Last sunday we were reminded our mission statement LOVE. Catholism will train you to lead a happy life full of Love.
Today this will be further analysed.
God has created you to lead a happy life during now and after death. These has been reminded again in 1 st and 2 nd readings:
Paul and prophet :Issaias remind out come of your life is to be happy, now and after death.
When we summaries the Gospel reading:
Mt11:25-30"(1)..REVEILING THEM TO CHILDREN(2)..NO ONE KNOWS SON EXCEPT FATHER..(3)COME TO ME..MY YOKE IS EASY.."reminding 3 major character FOLLOWING GOD'S WILL,TRINITY,HAPPY LIFE!.
Sin
When we follow major laws 10 commandments with no enemies and manage our disagreements with other people,we can have a peaceful mind. Then we are capable to love another!.
To understand God loves you, you will see there many in the society loves you, as well as you love them too. Love involves time, money & your heart. Just telling that I love you, will not help if it is not connected to your heart. For the eternal reason God has shown us, how our parents loved us or how our sisters/brothers loved us, when we were child. When we become adult this will change to identify the God's love for you.
Inability to follow God's will is sin, can lead to PURGATORY after your death. If you make traffic offence,it will lead you to pay fine and become free again. May be to show eternal reasons(1)you are prune to sin(2)you can free again.
Purgatory
Purgatory is a concept developed by council of trent. What is purgatory? How long a soul does purgatory last for a soul?only God knows. Old test 2 maccabees 12:43-45 gives some reference. On the first apparition of Fatima, when lucy asked from holy mary, where her friend Amilea? Holy mary answered" She will be in purgatory until the end of the world".
That was in 1917 may 13 at Fatima.
1st and 3 rd apparitions give you more understanding about purgatory and the value of sacrifices(go against earth comforts) which is connected to understand more on today's reflections!.
Our separated brethren, PROTESTANTS do not believe in Purgatory.
Value of purgatory to our weak life!
To live always you need another person support. You respect your parents/friends who supported to make your life happy. Once they depart U still love them by using your God given TIME,SPACE &ENERGY to relieve them from Purgatory.
If you use such time,space,energy(ex alms giving,free teaching etc) without love, you end up in 7 vices,only cheating your self.(7 vices are anger,sloth,pride, envy,avarice,lust,gluttony) And not achieving the purpose of relieving your parents/friends from Purgatory. Instead if you carry out with honest love for them, result in a mirror image of your love to God,your creator!. This will lead us to follow God's Will,to enjoy Happiness in our life even after death too.
