[Music] it is [Music] a reading from the first letter of saint paul to the corinthians brothers and sisters jews demand signs and greeks look for wisdom but we proclaim christ crucified a stumbling block of jews and foolishness to gentiles but those who are called jews and greeks alive christ the power of god and the wisdom of god for the foolishness of god is wiser than human wisdom and the weakness of god is stronger than human strength your old calling brothers and sisters not many of you were wise by human standards not many were powerful not many were of noble birth rather god chose the foolish of the world to shame the and god chose the weak of the world to shame the strong and god chose the lowly and the spies of the world so those who count for nothing to reduce to nothing those who are something so that no human being might boast before god it is due to him that you are in christ jesus who became for us wisdom from god as well as righteousness sanctification and redemption so that as it is written whoever both should boast in the lord the word of the lord thanks be to god [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] i consider all so much [Music] that i may gain christ and be found in him in him [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the lord with you and with your spirit a proclamation from the holy gospel according to saint john glory to you o lord john was in bethany with two of his disciples and as he watched jesus walk by he said behold the lamb of god the two disciples of john heard what he said and followed jesus jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them what are you looking for they said to him rabbi which translated means teacher where are you saying he said to them come and you will see so they went and so where he was staying and they stayed with him that day it was about four in the afternoon andrew the brother of simon peter was one of you the two who heard john and follow jesus he first found his own brother simon and told him we have found the messiah which is translated christ then he brought him to jesus jesus looked at him and said you are simon the son of john you will be called cephas which is translated peter this is a brother is the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ peace all be seated for the homie when brother barry requested me if i could give the homily on his 25th anniversary mass a faint surprise father but brother barry just looked at me and with his patented impish be dimpled smile as if daring me to go ahead bring it on of course how could i not give a to his request we have been butts mates since first-year colleagues in 1990 i just got waited from the high school seminary when he completed his pre-college year from then on we were together during the novashade in san fernando pampanga and at the loyola school of theology in ateneo de manila university though he finished only the two-year theological studies after he decided to become a brother in fact we got a flat one in the class of other arrival of christology may record on but brother barry's vocation story actually started as a stroke of block he is one of the three wounded buhi boys the buhi trio together with jolex and sixth and that is actually this number because sixth is actually standing five flat or more or less four eleven so as jolex recounted that fortuitous day i quote palace nakame on naga city to take the entrance exam and to be interviewed by father remy the former vocation director then out of nowhere and the rest is history and jolex further spilled the beans school and second don't you know that he is a relative of victor wood young sumi katna singer no 1980s brother barry [Music] in the seminary among many others brother barry goes by the monikers bari the kid and mr jenny jr the kid is after the karate kid fame according to his baptizer rafi abbad junior my former high school classmate and her sheep captain ginny because he can grant your wish to the best of his abilities serbian but many times is too accommodating to a fall indeed as in our gospel reading today brother bari responded to jesus's invitation to come and see and after knowing christ intimately he offered himself perpetually to god as a poland brother disciple keeping the vows of poverty chastity obedience and fidelity to the roman pontiff for life choosing the brotherhood does not make him a lesser religious for the information of the unfamiliar in the religious life or the society of saint paul in particular both the priests and brothers stand in equal footing the perpetual profession is the highest stage of formation no one is superior over the other but each one is up to the task in fact in addition to his apostolic assignment as bookstore manager of saint paul's sm ecoland davao city he is also the current national treasurer of the federation of religious brothers in the philippines as it were brother bari humbly admits that he is sustained by god's grace and mercy just like in the second reading he is not wise by human standards nor powerful nor of noble birth but considers his calling as an unmerited gift of which he can boast in the lord oh and lest i forget among the three boys who entered st paul's seminary in 1989 own brother barry persevered he who was the salin pusa the late camera natila yata and autu salamang the most diminutive the least was courageous enough to respond to jesus's call to come and see has remained a faithful religious for the last 25 years and counting as brother barry celebrates his 25th anniversary profession he joins the psalmist in singing allah victor wood lord it is good to give you thanks for truly everything is grace except sin so congratulations brother barry my bus mate do remain a kid
