Specially (a)on whose decision you came to this world (b)Why do you live what is the purpose(c)how to achieve your purpose,having understood that outcome of any of your action you don't know 100% outcome.
Then How God has reveaaled to you: when you forget that awareness what will happen to you!
When reflecting todays readings, you might wonder
Why Jesus went away from shore to shallow waters to preach? For us also,we have to go away from people or normal life,just to reflect about our life!. When you reflect about your life the following 3 questions will come to your mind.
WHO decided for you to come to this world? Who decided your parents?
Only answer is God!
2nd question is what is the purpose of living?
You cannot live without air, you don't know what is happening inside your skin,even in your own body. you don't know 100% outcome of your action. Then naturally life become sorrow, if you don't know that God has guaranteed your happiness, provided if you follow HIS WILL in your life.

How the seasons are formed?
With Gregorian Calendar
Sunday reading cycle and normal Gregorian
Calendar does not match!. Normal calendar starts in Jan 1st, while Catholic cycle starts with Advent, which is normally starts, in the previous year lent:
Next sliding effect is deciding the ash Wednesday:
CHRISTMAS is always25Dec but Easter varies?Because Jesus's passion was just after passover ceremony of Jews, where it coincides with Christianity!

How to decide ash Wednesday?
For example take year 2019 Ash Wednesday
Gregorian calendar is based on Earth, rotating around SUN(12 months,with 365days/ yr).If yr is divisive by4(but not by400)it results in a leap yr(366 days).Equinox is when sun shines directly on Earth's equator(no shadow).This occurs twice/yr; Vernol(Mar)&Autumnal (Sept).Easter is selected as 1st Sunday,following Full Moon(19/4/2019)after vernal equinox(21/3).ASH WEDNESDAY(6/3/ 2019)is 46days(40 days lent+last 6 days for pass over) before Easter Sunday (21/4).
Points to note:
(1) Always advent ends from Christmas day(25th december)
(2) Always Christmas season ends on jan 6th(feast of Epiphany).
(3)Ordinary part 1 ends on ash Wednesday, and start lent
(4) Lent always end on easter sunday
(5)Easter will start from easter sunday, until ascension sunday
(6) Ordinary part 2 starts from ascension day and end up on our lord Jesus Christ, King of the universe feast.
(7) After this our lord Jesus Christ, King of the universe feast, next cycle advent starts.

Format of sunday readings:
There are 4 major points to be analyzed.
(1) Alleluia version gives the title or underline message of Jesus. The 3 readings will provide you the relevance this title to Jesus, Church & before Jesus era(old testament era)
(2)Gospel reading gives you, the current message relevant to lead your current life!
(3)The 2nd reading tells us how the christianity was implemented at the introduction of Jesus message to people or how the church started!
(4) The 1st reading gives you the message adopted by people before christianity. Hence it may not give the same meaning as the gospel!. We should identify the clear difference between old testament to new!.

Today's reading:
Isaias (IS 6:1-8)
Says"Here I am send me!”
Paul says(1 COR 15:1-11)".. gospel.. I preached what they preach,and this is what you all believed"
Gospel LK 5:1-11 says"they left everything else and followed HIM"
Reminds:
(1)Jesus preached from peter's boat,after went deep sea,lower net to catch many fish-incident make peter aware about Jesus as God
(2)In Ur life too,what are the occasions U face in knowing God
(3)unlike peter did U forget that awareness?
(4)why Jesus preached in shallow sea not at shore with other people?is it to make HIS voice heard by all(day time wind blows from sea to shore)& see HIM separately
(5)why U hv to go to deep sea to catch fish:Every sunday reading are U opportune for that?
(6)If Jesus has got into Ur boat,how U going to catch fish?without going to deep waters?
(7)if U want to imitate Jesus where U preach?Is it Ur duty as a catholic?are U feel shy or lazy?is it only duty of priest?what U try to keep?money/power/desires.U?

Means a state being conscious for something/knowledge/perception
Finally Lk 19:41-44 talks about how Jesus wept about city of Jerusalem: indicating how HE is worried about us!. HE executed awful vengeance upon it, indicating when you forget awareness about God,you have to face the consequences."They will level you to the ground,and our children within you,and they will not leave in you one stone upon another,BECUSE YOU DID NOT RECOGNISE THE TIME OF VISITATION(time of God graces offers mercy to you!.
