Leprosy of Head-

The book of Leviticus says"..man is leprosy: he is unclean..he is suffering from leprosy of head..As long as disease lasts he must be unclean.
Reminds your main unclean in spiritual life is attributed to silence pridness develop in your mind(head)

Reminds your actions have to be always derived out of love, but not with any hidden motives!. Avoid 7 vices in General
Anger,laziness,pride,lust,envy,avarice,gluttony. Always your actions to be God oriented. The results of the action always thank God.

Mk(1:40-45)says"A leper came to Jesus& pleaded..'If U want to'..'U can cure me',..Jesus.. touched him..he was cured..sternly ordered'..say nothing to anyone..but.. telling story..Jesus could no longer go openly into any town.."

Lourdes (11/2)

1. Lourdes apparitions:

From feb11to july16th/1858, Mary appeared18 times to the14 year Bernadette(not yet received the Communion)in Lourdes,France.

On this day(11/2/1858),She went to collect fire wood(with Marie(sister)&Jean) when they were crossing the cold canal 'Gave',a gust of wind heard but the branches of trees not moving. On the other side of the canal,in the Grotto,She saw vision at Grotto of Massabielle,along river'Gave'. She saw shining lady,around16yrs,of UNSPEAKABLE BEAUTY,DRESSED IN WHITE,WEARING A BLUE SASH(AT WAIST),WITH A WHITE VEIL(FLOWING DOWN FROM HER HEAD)STANDING WITH BARE FOOT ON 2 ROSES.SHE was having a ROSARY in her right hand,with white beads in golden chain. Bernadette is not the type to imagine the things. She rubbed her eyes, but it did not make any difference. She is afraid. To fight against her fear, She took the rosary out of her pocket. SHE WILL NEVER FEAR anything again!.Every time She came to the Grotto, She said her Rosary. The lady said hers, but her lips moved only to the 'Glory Be'.The Rosary is to say Creed, the Our Father & the Hail Mary. The meaning of the words are clear. Bernadette knew only that!


2. Lourdes as a major pilgrim place.

Whole world run after Bernadette"said chief of Police,at the time of apparitions!unknown to himself these words appears to be prophetic. up to now more than 500 m people & on average and more than 6 Million/year people come to lourdes.
Why So many people with different languages and cultures meet there every year?.why  pilgrims,repeating same actions like lighting candles,drinking water from  spring,touching rock? So many prayer petition to Grotto? The message of lourdes is relevant even Today since it brings HOPE & HAPPINESS those who seek them!. This is linked to 13 apparitions of Mary to Bernadette on 2/3/1958," GO,TELL PRIEST TO BUILD A CHAPPEL HERE & HAVE PEOPLE COME HERE IN PROCESSION".Lourdes linked us to the good news of Jesus"who is the Way the truth & the life"!


3..Pilgrim people:

Modern people are nomadic,they travel a lot. But nomad also requires reference points. In desert we should  know where to find water holes. This is true for Christian as for everyone else. This is why, today, pilgrimages and Sanctuaries are so important; they are resting places and an oasis in a busy world which can, so often, be a spiritual desert. Each Sanctuary has its own particular atmosphere. Out of this lourdes become a vital place, where Holy Mary himself invited to visit!. Pilgrims find a source of enrichment in one Sanctuary or another. European marian network links 20 sanctuaries,same as the number of decades in the Rosary.

4.Main message of lourdes Apparition: -Immaculate conception:

On27/11/1830Mary gave a Medal to Catherine(24yrs).Formed around her,written,"O MARY CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN, pray for us who have recourse to you"Then MARY told 'HAVE A MEDAL MADE ACCORDING TO THIS MODEL,EVERY ONE WHO WEARS IT AROUND THEIR NECK WILL RECEIVE GREAT GRACES.FOR THOSE WHO WEAR WITH CONFIDENCE THERE WILL BE ABUNDANT GRACES!" By1842 more than100million medals distributed. Due to profusion of healing & conversions, MEDAL named 'MIRACULIOUS'.2/2/1849 Pope Pius9 commence study "IMMACULATE CONCEPTION" and dogma established on 8/12/1854.

Within4 yrs,on 25/3/1858 Mary confirmed her name"I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION" to 14year illiteral Bernadette. A lady cannot have such a name!She repeated what she had heard to the priest!.


From feb11to july16th/1858, Mary appeared18 times to Bernadette in Lourdes. Both Catherine & Bernadette un corrupt bodies you can see in Paris and Nevere-France!.

5. Why it took so long years by church to define Dogma's on Holy Mary?

8/12/1854,dogma of Immaculate Conception was defined by pope Pius 9. Why did it took so long? In the course of history of church, this had been the object of some disagreement. Sources of these are 2 fold.1st was universility of original sin taught with such vigour by St Paul in his letters& universility of Redemption in which it seemed impossible to exempt one sole creature,even if she was mother of God. Council of trent shed light on this 1st point when it declared that it did not intend"to include Blessed & immaculate Virgin Mary in decree relative to original sin" with regard to 2 point,church introduced distinction between Redemption of victims of original sin&antecdent "Preservation" accorded to Virgin Mary in view of future Redemption. Despite these reservations, this feast spread gradually thru out church from the inception.!

6. Immaculate conception and other concepts:
The definition of the immaculate conception was made when the modern world is born. Within 5 years of that date,and within 6 months of the apparition of Lourdes where Mary said" I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION", Charles Darwin wrote his origin of species, Karl Marx completed his INTRODUCTION TO THE CRITIQUE OF THE PHILOSOPY OF HEGEL(religion is the opium of the people), and John Stuart Mill published his essay on liberty. At the moment the spirit of the world was drawing up a philosophy that would issue in two world wars in 21 years, and the threat of the 3rd, the church came forward to challenge the falsity of new philosophy. Darwin took man's mind off his divine origin and fasten it on an unlimited future when he would become a kind of God. Marx was so impressed with this idea of inevitable progress that he asked Darwin if we would accept a dedication of one of his books. Then following Feuerbach, Marx affirmed not a bourgeois atheism of the intellect, but an atheism of the will, in which man hates God because man is God. Mill reduce the freedom of the new man to licence and the right to do whatever he pleases, thus preparing a chaos of conflicting egotism, which the world would solve by Totalitarianism.
If these philosophers were right, and if the man is naturally good and capable of deification through his own efforts, then it follows that everyone is immaculately conceived. The church arose in protest and affirmed that only one human person in all the world is immaculately conceived, that man is prone to sin, and that freedom is best preserved when like Mary, a creature answers Fiat to the Divine Will.
The dogma of the Immaculate conception wilted and killed the false optimism of the inevitable and necessary progress of man without God. MAN FINALLY SAW THAT HE WAS NOT NATURALLY GOOD. ONCE HAVING BOASTED THAT HE CAME FROM THE BEAST, HE NOW FOUND HIMSELF ACTING LIKE A BEAST.

Cycle 2:season:ordinary Time(1) Sunday No:4 Date 8/2/2015- great full Catholic - in detail

A. Back ground:
Last 4 sundays in ordinary cycle we were reminded
(1)Your life is shadow Trinity. Being created by God to lead a happy life!(Father). Follow the guidelines given for your behavior(son), everyday reflect whether you are going against to this principals(Holy spirit)

(2) The major sin in our behavior is based on going against your flesh. You should be clear about Fornication!
(3) Convert your talents to energy to be used by the society,according to the God's will for you!
(4) Develop good habits to enjoy your life. Ex: 7 vices are earth bound and increase your fear and sorrow. Develop spiritual habits opposed to earth bound like praying; carrying physical exercises. Habit means you are interested to develop a subject, and will concentrate on that subject daily at a fixed time, in a fixed place, with a happy mind

Today high light is that human race belongs to one family, hence you have to look after welfare of your neighbor without carrying out your selfish ideas. Also it invites you to form a daily habit of praying-importance of having daily dialogue with God!and the responsibility of your missionary work!

B. Preamble to today's reading:
B.1: Evangelization:
Pope Francis in his encyclic" The Joy of the Gospel" chapter 19 and 20 high light the value of missionary, which we partly reflect today.
Quote
Chapter 19": Evangelisation takes place in obedience with the missionary mandate of Jesus; "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy spirit,teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you"(Mt 28:19-20). In these versions we see how the risen christ sent His followers to preach the Gospel in every time and place, so that faith in Him might spread to every corner of the earth.
Chapter 20:(quote)
The word of God constantly showed us how God challenges those who believe in Him" to go forth". Abraham received the call to set out for a new land(cf. Gen12:1-3). Moses heard God's call:"Go,I send you"(Ex 3:10) and led the people towards the promised land(cf: Ex 3:17). To Jeramiah God says:"to all whom I send you, you shall go"(jer 1:7). In our days Jesus's command to "Go and make disciples" echoes in the changing scenario and ever new challenges to the church's mission of evangelization, and all of us are called to take part in this new missionary"going forth". Each christian and every community must discern the path that the Lord points out, but all of us are asked to obey His call to go forth from our own comfort zone in order to reach all the "peripheries" in need of the life of the Gospel.

B.2 Selfishness;

Selfishness having many forms. Normally we say, that a selfish character looks after himself only. Serious selfishness is not that. when you force another person to follow your instruction, for your own benefit, is selfishness. Your action has to be pure and benefit for a society. Another form of selfishness is doing your duty only, where all duties serves a purpose. When you think other person is not doing or incapable of doing his duty, and if you can do that without complaining you have to carry out that action too. Unlike Martha and Maria case, martha complaining!


B.3: human is one family
You cannot decide from which parents that you should come to this world. Only God decide. Then your father will be God, where your father and my father is same. God has created you according to His image.(Not animals and trees). Hence all human become one Family under christian thinking. Hence we have to look after the happiness of all human, respecting their differences!. That is why charity become prominent in Catholicism!.

B.4: importance of reciting daily rosary;
Lourdes/fatima apparitions:

Without your knowledge you have developed many daily habits like sleeping,eating, brushing your teeth etc. All these action are earth bound. You feel like flying like a bird, when you are happy! How you counter balance to gravitational pull by spiritual(difficult) pull to fly.
Rosary is best therapy introduce by Holy mary as a daily habit for you to practice.

Holy mary has shown in lourdes(1854) and in Fatima (1917) the importance of daily reciting individual rosary, to develop your awareness, in leading a happy life!

C. Todays reading:

Job(Jb 7:1-4, 6-7) says"...the workman with no thought but his wages...."

Paul says"I do not boast of preaching the gospel, since it is duty which has been laid on me; I should be punished if I did not preach it....."

Mk(1:29-39) says" .. Jesus went..house of simon...mother in law..with fever..He went to her...fever left. They brought.. Sick..possessed by devil..cured many..cast out devils...morning...lonely place..prayed...they found Him 'everybody was looking for you' He answered "let us go elsewhere.."

All readings summarize:
(1)To built a relationship/friendship with our heavenly father on daily basis is important in our life
(2)We should work for upliftment of the society without expecting a return. Not to work only for wage
(3)We should extend charity to our society, since all human belongs to one family,and all of them has been created to enjoy Happiness
(4)In order experience happiness, we should develop our mind from peaceful to worry less then happy.
(5) When you enjoy Happiness, you can express the reason of happiness I.e following Jesus message: following 10 commandments, with no enemies/ hand over your worries/sorrows/fears to holy mary, avoid 7 vices(anger,sloth,pride, lust,envy,avarice, gluttony), to your society(missionary work)
reminds if you forget that God has created for you to lead a happy life, you forget to tell about Him. First enjoy happiness, then appreciate who is responsible for your happiness. Then in gratitude tell to others to see wonders. Otherwise you can have temporary enjoyment/happiness without knowing who is responsible for your happiness"

Conclusions:
In this ordinary season, we have beeing informed about our life, happy,behavior and awareness. This is shadow Trinity. Then we were reminded that our behevior is naturally eart bound subject to earth bound desires, influenced by the gravitation. Major desires leading to Fornication has been reminded. Then you were reminded how to form good habits to over come earth bound attractions such as laziness and anger. Praying to establish link between God and you, doing exercise to safeguard God given body is an example. Today it reminds that your responsibility, as part of the God family: charity and missionary work. For that you should be rich with talents and happy in mind. A beggar cannot support another. Unhappy mind cannot show the path to Happiness!

Great full catholic(sunday 8/2/2015) - in summary

Job says"..workman with no thought but his wages.."

Paul says"I do not boast of preaching gospel,since it is duty which has been laid on me;I should be punished if I did not preach it.."

Mk(1:29-39) says" .. Jesus went..house of simon..mother in law..with fever..He went to her..fever left. They brought.. Sick..possessed by devil.. cured many..cast out devils..morning.. lonely place..prayed.."let us go elsewhere.."


All these readings summarises the basic catholic principles that has to be adopted and understood, for our own Happiness in this world too. There are

(1) You cannot decide from which parents come to this world, only God decide

(2)human race is one family,God as Father

(3)serve your society is basic duty for you,without selfish motives(right hand does not know what left hand does) unless you do for the glory of God(your creator, you tend to attract for 7 vices)

(4)You are created by God to lead a happy life. If you are with God, you tend to be happy, you get to know how to overcome physical+menatal disharmonies!

(5)Daily have a dialogue with God-Rosary
In the present world of global villege, distraction are prominent. You should develop of habit of meeting God. Best therapy is reciting the rosary-develop your own personalised method


(6)Your duty is to be a missionary,revealing Gospel.

When you understand and practice catholism, you become happy! Then you will become more happier by showing others"how to be happy with catholism"

Practical achievements:

Human are always attracted to earth giving rise to earth bound desires!. More you lift from the earth, more you are overcoming gravitational force. If you place an object in a lower earth orbit(less than 10000 km) you will see that orbit rotates much faster than earth. But when you put at object in geo stationary orbit it rotates exactly of the same speed as earth and earth will see this object as not moving. This is how we communicate thru' satellite today!. Also if you go further orbit that you will see earth is moving. Same principal applies to the human mind, how to balance the earth bound desires!, for you to enjoy real happiness, as desired by the creation of God!

To achieve above you should develop peaceful(without anger & laziness)+worry-less(handing your' worries to Mary)+happy(avoid 7 vices) MIND.

See how  grateful you to God for your present Happiness?

Cycle 2:season:ordinary Time(1) Sunday No:4 Date 1/2/2015- Clean Catholic - in detail

A. Back ground
Last 3 sundays in ordinary cycle we were reminded
(1)Your life is shadow Trinity
Father- you are been created to lead a happy life
Son- you should lead a good behavior according to 10 commandments, with loving each other
Holy spirit- you should reflect daily, and carry out actions to match the above .
(2) The major sin in our behavior is based on going against your flesh. You should be clear about Fornication!
(3) While you are leading with shadow holy Trinity, you have to be clear how to follow the actual Trinity!
Father- lead a happy mind with converting your talents to energy.
Son- understand daily where you have betrayed the god(going against 10 commandments, 7 vices) correct your self.
Holy spirit: try to acquire  the knowledge daily to understand the God's will for you to lead your life!


Today we are invited to reflect, about our responsibility of knowing Christ,and moving christ action in our daily lives. How to form habits?.
How to be clean? Daily brushing the tooth for eternal reasons!


B. Pre amble to readings

B.1
How do we know the God's will?.

This is a very complex situation to understand,since God is not directly giving instructions to you,after Jesus. Before jesus(resurrection) God has given direct instructions,through prophets,dreams,stars etc,after Jesus resurrections, no such direct instructions except very few instructions from Holy Mary(guardian of human happiness) at various places such as lourdes, Fatima, etc.
To find out God's direction for you, primarily needs to develop awareness with a happy mind. To have happy mind you should first develop Peaceful mind(without anger+ sloth, following 10 commandments), then develop worry less mind(handing over your fear and sorrows to Holy mary/saints) then avoid other 5 vices(pride,lust,envy,avarice and gluttony) to achieve happy mind.
 With awareness, you start developing your talents, then only you can see the God's will come to you mainly from 3rd parties!.

B.2 how to form habits?
When you are interested on a subject you Concentrate(undivided attention) on that. Look at a dog chasing a squirrel!. concentration can be cultivated to a habit. This can be for good or for bad purposes.

Normal habits
You need to eat 3 meals/day, to show eternal reasons to form habits. You need to brush your teeth daily, may be show U the eternal reason to clean your mind daily. Without your knowledge, you can develop earth bound habits such as 7 vices, in your life, unless otherwise you are aware that you are moving with 7 vices in your life,you sleep walk leading unhappy life. Some people sleep walk, with 7 vices until their death, without knowing that they are having the disease, leading unhappy life.

For example when you eat too much(gluttony) without your knowledge you become fat and you become unhealthy!. Be careful and be aware not to allow 7 vices to be developed(grown) in your life. It is similar to weed in your garden.

Good habits
Good habits tend to go against normal gravitation: unless you have developed going against laziness, developing a good habit will become difficult. Good examples are praying,doing exercises, not too much craving to earth bound desires like money,power and sex.

Praying:
 For example,to have a regular time to pray rosary,in a definite place is good. Practice & see benefits derived from this. If you are succeeded in little beginnings U can spread this concentration to other activities such as exercises/walking etc. To form a habit the following is important
(1) Be interested on to a subject
(2) Allocate fix time in a day, with fix location
(3)Have a at least worry free mind, after handing your worries to holy mary/saints
(4)Concentrate only that subject during that time in fix place with relax mind.

B.3 cleanliness:
If you don't brush your teeth daily, leads you to have decayed teeth and cannot enjoy the taste of food properly. May be to show us the eternal reason of cleanliness of your internal life to achieve happiness.
Similar to brushing your teeth, you have to brush your sins every day to achieve clean life leading to happiness. Every mass we start with identifying our Sins and ask pardoning from God. Daily we have to identify where we have gone wrong and have to ask God for pardoning.
To develop awareness as against conditioning is important. Conditioning means you develop 7 vices for your own convenience and assume these are in accordance to christianity. Then you will be lost to identify these actions as sins.

For example: if you are getting angry(silence even), it is harmful for you, for your living society and even for your health!

C. Today's readings: Book of deuteronomy(Dt18:15-20) says...The man who does not listen to my words....shall be held answerable to me...."
Paul(1 cor 7:32-35)" I will like to see you from free all worry..married man has to bother....married woman, on the other hand,has to worry about the world's affairs and devote herself to pleasing the husband....."
Mk 1:21-28 says"....unclean spirit..What do you want with us, jesus Of Nazareth?......"Be quiet, come out of him" reminds that. You may fall into sin, but your determination to come clean, will be done by Jesus

D. Conclusion
Today we are reminded as how to achieve a clean life. As a catholic this is what God wants from you!.Your life is flowing like a river to sea. Flow reminds your life(time) while Sea remind us heaven after death. When river is flowing it creates it's own 2 banks, may be show us the eternal reasons to form good habits of (1)earth bound- controlling 7 vices (2) spiritually,-praying and carrying out physical exercises to maintain your body.
Strong banks will allow good water flow of the river without any leaks in between starting point of the river until it meets the sea. In between leaks reminds the presence of fear and sorrow in your life.
Forming good habits which is going opposite to normal gravitation(laziness) is essential to enjoy your life: allocate a fix time, fix place in every day to pray or to do exercise. While you are praying identify your sins(going against 10 commandments, 7 vices) find methods of corrections asking God to support you, then while praying identify your fear and sorrows. Hand over those to Holy mary and saints to pray happily. Daily reciting individual rosary is the best therapy proposed by Catholicism,
Allocate time to carry out physical exercise, train your self to do stretching exercises or having a walk. Identify such exercises, make it as an daily habit.
Identify daily whether you are being attracted to 7 vices. Develop daily awareness
Catholicism has provided the easy method to enjoy your present life happy, as well as life after death also happy!
