Reflection for 26th november 2017, celebrating 34th Sunday of ordinary season,of cycle 1.
Today we celebrate the feast of Christ The King. This feast has been initiated by pope pius XI in 1925, the idea of king ship goes back to the earliest days of Christianity. It had its origin in the works,the signs, Jesus performed and the authority with which HE proclaimed the kingdom of God.
If Jesus is the lord and the king for a person, HE has a claim on the person to listen to his word and respond to them: listen and respond, not with pious thoughts but with deeds. our happiness in this world and the next depends on our response. When you follow 7 ethics+church rules you respond Christ lordship over us.


 Next sunday, we begin a new cycle ie cycle no 2, with advent season.  Today church invite us to analyze(1)how to enjoy God's guaranteed happiness in your life(2) how you have been created with body and soul and function of each(3)how to make your soul empty or free of worries to allow God's Will into your mind and how to lead life without loneliness?(4)Why you say “Worry is the interest paid in advance on a debt you may never own”,when you accept Christ As King in your life(5)How to avoid lnelness in your life


Let us consider 1st whAt is reality of life.
You cannot decide from which parent that you can come to this world. Simple practical answer is God decided. Then your parents has brought you from babyhood to childhood. In childhood, you just followed what you parents ask you to do. You depend on them. When you leave childhood to adult hood, you start realizing your interdependence with society. You get to know that you are interdependent for you living with society. When you Are depend on society for your living, you have to love the society. Though you are dependent to society, for your living, you realize that you live to enjoy this life or to be happy in this life. Major impediment to enjoy your life are worries in your life. How to treat worries? The problem become more complicated, since you are not avail of 100 information about the reason for your worry, neither you don't know 100% out come of your actions. Under this scenario, you have to be clear that God knows every thing,HE has guaranteed your happiness. you have option to lead your life, according to what HE said, then you realize  “Worry is the interest paid in advance on a debt you may never own” if you opt to follow God as your king.



worry and loneliness are 2 sides of your living coin!. On one side you have worries and on other side you have loneliness. Marriege is not the solution to avoid loneliness. Whether you opt to marry or not, these 2 become independent to marriage! And highly depend on to your living society. Sometimes, if both partners in a marriege, don't realize the importance of managing these 2 aspects, they might easily attracted these 2 problems, more than single person living.
The easiest way to manage these 2 problems are given in catholicism.

(1)Treat God as the king of your life.
(2) Follow 7 ethics +church rules, since this summaries what God ask you to do. And church is fully facilitating this
(3)Hand over your worries to mary+saints
(4)Convert your talents to energy, identify action which lead to wisdom of your life.
(5)ALWAYS REMAIN SIGLE MINDED IN PURSUING YOUR AIM,IF YOU KNOW IT IS THE GOD'S PLAN. EX: mother Thresa
(6) Then you will be able to love the society.
What is loneliness?
Loneliness is a state being alone and  feel sad about it. You don't have a opposite word for loneliness. You may think companionship or fellowship. You came to this lie alone with support of your parents. In childhood, you fully depend on parents, you don't feel lonely. But when you became adult, you become independent the dependency with parents were loosen. But without your knowledge you became interdependent.
What is the characteristics of interdependent society?


In the interdependent society, you are always power less!. You become powerful, when another person listen to you only. Only God is powerful. If you have a cancer in your stomach, you cannot remove by your self. You need the support of a surgeon for that. You are powerless. Once he removed your cancer, you regain happiness again. In this complex society, we need the assistance of a Divine Doctor, much more than earlier generations.


Today's reading:
Prophet Ezekiel( Ezk34:11-12.15-17) says  God guaranteed be a true shepard for you.
Paul says to corinthians(1 cor 15:20-26.28)" HE Will hand over kingdom to God the FAther, so that God may be all in all.
Gospel MT(25:31-46) says" He Will take High seat on HIS throne of glory and HE Will separate one from another.


.  what pope Francis says about love
Pope francis in his encyclical"the joy of the gospel" says(chapter 272) quote:
" Loving others is a spiritual force drawing us to the union with God. Indeed one does not love others"walks in the darkness"(1 Jn 2:11)," remains in death"(1 jn 3:14) and "does not know God" (1 jn 4:8). Benadict XVI has said that" closing our eyes to neighbor also blinds us to God", and that love is, in the end, the only light which can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working". When we live out a spirituality of drawing near to others and seeking their welfare, our hearts are opened wide to the Lord's greatest and most beautiful gifts. Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God. Whenever our eyes are opened to acknowledge the other, we grow in the light of faith and knowledge of God. If we want to advance in the spiritual life, then, we must constantly be missionaries. The work of evangerlisation enriches the mind and the heart; it opens up spiritual horizons; it makes us more and more sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit, and it takes us beyond our  limited spiritual constructs. A committed missionary knows the joy of being a spring which spills over and refreshes others. Only the person who feels happiness in seeking the good of others, in desiring their happiness, can be a missionary. This openness of the heart is the source of joy, since" it is more blessed to give than to receive"(acts 20:35). We do not live better when we flee,hide,refuse to share, stop giving and lock ourselves up in our own comports. Such a life is nothing than slow suicide.


In conclusion:
Today, world has shrienked to a global villege. With a matter of second you can contact a person, who lives in any corner of this globe. Thru' social media systems available such as face book, all cultures in the world are known to each other. Hence your inter dependency has become more wider, making you to have more knowledge of your neighbor. Disagreements among people are ever growing in a dynamic society. Whether my view is correct with respect to you, the difference of opinions are ever growing, making your life much more complex than previous generations!. You need the treatment given by catholicism much more now, in treating disagreements under the present scenario!.
Finally

God's will: how can you accept God as true shepard:
Catholicism clearly shows the following concepts which are essential truth
(1) God created you to live happily. God has a plan for every person
(2)Every person in this world is different both mental + physical to each other
(3)You cannot live alone in this world. You are always interdependent. Hence you should love each other. You should have both earthly + spiritual friends to be developed.
(3)Fear, sorrow and disagreements will arise while you are moving in the society. How to treat these problems by catholicism is the main difference with other religions(even other christian denominations).
(A) hand over your fear and sorrow to your favorite saint and live happily. Lighting candles, petitioning are few rituals catholics are following
(B) always carry your actions happily. If you are doing same with dis agreements, always hand over such to Jesus, where in Gethsemane, he suffered mentally and at the cross, he suffered physically. Under such cases, you request Him to allow you the courage to carry out the action if it is God's will and if the other person is at fault, even you carry out the action, requesting Jesus to correct him, since we are not aware of all the possible outcome of a action.
(5) Always lead a peaceful+ worry less+ happy mind. Then convert your talents to energy, to serve society, for the Glory of God.
You have option to enjoy your life, but treating God as king, and doing actions as HE wants. Be clear whether it I God request or your own.
Enjoy your life, with the kingship of Christ!

Thank you!
God bless you!
