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!

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!
