August 29, 2022 - Are you a sin protector or sin destroyer? Fr Ciano Ubod Homily - Saint Mark 6:17-29 More Homily from the Gospel of Mark 6: A Prophet Without Honor - https://bit.ly/3rrrC4o Gospel: Saint Mark 6:17-29 ========== 🙏🙏🙏 ========== Monday of the Twenty-second week in Ordinary Time Memorial of the Passion of Saint John the Baptist Herod was the one who had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married. John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him in custody. When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him. She had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers, and the leading men of Galilee. Herodias's own daughter came in and performed a dance that delighted Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you." He even swore (many things) to her, "I will grant you whatever you ask of me, even to half of my kingdom." She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptist." The girl hurried back to the king's presence and made her request, "I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist." The king was deeply distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests he did not wish to break his word to her. So he promptly dispatched an executioner with orders to bring back his head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison. He brought in the head on a platter and gave it to the girl. The girl in turn gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. Cebuano Translation ========== 🙏🙏🙏 ========== Ikakawhaag-Duha nga Semana Sulod sa Tuig - Lunes Pagpasakit ni San Juan nga Magbubunyag, Martir Si Herodes mismo mao ang nagpadakop, nagpagapos, ug nagpabilanggo kang Juan. Gihimo niya kini tungod kang Herodias nga iyang gipangasawa, bisan kon si Herodias asawa ni Felipe nga iyang igsuon. Kay si Juan gud nagpunay ma’g sulti kang Herodes, “Dili matarong nga makigpuyo ka sa asawa sa imong igsuon.” Tungod niini, nagdumot si Herodias kang Juan ug naninguha sa pagpatay kaniya, apan wala siya makahimo niini kay wala man siya tugoti ni Herodes. Nahadlok si Herodes kang Juan kay nasayod man siya nga si Juan maayo ug balaan nga tawo, busa iya siyang gipanalipdan. Gusto si Herodes mamati kaniya bisan tuod masamok ang iyang hunahuna inigkabati niya sa tanan nga isulti ni Juan. Sa katapusan nakahigayon ra gayod Si Herodias. Nahitabo kadto sa sumad sa adlaw’ng natawhan ni Herodes. Niadtong higayona nagkombira si Herodes ug gidapit niya ang tanang kadagkoan sa kagamhanan, ingon man ang mga pangulo sa kasundaloan, ug ang mga inilang molupyo sa Galilea. Ang anak nga babaye ni Herodias misulod ug misayaw ug nakapahimuot siya ni Herodes ug sa iyang mga bisita. Busa ang hari miingon sa dalagita, “Unsay may imong gusto? Ihatag ko kanimo bisag unsay imong pangayoon.” Nakasaad pa gani siya uban ang pagpanumpa nga nag-ingon, “Ihatag ko kanimo ang tanan nga imong pangayoon bisan pag ang katunga sa akong gingharian.” Busa migula ang dalagita ug nangutana sa iyang inahan, “Unsa may akong pangayoon?” “Ang ulo ni Juan,” mitubag ang inahan. Ang dalagita midali pagbalik ngadto sa hari ug miingon, “Ihatag kanako karon dayon ang ulo ni Juan diha sa bandihado.” Nakapasubo kini pag-ayo sa hari, apan wala siya makabalibad tungod sa iyang gipanumpa atubangan sa tanan niyang mga bisita. Busa dihadiha nagsugo siya’g usa ka sundalo nga punggotan sa ulo si Juan. Milakaw ang sundalo ug miadto sa bilanggoan ug gipunggotan si Juan. Unya gidala niya ang ulo nga gibutang sa bandihado ug gihatag ngadto sa dalagita, ug gihatag usab kini sa dalagita ngadto sa iyang inahan. Sa pagkadungog sa mga tinun-an ni Juan mahitungod niini, miadto sila ug gikuha nila ang iyang Iawas ug gilubong.
