Back ground:
Up to now, sunday by sunday, we were reminded of developing your life river(Soul) with strong banks(avoid anger,avoid laziness,avoid other 5 vices Pride(boasting, love of publicity)/Avarice(greedy,dishonesty)/Envy(why shouldn't I have with everything that others have)/Lust(disoriented love for personal pleasure)/ Gluttony(the disorderly animal appetite, obsession with food & drink to the point of living to eat, rather than eating to live/ start the flow with higher elevation(with converting your talents to energy), following God's will, with looking after your neighbor to reach Happiness in both worlds!.
Last sunday we were reminded, about the original Sin and it's effects!- death,sorrow and fear into our lives and How God in His own wisdom send His only Beloved Son, to this world through Holy Mary, to reinstate the intended Happiness into our Lives!. In this context Jesus life has to be analyzed very carefully!, since He is part of TRINITY!
(1)When we analyze Mt(11:27)quote"MY FATHER HAS GIVEN ME ALL THINGS. NO ONE KNOWS THE SON EXCEPT THE FATHER.AND NO ONE KNOWS THE FATHER EXCEPT THE SON AND THOSE TO WHOM THE SON CHOOSES TO REVEAL HIM"
, it is clear that Jesus is part of Trinity.
(2) And it address to whole humanity to follow the easy path!
Quote Mt11: 28-30;
"COME TO ME, ALL OF YOU WHO ARE TIRED FROM CARRYING HEAVY LOADS, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE AND PUT IT ON YOU, AND LEARN FROM ME, BECAUSE I AM GENTLE AND HUMBLE IN SPIRITN AND YOU WILL FIND REST. FOR THE YOKE I WILL GIVE YOU IS EASY, AND THE LOAD I WILL PUT ON YOU IS LIGHT"
(3)What is this easy path?
Mt 13:53-58 talk about. HOW THE JESUS IS REJECTED AT NAZARETH why people were worried about His pedigree than His words and actions!. Even today this is happening!
We are worried about Jesus as a person, forgetting the intended messages from His teaching and actions, that God is showing to us, in His own wisdom, for us to follow a happy life!
TO FOLLOW JESUS(TRINITY) WORDS AND ACTIONS!
(4) Action of 1st Miracle, clearly shows that Mary has been assigned to look after human's Happiness. We have to always intercede with Mary for our Happiness from God.(Despite jesus was there Mary sees the wine is depleting)
(5) Action at the cross, God in His wisdom clearly shows us that Mary has been assigned to look after human.
THERE IS NO CHRISTIANITY WITOUT MARY/ JOSEPH AND SAINTS!
Today, we are reminded, the elementary purpose of Creation of Human. Ie
(1) Whether you live 0 hrs/1yr/100 years,(in this world) compared to infinite time of eternal life, it is negligible
(2) Whether you are Normal/deformed, God created you to enjoy your life time HAPPILY!.
(In this world and outside eternal world)

Preamble for today's reading:
Earth bound Happiness:
With our birth, we start
(1) breathing-develop our health- with death diminishes
(2) Walking on ground- subject to gravitation- developing earth bound Short lived Happiness of acquiring Money, Power and worldly desires- with death diminishes
(3) Developing our mind- to get more knowledge on science, earth etc, to convert our talents to energy; and by doing that we develop our ability to Choose. We develop our soul- carry after death
Whole of our exercise to convert this earth bound happiness, to be independent to this worldly life. Ie HOW TO BE HAPPY IN THIS WORLD AND NEXT.
When you are really happy, you feel like a bird. In order to get that happiness, and to make that eternal, you should trained to have a peaceful mind throughout your life time. Main vices you need to control is (1) developing anger(2) developing laziness
Then you should be free from fear and sorrows. This is where Catholicism gives you an easy path!
C. Today's reading:
Mt20:1-16 says"I CHOSE TO PAY LAST COMMER AS MUCH I PAY FOR YOU" reminds that Time is given us to be happy. Always try to forget past & live present!. You may live5/25/75or100 yrs,important thing is not the duration you live(since when you compare even100yrs with Eternal life,it is negligible)but whether you spend time happily!(Irrespective whether you are NORMAL or DEFORMED).
It is not achievement of worldly affairs such as Money,power &desires/where you leave all these things at your death.
Prophet Issaiah, reminds importance of following Jesus(word),to yield good grapes!.
Paul reminds importance of having PEACEFUL MIND,to reach Happiness!.
The following actions may go against to reach your happiness in this world!
(1)Sticking more to worldly affairs,
(2)not following 10 commandments,
(3)with Anger and laziness to develop in your mind - resulting hot mind
(4)not knowing how to treat FEAR& SORROWS from Catholicism,
(5)not following God's will,
make your life time to be spent under frustration!,which will influence badly for your immediate society too.
D.
Conclusions:
Every living human being in this world want to be happy. They want to spent time with happiness. When they lost happiness, they will start committing suicide or leave unhealthy life!. Happiness does not ONLY relate to achieving earth bound needs such as Money, power and worldly desires. It is a life long exercise of keeping a peaceful mind with avoiding or resolving fear and sorrow in your life. This sunday it gives clear message of God wages for our life and His intention of creations!
Have a Peaceful mind!, forget the past! Enjoy present!
