pour from an empty cup. And we have clarity in our personal lives to inspire that capacity to others. Shit ba? Paborito na ni Joseph?. Mga kasita, we miss you, Chang. So we know that God, through Jesus, has always been with us in our journey. At napakinggan din natin ang isa sa mga pinaka-life-changing na holy conversation moment doon sa ating gospel reading , kung saan, after nilang mag-sharing about scripture ng breaking of bread ay bigla na lang naglaho ‘yung stranger na kasalubong nila patungong Emmaus. At sa punto ring ‘yon, na-realize nila na it was Jesus, that it was him all along. Christ is present in our conversations. Hindi lamang tuwing linggo sa ating praise and worship, kundi sa mga ordinary moments in our lives. Hindi lamang sa mga masasaya, lalo’t higit sa mga masasalimuot at difficult conversations that we have to deal with. Naalala ko ‘yung chika ko, paniniwala ako nung bago ako dumating sa MCC sa Open Table. Pansin niyo ba na sa mga moments na when we have personal conversations with God, may mga times na tayo lang ‘yung nagsasalita, where we cry out to Jesus. We give thanks, we ask forgiveness, and may mga moments naman na tayo ay tahimik lang and letting our hearts speak the prayers that our mouths couldn’t utter. Parang ‘yung mga moments na ‘yon na siya naman ‘yung nangungusap sa atin. Man through words, pero alam mo at ramdam mo ‘yung healing, ‘yung kagaanan ng loob, at sa mga ganitong moments natin tila mas nararamdaman ang kanyang presence sa ating buhay. So last week ay na-mention ko ‘yung tungkol sa mga naging struggle ko sa work recently at kung paano ko binaka ‘yung feeling of being overwhelmed. I mean, I am glad that I was able to get through it, but I am also aware that it’s not the same for everyone. Some people may still be in that situation or perhaps find themselves in the loop na paulit-ulit lang or paikot-ikot lang. Sa dami ng aking iniisip—trabaho, travels, at iba pang ganap as an extrovert at natural people person. At the same time, ‘yung mga gampanin sa ating simbahan as pastor in discernment, in that journey, I stumbled upon ‘yung podcast of Coach Pia Acevedo. Kilala niyo ba si Coach Pia? So si Coach Pia is a life coach, author, and a leadership trainer with over two decades of experience in coaching and counseling. She helps people cut through confusion and live with clarity, purpose, and intention so that they can focus on what truly matters. Isa sa mga magandang napulot ko from her ay connected sa pagiging present. Hindi man lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat na marami sa ating mga akla ay mga breadwinner. Imagine as a queer person who is already struggling to fight discrimination on top of the fight for the same rights as our straight allies. Isa pa sa mga dagdag na challenge ang pagiging breadwinner. Hindi ko na alam kung ilang beses ko nang na-tackle ang topic na ito. I think deserve na nito ng isang preaching series at malalang holy conversation moments at kasama na sa mga listahan ng mga personal advocacies na malapit sa aking puso. Pero habang wala pa tayo doon, I suggest you can grab muna ‘yung copy nung books from Coach Pia. Nag-promote pa, not sponsored. So I’m yet to finish ‘yung first book and ito ‘yun. Ito ‘yung unang “Focus on What Matters”. I’m yet to finish this and plan to start ‘yung isa pa, ‘yung “Moment to Moment”, right after. I hope na makatulong ito upang magkaroon tayo ng clarity sa dami ng ating mga iniisip. So anyway, I’m sure nag-aantay na kayo kung ang haba na ng sinabi ko at wala pa ako doon sa main point. Ito na nga, bilang isang breadwinner na bakla, at another example is sa ating mga straight allies na as a parent, sa mga kapatid nating OFWs na nagtatrabaho at kumakayod , ginagawang araw ang gabi para lang makapagpadala ng pera sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. ‘Di ba nga sila ‘yung mga sagot natin sa tanong na, “Para kanino ka bumabangon?”. “Para sa pamilya, para sa future ng mga anak ko.” ‘Di bale nang magkalayo kami kaysa naman sama-sama kaming mamatay na dilat at gutom. At dahil sa dami na nating iniisip, siyempre wala na tayong capacity para sa maliliit na bagay. Tama ba?. No more time to play with the kids after work dahil madalas pagod na lang sa trabaho kung ‘di pa rin sa commute. Buti kung ganun lang, pero minsan mas malala. At personally, ganito ‘yung eksena ko nung mga unang taon ko sa BPO industry bilang isang breadwinner. Napansin ko na sobrang mainitin ang ulo ko at ang dali kong ma-trigger, ‘yung angil sa mga tao kahit na wala pa naman silang ginagawang masama or kahit sa mga maliliit na bagay. Kayo rin ba may ganitong eksena? Let’s pause for a moment at balikan ‘yung mga sandali ng ating mga buhay na tayo ay napasabi ng, “Ang dami ko nang iniisip, dumagdag pa ‘to.”. Ito ang isang manifestation ng kawalan ng clarity. Akala ko ba para sa kanila ka bumabangon, pero sila rin ‘yung unang nakakaramdam ng mga angil at frustrations mo sa buhay. And si Coach Pia reminds us that when we don’t do our inner work, we don’t just suffer alone. The people we love encounter a compromised version of us. ‘Yun ‘yon. Meet the compromised version of you. Imagine that you’re in front of the mirror ng mahiwagang salamin, boy, for a few moments. Look at that compromised version of you. Do you like what you see?. And imagine kung ano na kaya ang extent ng damage that it had cost you and your loved ones. So paano natin matutulungan ‘yung ating compromised version? What does it take to achieve clarity and focus sa ating mga buhay?. So sa book na “Focus on What Matters,” Coach Pia talks about the need for inner work, which is a journey that starts by laying the groundwork for clarity through practices like self-mastery, self-development, and self-commitment. She talked about habits that we can commit to in order to achieve personal clarity. And for today, I’d like to share to you about M.I.C.K. abbreviation siya. That stands for motivating, inspiring, cheering, and being kind to ourselves. It is both a habit that we can commit to and a muscle we exercise because, again, we can’t pour from an empty cup. And these intentional habits will help us fill our cup. So number one is ‘yung letter M, Motivation. Motivation habit is any regimen or routine that you know works well for you. It involves committing to routines, no matter how trivial, that bring out the best in you. Through these personalized activities, we nurture ourselves and anchor on the stability they provide. An example could be making your bed in the morning, listening to music, and preparing breakfast. One more example could be dedicating a time to exercise, let’s say three times a week. So how do we know if a habit or activity is worth committing to?. We know when we feel something is missing if we skip it, and when we distinctly feel recharged by integrating it into our schedule regularly. Motivation habit serves as a fuel to our tank. By committing to these habits, we experience a steady rhythm that keeps us grounded, whether these are daily, weekly, or monthly habits. Next is your Inspiration, your I. If motivation muscle provides the structure for self-care, inspiration muscle naman brings a wave of joy that refreshes us. Unlike motivation habits which follow rhythm, inspiration habits are done less frequently but offer a full recharge. It enables us to stay connected to what makes us feel alive, providing a surge of deep joy in moments when it is needed. Tapping our sources of inspiration which ignite our natural creativity can foster positive energy and overall well-being. And sabi ni Coach Pia, among doon sa mga clients niya, travel is the most common source of inspiration. We can only take trips every so often, but when we do, there’s infusion of new energy. Traveling reconnects us to the natural enthusiasm and joy reminiscent of childhood. And to activate inspiration muscle is to take ownership of your need for mga picker-upper choices and activities that infuse you with the surge of energy. Other than travel, this can also range from planning a trip or to simple pleasures like enjoying a YouTube video or tuning into a podcast. Mga ka-eme. May mga ka-eme ba dito? Yes. Or listening to music that swiftly recharges you to become your best self. Learning something new or engaging in hobbies that awaken your creativity can also serve this purpose. Even revisiting ‘yung mga old hobbies that once sparked joy can once again ignite your enthusiasm for life and tap into the best version of yourself. As clarity is a personal journey, only you yourself are capable of choosing the inspiration that you need. An inspired person feels alive. Whatever brings you inspiration is a non-negotiable in your life. Next naman is ‘yung C which stands for Cheer. Picture yourself as your own personal cheerleader. The cheer muscle involves encouraging ourselves to push past our limits, especially in our adversity. Cheer is a non-negotiable habit we put in place to help us manage stress. We can proactively anticipate stressful times and plan ahead by intentionally plotting activities and inserting habits into our schedule. This will help us manage the demand of our hectic schedule. Sensitivity toward ourselves is crucial in strengthening our cheer muscle. Start exercising sensitivity and observation skills. Look at your calendar and anticipate which specific meetings, social events, projects, or deliverables you know will trigger your stress, anxiety, or heaviness. Kumbaga paghahandaan mo na siya. Pag alam mo mas-stress ako sa week na ‘to , kailangan gumawa na ako ng mga habits na magre-recharge sa akin. This approach provides you with the support needed to manage potential heaviness or disengagement. Since we know ourselves best, let’s prepare ourselves for anticipated stress and activities. Just like a cheerleader motivates the team during the final seconds of a game, we cheer for ourselves to stay resilient and persevere towards our goals. Even when the going gets tough, our cheer muscle enables us to face life’s challenges well-prepared as they often come relentlessly unexpected. A strong cheer muscle enhances our resilience, enabling us to bounce back more quickly from stressful situations. Last naman is ‘yung Kindness. Kindness is your capacity to be nurturing, kind, patient, and compassionate towards yourself just as you would a loved one or a best friend. The strength of our kindness muscle should allow you to be intentional in your caring for others as you would care for yourself. One strong measure of the strength of your kindness muscle is our capacity to forgive ourselves, forgive others, or ask for forgiveness for when we feel we may have hurt. And kindness is the most difficult muscle to strengthen. As often than not, we did not grow up with strong models of people around us living a life of kindness, nurturing patience and love for ourselves. Nabanggit ko rin ‘to doon sa ano natin, parang hirap para sa atin na maging forgiving of ourselves. From a young age, we are also taught to prioritize the needs of others. Yet, our ability to care for others hinges on how well we take care of ourselves. Showing kindness to ourselves is important, especially when we face setbacks or disappointments. It’s about offering ourselves the same support and encouragement that we readily give others. Strengthening our kindness muscle means taking the time to pause, relax, and rest. Doing anything that nurtures you, like eating well, enjoying your favorite food, and getting plenty of sleep is essential. We must accept that we cannot always meet our own expectations and let go of attachments to specific outcomes. By forgiving ourselves when we falter, honoring the progress we’ve made, and staying open to learning from failures, we create a space for us to grow into the best versions of ourselves. Being kind to yourself is also a non-negotiable in your life. So ano siya, pwedeng magkakahalo siya, ‘yung mga what motivates you can also inspire you. Pwedeng-pwede siyang pumasok doon sa alin sa mga iyon. So our internal guide has a big say in how we make decisions. It’s all about progress, learning, and embracing our imperfections along the way. This journey of growth allows us to center ourselves and focus on what truly counts in life. The more we nurture this process, the better we become at self-care and connecting with our genuine selves. So I hope that you also learned something as much as I did nung sa book na ‘to at marami pa. Ipapa-hiram ko kasi hindi pa ako tapos. At ‘yun sa part na nai-share ko sa inyo about sa “Focus on What Matters” by Coach Pia, ito ‘yung mga simpleng bagay na pwede nating gawin para sa ating mga sarili to move from a compromised version to the best version of ourselves. Pero hindi natatapos doon ang lahat. As we strive to become the best version of ourselves, mahalaga ring pag-usapan ang pagse-set ng boundaries. Beep beep. Baka may matamaan sa pagse-set ng boundaries. Minsan parang profound pakinggan kasi nung boundaries at hindi siya ganoon ka-common sa kultura nating mga Pilipino. Pero just because it’s not common doesn’t mean hindi na natin ito dapat pagtuunan ng pansin. Halimbawa sa pagiging breadwinner, dahil ikaw na ‘yung naghahanap-buhay, mahalagang mag-set ka ng boundaries through shared responsibility sa inyong mga bahay, mga tahanan. I-delegate mo ang mga simpleng gawain upang kahit papaano ay mabawasan ang iyong iniisip. Some might say na madaling sabihin pero mahirap gawin , lalo na para sa ilan na bukod sa pagiging breadwinner ay magulang din, or to be specific, nanay. Mahirap talagang iwalay ang pagiging nanay sa pagiging provider as a mother. Pero mahalaga na naiintindihan ito ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Oo, nanay ka , maghahanda ka ng pagkain, mag-aasikaso ka ng gamit ng mga anak mo, but it’s also important to set boundaries. Tandaan mo na kailangan mo rin ng sapat na pahinga para makapag-focus ka sa trabaho na siyang nagbibigay ng kakayahan mong mag-provide para sa iyong pamilya. Kailangan itong ma-communicate. Kailangan ng maayos na usapan kung paano mas mapapagaan ang inyong sitwasyon. At isa lang ito sa marami pang mga halimbawa. Iba’t iba ‘yung dynamics ng bawat isa. Pero ang punto ay ito: Huwag mong piliting saluhin ang lahat. Matutong manghingi ng tulong kapag kailangan. Alam ko hindi ‘to madali, but I hope you are able to do so and have these conversations. After all, wala namang hindi nadadaan sa maayos na usapan. So now let’s go back to the journey ni Cleopas at isa pang disciple. Let us be reminded of their enthusiasm when they realized that they had been in conversation with Jesus all along. This story reminds us that God is always with us sa ating paglalakbay, that we can be that other disciple na unnamed. Hindi man tayo ever makapaglalakad kasama ang historical Jesus, ‘di ba, o baka sa panaginip, pero ano ba ‘yung pangako? That we have each other. We experience Christ in our many conversations with our families, with our loved ones, with our chosen families like here sa ating simbahan, at lalo na when we are intentional sa ating pakikinig at pagiging in solidarity sa iba’t iba pang community lalo na sa mga maralita. As I close this part two, keyword “close,” napaisip rin ako baka lumalayo na ako sa theme na “Christ in our conversations.”. Pero I had a Holy Spirit activate moment. I feel that this is a perfect opportunity to also talk about self-love —ang matutunang makinig sa kung anong sinasabi ng ating mga katawan at isip. After all, magkaugnay ang pagkakaroon ng personal clarity sa ating buhay at ang pagkakaroon ng meaningful conversations sa ating kapwa. By building these small habits for ourselves ay mas mapapayabong natin ang ating mga conversation at ang pag-unawa sa journey ng bawat isa, dahil hindi naman tayo pare-pareho ng kwento, and that’s the beauty of our diversity. Maaaring hindi tayo pare-pareho ng ating pinagdadaanang struggle pero pareho lang naman ang ating pinaglalaban. At sa bawat pakikipag-usap natin sa iba, we find Christ in their stories and hope that they find Christ in us and through us. Napapalalim ang ating pakikipagbahagi at pakikisangkot sa pakikinig ng kanilang kwento. We hold the power to carry these stories and share them with others. And being with Open Table MCC for almost 10 years now, marami na akong nakasama, nakasalamuha, nakadaupang-palad, nakausap at narinig ng mga kwento—ang mga Lumad, ang mga persons deprived of liberty sa QC Women’s Penitentiary , ang mga magsasaka sa Lupang Ramos, ang mga batang PLHIV na nasa pangangalaga ng Duyan Foundation at Project Red Ribbon, at ang ilan sa mga communities na naabutan ng tulong ng Pride Cares, mga nasalanta ng bagyo sa Rodriguez, Rizal at iba pang naabutan ng tulong through our partnership sa iba’t iba pang LGBTQIA+ organizations. Ang kanilang mga kwento ay patuloy kong dadalhin at subukang maibahagi sa marami pang pakikipag-usap, lalo na sa panibagong responsibility as pastor in discernment. Ganito rin ang sinasabi ko sa mga students who come and be in immersion with us. Iilan lang sa kanila ang bakla at may katulad na kwento sa atin, pero ibinabahagi natin ang ating mga kwento in the hope na dalhin nila ito as they go on in their lives hanggang makarating na sila sa kanilang adulting journey, sharing the good news sa mga kapwa nila estudyante who still struggle to resolve their sexuality with their spirituality, to tell them about the small church where you can come as you are in your most authentic self, where you can express your love of God in the most fantabulous and flamboyant way. Amen ba? At bilang Easter people, dahil hindi lang natapos ang kwento sa muling pagkabuhay ni Kristo, let us be reminded that we are the continuation of the story. Galing kay RD ‘yan at lagi kong panghahawakan ‘yang narinig ko sa preaching niya. Ayan, nawala na ako. And with that comes the power na magpatuloy at bilang Open Table MCC to have meaningful conversations, even difficult ones, to take part in the call for ceasefire and to put an end to meaningless war. Conversations that continue to create safe spaces, and our participation in the wider work of justice and peace through Jesus who proclaimed a radically inclusive love for all people, at ‘pag kinakailangan ay harapin ang mga usapang mahirap lalo na sa mga kakilala or kapamilya natin na patuloy nagbubulag-bulagan at pumipili at naghahalal ng mga leader na corrupt at sangkot sa katiwalian. Hindi man ito madali, I hope that we’re always reminded na parte rin sila ng pinaglalaban, that there’s more that unites us than separates us. Let us also be intentional sa pangangamusta sa mga mahal natin sa buhay knowing always that Jesus is present in our conversations to speak with love and compassion. At kung ikaw naman ‘yung may kinikimkim sa loob mo kung ano man ‘yan, I hope that the Holy Spirit touches your heart so you can find the courage to have that conversation, one that could inspire, heal, and transform you and others, knowing that God, Jesus, will be there with you. Amen. The post Easter: The Walk To Emmaus Part 2 appeared first on Open Table Metropolitan Community Church.

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:13-35 NRSVUE Isang mapayapang araw sa inyong lahat. For today and the next dalawang Linggo, iisang Scripture reading lamang ang ating tatalakayin, ngunit hahatiin natin ang preaching sa tatlong bahagi. For this Sunday, I'd like to talk about being present. Sa ating buhay, madalas tayong nagiging masyadong pokus sa pagtapos ng mga gawain (tasks). Masyado tayong nagmamadali na nakakalimutan na nating maramdaman o ma-appreciate ang proseso—ang “smelling the roses” at ang tunay na pag-enjoy sa journey. Nang una kong mabasa ang tekstong ito mula sa Ebanghelyo ni Lucas (The Road to Emmaus), naisip ko: “Parang ang lakas mang-power trip ni Jesus?” Dahil sa isang kisap-mata, pinigilan niyang makilala siya ng mga alagad, at sa isang kisap-mata rin ay ipinakilala niya ang kanyang sarili. Pero kalaunan, na-realize ko na si Jesus ay kasama na nila sa buong biyahe. Hindi niya ito ginawa para paglaruan sila; sadyang ang dalawang alagad ay masyadong nakapokus sa ibang bagay. Marahil sila ay puno ng kalituhan at emosyon dahil sa balita ng muling pagkabuhay. Unveiling the Characters: Who Was on the Road? Habang binabasa ang kuwento, may mga tanong na lumitaw sa isip ko: Bakit sila papuntang Emmaus? Taga-doon ba sila? At isa pang mahalagang tanong: Sino ang kasama ni Cleopas? Sa kuwento, si Cleopas lamang ang pinangalanan. Sabi ng ilang scholars, maaaring si Simon Peter ito, pero marami ang naniniwala na ang kasama niya ay si Mary of Cleopas—ang kanyang asawa. Ayon sa tradisyon ng Simbahan, si Cleopas ay kapatid ni Jose (na asawa ni Maria, ang ina ni Jesus). Ibig sabihin, sila ay magbilas. Bago natin sagutin ang ibang tanong, nais kong bigyang-diin ang presensya ng mga kababaihan sa buhay at ministeryo ni Jesus. Mula simula hanggang sa krus, at maging sa muling pagkabuhay, laging nandoon ang mga babae. Sila ang may lakas ng loob at pananampalataya na hindi iniwan si Jesus. Minsan, ang pangalawang disipulo ay sadyang hindi pinangalanan sa Bibliya upang makita natin ang ating mga sarili sa kuwento. Tayo ang kasama ni Cleopas sa paglalakad. The Retreat from Hope Bakit nga ba sila papuntang Emmaus? Walang record na taga-doon sila. Maaaring ito ay nagsilbing temporary refuge o “halfway house” para sa kanila. Alam natin ang nangyari: Marami ang umasa na si Jesus ang magpapalaya sa kanila mula sa Imperyong Romano. Nang siya ay mamatay, tila namatay din ang kanilang mga pangarap. Ang pag-alis nila sa Jerusalem patungong Emmaus ay simbolo ng kanilang pag-atras mula sa pag-asa at komunidad. Ngunit narito ang maganda: Ang pagpapakita ni Jesus sa kalsada ay patunay na ang “Divine Presence” ay sumasalamin sa atin kahit sa mga sandaling tayo ay tumatalikod na sa pag-asa. Si Jesus ang nag-adjust para sa kanila. Nakipagtagpo siya sa kanila kung nasaan man sila. Ipinahayag niya ang kanyang sarili sa pamamagitan ng Kasulatan at sa pagpipiraso ng tinapay (Breaking of the Bread). At nang muling mag-alab ang pag-asa sa kanilang puso, bumalik agad sila sa Jerusalem nang gabing iyon upang magbahagi ng mabuting balita. Vulnerability as Strength Sa ating sariling buhay, madalas tayong nahihirapang lumapit sa Diyos kapag tayo ay nasa gitna ng pagsubok. Kadalasan, lumalapit lang tayo para magpasalamat kapag “tapos na” ang problema. Minsan naman, lumalapit lang tayo kapag nasa breaking point na tayo. Hindi ba natin naiisip na sa gitna ng ating mabigat na problema, malumanay na tumatawag si Jesus: “Hello, I am here. You can be vulnerable with me.” Your vulnerability is as beautiful as your strength. Madalas din nating mahalin ang ating “privacy” hanggang sa punto na hindi na tayo nakakapag-open up sa mga kaibigan o mahal sa buhay. Sinasabi lang natin ang kuwento kapag “overcome” na natin ang challenge. Paano naman yung mga struggle na kasalukuyan nating nilalabanan? Nasaan ang diwa ng komunidad? Bilang inyong pastor, nais kong malaman ninyo na maaari kayong maging vulnerable sa akin. Maaaring hindi ko masolusyunan ang lahat ng inyong problema, lalo na kung pinansyal, pero nangangako akong sasamahan ko kayo sa inyong paglalakbay. We are here to journey with you in your “Emmaus moments.” Learning to Pause Sa gitna ng trabaho at buhay, marami tayong bitbit na “baggages”: job security, inflation, midlife crisis, and the search for purpose. Para silang mabibigat na bag na isa-isang pinapasan hanggang sa tayo ay “ma-freeze” o ma-paralyze sa bigat. Minsan, kailangan nating tumigil at mag-assess: Bakit ito mabigat? 2. Alin sa mga ito ang pwede ko nang bitawan? 3. Alin dito ang pwede kong ipagkatiwala sa iba? Huwag nating kalimutang tumingin sa paligid. May mga taong handang tumulong sa pagpasan ng ating dalahin. Matutong huminga, tumigil, at pahalagahan ang mga kasama sa journey. Conclusion: Today is a Gift Bilang isang “frustrated wanderlust,” aminado akong hindi ako magaling sa direksyon o Maps. Umaasa lang ako sa mga landmarks. Sa paggamit ng mapa, mahalagang malaman mo muna kung nasaan ka (orienting yourself) bago mo malaman kung saan ka pupunta. Gayundin sa ating spiritual journey: Minsan kailangan nating mag-reflect kung nasaan na tayo. Gamitin natin si Jesus bilang ating compass at ang ating komunidad bilang sacred space para sa paghilom. Tandaan natin: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That's why it's called the PRESENT. Pahalagahan natin ang kasalukuyan at magtiwala na ang Kristong nabuhay ay kasama natin sa bawat hakbang ng ating paglalakbay.

Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one. Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight and neither ate nor drank. Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. At this moment he is praying, and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem, and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who invoke your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” So Ananias went and entered the house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized. Acts 9:1-18 (NRSVUE) Isang mapagpalayang araw sa lahat ng kababaihan. Ngayon ay Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Kababaihan (International Women’s Day). Inaalala natin ang mga dakilang kababaihan sa kasaysayan—ang ating mga ina, kapatid, asawa, kasamahan sa trabaho, mga lingkod-bayan, at lingkod-simbahan na patuloy na bumubuo ng mas mabuting mundo at kinabukasan para sa ating lahat. Tayo ay nasa Lenten series pa rin ng ating simbahan. Noong nakaraang dalawang linggo, tinalakay ni Pastor Jom ang kalikasan ng “sin theology”. Noong nakaraang linggo naman, pinaalalahanan tayo tungkol sa Juan 3:16, ang ating paboritong memory verse, ngunit binigyang-diin din ang talata 17: na hindi tayo nais hatulan ng Diyos. Sa hapong ito, ipagpapatuloy natin ang talakayan at magpopokus sa kung ano ang susunod. Susubukan nating unawain ang Metanoia. Ang Metanoia ay kombinasyon ng dalawang salitang Griyego: ang “Meta” na nangangahulugang beyond, after, o change; at “Noos” na ang ibig sabihin ay perception, understanding, o mind. Sa Griyegong Bagong Tipan, karaniwan itong isinasalin sa Ingles bilang repentance o pagsisisi. Kaya naman sa Marcos 1:15, sinabi ni Jesus: “Magsisi (repent) at maniwala sa mabuting balita dahil malapit na ang kaharian ng Diyos”. Sa Gawa 2:38, sa sermon ni Pedro noong Pentecostes, sinabi rin niya: “Magsisi (repent) at magpabinyag ang bawat isa sa inyo sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo upang mapatawad ang inyong mga kasalanan”. Sa tradisyong Kristiyano at teolohiya, tinitingnan ang metanoia bilang isang karanasan ng konbersyon—isang pagbabago mula sa lumang gawi patungo sa bago at mas mabuting buhay. Sa kuwento ni Saul, makikita natin na ang tunay na pagbabago ay madalas nagsisimula sa isang hindi inaasahang pagtatagpo o mystical experience. Habang si Saul ay naglalakad patungong Damascus—bitbit ang kanyang mga plano at awtoridad—bigla siyang nabulag ng isang matinding liwanag. Dito natin makikita ang ironya: si Saul, na akala ay “nakikita” ang lahat at alam ang lahat ng tama, ay kailangang mabulag upang tunay na makakita. Ang kanyang pisikal na pagkabulag ay sumasalamin sa kanyang espirituwal na kalagayan. Sa loob ng tatlong araw, siya ay nasa dilim—walang pagkain, walang inumin, at walang kasiguruhan. Ito ang yugto ng paglilinis, ang sandali kung saan ang lahat ng kanyang pinaniniwalaan ay gumuho upang bigyang-daan ang isang bagong katotohanan. Upang mas maunawaan ang pinagdaanan ni Saul, maaari nating gamitin ang konsepto ng Old Testament scholar na si Walter Brueggemann tungkol sa buhay ng pananampalataya. Ayon sa kanya, ang ating buhay ay dumadaan sa isang cycle: Orientation: Ito ang panahon kung saan maayos ang lahat. Alam natin ang ating gagawin, kontrolado natin ang sitwasyon, at panatag ang ating loob sa ating mga nakasanayan. Ito si Saul bago ang Damascus. Disorientation: Ito ang “madilim na gabi ng kaluluwa.” Dito pumapasok ang krisis, pagkabulag, at ang pagkawala ng kontrol. Ito ang tatlong araw ni Saul sa Damascus kung saan ang kanyang mundo ay nagulo. New Orientation: Ito ang yugto ng Metanoia. Hindi tayo bumabalik sa dati; sa halip, tayo ay nagiging bagong nilalang na may mas malalim na pag-unawa at mas malawak na pananaw. Ang pagbabagong-loob ay hindi lamang tungkol sa paghinto sa paggawa ng masama, kundi ang pagyakap sa isang bagong paraan ng pag-iisip at pamumuhay na mas malapit sa puso ng Diyos. Ang Metanoia o ang pagbabago ng isip ay dapat humantong sa Metamorphosis—ang pagbabago ng anyo o buhay. Tulad ng isang uod na nagiging lilibuyo, ang ating pagbabago ay dapat maging kitang-kita sa ating mga gawa at pakikitungo sa kapwa. Ang pagbabago ay hindi isang minsang kaganapan lamang; ito ay isang patuloy na proseso. Sabi nga ni Hesus, tayo ay tinatawag na mamuhay sa liwanag. Ang mga “kaliskis” na nalaglag sa mga mata ni Saul ay simbolo ng pag-alis ng ating mga maling akala, paghuhusga, at poot sa ating mga puso. Sa kuwento, makikita natin na hindi lamang si Saul ang sumailalim sa metanoia. Si Ananias din ay kinailangan ng pagbabago ng isip. Takot siya kay Saul dahil sa reputasyon nito, ngunit sumunod siya sa utos ng Panginoon. Tinawag niya si Saul na “Kapatid na Saul” (Brother Saul)—isang pagkilala na ang dating kaaway ay isa na ngayong kapamilya sa pananampalataya. Ito ang hamon sa atin: Handa ba nating tanggapin ang mga taong nagbago na, o patuloy natin silang huhusgahan base sa kanilang nakaraan? Ang metanoia ay hindi lamang para sa “masasamang tao” na kailangang maging mabuti, kundi para rin sa mga “mabubuting tao” na kailangang maging mas mapagmahal at mapagpatawad. Ang pagbabago ay hindi natatapos sa isang iglap. Tulad ng nabanggit natin, ang metanoia ay dapat humantong sa isang tuloy-tuloy na metamorphosis. Bilang mga Kristiyano, tinawag tayo ni Hesus na lumakad sa liwanag. Hindi tayo iniwan sa ating lumang kalagayan; patuloy tayong hinuhubog ng Diyos araw-araw. Sa pagtatapos ng ating pagninilay sa Lenten series na ito, nawa’y maging tapat tayo sa ating sarili. Siyasatin natin ang ating mga puso: Ano-anong mga “maskara” ang kailangan nating tanggalin? Ano-anong mga “kaliskis” sa ating mga mata ang kailangang malaglag upang tunay nating makita ang pangangailangan ng ating kapwa? Ang tunay na pagsisisi ay hindi lamang pag-iyak sa ating mga pagkakamali, kundi ang matapang na paghakbang patungo sa direksyong nais ng Diyos para sa atin.

We recently covered an SMFM abstract that was presented at the annual Pregnancy Meeting held in early February 2026. The authors were from my Alma Mater, UT Southwestern/Parkland Hospital. This was a well-done study comparing 162 milligrams aspirin to 81 milligrams of aspirin. The results were very encouraging! However, aspirin definitely has an awkward acumen. It would be wonderful if ALL the data just leaned in the same direction... but it doesn't! Enter our podcast family member, and my friend Alex. Alex sent me an incredible and insightful message which was a rebuttal to my Southwestern colleagues' findings. In this episode you'll hear Alex's rebuttal and clinical conundrum, and we will explain why these two seemingly paradoxical findings makes sense. Listen in for details.1.
