David starts his homily by sharing how his dad expected his children to share stories during his childhood. #HolyWeek

David: Maaga rin naming natutunan, para matuto magkuwento, kailangan matuto ring magbasa ng kuwento, o makinig, o ma-appreciate ng magandang kuwento ng ibang tao. #HolyWeek

David: Dumami at lumawak ng husto ang mga paraan ng pagkukuwento.... Ngayon, kahit bata, puwede magkuwento at i-post ng video sa Facebook. #HolyWeek

David: Mahilig tayo sa mga salaysay pero hindi lahat ng salaysay at may saysay. Kung magsalaysay tayo, sana kung may saysay. Kaya natin kilatisin ang kasingualingan... at mga ulat na naliligaw o nalilihis ng landas #HolyWeek

David says that story-telling is important for people to unlock the meaning of various events. #HolyWeek

David: Sana nagkukuwentuhan pa rin kayo sa bahay kasi masaklap na hinayaan nating mapalitan ang ating kuwentuhan sa panonood ng TV, o sa pagharap sa cellphone. #HolyWeek

David: Ang kuwentuhan ay nakapagbubuo ng relasyon, napakaimportante. #HolyWeek

David: To be able to tell our stories properly with a happy ending, kailangan maging bahagi ang kuwento ng buhay natin sa kuwento ng buhay ni Kristo. After all... tayo'y isinisilang na muli para maging bahagi ng buhay at misyon ni Kristo. #HolyWeek

David ends his homily by greeting a happy Easter to those attending the Vigil. #HolyWeek
