A new bond of love & life
The first reading this Sunday tells us that our journey to transfiguration happens from within, by our hearts being changed. The prophet Jeremiah looks forward to a new covenant between God and his people. This covenant will not be written in stone, but in human hearts. This new covenant cannot be broken since God always forgives and never remembers our sins. It is in our hearts that we learn the truth about the strength of God’s love for us and recognise ourselves as God’s own people.
There is a lovely phrase in the preface of Eucharistic Prayer for Reconciliation I which captures this sense: You have bound the human family to yourself through Jesus your Son, our Redeemer, with a new bond of love so tight that it can never be undone.
The words of John’s Gospel help answer the question about how this covenant is made. God’s love is revealed in a weak and suffering human being through whom God offers his own life as the pledge of love and forgiveness which seals this new covenant.
When some Greeks come asking to see Jesus he knows his preaching is complete and that ‘the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified’.
Unless the grain of wheat dies, it remains all alone. If it dies it yields a ‘rich harvest’. Jesus’ death yields a rich harvest of followers with whom and in whom he is always present. We are not left to make the journey from temptation to transfiguration alone - Jesus is our constant companion. He is the way by which we get from one to the other.
Faith in (seeing) Jesus, draws us out of temptation and into transfiguration – to be the living presence of God in the world, the meeting places between human need and God’s compassion, to be light and life for one another.
If we, too, ‘want to see Jesus’ we must look into our own hearts. It is there that God writes his law of love in the person of his Son. It is there that we discover the presence of One who loves us beyond death and who gently refashions us into the image and likeness of his Son.

Konferência Hadomi Timor De quarta à sexta dessa semana, aconteceu a Konferência Hadomi Timor, que reuniu irmãos de diversas denominações, na Igreja Elshaddai, em Pantai-Kalapa, Dili, Timor-Leste. O tema da Conferência foi "Jerasaun Los", "Uma geração Justa" ou "Geração de Justos". Não no sentido de que a geração passada não era justa, mas entendi o seguinte: 1. as bençãos de Deus são para a nossa geração; 2. a nossa geração é abençoada para abençoar também a mesma geração; 3. justo porque recebemos uma benção especial de Deus; 4. justos para ser benção na família, na igreja e na comunidade; 5. benção para toda a nação e para o mundo todo, pois o mundo pertence a Deus; No último dia foi falado que já estávamos cheios e transbordantes, agora era hora de ir ser benção para cada distrito, cidade, aldeia a que fôssemos. Nem todos levaram esse tempo a sério, mas o que mais me marcou foi o momento de intercessão por cada um dos distritos. Também no último dia, a pastora Branca mostrou cada um dos materiais a que a Igreja timorense tem acesso. E celebrou, pois está aqui há 20 anos e há bem pouco tempo não havia esses recursos. Que Deus abençoe a Igreja timorense, o povo timorense, os missionários entre os timorenses e que nacionais e malais tenham olhos abertos para ver o que Deus está fazendo nesta nação e ser um cooperador!

This momentum creates a solid foundation for even greater achievements in 2024. Hilton Unveils Global Expansion Plans Hilton Leads the Charge in New Hotel Construction Hilton currently boasts the most new rooms under construction compared to any other hotel company globally.

Atambua
NTT#1
Ini kisah lama, sekitar 2016. Masih single, baru aja selesai yudisium. Akhir tahun itu memutuskan angkat ransel dan bertekad menjelajahi sebagian wilayah NTT sendirian, lebih tepatnya Atambua di perbatasan Indonesia-Timor Leste dan Pulau Ndana Rote di perbatasan Indonesia-Australia. Kali ini, fokus ke perjalanan pergi dan pulang dari Atambua.
Aku menginjakkan kaki pertama kali di Kupang dan menginap di rumah temannya teman. Rencanaku mau keliling kota Kupang dulu baru berangkat, biar gak ngadi-ngadi karena gak punya kenalan, kuhubungilah ketua 1000 guru sulteng dan minta dikenalkan sama salah satu pengurus 1000 guru Kupang. Kenapa? Karena menurutku komunitas kerelawanan pasti legowo untuk saling memperkenalkan teman dan sejalan dengan tujuanku yaitu Travelling.
Masuklah satu kontak di Line ku waktu itu yang ternyata nomor Ketua nya langsung. Wahhh bingung juga mau ngobrol sama ketua. Tapi gak ada pilihan, maka kusampaikanlah maksudku gimana caranya buat nyampe di Atambua versi transportasi publik. Jadi, waktu itu medsos tu belum se masif sekarang di 2023. Sepanjang pencarianku di Youtube dan #atambua di Instagram info nya tidak banyak. Pun yang benar-benar kasi penjelasan tentang Atambua cuma 1 orang, kebetulan dia pernah PPG di sana dan menjelajahi sekitarnya. Persis seperti tujuanku cuma versiku tidak by program jadi benar-benar jalan dan cari caranya sendirian.
Sampai aku tiba di Kupang, informasiku masih sebatas Aku tau posisinya di peta dimana, berapa lama waktu tempuh perjalanannya, do and don't selama di sana apa aja, sejarahnya gimana. Tapi how to get there by public transportation Aku masih bingung. Syukurnya aku disambut hangat, Aku tidak dijelaskan gimana caranya sampe sana tapi Aku diajak ikut program Travelling and Teaching yang lokasinya mengarah ke Atambua. Ini tu sama dengan program yang dulu kuikuti di 1000 guru Sulteng. Bedanya kali ini aku tidak perlu ikut seleksi, jadi kaya semi peserta aja.
Aku bingung kan ya jadi jobdesk nya gimana karena Aku bukan peserta tapi diluar dugaanku Aku tu diperlakukan persis sama peserta lainnya bahkan dilibatkan dalam prosesi pembukaan, ikut bantu bagi-bagi bingkisan ke anak-anak. Dari awal sampe akhir bener-bener gak ada bedanya sama peserta lain padahal gak ikut seleksi and such unforgetable moment for me. Waktu masih di Kupang aku ditawari untuk dicarikan bus ke arah Atambua pas kegiatannya selesai dan Aku iyakan dengan tawaran balik boleh ga Aku bayar juga seperti peserta lainnya. Gimanapun kan perjalanannya jauh, aku makan juga di sana. Awalnya ditolak, gak usah bayar apa-apa, ikut aja, cuma aku gak enak kalau cuma nebeng aja. Akhirnya deal meski waktu itu Aku bingung juga dapat tambahan duit 300rb an tu darimana soalnya benar-benar berangkat dengan budget pas pasan yang kuperkirakan bisa pergi dan pulang.
Eh tapi, Aku tu tiap mau nyerahin duit selalu dialihkan, kaya gak mau kalau Aku bayar. Pas acaranya selesai aku mau nyerahin duit lagi tapi dikasi tau "Ika... Uang transportnya nanti aja, kita kan masih ketemu di Kupang lagi nanti" trus dia bilangnya buru-buru kaya udah gak sempat aja gitu. It help me much sebenarnya hehehe. Karena aku bisa punya pegangan yang cukup untuk di Atambua.
Yang bikin Aku terharu juga, pas momen udah diperjalanan meninggalkan lokasi. Kan kita ada 2 bus nih, terus di lokasi tertentu, dua bus ini berhenti karena Ketua sama beberapa pengurusnya nyari dan nungnguin bus buat aku tumpangin ke Atambua. Diurus sampai sebegitunya, ransel diangkatkan, tempat duduk dicarikan. Dipastikan aku tu benar-benar aman selama perjalanan. Orang-orang membantuku gak tanggung-tanggung.
Rencananya di Atambua aku mau nyari penginapan. Tapi di ranselku ada tenda yang kalau-kalau ada kesulitan, aku bisa nginap di pusat keamanan kaya kantor polisi atau di masjid (Aku merinding pas nulis kalimat barusan, Aku tu seberani itu ya 🥺). Pada akhirnya soal tempat tinggal Aku dapat tempat gratis dari peserta 1000 guru juga. Sedikit banyaknya, rencanaku ini mencuri perhatian. Sering ditanya pas awal-awal acara. "Ini Ika yang mau ke Atambua yaa" terus kaya di luar jangkauan aja ada orang mau ke Atambua sendirian.
Aku dikasi nomor temannya dan dicarikan rumah penduduk suku Bugis sesuai asalku. Detail perjalanannya sih panjang banget, tapi garis besarnya kurang lebih seperti tulisan ini. Di Atambua, Aku dilayani baik sekali sama pemilik rumah, di ajak ngomong tentang Sulawesi, tentang merantau, dan ada apa aja di Atambua. Pemilik rumahnya adalah Ibu dua anak. Kebetulan anaknya masih kecil-kecil.
Terus aku keliling benar-benar menyusuri tempat-tempat indahnya, dari jembatan yang punya satu garis ditengah, kalau kita melangkah, satu kaki ada di Timor Leste, satunya lagi di Indonesia. Mengunjungi rumah-rumah adatnya di atas gunung. Melihat perbatasan hutan Indonesia-Timor Leste, tempat yang dulunya perang berkecamuk disitu. Dari gunung turun ke pantai melewati pada savana dan bukit bukit kering yang Masya Allah cantik bangeeetttt. Rasanya Aku pengen singgah di tiap belokan. Keren sih emang alamnya Indonesia tu. Dan perjalanan di Atambua ini kuakhiri dengan menikmati senja di Kolam Susu, lokasi inspirasi dari lagu Koes Plus. Tempat itu benar-benar nyata adanya. Bagaimana lirik lagunya ya begitulah tempatnya.
Sepanjang perjalanan itu Aku merasa seperti "hidup". Jadi bagiku yang namanya Travelling atau backpackeran benar-benar bikin jiwaku menyala. Aku suka dan selalu mencari feeling itu. Makanya, pas mau pulang Aku tu gak berhenti berterima kasih sama orang-orang yang ikhlas menolong, kenapa? Karena awalnya kita gak kenal. Sekedar cuma kasi tau arahnya belok kanan atau belok kiki itu bantuan yang luar biasa. Dan karena itu juga Aku tu selalu minta supaya dipertemukan sama orang-orang yang baik...
.
.
.
Well... Sekian cerita singkatku tentang Atambua 💛💛💛 Aku senang bisa menulisnya, setidaknya untuk kubaca lagi nanti 😊

On 7 January Fr Bruce Clark (Prior Provincial) admitted 9 young Carmelites in Timor-Leste to the ministries of Lector (Reader) and Acolyte (Server). The ceremony was help during mass at the Carmelite Community, Hera.
Lectors proclaim the Word of God in liturgical assemblies, instruct adults and children in the faith and prepare them to receive the sacraments. Acolytes assist the priest during the celebration of the Eucharist, holding the Missal, preparing the altar and the vessels and cleaning them after Communion. They may also distribute Communion if necessary. For those preparing for Priesthood in the Church, receiving these ministries is another step on their journey to Ordination.
The brothers who received the ministry of Lector were: Brs Virgilio De Jesus Brites, Honorio Pereira Bobo Lobato, Ponciano Norberto De Deus and Nataçio De Jesus Maia.
Brs Calisto Pereira Rodriguês, Pedro Rodriguês Ximenes, Aleixo Coli De Deus, Zebedeu De Jesus Vidigal and Gaudencio Do Rosario received the ministry of Acolyte.
Congratulations to these brothers on taking these steps towards Ordination.

O "Dia dos Mortos", como era de se imaginar, é o principal feriado de uma sociedade que presta culto aos ancestrais mortos e foi colonizada por Portugal, sofrendo assim influências católicas. Nem mesmo no Brasil, ainda que em Dia de Finados, eu vi um cemitério tão cheio. Não havia um túmulo sequer que não tivesse flores e/ou velas e uma grande fogueira estava acesa (foto de capa) para onde as pessoas jogavam velas, mandavam beijos e balbuciavam suas rezas aos mortos. Enquanto isso, o padre dirigia pelo alto falante a oração do Pai Nosso, Ave Maria e uma penitência que não entendi muito bem. Existe uma grande adoração não apenas aos mortos, mas à morte e tudo que a envolve, de modo que é o momento mais importante e muito se é oferecido e gasto com os mortos, coisa que não se faz com os vivos. Como disse Jesus, que os mortos enterrem os próprios mortos (Mateus 8.22) e que os vivos adorem ao autor da vida, a quem a morte não pôde conter e ressuscitou (Atos 3.15). Neste mesmo dia 2, eu estive com 94 jovens vivos, que não dedicaram esse dia a adorar os mortos, mas se reuniram no acampamento da Juventude Nazareno Internacional para adorar e celebrar sua fé no Deus Vivo. Foram quatro dias de culto, devocional individual, reflexão em grupo e palestras sobre o "mundo moderno", "a identidade do cristão", sobre "finados" e sobre "redes sociais", sempre pensando no tema "Coragem para ser diferente". Eu estive uma tarde com eles e pude contribuir com a palestra sobre redes sociais. Assim como esses jovens, outros entenderam que devemos temer somente a Deus, que podemos honrar nossa família e nosso nome, sem fazer deles ídolos, como se pudessem nos conceder vida, cura, proteção ou qualquer coisa. Deus é Deus zeloso e não divide sua glória com ninguém (Isaías 42.8). Ainda em clima de Reforma: Soli Deo Gloria! #timor #finados #diadosmortos #timorleste #reforma #culto #cultoaosantepassados #cultoaosancestrais #cultoaosmortos #cemiterio #acampamento #nazareno #igrejadonazareno #mortos #vivo #solideogloria #reformaprotestante (em Timor-Leste) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cke5GG6vOmN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
