34 Sunday-last sunday cycle 1-Crowned catholic(26/11/2014)- feast of christ the king - in summary

Prophet:Ezekiel and Paul says God is true shepard and Catholism leads U to be Happy.

 

Gospel MT(25:31-46)says"..for I was hungry,you gave me food..thirsty..you gave..stranger..you welcome..Lord when did we see you hungry..you did it this to one of the least of these..you did it to me.."

Reminds you should be rich to serve another. Your richness will depend upon how far you have converted your talents to energy. For that you need to maintain (1)peaceful and (2)worry less mind.

Major problem to achieve peaceful mind is laziness caused from JUDING OTHERS. when you see vice with your friend CHECK
(A)same vice you like, if so first correct yourself
(B)otherwise(if you are sure you don't have that vice) handover to God thru' Mary to correct your friend
(C)God will find a path,how to relieve your friend from that vice.
Remember St Monica took33yrs to correct her Son  St Augustine.

Jesus,asked to throw first stone,by a person without sin,to a woman accused of adultery. NO STONES! Came because everybody understood their sinfulness. Always try to avoid Judging in your life.

Once you overcome Judging others, it is easy for you to utilise your time for a useful purpose. Then you can control your anger to reach a peaceful mind.

From a peaceful mind, you can attain a worry less mind, by training your self in handing your fears, sorrows and disagreements to Holy Mary/saints, for them to intercede with God, to find a solution for you. This is very simple and practical method given in Catholism.
Then you can achieve a worry less mind.

Next step is to achieve a happy mind. For this you should train to avoid other 5 vices(pride,envy,avarice,lust,gluttony) in your life.

The last step is to convert your talents to energy. With good health(mental+physical) and using the available latest technology, you can easily convert your talents to energy. So that you are rich with your talents to be given to the society!. YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHILE THE SOCIETY ALSO HAPPY!

33 Sunday (16/11/2014) Lazy Catholic - in detail

A. Back ground:
Last few sundays we reflected:
(1) Catholicism mission statement-LOVE and how we develop Love in the society
(2) In the society we need friends. Some friends(parent/teachers) we are grateful(our life time) for their influence for our happy life!. Similarly we need spiritual friends! We analyzed the spiritual friends through Canonization process and how we can discipline ourself with regard to the concept of purgatory. THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE OF CATHOLISM WITH REGARD TO OTHER CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS ARE SAINTS AND PURGETORY.
(3)Last sunday, we reflected (a)our body is more value than LATERN BASILICA(b)our body can be destroyed thru' death, but thru' purgatory we will go to eternal happiness (heaven)-THREE DAYS REBUILDING ANALOGY(c)while living, we can reach happiness in 3 steps,have a peaceful mind/have a worry less mind/ then removing 5 other vices we can reach happiness (Pride,avarice,envy,lust,gluttony)
(CHASE AWAY OUR MARKET ROUND THE TEMPLE)


Today, again we were reminded, how to achieve Happiness while we are living on this planet. Highlighting the same vices to be removed!


B. Preamble to today's reading

B.1 Human behavior
In your body there are 86 Billions of Neurons and they form 1 trillion networks. Everyday these neurons are changing forming new ideas(networks). If you are not careful about your life with practice of agreed principles of Catholicism, avoiding laziness, you tend to change your behavior pattern. You need spiritual support to achieve that: attending Holy masses(specially on sundays/with the idea of sunday readings), wearing miraculous medal, reciting daily individual rosary will help you to maintain your behavior successfully to reach happiness)

B.2 main points of Jesus messages:

When we summaries the Jesus messages
We find 3 basic actions that need to be achieved in our life. They are

(1)DEVELOP A PEACEFUL MIND: avoid Laziness and  Anger to be developed in your body. Then follow 10 commandments

(2) DEVELOP WORRY FREE MIND: worrying will block God's will to be implemented thru' you. As shown by Jesus(at cana+cross) hand over your fears, disagreements and sorrows to holy mary and saints, have a worry free mind,
In the case of disagreements, you can request to guide you/develop courage to accept the disagreement, if it is God will or you can request thru' saint to God, to correct the disagreed person, if it is satan work.

(3) HAPPY MIND: once you have the worry free mind, you convert to happy mind, by understanding the other 5 vices and avoid them in your life: these 5 vices are PRIDE,LUST,GLUTTONY,ENVY and AVARICE

B.3 HOW TO CONVERT YOUR TALENTS TO ENERGY

In order to convert your talents to energy you should carry out the following 3 actions:

(1) You should have a happy mind
(2) You should be efficient(use the latest technology like email as against post)
(3)Use your available time developing your talents(one or more)

Without your knowledge you will see that your Talents are converted to Energy!
And society will enjoy your talents!

B.4 HOW TO FORM HABITS?

Forming good habits will result you to develop healthy and happy life. In order to develop habit, the following 5 actions are important:
(1) Be interested in a given subject
(2) Reflect that subject, at a given fixed time of a day.
(3) When you reflect have a worry free mind
(4)When you reflect don't think or analyze any other subject matter
(5)At the beginning of reflection try to recollect the summary of what you have reflected on the previous day

The easiest method for a catholic to start of forming habit is reciting Holy Rosary. With Rosary Holy mary/saints will certainly guide you to implement God's direction from you!

TRY TO HAVE MORE THAN 1 HABBIT for a given day. It can be physical or spiritual. For example you can have habits formed which is going to be uniform most of the days, can be as follows:
(1) Getup-go to wash room
(2) Drink water (atleast 500 ml)
(3) Do physical exercise(atleast 20 minutes)
(4) Reciting rosary (20 minutes)
(5) Having break fast

You can organize yourself according to your convenience, but make it a point to follow the habit time table without any interruption in most of the days!


C. Today's reading

C.1.  Book of proverb(Pr 31:10-13.19-20.30-31) defines about a perfect wife and conclude "LET HER WORKS TELL HER PRAISE AT THE CITY GATES" reminds the perfect bride Jesus and our duty to experience HIM,then tell everybody who HE IS!

C.2- paul says( 1 Th 5:1-6),")"YOU ALL ARE SONS OF LIGHT AND SONS OF THE DAY" and advice"WE SHOULD NOT GO ON SLEEPING AS EVERYONE DOES" reminds(1)our focus to the jesus teaching and action should be every time renewed(2)happiness even in this life is guaranteed to you,if you are not lazy

C-3-  MT gospel(Mt 25:14-30) says:
"..one He gave 5 talents,another 2,last 1..in proportion to his ability..man..5..made5more..man..2.. made 2 more.But man..1hid..master came..everyone who has ..more..and have more than enough,but man who has not,. will be taken away.."

When we observe this parable, we will notice that
(1) Jesus talks 3 examples
1st one is just to show how we are going to be rejected(1 example) and another 2 how we are going to be successful.

(2)Why 2 examples for success?

(3) Is it connected to last sunday within 3 days the temple will be rebuild?
Remind us the major actions catholic should carry out (by observing the Jesus character and His actions) to reach anticipated Happiness promised by God to you!

These 3 major actions are summarized here.
(1) The talents given by God to you, has to be developed to convert to energy. Then this energy will be used by society to appreciate the power of God(this is not only the religion but may be art, science.....etc). Laziness lead to anger, and will block your talents to be converted to Energy. If you train to avoid laziness and anger and practice 10 commandments in your life,will result a peaceful mind in your body.

(2) With the peaceful mind, now you are on the positive direction for happiness. Then you should develop WORRY FREE mind. This is where the catholicism plays a very pivotal role, unlike other christian denominations or religions!.Catholicism teaches you to hand over your fears and sorrows to Holy mary and saints. Through their intervention catholics believe that they find a simple solution for their worries.

(3)Once you develop worry free mind, you can reach happiness by identifying the other 5 vices, you should be careful not to develop in your mind. Ie Pride,lust,gluttony,envy,avarice


D. Conclusion
Today, it is having a direct linkage to previous sunday, where we contemplate that
(1) Your body is formed according to image of God, and it is of highest value of this earth!
(2)Your body and all wealth accumulated on this planet you leave with your death. Your Creater, God will provide you the same intended happiness of creation with Purgatory and heaven. So there are 3 stages DEATH,PURGATORY,HEAVON.
(3) Similarly there are 3 stages to reach happiness in this world
(1) PEACEFUL(2)WORRYLESS and (3)HAPPY mind.
 Today it will further high lighted the danger of not having a peaceful mind which will result your unhappiness in this world and the world after death.

In order to direct to the correct path, the intervention of Holy Mary and saints are of paramount importance as shown by God Himself. Wearing miraculous medal with reciting daily rosary and practicing 10 commandments will lead you to the correct path!

33 sunday(16/11/2014) Lazy Catholic - in summary

Today Gospel gives the primary action of catholism- don't be lazy. Gospel set 3 examples. One can logically analyse, that only 2 examples are logically enough to explain the outcome of the parable!. But Jesus has given three. Why? 1 talent-punishment, 2 + 5 talents- reward
He guides us to reach happiness in 3 steps!(1) NOT TO BE LAZY,develop PEACEFUL MIND (laziness gives you to develop anger)(2) reach WORRY FREE SOUL(following 10 commandments with love)+ handing over your worries/fear/ sorrows to Holy Mary+saints(3) reach HAPPINESS(chasing away other 5 vices)

Book of proverbs talk about perfect wife. Paul says"we should not go on sleeping"
Second and first reading summarises that your active life(without laziness and anger) will lead you to enjoy the good qualities of wife(Bride Christ)
Mt 25:14-30 says"..one He gave 5 talents,another 2,last 1..in proportion to his ability..man..5..made5more..man..2.. made 2 more. But man..1hid..master came..everyone who has ..more..and have more than enough,but man who has not,. will be taken away.." reminds that your unique creation with Talent And body is to enjoy TIME happily.

For that convert your talents to energy.When you have energy, you can easily help another person with your energy, you feel happy in your mind! That your talents become some service to the society!

THE PROCESS INVOLVED is given in this sunday reading

Laziness is main vice same as hiding your talents.

This will lead to achieve Anger easily. Primary aim of Catholism is lost if you have these 2 main vices,leading to unpeaceful mind.
You can develop your' talents by following 10 comms+having worry free mind,by handing your' fears& sorrows to Mary/saints.(2nd stage)

lastly you  have to avoid other 5vices,Pride,envy, avarice,lust,Gluttony to follow God's will. God guaranteed more Happiness(no fear/sorrow)to them.Role of Mary/saints in helping the correct path to follow:

The role of Mary has not been properly formulated by catholic church until 1950. All the other christian denomination, UNFORTUNEATLY have not studied in this aspect. Role of mary at cana and at the foot of the cross, clearly indicates, GOD IN HIS WISDOM HAVE SHOWN US TO GO TO MARY FOR OUR HAPPINESS as an intermediary with HIM. Further this has been enhanced from Miraculous medal 1830, visions of Lourdes 1854, dogma establish on Immaculate conception 1854, vision of Fatima 1917, dogma on assumption of Mary 1950. Finally the 2 saints involved St Catherine and St bernedeth, availability of 2 un corrupted bodies(which there is no scientific al reason) tells us the truth of this story.

You need special energy to follow the above 3 steps given in today's sunday reflection. For this intervention of mary and saints are essential! As requested by Holy Mary, to invite her into your life you should follow 3 major action
(1) wear miraculous medal,
(2) recite daily Rosary,
(3) hand over your worries to her.

With regard to above (3), always you can use latest technology, such as E-petition,or lighting candles etc.

You can easily visit following link to send petitions to Lourdes grotto, to relieve your self of your woes!

http://en.lourdes-france.org/praying/placing-a-petition-at-the-grotto-of-lourdes

At the end Holy Mary will guide you easy path to reach God and HIS intended HAPPINESS for us, to follow the propose 3 steps!

32 Sunday (9/11/2014) Passionate Catholic- dedication of the Latern Basilica - in detail

A. Back ground:
From last few sundays, we were reminded about catholics mission statement- Love. Then we were reminded about the value of inter dependency, when we live- we cannot live along, we need another persons support. We love them and we experience their love towards us. This is what we experience in a happy life and it is earth bound. Similarly Catholicism has developed a beautiful process to identify spiritual friends,so we studied about how Holy Mary and saints can help us to relive our fear and sorrow.
(This is in accordance with god wish)Immediately after that we were reminded about purgatory, how practically we are going to remember our loved departed parents and friends, thru' our prayers and sacrifice to relive them to heaven. Till we die, we are not sure whether our loved ones are in heaven. So purgatory allows us to discipline ourself to carry out good activities such as prayers and charity on behalf of our loved departed friends,like our parents. This is a beautiful,ethical and practical training one can lead to identify the love of God. Catholic church officially canonized very few persons, whom Pope identified that they are in heaven with God for sure. For last 700 years only 4 popes have canonized in this way. Few canonized person to sainthood, does not mean that very few people go to heaven. It is setting an example for us to read the character of most heroic person, to be spiritual friends to our life, while we will not forget our beloved loved departed friends. ONLY CATHOLIC CHURCH IS HAVING A VERY GOOD PROCESS FOR CANONISATION, AND CONCEPT ABOUT PERGATORY, WHILE OUR DEPARTED OTHER CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION DOES NOT HAVE. Recently we heard canonization of John paul II and John XXIII, april 27 2014. We will further we will hear the canonization of Bl joseph vaz!.

A.2. Today, it will further allow us to contemplate more on how to develop our life with good values, avoiding 7 vices, to lead a happy life. Jesus remind us how much value a human being, and showed us that we should be careful of developing earth bound assets,without spiritual, the famous story of chasing all merchants near the temple.
Here Jesus is not showing us He is in anger. When you go thru' all the paragraph, you will notice
(1) Your body is not simple, it is created according to the God's image- wonderful temple- more than the physical major catholic Basilica of Latern
(2)You can enjoy your life by developing passionate commitments: ex Elija/nelson mandela. Catholic method of achieving that in 3 steps
(3)Unless you start wiping by your own effort to curb vices, your temple is going to be impure and lead you for a sorrow and fearful life. Importance of sacrifices
(4) Temple will be destroyed with death and in 3 steps(analogy days)it will be recovered ie death, purgatory and heaven, for those who follows the God's will.

LATERN BASILICA
It ranks above St Peter's.This palace has served as residence of popes around 1000 years. Between 4th& 16th centuries 5 ecumenical councils & 20 synods were held in this basilica. Since 12 th century this has been known as St John Latern, in honour of St John the Baptist. Outstanding relics (1)of St peter & St Paul,enclosed in silver busts(2) portable wooden altar which St Peter used (3)the sacred table of last suffer on which the Blessed EUCHARIST instituted by our Lord are placed here.

Physical temple has been symbolized by the Latern Basilica of Rome. The 1st of 4 Basilica in Rome!, which indicate the human is much more valuable and complex in nature than the basilica!.


B. Preamble for today's reading:

B.1 Your body


A. MAIN PARTS OF YOUR BODY

In short, human body main components can be Heart, Brain and Mind. You need basic element food(6 elements for humans/food,water,earth,air,sunlight and fire) for you to live alive.


FUNCTION OF HEART
When you eat, the food will become blood and circulated through heart to you whole body for you to live.

FUNCTION OF BRAIN
Brain carry out orders from mind. Hence brain is the interface between mind and human body

FUNCTION OF MIND
Mind is the thought factory. You select a thought out of many thoughts file up in your mind, carry out action through your brain. Selection process is called your free will.
MIND and FREEWILL form THE SOUL.
GOD WILL NEVER INTERFERE WITH YOUR FREE WILL.

YOUR MIND WILL DECIDE WHAT IS TRUTH FOR YOU,WHILE YOUR FREE WILL DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!

B.1.1  FURTHER ANALYSIS OF YOUR BODY TO STAY ALIVE

The function of the human body is to stay alive. What does the human machine need to stay alive? The important parts when we expand further are:
(1)Body
Brains,heart,hormones,genes,motor skills
(2)Mind
Consciousness,sensation and perceptions, including vision,hearing,taste,smell,touch,balance and pain.
Thinking: which mange attending, remembering,forming concepts,problem solving,deciding and intelligence
Communicating including verbal and non verbal expressions such as body language,gestures,speech and language
Motivations
Emotions
(3)Personality
(4) Gender and sexuality
(5)Social skills and relationship skills

B.1.2  To treat human body, there are many doctors, reminding us about the complexity of the subject. One doctor cannot identify all the functionality of human body.

B.1.3  OBSERVING THE ROLE OF OUTSIDE WORLD
Brain's do not work and mind do not think in a vacuum. Behavior and mental processes are embodied within a context that includes other people and things in the environment in which people live. (Interdependent society)The social aspect of the human will depend upon Parent-child relationship, families, communities and culture. Technological advances make our world a smaller place and different cultures come into contact with each other more often than ever before, making a person's social life increasingly complex. Ex face book!

B.1.4 NATURE verses NURTURE debate

Consider a professional athletes, those elite performers who are lucky enough to get paid to play games for a living. How much luck do you think is really involved?. A common misconception about professional, elite athletes is that their natural raw talent accounts for their success. Yet anyone who has worked with or known one of these individuals will tell you that hard work has a lot to do with his subject.
SO WHICH IT IS? TALENT OR HARD WORK! NATURE Vs NURTURE. INBORN ABILITY Vs LEARNING and EFFORT.
Nature refers to the concept that behavior and mental processes are innate,inborn, and hard wired and will unload over time as a person develops and her genetic blue print is revealed. Nurture refers to the idea that behavior and mental processes are not inborn and instead are learned from the environment in which people live.
Both these perspectives have their proponents.
John locket, 17th century British Philosopher believed that given the right learning experiences, a person can become anything in life. On the other hand Charles Darwin, nature advocate, believed that a persons destiny is found in his biology and genes.
The simple answer is that both nature and nurture impact a person's Behavior and level of success.
PEOPLES CHARACTER ULTIMATELY DEPENDS UPON(1)RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF INNATE BIOLOGICAL INFLUENCES and (2)LEARNED ENVIROMENTAL INFLUENCES.
Only God knows the proportions!

There is another concept followed by most of church going catholics. They think, Holy spirit will provide all facilities, without striving hard to achieve the purpose by themselves. They exercise their Laziness,(major vice) for their own convenience to witness an unhappy life!.

B.1.6 MAIN ELEMENTS FOR THE BRAIN TO WORK !

 86 billion neurons live in the human brain and form trillions of connections among themselves. BRAIN IS MASSIVE COLLECTION OF NODES IN A WELL CONNECTED NETWORK. How information is kept an process in the brain, remains the focus of incredible amount of Neuro science researches!. Still researching! Here the forming brain network is different from one person to another person. Their mind set what is truth depending upon this networking. Then they act what is good for them thru' their free will.

B.1.7  BRAIN CHANGES
Neuro plasticity: brain can change it's size and connections through out a persons life time. Hence brain neural networks and connections are continually reorganize and it is not fixed!. After 7 years the whole system becomes new. Depending upon your life pattern. God can influence this system to control our body!except the free will. This is how you can influence your friend through prayer via saints to God. God will change the wrong networking connection of your friend through various method allowing him to experience. All are resting on your friends his free will. If he is fully conditioned it will difficult even God to change but definitely God will safeguard His genuine followers!


B.2. BELIEVING IN A CREATOR!
Believing a Creator does not violate science. When we analyze human body, it is clear, that it is an intelligent design. This cannot come from nothing on it's own!.Only from a Supreme Being who is not confined to TIME and SPACE can create something out of nothing.

B.3 GOD'S PATH

God gave us an intellect to seek the truth- be it scientific, philosophic, or theological truth. FAITH and RESONS are not competing forces but two sides of the same coin. When modern man realizes that he needs both natural(earth bound) and a spiritual wisdom, and earthly knowledge is not contradicted by spiritual knowledge, then he is on the road of the fulfillment!.

B.1 Vices:
You can easily follow Christian principles. Catholic means universal. That means it can be applied any where in this globe without any difficulty, whether it is a cold country or hot!. The major laws to follow is given below. (You will see these laws does not interact with food, what you should eat. There are no restrictions on food, clearly shows the application is universal!).
(1)Follow 10 commandments with pardoning
(2)Have a peaceful mind without anger
(3)Hand over your fear and sorrow to Mary and saints- if anybody ask you to carry 1 mile carry 2 miles happily, with the intention(a)if it is coming from Bully(satan),request to correct your friend(b)if the instruction coming from God,allow you to correct yourself(c)don't argue with your friend and always don't keep any resentment out of that action).
(4)Convert your talents to energy
Once you follow the above rules, you are going to convert PEACEFUL MIND TO WORRY FREE MIND. Without your knowledge you will develop vices, vices are the analogy of market of your life, jesus showed the importance of wiping out these vices.

7 vices
Out of 7, 2 vices namely anger and laziness are major, where you cannot practice catholism for a peaceful life! NOW YOU ARE ELLIGIBLE FOR HEAVEN.
 Even with peaceful mind you can develop the following 5 vices! They are sloth,lust. envy, gluttony. This is equivalent to market place around the temple which leads you to purgatory!. For this kind of person(most of us)God said he will re establish total happiness in heaven thru' 3 steps.
DEATH,PURGETORY, HEAVEN!


Pride; it is too great an admiration of oneself. Pride has 7 evil consequences: boasting, love for publicity, hypocrisy, hard head ness,discord,quarreling and dis obedience. When all these 7 evil inclination grow in our dealing with God and neighbor,THE DEVIL BALLOONS OUR PRIDE TO MAKE US LOSE EVANTUALLY TO OUR OWN EGOISM.

Avarice: is lead us to be greedy,and ends up with fraud,perjury,dishonesty,perfidy and harshness, in dealing with others. Avarice further leads us to desire and covet things that we should not. This behavior can affect all the 6 goods: NATURAL,TEMPORAL, SENSORY,MORAL,SPIRITUAL and SUPERNATURAL. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs the kingdom of God"

Envy; envy start demanding,"WHY SHOULD NOT I HAVE EVERY THING THAT OTHERS HAVE?". We are envious of another's goods and jealous of our own. DEEPLY ROUTED JEALOUSY CAN LEAD TO LOSE HEALTH BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL. Paul says Love is not jealous or envious.

Lust; It is a dis orientated love that seeks not the other but personal individualistic pleasure and satisfaction in everything we do. Lust excludes all personal consideration for the sake of sen sate experience. Lust leads to exploitation of oneself and others or things for our own glory, satisfaction and pleasure.
The pleasure seeking attitude in life cannot help us to partners with God. The desire for pleasure is good thing in life. Life would be sap less without it. What is dangerous is  inordinate craving for it. Jesus advocate a life that is simple. He is conscious of the dangers of riches and money.

Gluttony:
This flows from the dis orderly animal appetite, the obsession with food and drink to the point of living to eat, rather than eating to live.

C. Today's readings
Paul & Prop: Ezekiel reminds that your happy life to be built according to Catholism.


Jn2: 13-22says".. before Jews passover..He found people selling cattle..Making a wip..drove them ..Destroy..3days..raise it up"reminds:

#Your  wonderful body(86 Billion Neurons with Trillion of connections-Brain) is created to image of God(Temple)
#Vices will make your temple impure/Unless you wipe Vices by sacrifices you face sorrow and fear

Once Temple is destroyed,in3 steps,it is recovered. ie *Death,*Purgatory& *Heaven.



Last sunday we reflected about Purgatory. It will help living to remember their loved departed friends by carrying out charity and sacrifices, other than the main purpose of purgatory!

In addition to the main 3 steps to Jesus was showing about rebuiding our body with death,purgatory and heaven, there are another sub 3 steps that we should follow to seek full joy of the living, the purpose of our life: they are
(1) Follow the basic principles that has being given by Jesus with carefully avoiding Anger and laziness. You are having a peaceful mind
(2) Hand over your worries to saints, have a worry free mind
(3)Avoid other 5 vices: to lead a passionate life


D. Conclusions:

Elija
Elija told the non-believers, he would prove that there is only one God by asking God to rain down fire from heaven to consume his sacrifice. He said"IF GOD DOES NOT HONOR MY PRAYER, THEN YOUR GODs ARE REAL and YOU CAN KILL ME.". He cut up his sacrifice into many pieces and laid it out on the altar. He then poured water over it to eliminate any doubt as to the source of the fire. Then surrounded by hordes of his potential executioners he called to the heavens" OKAY GOD, PROVE WHAT YOU SAID".  Fire immediately came and consumed the sacrifice right before their startled eyes. This is COMMITTED LEADERSHIP.

NELSON MANDELA

Nelson Mandela did not become a leader for BLACK FREEDOM,because he was handsome and charismatic. He forged his influence across world by making time in JAIL and walking down lonely roads. More than 20yrs he sat in prison,refusing to compromise his commitment to FREEDOM-because he believed it was not just an issue for himself,but for all people.

Catholism lead you to enjoy your present life with passionate commitment. It clearly gives 3 stage path
(1) attain a peaceful mind
(2)lead a worry free life
(3) enjoy your life according to your passion!

Today we are reminded with dedication of Latern Basilica, inturn you are reminded actions and words of Jesus to a passion able(enjoyable) life more than the Basilica!

Nelson Mandela did not become a leader for BLACK FREEDOM,because he was handsome and charismatic. He forged his influence across world by making time in JAIL and walking down lonely roads. More than 20yrs he sat in prison,refusing to compromise his commitment to FREEDOM-because he believed it was not just an issue for himself,but for all people.
Catholism lead you to enjoy your present life with passionate commitment. It clearly gives 3 stage path(1) attain a peace full mind(2)lead a worry free life (3) enjoy your life according to your passion!

Today we are reminded with dedication of Latern Basilica, inturn you are reminded actions and words of Jesus to a passion able(enjoyable) life more than the Basilica!
