WHAT IS THERE IN MY LIFE THAT POSSES ME MORE THAN JESUS? WHAT DO I FIND IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE UP?
NOT ONLY WEALTH,LAND,BUILDING ETC BUT WIDER MEANING LIKE FOOD, ALCOHOL,TOBOCCO,PREJUDICES, ETC.
Take st paul,he gave up his entire past, including his hatred to christianity, in order to follow christ.
Today's reading:
Book of wisdom says(Ws7:7-11) ".. prayed..understanding..given..
Hebrew says(Heb 4:12-13) says"..word of God..alive..active..double edge sword..it can slip..joints from marrow..can judge emtions..thoughts..no created..hide.. every thing uncovered.."
Mark says(Mk 10:17-30)"Jesus..what..I do..eternal life?"..you know.. commandments..I kept..one thing lack..sell everything..give..poor..his face fell..went.. sad..how hard..riches.. enter..easer for a camel..eye of a needle..who..saved..men.. impossible..for God..possible..peter..us?.. jesus..left..my sake..will..repaid..100 times over..present..eternal.."
Reminds: no name for the young person implies-all of us and he is the only one in the Gospel who refuses to follow,yet Jesus loved him. We can follow HIM at a distance alright, but close-up is something else

Conditioning your self, too much, will be difficult for you to change!
Think about actions/comforts, that you cannot change? Identify, whether it is contravene to the commandments given by Trinity
Father- 10 Commandments:
Son-Pardoned others+ love your neighbour
Holy spirit- you should not form cast/ no artificial birth control/no abortion/no euthanasia/No divorce/...other sacraments+church rules.
Withdraw actions which contravene, then you are sure God's will come to you!.

Example set by St Francis Assisi and Pope Francis
St Francis Assisi's and pope Francis example:
St Francis, easily changed to sell all his wealth, to support poor, after understanding the meaning of life.
Francis was son of wealthy cloth merchant of Assisi/Italy.At the age of 20yrs,he was sick& Changed his life,starting with charity among poor. He said"HE WHO SERVES POOR,SERVES CHRIST HIMSELF"One day he heard GOD "REPAIR MY HOUSE WHICH IS FALLING IN TO RUIN" Francis gladly surrendered his possessions & lived like a hermit!He pioneered Franciscans order

Conclusions: when God,personal call comes to us in the circumstances of our daily lives, may we have the vision and generosity to respond?.
Great worth of wisdom, which is insight into life's meaning, is knowing how to live.
God's word is living;it penetrates in to the core of our being and lays bare our inner most thoughts.
Salvation lies in observing the commandments, but Jesus says that to be perfect one must be prepared to give up one's most precious procession and follow Him.
GOD WILL IN FAMILY AND IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE!
Last sunday we reflected how to follow God's will, in a family environment. It allowed us to think more how to treat, disagreements deriving in a family. After you follow god's commandments, when disagreements still persist, you act as a floating element. This will allow you to understand God's Will,at subsequent stage(there is no other way that God can influence your decision otherwise)
Today it allows us to reflect, how to implement God's will personal to you.
Assume that you are following commandments given by father(10 commandments),Son pardoning +love, Holy spirit- church rules, and doing well, as a good catholic. How to find God's Will for you.
Today it will be analyses further! How to be an adaptable catholic?
