Speak up on behalf of other people/
Go for truth. Go for substance..

By Fr. Jerry M. Orbos, SVD
Inquirer

We are duty-bound to speak up on behalf of other people.

More so are the bishops and priests, by virtue of their
priestly, kingly and prophetic ministry. We must take a
good look at what is happening around us and listen to the
signs of the times, and speak up. We cannot just keep quiet
as if everything is normal, even if our people are being
stabbed already. Who will speak out for our people? Who will
stand up on their behalf? Where are the shepherds of the sheep?

Who are the caretakers for those who are being the caregivers
of others? Who is protecting those who millions idolize and
admire?

There are two ways of silencing a barking dog. One way is by
scaring it away, and the other way is by throwing food on its
way. Thieves are experts in doing this, and, more often than
not, they do get away with it. But not if the dog has a master
on its side, from whom it can take orders. But come to think
of it, there will be no thieves in the first place if there
are ever-watchful dogs and vigilant masters by their side.
At any rate, let us not be intimidated by force, or be silenced
by perks.

Lent is all about going beyond one's comfort zones. Penance,
sacrifices, acts of charity, sharing, moments of prayer are
beautiful offerings, especially in this Lenten season.

All these add up to a person's willingness to let go of one's
selfishness and greed. Aside from the glory we give to God,
and the concrete help we give to others, we who go beyond
our comfort zones do good to our own selves because we become
more whole and more free by doing so. Be good to yourself-be
less selfish and greedy, and you are free. Let go, and let God,
and you are never in want.

What if Jesus never spoke up? What if He never told the truth
and fought for it? What if He never blew His top for the sake
of God and for others? Then He would have been an incidental
person just like you and me, and he would not have made at all
a difference in human history. Forget form, forget fame.
Go for truth. Go for substance

What if Jesus never spoke up? Then the lies, injustices,
malpractices during His time would have gone on and on.
Then there would have been no real change or conversion.
Yes, precisely, things would have been the same, "as it
was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

Have a happy and holy reflective time
this lent season, Regine fans..

For those who care and are concern for Regine the person

you can show your support by first learning about what
you need to know about the artist's character and why
she is being under attack by a certain media practitioner
who turned out to the entire showbiz artist detractor
I know some has been trying to track down for more
than a decade.

You can learn about it from stories posted in the
Regine fans forum boards sponsored by the Music Inside
Buzz web site and the Regine fans Bird Nest group.
