First Reading (Deuteronomy 30: 10–14)
A reading from the book of Deuteronomy.
Moses stated this to the people: "You shall turn to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and observe his commandments and norms, in a word, everything written in his book of the Law. These commandments that I give you today are neither too high nor too far for you. They are not in heaven that you should say: 'Who will go up to heaven to get these commandments, so that we may hear them and put them into practice?' Neither are they at the other side of the sea for you to say: 'Who will cross to the other side and bring them to us, so that we may hear them and put them into practice?' On the contrary, my word is very near you; it is already in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can put it into practice."
Second Reading (Colossians 1: 15–20)
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians.
He is the image of the unseen God, and for all creation he is the first-born, for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible: thrones, rulers, authorities, powers... All was made through him and for him. He is before all and all things hold together in him. And he is the head of the body, that is the Church, for he is the first, the first raised from the dead that he may be the first in everything, for God was pleased to let fullness dwell in him. Through him God willed to reconcile all things to himself, and through him, through his blood shed on the cross. God establishes peace, on earth as in heaven.
Gospel (Luke 10: 25–37)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Then a teacher of the Law came and began putting Jesus to the test. And he asked, "Master, what shall I do to obtain eternal life?" Jesus replied, "What is written in the Scripture? How do you understand it?" The man answered, "It is written: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus replied, "That is a good answer. If you do this, you shall live." The man wanted to keep appearances, so he replied, "But, who is my neighbor?" Jesus then stated this, "There was a man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. It happened that a priest was going along that road and saw the man, but passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite saw the man and passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, too, was going that way, and when he came upon the man, he was moved with compassion. He went over to him and treated his wounds with oil and wine and wrapped them with bandages. Then he put him on his own mount and brought him to an inn where he took care of him. The next day he had to set off, but he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and told him: 'Take care of him and whatever you spend on him, I will repay when I come back.'" Jesus then asked, "Which of these three, do you think, made himself neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The teacher of the Law answered, "The one who had mercy on him." And Jesus replied, "Go then, and do the same."

Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 69) (Verses 14, 17, 30-31, 33-34, and 36-37)
ReplyDeleteThe response is: Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.
I pray to you, O Lord, at a time most favorable to you. In your great love, O God, answer me with your unfailing help. In your mercy, O Lord, give me a good answer; in your great compassion, turn to me.
I myself am humbled and wounded; your salvation, O God, will lift me up. I will praise the name of God in song; I will glorify him with thanksgiving.
Let the lowly witness this and be glad. You who seek God, may your hearts be revived. For the lord hears the needy and does not despise those in captivity.
For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. His people shall dwell in the land and possess it; the children of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell in it.
Primera Lectura (Deuteronomio 30: 10-14)
DeleteUna lectura del libro de Deuteronomio.
Moisés dijo a la gente: “Tú habrás vuelto a Yahvé, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma, y guardarás sus mandamientos y sus normas, en una palabra, lo que está escrito en el libro de esta Ley. Este mandamiento que yo te doy no es superior a tus fuerzas ni está fuera de tu alcance. No está en el cielo, para que puedas decir: ‘¿Quién subirá al cielo y nos lo traerá, entonces escucharemos y lo pondremos en práctica?’ Tampoco está al otro lado del mar, para que tengas que decir: ‘¿Quién pasará hasta el otro lado y nos lo traerá, entonces escucharemos y lo pondremos en práctica?’ Todo lo contrario, mi palabra ha llegado bien cerca de ti; ya la tienes en la boca y la sabes de memoria, y sólo hace falta ponerla en práctica.”
Salmo responsivo (Salmo 69) (Versículos 14, 17, 30-31, 33-34 y 36-37)
La respuesta es: Vuélvete al Señor en tu necesidad, y vivirás.
• Mi oración sube hasta ti, Señor, en el momento favorable: respóndeme, Dios mío, por tu gran amor, sálvame, por tu fidelidad. Respóndeme, Señor, por tu bondad y tu amor, por tu gran compasión vuélvete a mí.
• Yo soy un pobre desdichado, Dios mío, que tu ayuda me proteja: así alabaré con cantos el nombre de Dios, y proclamaré su grandeza dando gracias.
• Que lo vean los humildes y se alegren, que vivan los que buscan a Dios: porque el Señor escucha a los pobres y no desprecia a sus cautivos.
• Porque Dios salvará a Sión y volverá a edificar las ciudades de Judá: el linaje de sus servidores la tendrá como herencia, y los que aman su nombre morarán en ella.
Segunda Lectura (Colosense 1: 15-20)
Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los colosenses.
Él es la Imagen del Dios invisible, el Primogénito de toda la creación, porque en él fueron creadas todas las cosas, tanto en el cielo como en la tierra los seres visibles y los invisibles, Tronos, Dominaciones, Principados y Potestades: todo fue creado por medio de él y para él. Él existe antes que todas las cosas y todo subsiste en él. Él es también la Cabeza del Cuerpo, es decir, de la Iglesia. Él es el Principio, el Primero que resucitó de entre los muertos, a fin de que él tuviera la primacía en todo, porque Dios quiso que en él residiera toda la Plenitud. Por él quiso reconciliar consigo todo lo que existe en la tierra y en el cielo, restableciendo la paz por la sangre de su cruz.
Evangelio (Lucas 10: 25-37)
Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según San Lucas.
Y entonces, un doctor de la Ley se levantó y le preguntó para ponerlo a prueba: “Maestro, ¿qué tengo que hacer para heredar la Vida eterna?” Jesús le preguntó a su vez: “¿Qué está escrito en la Ley? ¿Qué lees en ella?” Él le respondió: “Amarás al Señor, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con todas tus fuerzas y con todo tu espíritu, y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.” “Has respondido exactamente, le dijo Jesús; obra así y alcanzarás la vida.” Pero el doctor de la Ley, para justificar su intervención, le hizo esta pregunta: “¿Y quién es mi prójimo?” Jesús volvió a tomar la palabra y le respondió: “Un hombre bajaba de Jerusalén a Jericó y cayó en manos de unos ladrones, que lo despojaron de todo, lo hirieron y se fueron, dejándolo medio muerto. Casualmente bajaba por el mismo camino un sacerdote: lo vio y siguió de largo. También pasó por allí un levita: lo vio y siguió su camino. Pero un samaritano que viajaba por allí, al pasar junto a él, lo vio y se conmovió. Entonces se acercó y vendó sus heridas, cubriéndolas con aceite y vino; después lo puso sobre su propia montura, lo condujo a un albergue y se encargó de cuidarlo. Al día siguiente, sacó dos denarios y se los dio al dueño del albergue, diciéndole: “Cuídalo, y lo que gastes de más, te lo pagaré al volver.” ¿Cuál de los tres te parece que se portó como prójimo del hombre asaltado por los ladrones?” “El que tuvo compasión de él”, le respondió el doctor. Y Jesús le dijo: “Ve, y procede tú de la misma manera.”
Bacaan Pertama (Ulangan 30: 10-14)
DeletePembacaan dari kitab dari Ulangan.
Apabila engkau mendengarkan suara TUHAN, Allahmu, dengan berpegang pada perintah dan ketetapan-Nya, yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat ini dan apabila engkau berbalik kepada TUHAN, Allahmu, dengan segenap hatimu dan dengan segenap jiwamu." Sebab perintah ini, yang kusampaikan kepadamu pada hari ini, tidaklah terlalu sukar bagimu dan tidak pula terlalu jauh. Tidak di langit tempatnya, sehingga engkau berkata: Siapakah yang akan naik ke langit untuk mengambilnya bagi kita dan memperdengarkannya kepada kita, supaya kita melakukannya? Juga tidak di seberang laut tempatnya, sehingga engkau berkata: Siapakah yang akan menyeberang ke seberang laut untuk mengambilnya bagi kita dan memperdengarkannya kepada kita, supaya kita melakukannya? Tetapi firman ini sangat dekat kepadamu, yakni di dalam mulutmu dan di dalam hatimu, untuk dilakukan.
Mazmur (Mazmur 69) (Ayat 14, 17, 30-31, 33-34 dan 36-37)
DeleteTanggapan adalah: Berpalinglah kepada Tuhan jika ada diperlukan, dan anda akan hidup.
— Tetapi aku, aku berdoa kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, pada waktu Engkau berkenan, ya Allah; demi kasih setia-Mu yang besar jawablah aku dengan pertolongan-Mu yang setia! Jawablah aku, ya TUHAN, sebab kasih setia-Mu baik, berpalinglah kepadaku menurut rahmat-Mu yang besar!
— Tetapi aku ini tertindas dan kesakitan, keselamatan dari pada-Mu, ya Allah, kiranya melindungi aku! Aku akan memuji-muji nama Allah dengan nyanyian, mengagungkan Dia dengan nyanyian syukur.
— Lihatlah, hai orang-orang yang rendah hati, dan bersukacitalah; kamu yang mencari Allah, biarlah hatimu hidup kembali! Sebab TUHAN mendengarkan orang-orang miskin, dan tidak memandang hina orang-orang-Nya dalam tahanan.
— Sebab Allah akan menyelamatkan Sion dan membangun kota-kota Yehuda, supaya orang-orang diam di sana dan memilikinya; anak cucu hamba-hamba-Nya akan mewarisinya, dan orang-orang yang mencintai nama-Nya akan diam di situ.
Bacaan Kedua (Kolose 1: 15-20)
DeletePembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Kolose.
Ia adalah gambar Allah yang tidak kelihatan, yang sulung, lebih utama dari segala yang diciptakan, karena di dalam Dialah telah diciptakan segala sesuatu, yang ada di sorga dan yang ada di bumi, yang kelihatan dan yang tidak kelihatan, baik singgasana, maupun kerajaan, baik pemerintah, maupun penguasa; segala sesuatu diciptakan oleh Dia dan untuk Dia. Ia ada terlebih dahulu dari segala sesuatu dan segala sesuatu ada di dalam Dia. Ialah kepala tubuh, yaitu jemaat. Ialah yang sulung, yang pertama bangkit dari antara orang mati, sehingga Ia yang lebih utama dalam segala sesuatu. Karena seluruh kepenuhan Allah berkenan diam di dalam Dia, dan oleh Dialah Ia memperdamaikan segala sesuatu dengan diri-Nya, baik yang ada di bumi, maupun yang ada di sorga, sesudah Ia mengadakan pendamaian oleh darah salib Kristus.
Bacaan Injil (Lukas 10: 25-37)
DeletePembacaan dari injil kudus menurut Lukas.
Pada suatu kali berdirilah seorang ahli Taurat untuk mencobai Yesus, katanya: "Guru, apa yang harus kuperbuat untuk memperoleh hidup yang kekal?" Jawab Yesus kepadanya: "Apa yang tertulis dalam hukum Taurat? Apa yang kaubaca di sana?" Jawab orang itu: "Kasihilah Tuhan, Allahmu, dengan segenap hatimu dan dengan segenap jiwamu dan dengan segenap kekuatanmu dan dengan segenap akal budimu, dan kasihilah sesamamu manusia seperti dirimu sendiri." Kata Yesus kepadanya: "Jawabmu itu benar; perbuatlah demikian, maka engkau akan hidup." Tetapi untuk membenarkan dirinya orang itu berkata kepada Yesus: "Dan siapakah sesamaku manusia?" Jawab Yesus: "Adalah seorang yang turun dari Yerusalem ke Yerikho; ia jatuh ke tangan penyamun-penyamun yang bukan saja merampoknya habis-habisan, tetapi yang juga memukulnya dan yang sesudah itu pergi meninggalkannya setengah mati. Kebetulan ada seorang imam turun melalui jalan itu; ia melihat orang itu, tetapi ia melewatinya dari seberang jalan. Demikian juga seorang Lewi datang ke tempat itu; ketika ia melihat orang itu, ia melewatinya dari seberang jalan. Lalu datang seorang Samaria, yang sedang dalam perjalanan, ke tempat itu; dan ketika ia melihat orang itu, tergeraklah hatinya oleh belas kasihan. Ia pergi kepadanya lalu membalut luka-lukanya, sesudah ia menyiraminya dengan minyak dan anggur. Kemudian ia menaikkan orang itu ke atas keledai tunggangannya sendiri lalu membawanya ke tempat penginapan dan merawatnya. Keesokan harinya ia menyerahkan dua dinar kepada pemilik penginapan itu, katanya: Rawatlah dia dan jika kaubelanjakan lebih dari ini, aku akan menggantinya, waktu aku kembali. Siapakah di antara ketiga orang ini, menurut pendapatmu, adalah sesama manusia dari orang yang jatuh ke tangan penyamun itu?" Jawab orang itu: "Orang yang telah menunjukkan belas kasihan kepadanya." Kata Yesus kepadanya: "Pergilah, dan perbuatlah demikian!"
Deuteronomio 30: 10-14
DeleteNgunit kailangang makinig kayo sa kanya at buong puso't kaluluwang sumunod sa kanyang mga utos. "Ang kautusang ibinibigay ko sa inyo ngayon ay hindi naman napakahirap sundin at unawain. Wala ito sa langit, kaya hindi na ninyo dapat itanong, 'Sino ang aakyat sa langit para sa atin upang kunin ang kautusan upang marinig natin ito at maisagawa?' Wala rin ito sa ibayong-dagat kaya hindi ninyo dapat itanong, 'Sino ang tatawid sa dagat para sa atin upang kunin ang kautusan upang marinig natin ito at maisagawa?' Napakalapit ng kautusan sa inyo, nasa inyong mga labi at nasa inyong mga puso. Kailangan lang ninyo itong tuparin.
Ang Sulat ni Pablo sa Mga Taga-Colosas 1: 15-20
Si Cristo ang larawan ng Diyos na di-nakikita. Siya ang panganay na anak at pangunahin sa lahat ng mga nilikha. Sapagkat sa pamamagitan niya ay nilikha ang lahat ng nasa langit at nasa lupa, nakikita man o hindi, pati ang mga espirituwal na kapangyarihan, paghahari, pamamahala, at pamumuno. Ang lahat ay nilikha ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya at para sa kanya. Siya ang una sa lahat, at ang buong sansinukob ay nananatiling nasa kaayusan sa pamamagitan niya. Siya ang ulo ng iglesya na kanyang katawan. Siya ang pasimula, siya ang panganay na anak, ang unang binuhay mula sa mga patay, upang siya'y maging pangunahin sa lahat. Sapagkat minarapat ng Diyos na ang buo niyang kalikasan ay manatili sa Anak, at sa pamamagitan ng Anak, niloob ng Diyos na ang lahat ng bagay, maging sa langit o sa lupa, ay makipagkasundo sa kanya; pakikipagkasundo sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalay ng Anak ng kanyang dugo sa krus.
Ang Magandang Balita ayon kay Lucas 10: 25-37
Isang dalubhasa sa kautusang Judio ang lumapit kay Jesus upang siya'y subukin. "Guro, ano ang dapat kong gawin upang magkaroon ako ng buhay na walang hanggan?" tanong niya. Sumagot si Jesus, "Ano ba ang nakasulat sa Kautusan? Ano ba ang nababasa mo roon?" Sumagot ang lalaki, "'Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso, buong kaluluwa, buong lakas, at buong pag-iisip;' at 'Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa gaya ng pag-ibig mo sa iyong sarili.'" Sabi ni Jesus, "Tama ang sagot mo. Gawin mo iyan at magkakamit ka ng buhay na walang hanggan." pang huwag siyang lumabas na kahiya-hiya, nagtanong pa ang lalaki, "Sino naman ang aking kapwa?" Sumagot si Jesus, "May isang taong naglalakbay mula sa Jerusalem papuntang Jerico. Hinarang siya ng mga tulisan, kinuha pati ang damit sa kanyang katawan, binugbog, at iniwang halos patay na. Nagkataong dumaan doon ang isang paring Judio. Nang makita ang taong nakahandusay, lumihis siya at nagpatuloy sa kanyang paglakad. Dumaan din ang isang Levita, ngunit nang makita niya ang taong binugbog, lumihis din ito at nagpatuloy sa kanyang paglakad. Ngunit may isang Samaritanong naglalakbay na napadaan doon. Nakita niya ang biktima at siya'y naawa. Nilapitan niya ito, binuhusan ng langis at alak ang mga sugat at binendahan. Pagkatapos, ang lalaki ay isinakay ng Samaritano sa kanyang asno at dinala ito sa bahay-panuluyan upang maalagaan doon. Kinabukasan, binigyan niya ng dalawang salaping pilak ang may-ari ng bahay-panuluyan, at sinabi, 'Heto, alagaan mo siya, at kung higit pa riyan ang iyong magagastos, babayaran ko sa aking pagbalik.'" At nagtanong si Jesus, "Sa palagay mo, sino kaya sa tatlo ang naging tunay na kapwa ng taong hinarang ng mga tulisan?" "Ang taong tumulong sa kanya," tugon ng abogado. Kaya't sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, "Sige ganoon din ang iyong gawin."
Hey Sean! I just went to church in St. Theresia today, and I have heard Father Anton's homily. It was incredibly interesting and delirious! What do you think? In addition, could you please show me the readings for next week? Thank you! Please reply!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Ufretin! I did not know you live in Indonesia. But yes, I truly think Father Anton is awesome on his homily. Everyone was laughing at the take where many Catholics committed crimes. Now that you asked for the readings for next week, for the 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time, the readings are shown below:
ReplyDeleteFor the First Reading, you will read the book of Genesis, chapter 18, verses 1-10a.
For the Second Reading, you will read the letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians, chapter 1, verses 24-28.
For the Gospel, it is according to Luke, chapter 10, verses 38-42.
I hope this helps!
Hey guys! I can tell that the homily of Father Anton is quite interesting and hilarious. I laughed at the comment that Sean wrote about the Catholics committing so much crimes. For your information, the Gospel is teaching us to be more compassionate towards others. Do not think about yourselves, but think for other people as well. So when you see somebody in despair, devote your life to assist these people and waste your time.
ReplyDeleteSean, so demystify the readings for me. I would like to ask, what should I do to acquire eternal life?
ReplyDeleteGreetings Paulus. The Gospel is teaching us to be more compassionate towards others. Do not think about yourselves, but think for other people as well. So when you see somebody in despair, devote yourlife to assist these people and waste your name. I have a chart that measures the right responsibility. There are six levels, and the highest level you should reach is level six. The chart below are as follows:
ReplyDeleteLevel 1: I do not want to get into trouble.
Level 2: I want a reward.
Level 3: I want to please somebody.
Level 4: I follow the rules.
Level 5: I am considerate of other people.
Level 6: I have a personal code of behavior and I follow it.
In the Gospel reading, the priest and the Levite are thinking about themselves, and avoiding events that causes harm to themselves. Therefore, that is Level 1 in the scale above. The Samaritan, however, shows deep care and compassion towards the victim. Therefore, that is Level 5 in the scale above. Try to reach Level 6 for your responsibilities. In addition, if you want to acquire eternal life, you must follow the commandments.
ReplyDeleteI hope this helps!
But Sean, what are the commandments? Please reply.
ReplyDeleteLet's bring back your memory. Here are the ten commandments.
ReplyDeleteCommandment 1: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of slavery. Do not have other gods before me. Do not have idols, do not make any figure of things in the heaven or here below on the earth, or in the waters under the earth. Do not kneel before them or worship them, because I, the Lord, am your God, a jealous God who punishes the children until the third and fourth generation for the wickedness of their parents who hate me. But I am merciful to the thousandth generation to those who love me and obey my commandments.
Commandment 2: Do not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain because the Lord will not leave a person unpunished who takes his name in vain.
Commandment 3: Take care to keep holy the sabbath day, as the Lord, your God, commands you. You have six days to work and do your assignments. But the seventh day is the Day of Rest in honor of the Lord, your God. Do not do any work, you or your child, or your servant, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your animals. Neither will the foreigner who lives in your land work. Your servant will rest just like you. Remember that you were once enslaved in the land Egypt from where the Lord, your God, brought you out with his powerful hand and outstretched arm. For that reason, the Lord, your God, commands you to observe the sabbath.
Commandment 4: Honor your father and your mother as the Lord, your God, has commanded, and you will live long and it will be well with you in the land which, the Lord, your God, gives you.
Commandment 5: Do not kill.
Commandment 6: Do not commit adultery.
Commandment 7: Do not steal.
Commandment 8: Do not give false witness against your neighbor.
Commandment 9: Do not covet your neighbor's wife.
Commandment 10: Do not covet the house of your neighbor, or his field, or his servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is in his possession.
In addition, the scriptures above add to your mission, Paulus. I hope this helps!
I listened to Lift Up Your Hands. The music was so emotional and peaceful. Bless the Lord, for we want to see your face.
ReplyDeleteTotally hilarious and interesting when Father Anton states that so many Catholics are committing such crimes.
ReplyDeleteWell, I amen to what Solmyr said. I absolutely concur!
ReplyDeleteNow why did Jesus mentioned that a priest ignored a victim? That is awkward; that is not the right action to do as a priest.
ReplyDeleteGurvilin, you are cracking me up! Why did Jesus mentioned a priest in his parables? Priests should also be compassionate as well. Why?!
ReplyDeleteGurvilin! Dude, you just earned $1,000,000 for asking that question! Jackpot bonus! I am so laughing like crazy! We should ask Sean about that!
ReplyDeleteHey Gurvilin! Nice! You really comprehended the text well and inferred very good. So hysterical that the priest ignores a wounded victim. Indeed, you have won $1,000,000 already! Let's ask Sean for his commentary. Sean, what do you think?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Gurvilin had truly won $1,000,000 already. To be honest, I really do not know the reason why Jesus had inserted a priest in his parables. However, I believe that Jesus is just throwing an example of a disqualified priest.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Gurvilin, you have just won a million dollars. You have been granted ten wishes. What are your wishes?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I have been living in Axeoth for too long. I have watched on television the best teenage Disney stars. My dreams are to travel to the United States and have a scavenger hunt to find these popular teen stars. That is my wish.
ReplyDeleteWho are those celebrities? Could you please mention them, Gurvilin? I want to see their faces.
ReplyDeleteYes, Gurvilin! I also desire to understand these celebrities and see their faces?
ReplyDeleteI ditto what Bohb said. Tell us!
ReplyDeleteI am same with Solmyr. I am interested too about celebrities, especially Disney celebrities. Tell us their names and show pictures of them!
ReplyDeleteOkay. I want to travel to United States and see if I can meet David Henrie, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Stone, Jake T. Austin, Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse, Brenda Song, Ashley Tisdale, Debby Ryan, the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso, Jason Earles, and Moises Arias. Those are the people I desire to meet in United States.
ReplyDeleteWait. But who is Jake T. Austin? And who is Debby Ryan? And who is Moises Arias? Please demystify.
ReplyDeleteUfretin, do you not know who Jake T. Austin is? And who Debby Ryan is? And who Moises Arias is? Jake T. Austin is Max Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place and is also the voice actor of Diego in Go Diego Go, because he can speak Spanish. Debby Ryan is Bailey Pickett in the Suite Life on Deck. She has a boyfriend, Cody, who is Cole Sprouse. Moises Arias is Rico, a beverage worker on a beach with Jackson; Jason Earles.
ReplyDeleteWow, Paulus! You know your stars already! I give you $500,000 (half a million) for remembering that whole information. Sorry to be biased, people.
ReplyDeleteThat is okay, Gurvilin. I do not need a million dollars just to make me happy. I have the money I need just to make me satisfied.
ReplyDeleteI ditto what Solmyr said. In fact, I earn a lot of money just by documenting artifacts and their powers. It is really a simple job, it is not too sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteI am just making a guess, but I believe that David Henrie, Jake T. Austin, and Selena Gomez are from Wizards of Waverly Place, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Debby Ryan, and Brenda Song are from the Suite Life on Deck, and Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso, Jason Earles, and Moises Arias are from Hannah Montana.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention that Jennifer Stone, Maria Canals Barrera, and David Deluise are in Wizards of Waverly Place; Phill Lewis in the Suite Life on Deck; Billy Ray Cyrus in Hannah Montana.
ReplyDeleteActually, those names you listed are adults, not teenagers (except Jennifer Stone), so they are not much of interest to me. No offense to them! I apologize for that!
ReplyDeleteThat wish will soon be granted. Sometime, I don't know... But I am sure that your dreams will do come true. It is probable. What are your next wishes?
ReplyDeleteI would like to enter the Paws Incorporated and meet Jim Davis, creator of Garfield and friends.
ReplyDeleteReally? You like Garfield? Who is your favorite character?
ReplyDeleteYou know, when you asked that question, Paulus, I like Garfield, Jon, Odie, Nermal, and Doc Boy.
ReplyDeleteReally? Ufretin, why do you like Doc Boy?
ReplyDeleteI like the way when Jon calls Doc Boy, "Hey, Doc Boy!" Doc Boy replies, "Do not call me Doc Boy!" It is constantly delirious! In addition, Garfield is irritated by that constant reply.
ReplyDeleteI like Nermal because he always teases Garfield about his fame, and Garfield hates it, which constantly makes him send Nermal to Abu Dhabi, all that way to United Arab Emirates! Now did Nermal travel back to the United States?
ReplyDeleteOf course! Nermal returns to the United States to annoy Garfield, still happy as ever. Spending time, irritating Garfield. The question is, how did Nermal get back all the way there?
ReplyDeleteWe have a new winner! Jackpot bonus! Paulus wins $1,000,000!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reward. But I would like to give the money away as charity towards the UNICEF organization. (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund)
ReplyDeleteHow about UNESCO? (United Nations Educational Scientific Cultural Organization) Is that right? I think I may need to work on my acronyms.
ReplyDeleteNo, I believe that is correct, Ufretin. You do not need to work on your acronyms. You may, if you want to.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Paulus, since you have won $1,000,000, you also have acquired ten wishes. What are your wishes?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure. I will think of it next time, next week. Thanks guys! That is a rap! We are finished chatting for the night. Now if you want, we can do this sometime.
ReplyDeleteWe concur! Let's continue chatting about Garfield and friends and other celebrities later.
ReplyDeleteWe shall resume! It is truly nice to post comments on Sean's blog.
ReplyDeleteAmen to what you say, Paulus! Amen!
ReplyDeleteYay! I am the 50th comment! Yes, I truly ditto what Paulus had stated before in the comment above.
ReplyDelete
