Sunday (13/9) Renouncing Catholic - in summary

You are like  light house-TOWER WITH POWERFUL FLASHING LIGHTS THAT GUIDES SHIPS AWAY FROM DANGER.
Renouncing God from your life!
(Renounce: To publically says that you will no longer keep something, or stay an important position, because you no longer have the right to it.)

Today, you are told, that when you follow Commandments+church rules, you can manage any worries stemming in your life, Since Holy Spirit will support you.

Today's reading
Isaiah says(Is 50:5-9)"..Lord..opened my ear..I..No resistance..I offered my back..who stuck me..Lord comes..my help.."

James says(Jm 2:14-18)"..brothers..never done..good act..claims..faith.will..save him?..if good works do not go with it..quite dead.."

Mark says(Mk 8:27-35) "..Jesus.. questioned..'Who do people say I am?'..Peter 'You are..Christ'..Son of man..destined.. suffer..put to death..after 3 days..rise.. Peter..remonstrate..He rebuked..'Get behind me Satan..you think not God's way but man's..to be a follower..renounce himself..follow me..who loses..life..my sake..save.."


Reminds: That, after Jesus Christ God has given full freedom to human. Before HE trained humans through Jews, how to use our free will(Freedom),in enjoying happiness.
With Freedom, you are having a free will to take any decision of your actions. BUT 100% out come of your action is not known to you. Only God knows.

Unless you lead your,actions or life, with God's direction, you are not certain about out puts to your actions. For most of your success, you can praise God. This is the remedy for avoiding 7 major vices(such as Sloth,Anger,Pride,lust, envy, Gluttony,Avarice).

Happy life!

Catholicism provides a very short method to lead a happy life. For that following factors has to be understood properly.

(1) God created Human to lead happy life, using full freedom. Always freedom is subject to law. But failure to adhere to law, creates fear,sorrow and disagreements among humans
 (2) God selected Jews, to train how to reintroduce freedom, through various prophets, talking directly with humans. In this process, like Master/Slave operation. This phase concluded after John the Baptist. In this phase 10 commandments with eye to eye operation was introduced.
(3) God came as Son, to the same Jews, and practically showed, how to exercise our free will, in managing fear and sorrow. He clearly showed our life will swing from Gethsamani to Golgotha. He reintroduced 10 commandments, now with' turn your other cheek'.(Since HE is not direct, you don't know, whether you are correct or Not) HE mainly showed following important points.
(A)With full freedom given to human,out come of any action, human cannot predict 100% outcome. God has retain that functionality.
(B)more you become Slave to God's Will, your happiness is more probable. Hence follow all commandments, identifying God in every action.
(C) certain actions, human way of thinking may interact. Sometimes for our human mind we think it is not practical. But God's ways are different. Imaging how mother Theresa started serving poorest of poor.

 (D) Risen Jesus shown importance of controlling 5 senses(mouth,ear,nose,skin &eyes) since He has risen with 5 wounds not with other wounds.
(F) Role of human, starting with Holy Mary was shown, with regard to handling worries of any human. This has been extended to all saints.
(G) Jesus has risen from death, within 3 days, why 3 days?, just to indicate your can erase your sorrows/worries within 3 days, with catholic principles.

(4) After 10 days with ascension of Jesus, on pentecost day, God shown how to enjoy your freedom, with formation of church by Holy Spirit. Church is having following major characteristics
(A) Cast less society, to treat all human as 1 family, loving each other/ not restricted only to Jews
(B) laws to be introduced(how to handle morality deriving from technological/scientific advancement)by Church, to exercise the freedom, to lead happy life,
Infallibility of pope become prominent and belief of direction of Holy spirit through Pope is essential factor. Under this function, catholic church become more dynamic, resolving the day to day problems that arises.
For example other than major doctrinal dogma's pertaining to Holy mary, many other decisions have been taken with regard to restriction on food, circumcision, artificial birth control, abortion or Euthanasia. This will go on till end of the world.

A good Example of mother Theresa

Born in Albania(26/8/1910)& baptised as Agnes,She is the founder of Missionaries of Charity (1950–1997), who serves poorest of the poor.Their mission is to care all unwanted & unloved in society,as carriers of CHRIST Love in the Slums.On the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,22/8/1952,she opened her1st home for dying,named "nirmal Hriday"(pure heart) at Kalighat.
She saw,over 20000 people dying.One of them said"I have lived like an animal in the street,but I am going to die like an angel,loved and cared for"1971she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.She died on5/9/97in India,beatified by JP2 in 2003.Church recognised the healing of an non christian Indian woman in 2002,who had a huge abdominal tumour.Her Motto was'WE DO IT FOR JESUS'.

Mother Theresa, was living example, to show the reality of today's reading.
She died on September 5, 1997 (aged 87)
Calcutta, India.

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:23: Date:6/9/2015 deaf Catholic - in detail

A.  Back ground: In Catholicism you are allowed to digest God, into your body with Holy Eucharist. In order to have meaningful digestion you are supposed to follow rules given by church. Then we analyzed how God extends His kingdom towards end of the earth thru' 2 sacraments matrimony and holy orders.
Last sunday we analyzed in detail, the rules that has to be followed.
This sunday we focused about the deafness created by human. Specially due to cast formation. You may be following the commandments, avoiding 7Vices and practicing 7 sacraments but if you lead your life in forming any form of cast, today it says, God's Will, not come to you.

In action serving only to your preferred people may lead you to serve only to a cast. This too will be going against to receive God's will to you, as all human belongs to one family.

B. Preamble for todays reading:

B.1 deafness:
What is the difference between blindness
And deafness?
When you don't have the knowledge of Catholism, then you are blind. When you cannot receive God's will, you are deaf. These 2 are interconnected. When you are blind you form your own imagination.

Blindness
A man born blind comes to me and asks" what is this thing called color green?" How does one describe the color green to someone who was born blind? One uses analogies. So, I say"the color green is something like soft music,"oh" he says"soft music". "Yes" I say. So the second blind man comes to me and asked "what is the color green?" I tell him it is something like soft satin, very soft and soothing to the touch. So the next day I see that two blind men bashing each other, over the head with bottles. One is saying it is soft like music and the other is saying "it is soft like satin"and on. It goes.. Neither of them knows what they are talking about. Because if they did, they will shut up.
The fact is that" YOU ARE SUROUNDED BY GOD, AND YOU DON'T SEE GOD, BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD"


This is true even for catholism. You form your own religion. Catholic church has organized each Sunday 3 readings, which will cover in 3 years, for us to gather knowledge of characteristics of God's kingdom. When you fail to reflect and gather knowledge, you form your own religion for your own convenience. This is what is happening to our own church going catholics. There is a spiritual blindness.


B.2 One Family

You cannot decide from which parents you should come to this world. Only God decides. God created you according to His image. Hence your actual father is God, making whole humanity as one family with Father as God. As one family,you cannot differentiate any other human,as Poor, rich,country wise etc. you cannot live in this world alone. You need support of another person!.A loaf of bread on your table,is a result of around 350 humans. When you need another person's support,you have to love him.
Basic operation of Catholicism is

(1)God created you
(2)You have to love each other.

Formation of any cast money/power/etc vice,is going against God's will to be blocked to you. When your name implies a hidden cast or when we built churches according to casts,it is going against baptism or church principle of cast less society and anticipated happiness will deprived from you. Cast conscious mind introduced deafness to God's Will for you.


B.2 forming of cast:

Main form of Cast is considered as fixed unchangeable social class in to which people are BORN. Your great,great grand father were farming, where as mine was fishing,today we both are teachers doing same job,(may be same blood group),but we differentiate each other from cast. Cast conscience person will lead to hardheadedness(form of pride),where he take practical decisions without letting his emotions affecting his judgment. You tend to forget, that God has created you and every human is God creation & you have to look for friendship irrespective of cast. Cast dilutes the ability to appreciate,human achievements unbiased way,thus harming your self of deprived knowledge. There are many other forms of cast based on ancestral villege/based on your job position. All casts are heading towards selfish motives,while coordination between one cast to another is very poor depriving to achieve common goals of society!. Pope Francis send clear signals of having a cast less church.

Cast has become cancer in the developing countries. People prefer to show their cast in their name, just to get undue preference, from others(for their own selfish motives).
Priests in the church are also instrument in forming casts. Parish priest, other congregations, other clergy are forming various casts, and coordination between each cast become extremely difficult, causing negative outputs of church!

B.3 how God's Will be known to you!
Catholic life can be divided into 2 parts:
(1)Basic life: to lead a peaceful +worry less life
(2)Secondary life: To lead your life according to the God's Will
When your life is not peaceful and worry less, you are leading your life according to your will. You may pray, but your own conditioning and your lack of knowledge of God, may lead your life, according to your wish. For slightest thing if your getting angry, is a common symptom of this life. So first analyze, why you are getting anger, check whether, your life is leading with 10 commandments+ adhering to sacraments. Then you have to verify, whether you receive Holy Eucharist, with proper preparation. This does not mean, whether you eat 1 hour before, but this means, whether you are having Pride+envy, mind is tune to casts,whether you have enemies certain other conditions we contemplate on few sundays during this cycle ordinary time.
Finally, you should hand over all your worries to Holy Mary and saints, for them to intercede with God for you. They are the people(Holy Mary+saints) who were successful, in handling worries, in this life.

(2) When you are not happy, it will block God's will for you. You can lead worry less life, still God's will not come to you, if you are not happy. When you forget, God is omni potent, omnipresence and omni scent, your life will be attracted by 7 vices without your knowledge. These are anger, sloth, pride,envy, lust, avarice and gluttony. These can be overcome by practicing, how to regulate your will, keeping in mind that God has created you to lead a happy life!.


C. Today's reading:

Isaiah says(Is 35:4-7)"Say..all hearts..Do not be afraid..God is coming..save you..blind.. opened..ears..deaf unsealed..dumb sings for Joy.

St James says(Jm2:1-5)"..brothers.. not..combine faith in Jesus..making.. distinctions..classes of people.

Mk says(Mk7:31-37),"..Jesus..deaf man.. HE.. put HIS fingers..man's ears..touched his tongue..spittle..'Ephphatha'..his ears..opened..HE makes..deaf hear..dumb speak"
Reminds formation of any cast will introduce deafness into you. You are barring God's will to you.
You may be a priest, forming group of priest as superior, will block God's Will for you!.


D. Conclusions:
Forgetting that you are created by God,and whole humanity is one family, makes us to form cast in various forms. Today we are reminded, to avoid any form creating cast among people. This will avoid to introduce  God's will for you!

Sunday(6/9)deaf Catholic - in summary

" YOU ARE SUROUNDED BY GOD, AND YOU DON'T SEE GOD, BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD"

This sunday we are reminded about our own deafness with respect to God's Will. We go to church, but, failed to reflect, in a organised manner, how to lead our life, according to the God's directions.


Isaiah says(Is 35:4-7)"Say..all hearts..Do not be afraid..God is coming..save you..blind.. opened..ears..deaf unsealed..dumb sings for Joy.

St James says(Jm2:1-5)"..brothers.. not..combine faith in Jesus..making.. distinctions..classes of people.

Mk says(Mk7:31-37),"..Jesus..deaf man.. HE.. put HIS fingers..man's ears..touched his tongue..spittle..'Ephphatha'..his ears..opened..HE makes..deaf hear..dumb speak"

Reminds:
(1) our spiritual blindness lead to our spiritual deafness. This means, that we think that our life is led by God, while we go against to his teachings, and form our own God!.
Best way to avoid this is follow sunday 3 readings and reflect what God directs you!

Blindness
A man born blind comes to me and asks" what is this thing called color green?" How does one describe the color green to someone who was born blind? One uses analogies. So, I say"the color green is something like soft music,"oh" he says"soft music". "Yes" I say. So the second blind man comes to me and asked "what is the color green?" I tell him it is something like soft satin, very soft and soothing to the touch. So the next day I see that two blind men bashing each other, over the head with bottles. One is saying it is soft like music and the other is saying "it is soft like satin"and on. It goes.. Neither of them knows what they are talking about. Because if they did, they will shut up.

In order to remove our spiritual blindness, once should gather knowledge about God, without forming our own image suit for us. Catholism provides easy method to understand what you should do, last sunday, we contemplate on this!.

(2)Last sunday summary:
Not to have our own ways to follow God. Church is led by Holy Spirit.2 types of commandments:
(1)what Jesus has told
(2)what church formed.
Know these clearly.
Don't change according to your conveniences
(1)are U worship only Eucharist or parents?
(2) Do you follow 7 sacraments?

Hence  understand clearly,operation of the church. Why Papal infallability is needed? Why church rules are also important?. Many dogma's has been established under papal infallability such as
(1) universality of church(castless society)
(2)no restriction of food-u can eat pork
(3)no circumscion
(4)Immaculate conception+assumption of Mary
(5)restriction on birth control & abortion(6)Euthanasia are few to mention. There are popular current topics like unisex marriages are yet need decision. All these factors are needed to enjoy U'r life.

(3) Today, it will further address treating human differently, will block God's Will to you! Human is one family.

Concept of catholism!

You cannot decide from which parents you should come to this world.Only God decides.God created you according to His image.Hence your actual father is God, making whole humanity as one family with Father as God. As one family,you cannot differentiate any other human,as Poor, rich,country wise etc. You cannot live in this world alone. You need support of another person!. A loaf of bread on your table,is a result of around 350 humans. When you need another person's support,you have to love him.
Basic operation of Catholism is
(1)God created you
(2)You have to love each other.

Formation of any cast money/power/etc vice,is going against God's will to be blocked to you. When your name implies a hidden cast or when we built churches according to casts,it is going against baptism or church principle of cast less society and anticipated happiness will deprived from you.Cast conscious mind introduced deafness to God's Will for U!. Ephphatha!

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:22: Date:30/8/2015 Clean Catholic - in detail

A. Back ground: after analyzing, value of Eucharist, the pre conditions that we should follow to receive God to digest into our body , last sunday, we were told about how God, planned to extend his kingdom,till the end of earth with,married and single,life. How they should behave in each category, to reach happiness. This sunday, we were reminded about, how to develop our knowledge and practice(against your earth bound comforts) to realize Happiness,as guaranteed by God.

B. Pre amble for todays reading:

B.1 Path For Happiness!

Church was initiated by Holy Spirit,on pentecost day and provides easy path for Happiness both in this world and outside. To drive a car,from one place to another,you should be aware of driving rules, otherwise you might end up with accidents. Similarly our life too, we are traveling in time. God guaranteed you, Happiness with respect to time. We know birth and death is only controlled by God. You cannot decide from which parents you should come to this world, neither you cannot decide upon your death time. Both are controlled by God.
Hence you should be clear, about, what God has told you to do?

B.2 Basic Rules
you should be aware about basic rules to follow, in Catholicism
(A)10 commandments/
(Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me/Thou shall not take name of  Lord thy God in vain/ Keep holy Sabbath Day/ Honor thy father& mother/ Thou shalt not Murder/Thou shall not commit adultery/Thou shall not steal/Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor/Thou shall not covert thy neighbor's wife/Thou shalt not covert thy neighbors goods)

(B)Follow7 sacraments;
INITIATION-(BAPTISM,HOLY EUCRASTIC & CONFIRMATION):
HEALING-PENANCE & ANOINTING: COMMUNITY-Matrimony&Holy orders

(C)Pardoned your enemies and avoid7vices(sloth,Anger,Pride,envy,avarice,lust,gluttony)

(D)avoid artificial birth control,Euthanasia and abortion.

Practice(A-D),to receive Eucharist, and anticipated Happiness derive from it.

B.3 Jesus teachings and Church guide lines for happy life!
Church has created 2 sacraments to maintain God kingdom in this world. Matrimony and holy orders. Similarly, God changes the way of living of people (paradigm shift). How church synchronize this paradigm shift and maintain the wish of God?. Through papal infallibility this has been achieved. Church carefully study and put set of guide lines, that has t be followed by catholics.
Ex: artificial birth control,Euthanasia , abortion are main points to mention. Church identifies papal infallibility, is essential for this Without identifying papal infallibility, catholic church will not be dynamic.

B.4 Papal infallibility
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 TERMINOLOGY, 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.

C.Today's readings:

Book of Deuteronomy(Dt: 4:1-2.6-8) says"..Israel..notice..laws and customs..I teach you..take possession..fathers giving you..add nothing..command you..demonstrate..your wisdom.."

St James says(Jm 1:17-18.2122.27)"..good..perfect..given..from above..He made His children..message..truth..created..accept..submit..word..planted in you..do..not just listen..deceive yourself.

Mk(7:1-8,14-15,21-23) says"..Pharisees..gathered..Jesus..unclean hands..never eat..washing of cups.."Why you..not respect traditions.."..you hypocrites..with lip service..hearts.. far.. worthless..human regulations..nothing make..unclean..evil intentions.. fornication, theft,murder,adultery,avarice,malice,deceit,indecency,envy,slander,pride,folly..man unclean"

Reminds: only talking is not expected by God, in creating you. First you should know his rules given to  follow. Understand the rules. Follow the rules, in your life. Earth bound attractions are generally opposed to the given rules. There are 2 types of rules. (1) give by Jesus- to follow 10 commandments+ pardon each other+follow God's Will.
(2) Given by church; Holy spirit form the church. In Jesus time, God shown the method of salvation only to jews. Certain rituals like not eating pork or circumscion were even followed by Jesus+all apostles or even Paul. But the church, which has been formed by Holy Spirit, extended salvation to whole world, without restrictions such as eating pork or neither to circumcise.
Pope infallibility gives rulings on certain controversial issues, with the support of Holy Spirit. Artificial birth control, euthanasia and abortions are few to name.
7 sacraments, has been laid down by catholic church, in order to have more meaningful worship to God.

D. Conclusions: Today, we are invited to analyze the basic rules, that we should follow, for us to receive God's grace. Once we are with God, one can notice that he will avoid the vices that has been mentioned in Gospel. I.e  fornication, theft,murder, adultery,avarice,malice,deceit,indecency, envy,slander,pride,folly. Other wise we are just name sake Catholic, without happiness in the life, as anticipated by God.

Sunday(30/8) Clean Catholic - in summary

AVOID fornication,theft,murder, adultery, avarice,malice,deceit,indecency,envy,

slander,pride,folly, to enjoy your life!.

Book of Deuteronomy(Dt: 4:1-2.6-8) says"..Israel..notice..laws and customs..I teach you..take possession..fathers giving you..add nothing..command you..demonstrate..your wisdom.."

St James says(Jm 1:17-18.2122.27)"..good..perfect..given..from above..He made His children..message..truth..created..accept..submit..word..planted in you..do..not just listen..deceive yourself.

Mk(7:1-8,14-15,21-23) saya"..Pharisees..gathered..Jesus..unclean hands..never eat..washing of cups.."Why your..not respect traditions.."..you hypocrites..with lip service..hearts..far..worthless..human regulations..nothing make..unclean..evil intentions..fornication,theft,murder,adultery,avarice,malice,deceit,indecency,envy,slander,pride,folly..man unclean"

Reminds that (1) we have to understand commandments clearly and practice it without deviation.
Commandments to follow are
(a)10 commandments
(b) pardoning
(c) avoid any form of cast formation
(d) avoid 7 vices (today Gospel expand this into 12 items)
(e)identify 7 sacraments: Baptism,holy communion,confirmation: confession,last rites: matrimony & holy orders.
(e) follow God's Will for you

For example, worshipping only Eucharist has overridden by cultural behaviours of certain countries by worshipping parents,teachers and elders.

Last sunday, we studied the characteristics of having a good society. Basic elements of family and single life and how it contribute to achieve God plan was analysed. Today focus was given to analyse, the basic factors that you should consider for your self to enjoy your life. It warns that we tend to operate our own Excusetics with culture, deviation from commandments!

Points to Remember:
(1) Church was formed by Holy Spirit. First pope was Peter.
(2)To maintain God's kingdom, matrimony and holy order has been laid as sacraments (out of 7)
(3) Way of living of people changes everyday. This is mainly due to scientific advancements. Some developments goes against, moral teaching of the church. Under such circumstances, Pope, will define as what to do. Papal infallible will come into play under such circumstances. Ex: artificial birth control, abortion, euthanasia, unisex marriages etc

Cycle 2:season:ordinary(2): Sunday No:21: Date:23/8/2015. 2 in 1 Catholic - in detail

A. Back ground:
 last few sundays, we were informed about value of Eucharist, how we should behave to receive God into our body,(a great example shown by Holy Mary-in keeping Jesus in her womb in 9 months) , to enjoy the intended happiness of receiving IT.
Today we were invited to analyze, how God's Will effect in your life and society. Basic element of society is family. 2 nd reading take from Eph 5:23-32, instead of 5:21-32.
It gives you major complication that can arise in family life, specially the role of husband.

B. Pre amble for today's readings:

B.1- Society

God has created this world for human to live happily. Each human is having a life time, which will be around 100 years(in general).
God ensured human generation to be dynamic, with the basic unit of family. Which consist of man and women.(Uni sex marriages will have only one generation!)
On the other hand, God changes the paradigm of people, so that dynamic life exist(there is a life flow) , from one generation to another generation. Your great grand father has traveled in a cart, where you travel today in a car.
After Jesus, all human was given full freedom to exercise decisions of his life.(Upto Jesus, God shown how HE planned(Father)to Jews, what action we should follow to enjoy full freedom-Jesus/Son). Holy spirit has started the church on the pentacost day, to run dynamically, church, like a light house, for the people to understand God's will towards them.

The basic unit of society, the family, is becoming challenging with the present paradigm of people due to the following reasons:
(1) Mind and body of husband and wife is everyday changing and the changes for each are not the same.
(2)There is a struggle between husband and wife how to adopt these changes, to lead their individual life happily. I am correct-you are wrong-many disagreements are leading in family life. Unless both parties adopt themselves for a solution, family life become more challenging than single life.
(3) Single life too, will have problems. Earthly desires may hamper single life and create frustration among them
(4) Catholic church adopt single life for its clergy. This is mainly due to have a direct relationship with God and saints, without any intermediate controls. In married life, there are lot of earth bound needs such as power and money, maintaining children etc, where in clergy's life, they concentrate fully to the spiritual need,irrespective of physical (earth bound) needs.

B.2.  Celebacy

Paul says"it is better to marry than to burn(with passion) "(1Corinthians7:9)For those not"burning",Paul recommends remaining un married so that they can be un distracted in their service to God. Paul admits,though, that most people don't have "gift"& that apostles,such as Peter,married & served God. Next 1000 years,many clergy took Paul's advice on celebacy to heart& it became ideal for those wanting to devote themselves fully to God's service. 11th century what Paul recommended became requirement by pope Gregory VII to those wanting to serve as clergy. Catholic Church will not ordain a man to priest hood who has not his vital powers. She want men who have something to tame,rather than those who are tame because they have no energy to be wild. It should be no different with God. With Protestants(16centuary)Celibacy of clergy is1st to go out-Luther,(former)catholic monk,married(former) catholic nun.

B.3 Married life

Married life becoming more complex than before. While the basic need for human s to search for food, there are many wants, family is demanding. What is there for me? Or why shouldn't, we have the same where others have. These questions might address by various family members. On the other hand the 2 main family members, husband and wife will have formed their life, according to their own conditioning. Taking decision in a family, will become very complex due to this varied conditions!. Here the role of husband becomes vulnerable. He cannot act as a dictator, nor he cannot ignore a request!. He should lead a. Balanced life along with support of God and Mary/saints to identify the best solutions. That is why paul says-
 Once U'r 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

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:
(1) basic unit of the society is family. Husband and wife are main elements.  Similar to a room with a door
(2) Door lock is wife, while the key is husband.
(3)When the lock+key is not working, room is not protected
(4)Catholic doctrine says husband+wife become 1. Very difficult task to practice due to
(A)each human is different. Characteristics of each changes day by day not in synchronized way.
(B)husband+wife both character has to provide a unique output, which is very complicated.
(C)role of husband appears to be more understanding towards their wife,as Paul talk only the role of husband.(In the given section)
That is why Paul says it is difficult and Jesus says many people are leaving!.

Conclusons:

Today reading, church invites us to contemplate, her teachings, about single and married life. Both these lives has it's own challenges and merits. When you compare eternal life, your present life, even extended 100 years is nothing. God even gives us a method to be happy even in this life(even how short it is). For this we should know, that HE has created you, to lead a happy life. To lead an happy life, you should follow His commandments and respect His teachings- to day we started with single and married life, what are the challenges, avoiding our happiness, misunderstanding God and leaving HiM, to find your own disaster.
