mountain
top.In summary, to have a healthy life river the following major points to be considered
(1) In order to have a PEACEFUL MIND, you should clearly control ANGER/ follow 10 commandments(SPIRITUAL BANK)
(2) In order to have healthy body, be not LAZY/carry out proper exercises with drinking plenty of water(HEALTH BANK)
(3) Convert your talents to energy(every time you develop your talents without wasting a single minute)- making the WATER FLOW faster
(4)With miraculous medal, round the neck and reciting daily individual rosary, you can invite Holy Mary to your life. Holy Mary will clear your anticipated blocks yet to come (FEAR+SORROWS),even without your knowledge. Because she will intercede with God on behalf of you!.
(5)Make spiritual friends, by studying the life of your spiritual friends- SAINTS, similar you develop earthly friends. You can clear any blocks(FEAR+SORROWS) that has come to you (may be deriving from your friends) by intercession thru' them to God.

B. Preamble for to days reading:
B.1 DISAGREEMENTS:
Disagreements are ever present in our life. When you are living in a particular country, your external freedom is subject to the law of that country. When your are a catholic, your internal freedom is subject to 10 commandments with no enemies. Your personal freedom is lying in between these 2 freedoms of EXTERNAL & INTERNAL.
It is in this PERSONAL FREEDOM you will encounter many disagreements, while you are leading a family or community and social life!.
B.2 Social life:
No single person in this world cannot live alone. He has to live in a society. You need a another person's support for you to live!. Similarly you are subject to many disagreements from your friends, mainly due to your personal conditioning!.
Culture and your personal conditioning will mainly influence your personal freedom. When there are challenges to customs(rituals) you have been already programmed, you get disagreement, causing ANGER to cause in you!. In order for you to enjoy your life identify clearly your addictions(conditioning) coming from you and culture. Try to drop them if it is intervening to your internal freedom!.
(Ex: worshiping parents- certain countries catholic worshiped parents and respect HOLY EUCHARIST)
B.3 Get together: Catholics are well known for get together. SUNDAY MASS IS OBLIGATORY FOR THEM. They identify the value of HAPPINESS deriving from them. This will give rise to train people for CHARITY!.
CHARITY is a short word but with its tremendous meaning of pure LOVE, it sums up humans entire relation to GOD and to his neighbors, as God reminds us that it is on charity that all the law and the prophets depends.
C. Todays reading
C.1 Paul says LOVE is answer for everything.
C.2
Ezekiel talks about renouncing Jesus correctly!.
C.3 CELEBRATIONS:
Jesus love celebrations. His 1st miracle was to turn water into wine(not vinegar!).He was constantly invited to dinner at Nicodemus and peter, etc. Night before He was arrested, He gathered His staff to sing songs & dine. When crowds came He was adamant that nobody leave with empty stomach. He turned one boys lunch for 1000's. He told story's of a king
who
arranged banquets & then got angry,when nobody came. He spoke of a father throwing a lavish party to celebrate wayward son's return!. When Jesus returned He prepared a fish barbecue on the shore(team picnic).HE CAME FROM A HAPPY PLACE & HE KNEW HE WAS RETURNING TO A VERY HAPPY PLACE.
Mt18:15-20 ends"..where 2or3 meet in my name,I shall be there with them".perhaps He saw a party coming ON!.Indeed His invitations read"I go to prepare a place for you".
LEARNING TO LOVE & FORGIVING(to manage disagreements)ARE BASIC NEEDS TO ORGERNISE AN EFFECTIVE PARTY!.
Disagreement mainly stemming from Personal freedom. He is not correct/He should not have done that. Disagreements are ever present in our life either at home or office!. How to treat these disagreements from Catholicism?
(1) You agree to other, by handing over your disagreement to Holy Mary. Carry out action happily! You will see, your disagreement start dis solving!
(2) When your disagreement need action pertaining to your personal freedom, handover to JESUS AT THE CROSS, do it happily(if the action lies with your personal freedom only). Remembering Jesus word "If anybody asked you to carry 1 miles, carry 2 miles". Similarly you will see the disagreement settled.
WHEN YOU MANAGE DISAGREEMENTS YOU WILL HAVE A PEACEFUL MIND!. DON'T LIVE WITH DISAGREEMENTS TO ACCUMULATE IN YOUR MIND!, THIS WILL MAKE YOUR BLOOD BECOMING HOT, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH TOO, WILL GO DOWN!
D. Conclusions:
Today we were reminded, of the advance thinking of managing disagreements, this will effect our spiritual bank, since it create silence anger in our body!.
ANGER WILL BLOCK GOD WILL TO BE FOLLOWED BY YOU!
Similarly, it focused the value of get together to reach happiness in our life, causing our water flow to gain further high speed!
Catholism will teach you not only to enjoy life after death but this life too!.
LIFE IS FULL OF OPPOURTUNITIES, DON'T MISS ANY OF THEM!
When is Your next Party?
