Sunday(23/8) 2in1 Catholic - in summary

Once you are' married- "A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE. TWO WILL BECOME ONE BODY. THIS MYSTERY HAS MANY IMPLICATIONS". Becoming one body in married life may be most challenging to achieve. For most people, it is difficult!

Other alternative- Single life this too has implications due to earth bound desires(which is not a need)

Also to understand properly we should know about role of clergy- who carries God's word till the end of the world. From next sunday, we contemplate, how U lead life as catholic in the society!

Today's reading:
Book of Joshua says"..Joshua gathered..chose today whom U wish to serve?..people answered"..lord our God.."

Paul(Eph-5:25-32) says"Husbands..love their wives..just..christ loved church..love..own bodies..man..love his wife..love himself..joined..wife..two will become one body..this mystery has many implications.
.."

Jn(6:60-69) says"..hearing doctrine.. followers..how..accept it?..Jesus.."Does this upset you?"..words..spoken to you are spirit and they are life..after..many..disciples left Him.."

Reminds: God's kingdom will lead this world for ever. God has created every human to be individually happy.
In order to extend God's kingdom in this world, there are 2 basic models applied.
One is married life- to extend generation
Other is single life- to extend exclusively the message of God's kingdom.
To day Paul reminds both these lives have complications, specially married life. This is due to following reasons.
When you are married both become1body(spiritually)-becoming challenging due to(1)each person is having individual character in body+mind
(2)each characteristics changes daily &not similar to both
(3)out come of your decision is100% Not known to you, hence disagreements between husband and wife always exist!.

Single life too have to overcome earth bound desires.

Church provides clear answer for you to be happy,even in this life too!.

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:20: Date:16/8/2015 Ignorant Catholic - in detail

A. Back ground: last few sundays, we were reminded, about the preconditions that should be satisfied to receive, Eucharist. Not to have pride,not to have jealousy, not to form any cast, always pardoned are basic things
We reflected in each sunday. To day, readings invited us to reflect on repercussions of having Eucharist, in ignorance(lack of knowledge or informaton about something- in this case, the out come of Eucharist+preconditioned to receive Eucharist)

B. Preamble for today's reading:

B.1. Value of Air!

Without Air we cannot live more than 1 minute!. What ever the technological development the world is pushing through, one cannot design any system for humans not to inhale air and live. Every human works from the supply of oxygen to his body. How much you are powerful, you cannot avoid air.
Air is analogous to God. God is invisible, but essential for your life. When you invite God into your life,(by following His commandments), you can lead a peaceful life.

B.2 Essential features of Catholicism:

There are 3 major features in Catholism.
(1) How to develop peaceful mind
When you lead your life according to 10 commandments and avoid Anger and laziness- you tend to have a peaceful mind
(2) Worry less mind:
Your brain consist of 2 basic machines:(a) human or logical machine- where you think with data and truth(b) chimp(ancy) machine- where you think according to your emotions and feelings. When you take actions in your life, always(most of the time) these 2 machines contradicts. Creating a cross in your head. That is why God has selected symbol of cross, for a free human(before to church), human(jews) were trained how to live like a slave. After jesus, with Holy spirit, church was formed for whole human, how to lead your life, as a free person!.
Since you form cross for most of your actions in your mind, creating worry is inevitable for humans. How to treat worries of life, is an essential feature of catholicism, unique only to catholics.
Handing over your worries to Holy mary + saints, has been advised/ shown by Jesus Him self. They will intercede with God, how to resolve your worry, with God. Once you hand over your worry, and lead your life, you will see that God will make your achievement according to His Will.(Even later you will realize what has happened was good for you)

B.3 Sacraments

Articles 1066 to 1690 of the catechism of catholic church cover the public worship of the believers(called liturgy) as celebrated in the official rituals and ceremonies known as the 7 sacraments.
The catechism of the catholic church underscores the biblical foundation for each sacrament and the concept that christ instituted them. sacraments are Sacred Rites
,Which are entrusted to the care of the church. Each one of them will have 1 or more components,which are perceptible to one or more of the 5 senses.(For example using water in Baptism or olive oil in anointing the sick, and so on...) The supernatural grace of God, which is invisible, is symbolized by the tangible elements that is necessary for the sacrament to be valid. The catechism of the catholic church makes it clear that divine grace is not limited to the sacraments. It is not by necessity-but by divine choice-that God uses these spiritual vehicles to give human kind this special gift. It was God who made men and women a combination of body and soul, so it would make sense that same God would use things of the created world to symbolized the invisible reality of divine grace.

The sacraments are visible sign of GOD's invisible actions that santifies human life!.7 sacrament, which consists of 3 major parts: INITIATION to the church(BAPTISM, HOLY EUCRASTIC & CONFIRMATION): PENANCE (also called confession or reconciliation ) and ANOINTING of the sick are sacrament of HEALING. Matrimony and Holy orders are sacrament of COMMUNITY. The Eucrastic is apex. Visible sign of the eucrastic is the bread & wine. Basic needs for living consist of 5 elements. Earth,water,air,sunlight & food,where in reality,a living has to earn for food,all the other elements are free. In order to get energy to human, one has to eat the food for digestion! Otherwise energy cannot be transmitted! The Eucrastic is the spiritual food that gives the bread of life!. There were many miracles that confirms the real presence of Jesus in the Eucrastic!.pope Urban 4 approved the exposition of Blessed Sacrement in 1264, due to the miracle of Bolsena(italy),the real practice has been started by Pope John 22 in 1311,due to the lack of liturgical pieces for the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Only from the 17th centuary, the kind of monstrance with protuding rays were adopted.


C. Todays readings:
Book of proverbs says(Pr:9:1-6)" Wisdom..built..house..7 pillars..who..ignorant..fool she says..eat..bread..wine..your folly..walk..ways of perceptions.

Paul says(Eph:5:15-20)"..careful..sort of life U lead..intelligent..not senseless.. recognize..Will of Lord..donot dug with wine..be filled with spirit..every where..thanks..God.."

Jn(6:51-56)says"I..living bread..heaven..eats..live for ever.."Jews..arguing"how..His flesh..eat?" Jesus replied"..U don't..eat..flesh..drink His blood..Not life..in U..he who..eats..& drinks..lives in me..I live..him.."

Perception: the way you regard something and your beliefs about what it is like.
Folly: very stupid thing to do,especially one that is likely to have serious result.

Following God's Will with avoiding 7 vices,and having Eucharist will lead to eternal happiness.

Reminds that at the end of the day, we have to be trained to follow God's Will, individual, to every one. 1st reading warns, in having Eucharist, without following God's will, is having serious repercussions. Also 2 nd reading gives a similar meaning, not to conditioned ourselves going against God's Will. Sometimes, without our knowledge, due to ignorance, we are conditioned to lead life with 7 vices, ignoring 7 sacraments, and having Eucharist.

D. Conclusions:
Basic Catholicism rest on major 4 pillars.
(1) our belief(creed)
(2)our behavior(following 10 commandments
(3) our worship(following 7 sacraments)
(4) how we establish connection with God(lords prayer+handing over yur worries to God through Holy Mary+ saints)

Your life is like a house with 4 pillars resting a roof. The roof s similar how you avoid 7 vices and implement 7 sacraments, in to your life. Your family is the door to this house. There is a lock to enter into the house. Lock is your wife, while you are the key.  Your children are each hinge connected to the door. In order to develop happy family, you should have all 4 pillars and roof strong. Eucharist plays a vital role in developing your house a happy one. It will have good effect when you receive, following guidelines, given on last few sundays, otherwise, it will not drive to happiness.

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:19: Date:9/8/2015. Friendly Catholic - in detail

A. Back ground:
Church was formed by Holy Spirit, on the pentacost day. Church teachings gives us how to behave ourself to lead our life happily. Last few sundays we were reminded that Not to have pride, not to have jealousy and not to form any type of cast among humans. Then we were reminded that your life is based on (1) outcome of any of your decesions, you are not aware 100%+ when you eat, you are not aware 100% what is happening inside your body. In order to mangage these 2 you should train how to find God's will for you. Western people thinks, that human is powerful and every action human can do: eastern people thinks all actions of yours can be result of God. But the church teaching is that based on God will, you have to develop your energy- you become an energy source. For this you you have to develop knowledge of God, convert your talents to skills and develop your postive attitudes for the progress of the society. So your life 50% depends on how you adhere to God's Will, and next 50% how you become energy source. Last sunday we analyse, when you follow God's will, your life become happy. This sunday, you are reminded, for your happy life, how you develop friends+ for that value of Holy Eucharist.

When there is a friend, you can be silence, since you know he will look after your interest.


B. Pre amble for today's readings:

B.1 how to guard your energy?
Your energy will be your knowledge about God, your skill and your attitudes. Similarly you can think money, power and desires
also to be your energy. People who inherit large amount of money, many of them manage to disappear rather quickly. Like wise people who have unlimited free time often find themselves involved in activities that ruin their health or peace of mind. HAVING TOO MUCH CAN SOMETIMES BE AS MUCH OF A BURDEN AS HAVING TOO LITTLE.

Jesus had tremendous energy, and he knew how to direct it. He was so clear about His mission that HE avoided many real and potential energy leaks. For example: even though he was a teacher, He refuse to engage in meaning-less debate with people who wanted not to learn but to argue.
Even at His trial, He did not waste time or energy, in what He knew would be a meaning less defense. Jesus was so aware of His energy that once when a woman reached out and grabbed His clothes in the middle of a crowd, He turned around and asked"WHO TOUCHED ME?"
How many energy leaks do we have in our own daily lives? Leaks such as angry words, or tampering in someone else's business while neglecting your own.
To be a leader you need tremendous amount of energy. Perhaps that is one reason why entertainers and rock stars often succumb to the energy boosts offered by alcohol or drugs. They are pouring out so much energy to crowds, that their own reserves get depleted. They then look for instant energy.
Energy is every where but stillness plays a major role in it's conversion from POTENTIAL TO ACTUALZED" energy. You will be amazed to learn that butterflies have to spread their wings in the morning sun shine because their scale on their wings are actually solar cells. Without that source of energy they cannot fly.!(Or they don't have energy to fly)
B.2 inter dependency!
Think about a loaf of bread on your table. For you to get this loaf on to your tabler, how many people were involved. Somebody has to grow wheat: some has to cut thecrop:dry it:.....so many things in between. If anybody has failed to do his function you will not get your bread. WHEN YOU NEED OTHER HUMAN FOR YOU TO LIVE, YOU HAVE TO LOVE HIM. In addition, as a catholic, your father and my father becomes one. So humans belong to one family. This too, will suggest, that you have to love another, so that is why, jesus has proposed, that you cannot keep grudges, against anybody. This will badly effect your health,if you don't practice, how to pardoning. Pardoning allows you to lead,your life in forward direction.

B.3 Value of pardoning:
A forging attitude create forward motion. Forgiveness does not mean been a dormant or not using discretion in whom you deal with and how. Forgiveness means allow others to make mistakes while you and they keep moving forward.
Peter once pledge eternal faithfulness to Jesus, denied Him 3 times public ally. It must have difficult for Jesus to forgive, yet He appeared to peter and forgave Him, asking him to show his love now by feeding his sheep. Sometimes,as with Peter, the farther they fall, the deeper that they will love. JESUS FORGAVE THEM.

C. Today's reading:
Book of kings(1 kings 19:4-8) says" Elijah..wished..dead..Lord..take my life..sleep..angel..get up..eat..scone baked..water..ate..strengthen by food..walked..40days..nights..reach..mountain of God.

Paul says(Eph 4:30-5.2) says"..Holy Spirit..marked U..seal..to be set free..never..grudges against others..Be friends..forgiving each..imitate God.."

John(Jn 6:41-51) says"..Jews..complaining..about Jesus.." I am bread come down from heaven..son of Joseph..How..say..Jesus..stop complaining.. each other..not..anybody..seen..Father.. learn..except..one..comes from God..who believes..eternal life..ate..manna..dead.. but..this bread..eat..not die..is my flesh.."

Reminds: that you cannot live alone in this world. You need some other human's support. You cannot kill, a worm, in your stomach,  you need a pill. Hence you are power less in this society. People say, that you are a powerful person, if you can control another person, but you cannot control yourself(health vice).Hence you are actually power less. To become powerful,you need the support of another person. Hence you have to love them and be friendly with them. This is not an easy task.
With full freedom of human, tendency for disagreements are inevitable of anybody's life. You keep a grudge with other person, depending upon the depth of the disagreement. This will cause silence anger in your body, which is harmful to your health. Jesus clearly showed, that we have to forget those incidents, by showing old linen in the tomb, where Jesus has risen!.
When we receive Eucharist, we have to clearly forget our enemies and pardon them.

D. Conclusion:

Today we focused, value of pardoning, and be friendly with any body to reach happiness in this life. When we receive Eucharist, we were reminded of not having enemies, in order for God to activate in our life.
You have to become an Energy source, for that Holy spirit will guide your life, provided you follow 10 commandments+avoid 7 vices+participate positively in sunday mass(reflect sunday readings before mass)

Reminds: we observed the path of Happiness, through all sunday readings of last many sundays. We observed, not to develop pride,jealousy,forming any sort of casts, in our thinking or association. Then we observed value of becoming an energy source of your self. I.e. Develop knowledge of god, convert your talents to skills, develop your attitudes towards society, since you are power less. Last sunday we observed, that when we follow God's will(following 10 commandments+avoiding 7 vices), God ensured your Happiness, even in this life. Today, we were further informed, the value of not having enemies and value of having Eucharist to nourish our life.
Some says, God is like air, why you should go to church. Answer is why you are using fans to collect air, when you find heat. Similarly, Eucharist will nourish your life to become energy source. For that you should receive Eucharist, with following God's commandments+be friendly with every body in your living society.

Hell is full of talented people and Heaven is full of Energetic people

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:18: Date:2/8/2015.Insured Catholic - in detail

A.
Back ground: God reassured those who follow His commandments + Will, always be happy. God is omni potent,omni presence and omniscient. Why we should follow HIM?
When we follow Him what we get?. Today readings invite us to reflect on these aspects!

Last few sundays we reflected, how to invite Holy Spirit to your life
(1) Avoid, Pride and jealousy which leads to form cast
(2)Form a habit of reflecting about God,at least once a day.
(3) Convert your God given life to energy, which consist of Knowledge,skill and attitude.

Today we analyze, the normal tendency of human behavior- Forgetting God!

Earth bound needs money,power,desires will overcome the need for spirituality. When we are in trouble,we search for God. When your life is saved without any logical reason,we say God saved us, but all other times we forget God,due to earth bound attractions

Before to Jesus, always God intervenes with humans,through prophets and various other means. Hence there was no question of forgetting God, and human was leading life as a slave(specially jews). After Jesus, with Holy Spirit, human is having full freedom, you mind will decide what is truth, while your free Will decide action(what is good) accordingly. God or Holy Spirit is hidden and you have option to invite HIM to lead your life or Not!
By mere inviting HiM is not sufficient, you have to follow HIS commandments: 10 commandments with pardoning and Avoid 7 vices are His basic rules.

B. Preamble for today's readings:

B.1 who is God, and your relationship. With Him
God is omni potent + omni presence +omniscient. Catholicism God represent in 3 persons. Father and Son, shows us how God planned humans to give full freedom and Jesus showed us how we should follow new covenant, from planning to implementation.
All these 2 phases were shown only to israelists. From Holy spirit God formed church to whole world or to whole human kind, how to use our freedom, to follow His Will individual to you. He has given a guarantee or insured us for now and eternal happiness.
On the other hand, we should not forget,our relationship with God. Logical reason for this is, that, You cannot decide from which parents you are going  to come to this world, only God decide.

B.2 Insurance

Insurance- Means arrangement with company in which U pay them money(premium)each year and they pay cost of anything bad happens to you,(ex: illness/accident).God has created you to lead a happy life,for that you have to follow His commandments and follow His Will, similar to premium of insurance. Peter went on to preach good news of equal access to God to formerly shunned gentiles. No other person called to go to"unclean"gentles before with such good news. Peter eventually was crucified for his work. In difference to Jesus it is said,he asked to be crucified upside down. This request came from man whom every one but Jesus called"THE FLAKY ONE"Peter trust God Insurance of Happiness. God's premium is for you to develop your energy,for that bonus of Eucharist is given. As much U desire independence and take pride in stretching your wings,you want to know that someone is watching and cares about every move you make. THERE IS A NET UNDER BAPTISED PERSON!.

B.3 Basic needs for you to live

There are 5 basic needs for any living being (human+animals +trees) to live in this world. Earth,water,air,sunlight and food. Human needs one more basic element I.e fire. Fire: you can kill a person or prepare a good meal. This is similar to your mind, where animals and trees does not have. When you think about 5 basic needs, only food, the living beings has to search for. Human has to manage his mind to realize happiness. From mind human creates his wants, different from human to another human. Food, if You are lazy, you cannot get. Similar to food when you don't manage your mind,(mange your wants), you cannot enjoy happiness in this life. Today Gospel, it is very clear, that when you are not lazy, and develop your talents to skill, develop your attitudes, with the knowledge of God, you will neither starve nor loose your happiness.


Today's reading:
Exodus says: (Ex 16:2-4. 12-15) "..israel complain against Moses and Aaron..why..not die..Egypt..Lord said..' I will rain..bread..from heaven..test..follow my law.."

Paul says(Eph 4:17. 20-24)"..not..go..living..aimless..life..hardly way U learn from Christ..U give up U'r old way..life..U'r mind..Spiritual revolution.."

John 6:24-35 says"..people..look..for..Jesus..I tell..U'r not looking for me..seen..signs.. bread..U..to eat..work for food..for eternal life..true bread comes down from heaven..I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE HE WHO COMES TO ME WILL NEVER BE HUNGRY. HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER THIRST"

Thirst- feeling of wanting or needing a drink
Hunger- lack of food specially for a long period of time.
Hunger for God requires you to follow 10 commandments+pardning+ avoid 7 vices+follow God's Will, then become an energy sources by gathering knowledge about God and converting your talents to energy, by developing your attitude with society
When you are in hunger for God, He will see that your want's are satisfied.(If it is good for you)

Up to Jesus,God directly involved with the lives of Jews. He gave them food, when ever they want. Paul tell about the new life, with Holy spirit(Church), you have to search for God, as well as you have to search for food. When you found God, it is eternal food but your earthly food is only for that day!.Jesus through John says the same.
