To think!

Why catholics are obligatory, to attend sunday Mass?. Why every day U hv to sleep? Why God has created a day?. Why Ur life cannot be stagnate?. Why God has created U to be dynamic like a water fall Not like a lake?. When Ur friendly with God(to be friendly U hv to follow what HE asked U todo), Ur supposed to study more of HIM, on every Sunday mass. God has created more than 10000 miles of nerves in Ur body. If U hv not do stretch Ur body, Is God responsible for Ur health? If U want to appreciate about God,U hv to lead a dynamic life!

Today 15th July 2018, we celebrate the 15th sunday mass of ordinary 2 season, today church remind, our responsibility as catholics to tell others the value of God and how to be friendly With HIM, for their own happiness. To do that as catholic how to be friendly with HIM?


Why we have to carry God's message to everybody in this world?


What is the characteristics of Catholic church? Catholic means Universal. That means this religion can be practice in any corner of this globe. As you are aware, our world is having different climatic conditions in different geographical locations and different eating habits. By following the principles, taught at Catholic church, one can easily, achieve happy life!.

How Jesus achieved Mission Impossible


10 of Jesus disciples were fisherman. They are Peter&his brother, Andrew,Philip, Bartholomew,Thomas, James,Thaddaeus, Judas Iscariot. James&John,brothers of whom,Jesus affectionately call" SONS OF THUNDER"due to their explosive temperament. When HE first calls them HE simply says"COME,FOLLOW ME,&I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN (Mk1:17),they"left their nets & followed HIM. Other 2disciples, tax collector-Levi(Matthew)&Simon.


Today Who is responsible to carry this mission impossible?

It is you and me as catholics!. First we have to experience Happiness, thru following, what God asked us to do? Then we have develop a friendship with God and with saints. Why saints? They are the humans who lived a life, friendly with God. Learning how they live, their mistakes and their achievements, help us to improve our friendship with God.

When you see really that God as your friend you are not reluctant to say good words about HIM, to any of your present friends. By doing so you are not trying to convert any other religious person to catholism. If he wished that he should follow God,he will primarily study about who is Jesus, then he can proceed with 7 sacraments, that has to be received to enjoy his life happily, as guaranteed by God.

Why Jesus send Holy Spirit?

Jesus, God showed clearly how to manage our mental and physical worries, in leading a happy life. Major problem of human life is that the uncertainty of future. You don't know 100% out come of your actions

This will lead an uncertainty of future!

Jesus took human form thru' holy Mary to show us how to lead our life. This is how holy mary's viginal marriege with Joeph and Holy mary's immaculate conceptions have to be clearly understood. Then Jesus death and reurrection end the father and sons phaes of God. This they howed only to jews, following major jewish rituals life like male circumscion+not eating pork. But God message is for whole humanity. How to pass this message. That is why Holy
Spirit came.

To summerise:

Jesus- with apostles 40 days,after Risen from death &gave convincing proof about church(Act1:3)Before Jesus left, he gave HIS followers,how to achieve" MISSION IMPOSSIBLE" with HOLY SPIRIT.


Book of Act,gives 3 tiered structure of expanding news of God to(1)Jeruselem (2)Judea+Samaria(3)ultimately to world (cast-less).Act(1:8). Act10-9,cleared restriction of food while Council of Jerusalem(Act15)cleared male circumcision. Impossible things will be made possible with Catholicism (Holy Spirit) So Holy Spirit has showed us as how to enjoy our life, guaranteed happiness by God.

how church became universal.

Up to Jesus christ, father and Son era, God, in HIS own wisdom chosen Israelis to train human, how to accept God's will in to our life, and be Happy in our life. Earlier, before to church, it was only for israel cast. Hence they follow the Judaism principles, with their rituals + their restricted eating habits.

As informed by Jesus, Mary+all disciples waited, until HOLY SPIRIT arrived like a fire


on the Pentacost Day. So church, started from Pentacost day, by the Holy Spirit, with the help of Mary, peter,disciples and specially with the support of Paul. Major Characteristic of Catholic church, is universality.(Cast-less), any human can use his free will either to accept God or Not!.(Full freedom)

How it became cast-less, with Holy Spirit era?

After Jesus death,Peter is restored and help spread Christianity abroad, even inducing the first gentile or non jewish members into this movement. Act 15, introduced not to circumcise, any body to become a christian. Earlier before becoming catholic, the non Jews(gentles) to follow mosaic law, which requires circumcision as well as restriction on eating animal flesh like pork. Both these were lifted in the church, under the direction of Holy Spirit.

 Changes introduced with Universality?

2 major rituals, followed by Jews(even by Jesus+ Disciples) circumspect and restriction of eating Pork was lifted by the church(under the influence of Holy Spirit), in order to make the church universal.


For example, how male circumcise was removed?

Christians confidence should not be in his or her accomplishments.(-something successful or impressive that is achieved after a lot of effort and hard work) Paul warns the philippians about those who say circumcision (to cut off the skin at the end of penis or to cut off the clitoris of a female-jews use only male circumcision)is necessary for salvations.


Similarly Peter removed restriction with regard to eating of food(ex pork) corenelis incident.

How Catholicism provides to lead happy life?


memory block


Every human in this world have some form of taxonomy.(Taxonomy: mental disorder deriving from loosing touch of reality, and begin imagining things and acting on those imagined things)

When there is an absence of some expected behavior, you can notice one of following 3 characteristics, among humans!


(1) Flat affect: when a person's exhibits no emotionalty what so ever.

(2) Alogia: indicating that a person's thought processes are dull,blocked, or generally improvised.

(3) Avolition: when a person is having no ability to persist in an activity, looks like an extreme lack of motivation.

When your logical machine in your brain, identify, wrong attributes as truth, when you encounter, mismatch, of data to your truth, you will naturally block the logical machine, and allow blood to be drawn to your emotional machine, which works 5 times faster than your logical(human) machine.


Then your carry excessive anger, causing highly selfish comments to make. For example

White skin passenger,refused to fly, seated next with black skin passenger. Staff upgrade black man to upper class, still white man protested,resulting to block his logical machine&give full power to his Chimp machine-brain-causing him to shout/fight. Cast resulted(memory block)to cause Pride & jealousy in you, your achievement is not belongs to you but to God,If you don't hand over, you develop Pride. Your wants are different to others wants. When you are not sure,God created you,with special talents different to other& HE guaranteed your HAPPINESS,you try to obtain other people comforts to you,result in jealousy. When you forget concept behind your creation,result your blood to be drawn only to your Jungle(chimp)machine,blocking other machine. Holy Spirit formed church as Cast-Less. Can Catholic develop Pride &Jealousy resulting cast?.When your name implies silent cast,you are attracting pride & jealousy!.what to do?


So by following Catholic principles, given in the church, one can easily have a sound mind to reach happness!

C. Today's reading:


Amos says(Am7:12-15);"go pro percy to my people:

Paul says(Eph1:3-14)"Before the World was made,God chose us"

Mk:6:7-13 says"HE began to send them out."

These readings implies that it is our responsibility to carry the good message to people, unless, you and I do this, God message will not be pass to people, resulting fear and sorrow to increase among people.

Finally:


When U don't appreciate a person,U cannot say a good word about him. One of the most fulfilling &creative things is to say a GOOD WORD about Jesus.The chief purpose of any homily is to appreciate Jesus,specially HIS great love for us.Paul was saying &writing of good words for &about jesus &FOLLOWED THE WORDS WITH GOOD WORKS.Jesus summoned the 12(Mk6:7)had already chosen as HIS companions & friends & HE said 'whoever remains in ME,with ME in HIM,bears fruit in plenty; for CUT OFF from me U can do NOTHING'JN(15:5).According to Mk(3:13-14)friendship with God is 1st &following a mission is 2nd.If God does not hv Ur heart,HE has nothing.Some of us trot to Mass,rattling off few prayers, blessing ourselves with holy water etc.These are following rituals rather than thriving in love. Are U friendly with God?Do U feel ashamed to tell a good word about Jesus to Ur friends?


What U can tell about HIM?

Todays reading invite us to analyse:

(1)there are 2 types of God's.God-who has not been created.god-who has been created(like saint in catholism)(2)u cannot decide from which parents u can come this world.Only God decided Not god!.God planned to create U from very begining,to lead a happy life-Not Ur karma!(3)for that U hv to receptive to HIM & follow HIS Will(3)According to Mk(3:13-14)friendship with God is1st,mission is 2nd.If God does not hv Ur heart,HE has nothing!(4)Ur always happy to talk about a good friend(5)without friendship with God,all Ur actions become useless(6)start receptive with God+talking GOOD WORD about Him(7)afraid about good words for Jesus,means Ur standing one leg with satan & other with God.recollect what good,God has done to U'r life?start telling Ur friends!.

Today 8th July 2018, we celebrate the 14th sunday mass of ordinary 2 season, today church invite us to reflect about how HE wished to manage this world, until the end. To study about characteristics of sacrament of Community.

There are 3 main aspects to be considered to understand the how human life to be maintain towards end of this world.
1st aspect is, with the introduction of death and childhood to human, after the betrayal of Adam+Eve, human generation will be flowing with establishing a family unit, the basic characteristics of a family is union of man and woman. Thru' their union only -ie male sperm + women egg, children will be brought to this world. To make novelty for every new generation, you will observe God changes the paradigm of people. Normally every new generation will lead their life more efficiernt than Previous.
To manage the God kingdom, church has been established, to administer 7 sacraments, clergy has been assigned. Holy Spirit introduced that priest cannot marry. This is mainly due to the sacrament of healing about hearing sins, and maintain that confidentiality, priest cannot marry. The main functionality  of catholic priest, is the adminitering blessed sacrament.
Two people to live together will not be an easy task, since there are many matter outside 10 commandment, you don't know Who is correct?. Unless you respect other partner,and go with God to find out who is correct, marriege cannot be success. there is another aspect for marriege. That is each partner is undergoing physical + mental changes with time. These changes are not uniform for both partners. Under this scenario marriages become more vulnerable But Catholic marriege, Holy spirit has guaranteed happiness, if they don't divorce and try to accommodate each other,receptive with God. 

 God's Will from close system to open system or global system.
God uses Jews to show, how to reintroduce Happiness to the human. He did,'t use any other race, thru millions of years, through prophets & other means. We see in the old testament, how HE was preparing Jews. One can question, why HE used only Jews?. That is wisdom, HE always take the best method.
Then HE was sending HIS own son- Jesus to show us how to act independent, to God, to lead our life, and achieve guaranteed happiness. Through our own will, or own freedom, how we should lead our life, to be pleasant to HIM. Jesus, as a JEW, while following the major rituals of Jew(not eating pork+circumcising) showed the message of love & pardoning  and showed that HE is God, through resurrection. Major phase of Christianity is given up to Jesus resurrection, and it was to a close group of Jews.
Then after 50 days to his death, HE send Holy spirit to inaugurate the church. Mary, Peter was witness to that. Peter became the first pope. The great persecutor of Christian, Paul was converted to christianity through a vision, and his 3 days blindness. Paul, who has been circumcised as a jew, recommended NO Circumcision, for any catholics, as all human are children of God.
Then peter, who was circumcise and not eating pork, found that for the new church, there should not be any restriction of food. So new church, after Holy Spirit became an open or global church, for any human in the world, without any cast,creed. Hence church has to find amicable solutions, with the guidance of Holy spirit, any present social problems. Some are birth control, euthanasia, uni sex marriege etc. Pope infallibility becomes vital, upon these situations!. Hence Church moves strictly on non cast-open system method-as against up to jesus, only to jews!.
Today, it high lights, how you will decrease your faith due to cast. 

how cast works!

Cast is considered as fixed unchangeable social class in to which people are BORN. Your great,great grand father has 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&U 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 a country!. 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 his 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 cast become extremely difficult, causing negative outputs of church! 

Now let us analyze the Basic Era's of teaching of the church!

It is very clear, that there are 5 era's of the catholic church

Era 1: God created U to be happy, with certain rule to follow: NOT TO EAT FROM THE FORBIDDEN TREE. Our original parents proud ness and Jealousy, caused them to betray, resulting, in death, fear and sorrow in to our life. So our eternal life is having 2 periods (1) in this world(2) outside this world.

Era 2: God, the Father, train, through Israel, how to reintroduce happiness. HE was directly instructing Israelis, through various prophets and means, how to lead life according to HIS WILL. HE introduced 10 commandments with Eye to Eye principle.

Era 3: JESUS the son, showed how to lead our. Life managing, fear and sorrow. HE showed only to Israelis. He introduce the message of love, through following same 10 commandments, with turn other cheek of yours, the shortest path to realize Love in the society.

Era 4: Church was formed with Pentacost. Earlier Jesus message was only to Jews. Mary, peter and Paul, plays a vital role in making this universality, under the influence of Holy Spirit. Jesus teaching was only to Jews, and He followed, the circumcise and food restrictions(not to eat pork), where as church lifted all under the influence of Holy Spirit, church was made universal, without any food restrictions and without circumcise!. So church becomes light house of a cast less society, with Pope as the head. Church in collaboration with Holy Spirit, from time to time guide us, how to lead our life Happily!

Era 5: when you follow the Era's of Father, son and Holy spirit, the teachings of the church, you will be happy now and eternal.


Confession/marriege& Celibacy
Early church,other than most of apostles, all priest were unmarried.In11th Century, Pope Gregory VII made this practise the law.On other hand,once U'r married "A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER &MOTHER &BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE.2 WILL BECOME 1BODY".When a priest is married &hear confessions,he'll have a problem regarding confidentiality. In1517 with formation of Protestants by Martin Luther,Celibacy of clergy was1st to go out. Luther (former) catholic monk, married(former) catholic nun.Then with them,Sacrament of confession practised by Catholic Church,also was discarded since their priests were allowed to marry. John20:23 talks about confession, followed by Catholic Church;"IF U FORGIVE ANYONES SINS,THEIR SINS ARE FORGIVEN"Main slogan in Christianity is God will forgive sins.What is the process we should follow to attain this? Holy Spirit has given us sacrament of confession.




Today's reading:
Ezkiel(Ezk2:2-5):"It was the devil's envy, that brought death to this World"

Paul (2 Cor 12:7-10)says, that divine grace is sufficient for him& settle his weakness &  all difficulties"for the sake of Christ"

Mark(6:1-6) says"Jesus teaches in HIS home town & is rejected by HIS ow people" 


Reminds: Faith means you increase your knowledge on a subject. Catholic faith means you increase knowledge about God. Every day, you can increase knowledge from associating many other people. When you are cast oriented, you tend to bar your knowledge limited only to your cast, undermining God, because every creation of God's is good,every human are equal.  Cast oriented mind tends to decrease faith, and increase Proud and Jealousy in their life.

Being a Catholic & not knowing how to receptive with God, is not a excuse to receive God guaranteed happiness in your life. God like a beloved father, is waiting to support you, provided you wish to receptive with HIM. Today HE warns all of us that to be more receptive with HIM, ollowing HIS commandments+ HIS WILL!

FInAlly



Holy Spirit was the founder of Universal Church. Is it similar that our villege has now become Global villege?. Earlier to only Jews,With Holy spirit to whole humanity of this world(make it global). Now U'll be able to visulise why Holy Spirit introduced 7 sacraments &one of 3 major sacrament group as COMMUNITY, which consist of 2 sacrament. Matromony+Holy orders. Catholic Marriege is between man+woman & cannot be divorced while catholic priest cannot marry.(2 SEPERATE AGREEMETS).

Today 1st July 2018, we celebrate the 13th sunday mass of ordinary 2 season, today church invite us to reflect about main changes introduce by Jesus as against Christianity and sacrament of healing which has been introduced by Holy spirit!

We draw our attention to know the value of administering Sacraments and the relevance of these sacraments to our life. Specially today our attention was drawn for the healing sacrament!.
There are 7 sacraments in Catholic church, where as in other denominations they don't believe in all 7, hence they may have lesser no of sacraments!


When we talk about healing naturally, it will come into your mind,
What is the difference between Healing and Recovery?

Wounds,cuts,scratches &broken bones usually heal. Similarly emotions such as loss of a loved one requires a healing process(taking time). To recover means to feel physically better so we can function normally.  Ex: recovery from a cold is not a cure or healing. 

Healing involves repair of living tissue,organs &biological systems as a whole &resumption of normal functioning. It is very seldom that you are able to cure from disease by yourself without support of 3rd Party(doctor). Normal life gets affected due to mental+physical sickness. Medical doctor's advice needs to be followed for recovery. 

Our spiritual doctor(God)has guaranteed happiness. For that,we act according to what HE advice!Failure to do that(sin)requires going to confession, then again being Receptive to God &Heal back to happiness. Holy spirit has introduced sacrament of healing: anointing sick+confession.

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.




Before to Jesus,worshipping to GOD, was carried out with spreading the blood of the animals, at the offering table. In christianity this has changed to 7 sacrement, 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 sacrement of COMMUNITY. Sacraments are sacred rites. The catholic living mainly center ed on 2 sacrements, PENANCE,(their SINS can be erased), HOLY EUCRASTIC(where they  participate, the LAST SUPPER of JESUS).The elements  water, olive oil, Wheat Bread, 14% strength grape wine,is used for sacrements and cannot be changed even by POPE!.Catholic believes the conversion of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, at the HOLY MASS. Hence only WORSHIP is given to HOLY EUCRASTIC.




Today's reading:

Book of wisdom(Ws 1:13-15,2:23-24) says"It was the devil's envy that brought death in to the world"

Paul says(2 cor 8:7.9. 13-15)" In giving relief to others,balance what happens to be your surplus now against their present need"

Mark(5:21-43) says"Jesus restores a woman to health & brings the dead girl back to life!


In today's Gospel
2 miracles has been reported by 3 Gospel writers, except John. They should have separated these 2 miracles in their writings. But all of them has written in one paragraph!. 

Two miracles we found,
Jesus cured hemorrhage woman,then asked who has been cured? Did Jesus(God)didnot know,who has been cured? Why HE showed this to us?. Similarly does Jesus not know jairus daughter has died?. What HE wants to show us from these incident?

Another points that need to be analyzed!
Then why Jesus showed us, sick person has to touch HIM, to bring back the life of the child, HE lifted her and said' tali kum". These 2 miracvles illustrate how our sacraments full fill their purpose, specially the sacrament of healing. The sacrament 
Of reconciliation(Penance)and the acrament of anointing the sick"Jesus was immediately conscious that Healing power had gone out of HIM" says the Gospel. That means HE still conscious about Healing power when ever these 2 sacraments are administered.

A sacrament is a sign : it points to Healing feeding,forgiving,strengthening.
The human condition that we all share is generally in need of healing. There is a lack of wholeness in us. It may be physically, mentally, spiritually or combination of them all. We are always fearful, insensitive, unforgiving,vengeful, un appreciative of goodness and beauty in others or in the world of nature. Each of u knows our own weakness. And we want to be healed, made whole again.
But there are certain requirements on our part too. It is obvious from todays gospel that our 1st requirement is our faith."Fear is useless Jesus says" what is needed is trust."Daughter it is your faith that has cured you". It I hardly necessary to insist that faith in Jesus is essential. But We also need faith in ourselves we have to believe that we are Worth of healed and that is not always easy due to many reasons.  A poor self image can result from national origin,lack of education,even physical infirmities or sins we may committed in the past. But not a single one of these causes is valid. All that matter is who we are. WE ARE PERSONS WHOM GOD HAS CALLED INTO EXISTANCE BECAUSE GOD HAS KNOWN AND LOVED US FROM ALL ETERNITY. God cares for us not for where we come from or what we look like!.
So we need faith in ourself but above all is Jesus. We have to believe that HE believes in us and that HE is eager to heal us of our infirmities , what ever they are!. JESUS DOES WANT PEOPLE TO BELIVE THAT THEY ARE WOTH OF BEING HEALED!
