High light

(1)Human will have worries/sorrows and disagreements. Can you find reasonable answer Why you get this? When you cannot find an answer, how to treat these worries?
(2)Most of your worries,you cannot find a reasonable cause or remedial earth bound actions,since you are not avAil of 100% information. When you don't know how to treat these worries, can you develop your vocation, or initiate brave action, to achieve your vocational target to support the society?
(3)To manage your problems, you get the support of earthly friends, why don't you ask president of your country to resolve that?. Similarly Why God showed us, to handle our worries thru' MAry & saints(JN2-Cana)?
(4)Your great grand father may not know who is St JP2 or mother Thresa. But you know Who are they!. Why Holy Spirit make this practical process?. Is it in the Bible?
(5)Why God maintain HIS creation dyAmic With time?. Why HE wanted you to be like a waterfall, Not,like a lake? Why your child should have a different environment thAn yous?
(6)Why your life will become like lake, when you don't know how to empty your mind fom worries and manage your loneliness,by loving others?. Without moving forward, why you are boasting only History?
(7)When you don't know, how to hand over your worries, or you are not avail of 100% future information, why you cannot treat God as king?. Why you suffer, when HE assured your Happiness?

Reflection for 26th november 2017, celebrating 34th Sunday of ordinary season,of cycle 1.

Today we celebrate the feast of Christ The King. This feast has been initiated by pope pius XI in 1925, the idea of king ship goes back to the earliest days of Christianity. It had its origin in the works,the signs, Jesus performed and the authority with which HE proclaimed the kingdom of God.
If Jesus is the lord and the king for a person, HE has a claim on the person to listen to his word and respond to them: listen and respond, not with pious thoughts but with deeds. our happiness in this world and the next depends on our response. When you follow 7 ethics+church rules you respond Christ lordship over us.

Next sunday, we begin a new cycle ie cycle no 2, with advent season. Today church invite us to analyze(1)how to enjoy God's guaranteed happiness in your life(2) how you have been created with body and soul and function of each(3)how to make your soul empty or free of worries to allow God's Will into your mind and how to lead life without loneliness?(4)Why you say “Worry is the interest paid in advance on a debt you may never own”,when you accept Christ As King in your life(5)How to avoid lnelness in your life

Let us consider 1st whAt is reality of life.
You cannot decide from which parent that you can come to this world. Simple practical answer is God decided. Then your parents has brought you from babyhood to childhood. In childhood, you just followed what you parents ask you to do. You depend on them. When you leave childhood to adult hood, you start realizing your interdependence with society. You get to know that you are interdependent for you living with society. When you Are depend on society for your living, you have to love the society. Though you are dependent to society, for your living, you realize that you live to enjoy this life or to be happy in this life. Major impediment to enjoy your life are worries in your life. How to treat worries? The problem become more complicated, since you are not avail of 100 information about the reason for your worry, neither you don't know 100% out come of your actions. Under this scenario, you have to be clear that God knows every thing,HE has guaranteed your happiness. you have option to lead your life, according to what HE said, then you realize “Worry is the interest paid in advance on a debt you may never own” if you opt to follow God as your king.

worry and loneliness are 2 sides of your living coin!. On one side you have worries and on other side you have loneliness. Marriege is not the solution to avoid loneliness. Whether you opt to marry or not, these 2 become independent to marriage! And highly depend on to your living society. Sometimes, if both partners in a marriege, don't realize the importance of managing these 2 aspects, they might easily attracted these 2 problems, more than single person living.
The easiest way to manage these 2 problems are given in catholicism.

(1)Treat God as the king of your life.
(2) Follow 7 ethics +church rules, since this summaries what God ask you to do. And church is fully facilitating this
(3)Hand over your worries to mary+saints
(4)Convert your talents to energy, identify action which lead to wisdom of your life.
(5)ALWAYS REMAIN SIGLE MINDED IN PURSUING YOUR AIM,IF YOU KNOW IT IS THE GOD'S PLAN. EX: mother Thresa
(6) Then you will be able to love the society.
What is loneliness?
Loneliness is a state being alone and feel sad about it. You don't have a opposite word for loneliness. You may think companionship or fellowship. You came to this lie alone with support of your parents. In childhood, you fully depend on parents, you don't feel lonely. But when you became adult, you become independent the dependency with parents were loosen. But without your knowledge you became interdependent.
What is the characteristics of interdependent society?

In the interdependent society, you are always power less!. You become powerful, when another person listen to you only. Only God is powerful. If you have a cancer in your stomach, you cannot remove by your self. You need the support of a surgeon for that. You are powerless. Once he removed your cancer, you regain happiness again. In this complex society, we need the assistance of a Divine Doctor, much more than earlier generations.

Today's reading:
Prophet Ezekiel( Ezk34:11-12.15-17) says God guaranteed be a true shepard for you.
Paul says to corinthians(1 cor 15:20-26.28)" HE Will hand over kingdom to God the FAther, so that God may be all in all.
Gospel MT(25:31-46) says" He Will take High seat on HIS throne of glory and HE Will separate one from another.

. what pope Francis says about love
Pope francis in his encyclical"the joy of the gospel" says(chapter 272) quote:
" Loving others is a spiritual force drawing us to the union with God. Indeed one does not love others"walks in the darkness"(1 Jn 2:11)," remains in death"(1 jn 3:14) and "does not know God" (1 jn 4:8). Benadict XVI has said that" closing our eyes to neighbor also blinds us to God", and that love is, in the end, the only light which can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working". When we live out a spirituality of drawing near to others and seeking their welfare, our hearts are opened wide to the Lord's greatest and most beautiful gifts. Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God. Whenever our eyes are opened to acknowledge the other, we grow in the light of faith and knowledge of God. If we want to advance in the spiritual life, then, we must constantly be missionaries. The work of evangerlisation enriches the mind and the heart; it opens up spiritual horizons; it makes us more and more sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit, and it takes us beyond our limited spiritual constructs. A committed missionary knows the joy of being a spring which spills over and refreshes others. Only the person who feels happiness in seeking the good of others, in desiring their happiness, can be a missionary. This openness of the heart is the source of joy, since" it is more blessed to give than to receive"(acts 20:35). We do not live better when we flee,hide,refuse to share, stop giving and lock ourselves up in our own comports. Such a life is nothing than slow suicide.

In conclusion:
Today, world has shrienked to a global villege. With a matter of second you can contact a person, who lives in any corner of this globe. Thru' social media systems available such as face book, all cultures in the world are known to each other. Hence your inter dependency has become more wider, making you to have more knowledge of your neighbor. Disagreements among people are ever growing in a dynamic society. Whether my view is correct with respect to you, the difference of opinions are ever growing, making your life much more complex than previous generations!. You need the treatment given by catholicism much more now, in treating disagreements under the present scenario!.
Finally

God's will: how can you accept God as true shepard:
Catholicism clearly shows the following concepts which are essential truth
(1) God created you to live happily. God has a plan for every person
(2)Every person in this world is different both mental + physical to each other
(3)You cannot live alone in this world. You are always interdependent. Hence you should love each other. You should have both earthly + spiritual friends to be developed.
(3)Fear, sorrow and disagreements will arise while you are moving in the society. How to treat these problems by catholicism is the main difference with other religions(even other christian denominations).
(A) hand over your fear and sorrow to your favorite saint and live happily. Lighting candles, petitioning are few rituals catholics are following
(B) always carry your actions happily. If you are doing same with dis agreements, always hand over such to Jesus, where in Gethsemane, he suffered mentally and at the cross, he suffered physically. Under such cases, you request Him to allow you the courage to carry out the action if it is God's will and if the other person is at fault, even you carry out the action, requesting Jesus to correct him, since we are not aware of all the possible outcome of a action.
(5) Always lead a peaceful+ worry less+ happy mind. Then convert your talents to energy, to serve society, for the Glory of God.
You have option to enjoy your life, but treating God as king, and doing actions as HE wants. Be clear whether it I God request or your own.
Enjoy your life, with the kingship of Christ!

Thank you!
God bless you!

Reflection for 19th november 2017, celebrating 33rd Sunday of ordinary season,of cycle 1. Today church invite us to analyze (1)How to become proactive person(2)Proactive means in anticipation of future, you take action now but when you don't know about your future 100%,how to take action now(3)how to become an energy source to the living society(4) world I full of energy, the relevance of energy to your life?(5)when your life not become an energy source, why you think,life is sorrow?

type of people:
There are 3 types of people in this World.
(1)Inactive
(2) Reactive
(3)Proactive

Inactive people always lives With fear. They are nor brave enough to take actions to develop this society. They always feel lazy fo actions.
Reactive people, always take action to manage a problem. They are also not brave enough to take actions on a permanent basis
Proactive people take continuous action in anticipation of future. When you trust that God knows every action of yours, and when you follow HIS Will,you are guaranteed of leading a happy life, you tend to take brave actions.

Everybody in this world is searching for happiness. In order to realize happiness in this life, you need to understand the basic facts of life. First we will concentrate on the following story, which occurred in 1950's in the city of New york.
Three friends booked 3 rooms in a hotel, and they were given 3 rooms in the 45 th floor. They went outside for a party and came in mid night.
The receptionist in the hotel told' sorry sirs, our lift is not working, I can arrange 3 beds in the ground floor'
The 3 friends who has enjoyed good wine, boasted, o..h don't worry, we can climb up to our rooms
The 3 friends agreed, first 15 floors, one will sing songs, next 15 floors another will tell happy stories, the other will tell sad stories, during the last 15 floors.
As agreed all 3 friends climb upto 30 floors. The other 2 tell the last to tell the sad stories. After a hesitation the last man is telling ' oh we forget the room keys'
In this story we are reminded the main areas or eras of our life
Young & youth life
Middle life
Old age life
If we forget the keys we have to climb down, which we start fearing as to how to go back and climb again.
So what is the meaning of the key?
In order to understand the keys of your life, we will listen to another story
Some people believe the lord Sakraya has created the world with all living beings. When he was creating the all living beings he set the life span as 40 years. But the human protested, saying that it is too short, for him to achieve many things.
The bull protested, that 40 years life span for him is too long, to be a servant and do all slavery work for such a long time, so the God reduce the Bull's life span to 20 years, and add for human another 20 years. Now the life span of human has become 60 years.
Next came the dog, he too complain that his life span is too long, only to bark and always serving the human, and wanted the God to reduce the life span. The God listen and reduce the life span of dog to 20 years and add 20 years to human. Now the life span of human has become 80 years.
The next came the Bat. He too complain the same story of too long life span, telling that he has nothing to do much, just sleepig and wanted to reduce the life span. The God listen and reduce the Bat's life span to 20 years, and increase the life span of human to 100 years.
Today we see that up to 40 years human enjoy the life, and next 20 years, he works like the bull, building houses, caring their children for additional tuition classes etc.
The next 20 years human is barking about the society and find faults with the systems, similar to the Dog.
The next 20 years from the age 80 to 100 years the human is like the Bat, answering only the few questions and mostly sleeping.
When you compare these 2 stories, the last story is true for the humans who are not carrying their keys, during their life.
Then what is the meaning of the key?
The key will be the happiness or wisdom of life.
Catholicism will tell you the simplest path
as how to lead a happy life.

For that:
(1)Establish a peaceful mind, by following 7 ethics (follow 10 commandments,avoid 7 vices, administer 7 sacraments, carry out 7 each, corporal+spritual mercy's, practice pardoning and love,) then follow church rules
(2)Then identify what God wants you to do in your life. Hand over your worries to mary and saints. Then you actions become brave
With a worry less mind.
(3)Your brave actions in anticipation o present and future, you convert to energy for the love of society, by following 3 actions
(A)always try to use latest technologies, since God is making this world more efficient every day
(B)when the world is becoming more efficient, you need to do physical exercises to maintain your body. Our ancestors may not consider exercise is important, but now it has become essential. This leads to drink water too. Always maintain a healthy mnd And body.
(C) you actions has to be for the love of God and socety, without expecting much retun. Always trust God, will make available you necessary support for you to lead a happy life.

Today's reading:
Proverb (Pr 31:10-13.19-20.30-31)"A perfect wife-who can find her"
Paul says to Thessalonians(1 Th 5:1-6)". Let not the day of the Lord overtake you like a thief"
Mathew(25:14-30) says"you have been fAithful to small things; come and join in your master's Happiness"

Jesus' message is clear. No to conservatism, yes to creativity. No to a sterile life, yes to the active response to God. No to the obsession for security, yes to the effort that dares to transform the world. No to a faith buried under conform ism, yes to work committed to opening up paths to God's Reign.

The great sin of Jesus' followers would always be not daring to follow him in a creative way. It's significant to observe the language that has been used among Christians over the years, in order to see what we have often focused our attention on: preserving the deposit of faith, preserving our tradition, preserving our good habits, preserving grace, preserving our vocation...

This temptation of conservatism is stronger in times of religious crisis. It's easy in such times to invoke the need to control orthodoxy, to strengthen discipline and norms, to keep people in the Church... All this can be justified, but isn't it all too frequently a way of weakening the Gospel and freezing the creativity of the life.

God changes the paradigm of people by allowing technological advancements. This is to make every generation of HIS creation, with more efficient life. So all new life, the paradigm is always new. But one thing is constant, Happiness you enjoy in your life. Whether your grand grand fathers happiness to your happiness today is same, despite the paradigm change.

So finally, today church invite us to lead a happy life, in line with the present technological advancements, while maintaining the 7 ethics+church rules. Church rules are holy spirit works to tell you as how to manage the paradigm change.

For that you have to be visionary, understand your future, then take action now. Always convert your talennts to energy, under the direction of God!.

Finally: when we analyze you Will see:
Universe is big ball of energy-Light (electromagnetic),Sound(acoustic),Heat (thermal),Pressure(mechanical).U experience these thru'eyes,ear,nose& skin.U can become an energy source to others by converting Ur talents/skills with gd attitudes,by INTENSIVE PRACTICE. It is a misconception that talents are inherited,like brown hair/blue eyes. Hence you presume sign of talent is early instant,effortless success.It is misleading to presume that talents could be achieved instantly& effortlessly. EARLY SUCCESS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN LONG TERM SUCCESS. Talent is not a gift by birth(genes)but rather determined BY A PERSON?S ACTIONS.It is a combination of intensive practice &motivation that produce brain growth"Muscle memory" does not really exist,since they simply do what brain instructs them to do.With Ur converted Energy,follow God's will in Ur life to be Happy..Today Jesus asking you 'ARE U GOOD FOR NOTHING"

Thank you!
