ICYMI. 'Marytrdom is about witnessing – pagpapatotoo, pagsaksi sa totoo kahit ipagdusa mo pa o ikamatay ito,' says CBCP president and Kalookan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David in his Good Friday homily. HolyWeek
David likened Jesus to the red-tagged activists, saying Jesus was crucified because of false accusations that he was out to bring down the Roman Empire, like how human rights defenders are being linked to armed rebel communists whose intent is to overthrow the civil government.cleared by a court recently.
“Porke nagse-serve sa mga dukha, komunista kaagad? Hindi ba puwedeng Kristiyano muna? Ganyan din ang pang-re-red-tag na ginawa kay Hesus…at take note, related siya sa isang kilalang aktibistang propeta na ang pangalan ay John the Baptist na kapag nagsalita ay maaanghang din ang salita. Ayun, subersibo daw.
David said like Jesus, who also had a cardboard calling him King of the Jews when he was crucified, the killed drug suspects were also found with cardboards calling them addicts.Yung mga nanonood, magbubulungan, sasabihin nila, ‘Addict naman pala eh, siguro okay lang, tutal salot naman ng lipunan ang pinapatay.’ At saka ka lang magre-react kung anak mo na ang pinatay.
David said Jesus was well aware of the danger of the truth he was professing, but the bishop said martyrdom should not always be about sacrificing one’s life.Ang martyrdom, hindi ‘yan tungkol sa pagpapakamata. Marytrdom is about witnessing – pagpapatotoo, pagsaksi sa totoo kahit ipagdusa mo pa o ikamatay ito,David said fake news travels fast because it is viral.
