After Easter, we have celebrated 4 feasts;
(1) Ascension (2) Holy Spirit(3)holy Trinity and today (4) Corpus Christie. Why these 4 feast are commonly celebrated in all 3 cycles?,after Easter?
In conclusions, we will be analyzing in detail:
Today, we celebrate Most Holy Blood and Body of Jesus Christ. What is the relevance of this to our life. CATHOLIC BELIEVE REAL PRESENCE OF GOD IN HOLY EUCHRIST. Is it scientific? Can you believe?
B.Pre amble for todays readings:
B.1 Fr Peter,German Priest was doubting the conversion of bread & wine, into the Body & Blood of Christ at the moment of consecration in mass. While he was traveling,he stayed at Bolsena (Italy) was celebrating mass:
The HOST when he broke for communion,appeared be spattered with blood & bleed into the corporal,the small cloth upon which the Host & chalice rest during the cannon of mass.
After this,in1264,Pope Urban 4 institute the feast, Corpus Christi. You can see the blood stained corporal in the church of St Christina. After 700 years Pope Paul 6 celebrated this feast in the same alter.
Other Evidences:
In 1830,at Holy Mass, St Catherine Laboure PHYSICALLY SAW CHRIST at the HOST. You can see her in corrupt body in Paris.
B.2 why Jesus Body and Blood is needed for us?
Basic needs for us to live, we need EARTH,WATER,AIR,SUNLIGHT and FOOD. These 5 elements are needed for any living being(Human,Animal and trees). For human, other than food, all other elements are given FREE OF CHARGE. Only food you have to earn.
Food, normally you have to prepare, cook,taste and allow it to digest, so that food will be converted to energy, for you to work. Tying a loaf of meat into your arm will not transfer energy, but for that you have to cook,taste and eat,
Similarly, Holy Eucharist is given by God, for our spiritual nourishment. We have to search for HIM, be prepared to receive HIM, eat and Digest HIM. This resembles the normal phenomena of food.
B.3 What God has promised those who are believing HIM?
When you surrender your Will to God, He will ensure HAPPINESS in you life. How to Surrender?
2 methods
(1) Sin less(Without guilt). After Repentance +confessions with Priest(Jn 20:23), you are free of guilt, then you can be in grace, with Receiving Eucharist. This will lead a peaceful life for you. Then to lead a happy life, you have to have 3 steps (a) worriless mind, hand over your worries to Mary+saints(Jn2)(b) be healthy(drink water+do exercise)(c) be efficient(try to use latest technology)
(2) Sometimes with your happy mind, if God wanted to change your life. HE will change direction of your life, which lead you to suffer, causing you to develop patience. Don't lose the perseverance and hope with God, to see at last the Happiness. This is the way that God, Changes HIS WILL to your will.
B.3 After developing Happy mind, then what you should do?
Happiness is God's gift for you. In return what you should give to HIM? You should develop your God given talent to energy to serve Society for the love of God.
B.4 How to convert your talent to energy?
Every human in this world is born with atleast with one talent. Talent has to be converted to skills,by repeated practices. Then you gain knowledge on that subject. you will disseminate knowledge to society thru' Hard work. Finally you develop good attitude.
You CAN ALTER U'R LIFE BY ALTERING your ATTITUDES.
Assuming each letter in alphabet has a value equals to its sequence:A=1,B=2..Z=26etc. TALENT =72,SKILLS=82,KNOWLEDGE=96, HARD WORK=98,ATTITUDE=100.your attitude,
Your attitude will become thoughts; Your thoughts will become words, your word will become actions,Your actions,will become HABBIT. It will become your personality. Right attitude produce right actions.
When you know your talent is given by God, you develop all steps above for LOVE OF GOD=101; you will see Miracle, like the boy who gave 5 loaves and 2 fish, as shown in today's miracle.
Hence ATTITUDE with LOVE OF GOD will put you top,while hard work&knowledge will get You closer.
One talent can generate many more skills
CORRECT ATTITUDE OF PEOPLE IS VITAL,FOR A DEVELOPMENT OF ANY COUNTRY!.when you are lazy, then you always get angry, you cannot convert your Talent to skills. More you develop your skills,you get knowledge of that subject.(Avoid pride+Egotism). With the correct knowledge, work hard for the society, for LOVE OF GOD,for correct ATTITUDE to enjoy wisdom+generosity of U'r Life.
You can do wonders!
Wonder's means, normally, you cannot expect that output. God lead you to make wonders,(miracles) which in logical or scientific thinking you cannot expect that output.
Miracle: an action or event that is impossible according to ordinary laws of nature, believed to be done by God.
C. Today's reading:
Gen(14:18-20) says Blessed be God, who delivered your enemies into your hand.
Paul says (1 cor 11:23-26)"Jesus on night he was betrayed, took bread,broke it &said,'This is my body.'The same way he took cup &said,'This is my blood.Do it as often in remembrance of me.'For as often as you do this,you proclaim Lord's death until he comes.
LK(9:11B-17) - 5000 men/He looked up to heaven/blessed & broke 5 loaves&2 fish/gave them to the disciples/All ate &were filled/12 baskets were filled with what was left."
Reminds;
1)You are created with talent;
2)You must convert you talents to good attitudes,then to energy;
3)For that you should be in grace without effect of sin (after pardoning process) &receive Holy Eucharist(spiritual nourishment);
4)You should hand over all worries&fears to Holy Mary&Saints;
5)You should have a happy mind with gd health&efficient work;
6)Use your attitudes for the love of society;
7)Your life will lead with WONDERS!
E. Conclusion:
Catholic Concepts:
E.1 Concept and concept defining feature:
Concepts are thoughts or ideas that represent a set of related ideas.
Tail,Fur,Teeth,4 legs: what do these words describe?: it would be a cat,a dog or lion.. many,
sometimes a crucial detail is missing. Some piece of information, that clearly defines and separate it from others.
When we add 'Bark' it will define Dog.
Concept defining features
Bark is the Concept defining feature.
E.2 Difference between Christianity with other religions;
All religions in the world are GOOD. They all talk about (1) Love the society (2) avoid Sin(though definition of Sin's may vary from one religion to other)(3) there is a process to clear the effects of sin.
Catholics respect all relgions in the world
But this does not mean, that we should follow their religion!.
While appreciate, their efforts to society
We should identfy clearly concept defining features of Catholicism, to practice Catholic faith. Following gives you, such points,as reflected from last 4 feasts(including today)
A. From Risen Christ
(1) You have one life NO REBIRTH
(2) EFFECT OF YOUR SINS CAN BE ERASED
B. From Holy Spirit
(3) Castless Church started by Holy Spirit
to pass good news to whole world, that effect of your sins can be erased.
(4) Human way of living changes every Day,making more efficient in actions.
(5) Holy Spirit thru' pope's infallability, guide us, such paradigm changes, which involves in morals of human. Ex artificial birth control abortion,Euthanesia etc.
C. From Holy Trinity:
(6) Shows us the difference between, other God fearing religions to Christianity. 1 God with 3 person ex water/ you get liquid,vapor and ice.
(7) For the Pardoning Process, Father and Son shows us(thru' Israelis), 10 Commandments with Love and forgiving
Holy Spirit form the process of Pardoning REPENTANCE,CONFESSION and INDULGENCE
D. From church
(8) Christian faith is to train how to surrender your will to God'S will. For that you need spiritual Nourishments: Confession with priest(jn 20:23)+Eucharist(real pesence of God), for you to in grace with God
(9) When you are in grace God can change your Will, then you will undergo, SUFFERING,develop PATIENCE, while keeping PERSEVERNCE and HOPE with God.
(10) You Should develop a happy mind to love the Society. For that, first develop peaceful mind, then develop happy mind, by handing over your worries to Mary and saints, then with good health and carry out action efficiently, you develop a happy mind.
Further analysis:
Concepts are combined into propositions. Multiple propositions are combined into mental models. Set of propositions can be made into a model
Today feast show us on one side how to lead a happy life with Catholism, on the other side, once you are happy, your responsibility to convert you talents to energy and dissminte that energy for society, for the LOVE OF GOD, to become a wonderful Catholic!
