Reflection for 25th june 2017, celebrating 12th Sunday mass of ordinary season,of cycle 1.
This sunday church invite us to develop our spiritual immunity. What is immunity? It is the ability to keep yourself from being affected by a disease. You may be a priest or a baptized catholic, very active with church, but if you don't develop spiritual immunity, can you enjoy your life, as guaranteed by God, in creating you!

Jesus said in Mt(10:29-31)" Not one sparrow falls to the ground without your father knowing......so there is no need to be afraid: you are worthy more than many sparrows."

God has given a guarantee, that you should not be afraid about life, if you follow what HE asked you to do?. In other words how to develop spiritual immunity?

To improve your physical immunity system, you should do adequate exercises and drink water: without dong these things, though you are church gong, there is no guarantee from God for your health. Why? For your laziness you tend to carry out actions for your own convenience. You take God's word for your own excusetics(not to do a thing for your own excuse). Laziness is one of 7 vices.
This is a life time, habit you should develop your immune system, and live happily. When you do your part God will look after the rest to make you happy, since there are many unknown things can happen, even when you do excises and drinking water!.

Similarly how to develop spiritual immunity. You can remember God, Mostly when you are unsatisfied and when you are in trouble. It is like you don't do exercise or drink water at regular intervals in your life. Like when you become real thirsty, you drink water.

How to remember God in all of your actions?

1st you have to believe, and it has to go to your belief system, what God does do for you, to live?

You know, that without air you cannot live. Air consist of mainly 80% nitogen+20% oxygen
Nitrogen is like your will and oxygen is like God's Will. Air will go into your body thru' nose. Though Air is smell-les, you smell from nose, then nose will filter any dust in Air, then it will condition air to suit to your body(temperature balancing). Nose is similar Holy mary. This conditioned air will go to your lungs. Lungs will filter oxygen and send to your blood. Oxyganate blood. This is how your body is activated thru' the circulation of blood.
Why God wants us to make blood? Can you get artificial blood made? Is science successful in making artificial blood? No.

You are suppose to earn your living, buy food, process it, make a dish, eat, then allow it to digest, to make your own blood. When you refuse to make blood, God will not help you to produce artificial blood. Similar making your blood, for your own survival, you have to produce spiritual blood, to please God. That is to follow HIS commandments, specially 10 commandments+ avoid 7 vices: at large you have to follow 7 ethics. God in HIS ownm wisdom shows by giving HIS own blood and Body thru' Eucharist to taste and digest
HIS happiness to us.


When you believe this process, you know God is active in your Body. Then you will resist any contrary thing to do, beyond God's commandments+ 7 vices, at large 7 ethics.
You can believe this, or you can doubt about this. When you doubt, your belief system will tune either to science or astrology. You know neither science nor astrology does not provide you with 100% solutions to your life problems. At one stage, your belief system will start blinking, so that you might start with God's concept. As catholic, when you
abides by the teaching of the Trinity, lives up rightly in the teaching, walks in the way of teaching, it is by him that the God is worshiped. Otherwise, you will see that all forms of existence are unsatisfactory and subject to suffering.


Todays readings:
Prophet jeramia says(Jr 20:10-13)" HE has delivered souls of the needy from the hands of evil men."

Pauls to the Romans says(RM 5:12-15)"The gift considerably out weight the fall"

Mt(10:26-33) says" if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of men, I will declare myself for him"

Death and imprisonment for christ are realities for many Christians. But we who live in more tolerant societies can be frightened by the erosion of faith and the de-christianising of values. To be a genuine Christian means standing apart at times. Christ calls us to take a stand, to be for him or else against. To live christian ideal in marriege and in business require courage. Jesus says to all"BE NOT AFRAID" and I'm the end he will stand up for those who are faithful.

When you think that you are with God, naturally you start thinking, your view is correct as against others!. This is most common disease, any strong catholic might have. Without your knowledge you develop Ego. Specially, strong catholics with money and power, where all your surrounding environment start saying yes to you. You start thinking you are infallible

Holy spirit has gven nfallibilty only to pope.
It does not mean that Pope has the power to change what God has already revealed or decreed(Divine law & natural moral law). Instead,catholics believe that the HOLY SPIRIT protects the pope & the church from teaching error in matters of faith& morals.

Unlike divine inspiration, which is limited to the sacred authors of the Bible,this infallibility does not involve God influencing the words used by the pope. The gospel writers(Matthew,Mark, Luke& John),for instance,were divinely inspired,which means that every word they wrote is Sacred Scripture is considered to have revealed by God.
Infallibility is different from divine inspiration in that infallibility does not mean that each word and sentence the Pope writes is guided by the Holy Spirit(which would be inspiration). Instead,it means that God would intervene if a Pope attempted to solemnly teach a moral or doctrinal error to the universal church. We don't know how or what kind of divine intervention would take place- just that pope would somehow be prevented from teaching a moral or doctrinal heresy (false teaching)
So catholics believe that the pope and the bishops doesn't possess absolute authority because they can't change what has already been divinely inspired and revealed, nor can any pope or Bishop change any precept of divine law or natural moral law. Yet, Catholicism teaches that the church was commissioned by God to authentically interpret, define,defend,and explain what is contained in revelation to prevent confusion. And ambiguity through the teaching authority of the Pope and Bishops.

OFFICALLY DEFINED DOCTRINES ON FAITH AND MORALS CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE CHANGED-BUT THEY CAN,HAVE,AND WILL BE EXPLAINED IN DFFERENT TERMNOLOGY, CONTEXT AND PERSPECTIVE.SUBSTANTIALLY, THE NATURAL MORAL LAW AND DEFINED DOCTRINES ARE UNCHANGABLE. HOW THEY ARE DESCRIBED AND APPLIED IN PARTICULAR INSTANCES CAN BE MODIFED TO SUIT THE SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE TIME AND ERA.

So we have to be clear, and be cautious about our own ego, which will ruin our own life though we have devoted our life or time to God. Jesus came asking 'what can I do for you?'. In today's situation, every body is having telephones. How many of us are rejecting telephone calls?. Through telephone you can assist people, to follow love thy neighbor. When you start refusing telephone, you are depriving people to approach you. In other words you are rejecting Jesus!.

In conclusions: today church remind us the God's guaranteed happiness individual to you. For that
(1) you should not forget God n all of your actons
(2) follow 7 ethics
(3)reveAl about HIM, most easy method is thru' telephones
(4) always respond to your telephone calls, think that Jesus is asking your help
(5) always be careful about you Ego
(6) you can be a priest, whose duty is to administer 7 sacraments, but don't assume God's power in all of your other actions
(7)use the latest technology to reveal God

Thank you

Reflection for 18th june 2017, celebrating 11th Sunday mass of ordinary season,of cycle 1. Today church celebrate the feast of corpus Christie, and invite us to reflect (1) why Jesus institute Eucharist (2) is there any real presence of God, in Eucharist? What are the evidences available upto now (3) is Eucharist essential like food, for you to live?

Last sunnday, we celebrated feast of Trinity and mainly reflected as:
 (1) how Christianity differs from other God fearing religions such as Judaism and Islamic (2) why God introduce such complication to understand HIM (3) how God maintain his creation? What is air, why God has created nose?. Why oxygen is needed for you to live?.

This sunday church invite us to analyze, the tangible ritual given by God for us to live.
It is Eucharist- The heart & soul of christian faith!. Catholic teaching reaffirms the real presence of Jesus Christ in the holy Eucharist. Church & the Eucharist are intimately united & can never be divided. Catholics believe, the consecrated wafer of bread & wine miraculously transformed into the real body & Blood of Christ at the mass, when priest speaks the words of Christ"This is my body/this is my blood".
When we analyze,From material point of view,Jesus left His people with more than memories!.Only possession He had at His death was His robe,which ended up being bartered for by Roman soldiers. Yet HE gave His people something tangible to remember Him He gave us a beautiful parting memory that we could touch, taste,feel & digest in to our body!.

If you an athletic, you need to eat nourishing food to get energy to your body. Say meat will provide you energy & if you tie a loaf of meat  to your thigh!to run, Will you get energy to run? No. You have to prepare meat, enjoy eating, will digest your meat to convert energy into your body!. Similarly Holy Eucharist, you have to digest to receive the spiritual energy!

Hence Eucharist become precious nourishment for your faith,as well as a bonding ritual among members of the church!

 last letter of St John Paul2

St JP2 wrote His last en cyclical in 2003(Ecclesia de Eucharistia) on Eucharist & it's relation to the church!, which consists of 6 parts!.

EUCRASTIC
(1) as mystery of faith- how the consecrated bread & wine can become & remain the body & blood,soul & divernity of Christ
(2) the foundation of church
(3)As apostelic(being historical connected what the 12 apostles themselves did)
(4)Requirement to receive communion
(5)Proper dignity,respect & reverence demanded as holy celebrations(frequent visit to Blessed Sacrament,Holy hours of Adoration,Exposition & benediction, Corpus Christi procession, Perpetual Adoration chapels,masses celebrated with reverence and decorum proper to the sacred mysteries to be celebrated)
(6)The role of Virgin Mary



How far this is true in this scientific world?

The real presence of God in Eucharist, is been witness, in many occasions. Fo example

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 travelling,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.

Another Evidence

In 1830,at Holy Mass, St Catherine Laboure PHYSICALLY SAW CHRIST at the HOST. You can see her in corrupt body in Paris.

Another evidence:
 We celebrated St anthony's feast on last week the 13th. St anthony showed the following

  Bonvillo(Tolouse/france)didn't believe presence of God in Eucharist. He allowed his mule,in market place starving for3 days. Anthony &Bonvilo brought Eucharist &oats respectively. Mule turned from food & kept his head on the ground in an posture of Adoration &did not rise until Anthony retired!.

There are many more incidents you can get!



C. Today's reading
Deuteronomy(Dt 8:2-3,14-16 says" HE fed you With manna which neither you  nor your fathers has known,
Paul says to corinthians (1 cor 10:16-17) sys that there is only one loaf means, that there are many of us, we form a single body.
(Jn6:51)says"My flesh is real food & my blood is real drink"

Physical relavance of Eucharist to our life!

around us is a mixture of many gases & dust particles. Air is clear gas in which living things live &breathe.It has an indefinite shape &volume,with no colour or smell.Air is a mixture of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen(O2), 0.9% Argon,0.04% Carbon Dioxide (C02) &very small amounts of other gases. When we inhale air,nose will sense smell,convert to suit for our body temperature,filter dust & send to lungs. Lungs main function is to provide O2 to blood,from inhaled air & exhale C02. Without our knowledge God make us 1) Inhale & exhale;2)Extract O2 to give us energy,through blood which circulate to whole body to make you live;3)Send CO2 poisonous gas out of your body. Similarly God ask U to follow HIS teaching given by Trinity &exhale(remove your sin) for Ur own happiness/joy. God is similar to O2,but air consist of Nitrogen too. Remove CO2 spiritually from Ur body,by avoiding sins

Catholic belief!
Now we know, without our knowledge, air is being purified by God. First, air is conditioned by nose(like holy mary to our lfe), then lungs will oxigernate our blood. This is the God's invisible action for us. God expect us to make our blood. By eating,tasting, allowing it to digest, withut our knowledge, we make our own blood inside our body. God bless our blood, thru' hs own body and blood!. When you digest holy Eucharist, this will happen!.

So God has given us good parting ritual when jesus left. I.e holy Eucharist.


Ritual among horses

Horses respond more to someone who breathes slowly and deeply into their nostrils!so that they can capture the essence of that persons smell. This is how horses greet and bond with each other. This is a ritual.
Jesus understood the need for people to have a tangible things to remember Him by. It was His ultimate gift to His staff- bread & wine representing tears and all the laughter!

To conclude: we can summarize all abut Eucharist as follows

(1)You cannot make air neither human blood artificially
(2)God make air,HIS will oxygen+your will nitrogen/you make your own blood by eating,tasting, digesting food
(3)without your knowledge, God oxyginate Ur blood, with your nose+lung(inhale) &send out(exhale) all poisonous stuff in your body-HE keep the promise of your creation!
(4)for a bulb to light,current is invisible
(5)similarly identify the invisible energy provided by God thru' EUCHARIST
(6) out of love to you,HE make Ur blood blessed by HIS BODY& BLOOD, thru' EUCHARIST
(7)to receive, you should attend FULL sunday mass/avoid venial sins/be grace with God.


Thank you!

Now we know, without our knowledge, air is being purified by God. First, air is conditioned by nose(like holy mary to our lfe), then lungs will oxigernate our blood. This is the God's invisible action for us. God expect us to make our blood. By eating,tasting, allowing it to digest, withut our knowledge, we make our own blood inside our body. God bless our blood, thru' hs own body and blood!. When you digest holy Eucharist, this will happen!.




So God has given us good parting ritual when jesus left. I.e holy Eucharist.

Ritual among horses

Horses respond more to someone who breathes slowly and deeply into their nostrils!so that they can capture the essence of that persons smell. This is how horses greet and bond with each other. This is a ritual.


Jesus understood the need for people to have a tangible things to remember Him by. It was His ultimate gift to His staff- bread & wine representing tears and all the laughter!

Picture of blood pumping from a heart


To conclude: we can summarize all abut Eucharist as follows




(1)You cannot make air neither human blood artificially


(2)God make air,HIS will oxygen+your will nitrogen/you make your own blood by eating,tasting, digesting food


(3)without your knowledge, God oxyginate Ur blood, with your nose+lung(inhale) &send out(exhale) all poisonous stuff in your body-HE keep the promise of your creation!


(4)for a bulb to light,current is invisible


(5)similarly identify the invisible energy provided by God thru' EUCHARIST


(6) out of love to you,HE make Ur blood blessed by HIS BODY& BLOOD, thru' EUCHARIST


(7)to receive, you should attend FULL sunday mass/avoid venial sins/be grace with God.



Thank you!
