And the Lord turned and looked at Peter… (Lk 22:61) THE GAZE OF THE CRUCIFIED LORD Love and Compassion, Forgiveness and Challenge CBCP Message Opening of the Year of the Poor 2015 When you gaze into the eyes of the Crucified Lord, and he gazes into yours, you encounter the love of the Resurrected Lord.  Many prefer not to look.  Many recoil at looking into the eyes of a man in deadly pain.  Many balk at having to respond to love.  But these are not the eyes of a defeated man, condemned for criminal insurrection.  They are the eyes of an unlikely King, who in dealing death its death blow, still looks into our eyes with challenge.   In his love is his call to the Kingdom of his Father, his Kingdom of justice, compassion, peace and life to the full.

  5 Sino ang nagtata-gumpay laban sa sanlibutan? Ang sinumang sumasampalataya na si Jesus ang Anak ng Diyos.                 6 Si Jesu-Cristo ang naparito sa pamamagitan ng tubig at ng dugo. Hindi sa pamamagitan ng tubig lamang kundi sa pamamagitan ng tubig at dugo. Ang Espiritu ang nagpapatotoo tungkol dito, sapagkat ang Espiritu ay katotohanan.  7-8 Tatlo ang nagpapatotoo: a  ang Espiritu, ang tubig, at ang dugo; at ang tatlong ito ay nagkakaisa.  9 Kung pinaniniwalaan natin ang patotoo ng mga tao, higit nating dapat paniwalaan ang patotoo ng Diyos, at ito ang patotoo ng Diyos tungkol sa kanyang Anak.  10 Ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa Anak ng Diyos ay naniniwala sa patotoong ito. Ngunit ang Diyos ay ginagawang sinungaling ng sinumang hindi sumampalataya sa Diyos, sapagkat hindi ito naniniwala sa patotoo niya tungkol sa kanyang Anak.  11 At ito ang patotoo: ipinagkaloob...
