Cycle 3:season: Ordinary Sunday No:13 Date: 26/6/2016- Committed Catholic


TODAY 26th june 2016 we are in Cycle 3: celebrating 13th Ordinary Sunday mass.

A. Back Ground

When we summarize reflections of all these 13 sundays: we will see, to become a catholic professional, mainly involve 3 actions:
A.1 Major points to be considered to become a PROFESSIONAL

(1)what knowledge you should be interested
(2) how to lead your life according to that knowledge
(3)by implementing your knowledge what result you can obtain for your life.

This is true for any profession: for example, if you are a medical doctor, you are interested about, how human body function, then you study that subject to benefit to you as well as society. By doing that you will be happy, as well as society will be happy.

A.2 how to become a Catholic Professional?

 There are many professions in the world, but common profession is every human will like to know about his own life, how to be happy with time. That is why, catholic profession is important for you.

So in summary:
(1) To become any professional, you should develop your knowledge focusing on that subject: similarly, as a catholic professional, you should know how you have been created, what is the purpose of creation, in order to achieve the purpose of creation, how you should lead your life.
(2) There are many religions in the world,they all tell LOVE,NOT TO SIN, and  PROCESS TO FOLLOW TO ERSE THE BAD EFFECTS OF SIN.  But you should be clear how Catholicism differentiate with other religions. 5 major points:
Only one birth/sin is going against 10 commandments and avoid 7 vices/effect of your sins,can be treated by Repentance, confession with a priest and carrying out by indulgence activities. You should lead a happy life by having peaceful mind(after repentance, confession and receiving Eucharist) then have a worry less mind(after handing over your worries to Mary/saints), then you can develop happy mind, after having good health and carrying out your actions with latest technology(efficiently). With happy mind convert your talents to energy. How to convert, first convert your talents to skills,then develop KNOWLEDGE, then by hard work develop good attitude. Finally, for the love of God, you apply to society.

At the end, you will see, catholic professional, will enjoy life, disseminating message of God, applying to his life, as well as be an interface with society, to impart that knowledge or happiness to them.

In addition good professional should carry out obligation to his parents by looking after them.

A.3 The points that you, should consider, when you move in life?

No body can control the climate of the world, except God. Today it might rain and tomorrow it might be sunny. Only God controls. Similarly, during your professional life, you have to control your life. No body else will be responsible for that. Hence your life always moves with temp death by sin, again regaining temp birth with grace, with Pardoning process. We analyze the importance of repentance for sin in more detail. You will see, when there is no confession, your repentance normally become mechanical, and you tend to undermine sin. In every confession, you tend to verify your life, whether you are correctly following the teaching of Jesus, without un bias way.

A.4
What is cross?

Then we analyze, What is cross, cross is suffering. This can be due to your bad experience, of your life due to your own health,loss of expected outcome in your life or problems coming outside to you, which is affecting you badly. This can be from your family members or friends or from the society. How to manage cross?. Is the major teaching of Catholicism. Last sunday we found, Jesus is inviting us to carry our cross or manage our cross to follow HIM.

B. Pre amble for to days readings:

B.1 Today, church invite us to reflect

(1)when you become good catholic professional, how pride baloones in your life,retarding your happiness

(2) how to manage your life,balancing spirituality with earth bound cravings such as money power and desires.

So today readings, invite you to analyze,practical problems, you might encounter, when you are moving as a good catholic professional, such as Pride or 7 vices. Try to study about 7 vices(ie sloth, anger, pride, lust, avarice, envy and gluttony. Avoiding these 7 vices fully can only be done when you understand Catholicism or when you know God's theory and your actions are for the love of God.


C. Today's Reading:
Book of Kings says Elijah anoints Elisha as his successor

Paul says Christ called us to live in freedom.Hence love another.


Lk 9:51-62 says Jesus in vain invites others to follow HIM.Yet disciples wanted to call fire from heaven

D. Reminds:

1)A professional Catholic has to manage;

a)Earth bound cravings such as Power,Money&Desires(Jesus ask3people)&
b)your own ego(disciples ask fire);

2)Not knowing how to manage above(a&b),tend to increase Crosses(disagreements&sorrows)in your life;

3)Next to sloth&anger,Pride becomes important to avoid in 7vices,for you to follow God's Will;

4)When God is with you,you may develop pride without your knowledge&you may act like God-judging &deciding punishment for others sin,where it should be an act of God;

5)In order to be happy;
a)Follow7 Ethics. Manage your earth bound cravings;
b)Avoid7vices to show you are not God;
c)Respect other's freedom,where you cannot judge what they think or do!

E. Conclusion:
2 major reflections, arising from today's reading: without good knowledge about Catholicism, you cannot just explain and convince others who is God!.
Other factor is when you are moving with other catholic professional, without your knowledge Pride bloomed around you!

When you analyze Pride in little more, you will see: It is Great an admiration of oneself and has7evil consequences:
boasting,
 love for publicity,
hypocrisy,
hard head ness,
discord,quarreling and
disobedience

leads to your own EGOISM.



Up to now we know, alone with pride, you should avoid laziness and anger:

Let us analyse, other important 7 vices, that you should be careful in your life;

They are

AVARICE: your greediness,leading to fraud,perjury,dishonesty,perfidy&harshness,with others

#LUST: Dis orientated love that seeks not other but personal individualistic pleasure& satisfaction in all you do. Desire for pleasure is good thing in life. Life would be sapless without it. What is dangerous is inordinate craving for it. Jesus advocate a simple life & conscious of dangers of riches& money

#ENVY: demanding,"WHY SHOULD NOT I HAVE EVERY THING THAT OTHERS HAVE?" Which leads to JEALOUSY

#Gluttony:this follows from disorderly animal appetite, obsession with food and drink to point of LIVING TO EAT,RATHER THAN EATING TO LIVE.

So finally to days readings invite us;
To be a good catholic professional and serve the society, when you are doing that be careful your own Egotism!

You cannot master all subjects in the world. Even to treat medically, for human body, how many specialists are there? Similarly, you need to focus or interested to study of your favourite subject, devote time, further the knowledge of that subject



WHY WE SAY CATHOLIC RELIGION IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND?

When you want to know a religion, it is also same like normal other professions, but it differs, that all human wants to know, how to be happy throughout their life.
Catholic religion mainly base on Gospel, where Jesus, has shown how to manage our spiritual + physical life, to manage our crosses(means differences we experience, opposing to our will). The 4 gospels are easy to read and need only few hours go thru'. But to understand and practicing the theories given, you need your life life with spiritual help from God.

WHAT IS THE MAIN VIRUS, A CATHOLIC PROFESSIONAL WILL ATTRACT?
Your life is like a water fall. Every time it is changing. Unless you are vigilant to discipline your life, you might fall to the hands of satan. When you become a good catholic professional, you might be enjoying your life. When you enjoy your life, sometimes you forget God. Main virus, you might attract is pride.



When you analyse Pride in little more, you will see:It is Great an admiration of oneself and has7evil consequences:
boasting,
 love for publicity,
hyprocrisy,
hard head ness,
discord,quarreling and
disobedience

leads to your own EGOISM.

Cycle 3:season: Ordinary Sunday No:12 Date: 19/6/2016- Verified Catholic


A. Back ground:
TODAY 19th june 2016 we are in Cycle 3: celebrating 12th Ordinary Sunday mass.

A.1 Concept defining features
When we analyze, summary of reflections of all these 12 sundays: we found 4 feast sundays,devoted to analyze concept defining features of Catholism. All religions in the world are good, since they all tell LOVE,NOT TO SIN, and  PROCESS TO FOLLOW TO ERSE THE BAD EFFECTS OF SIN.  But we should be clear how Catholicism differentiate with other religions. They are 5 major points:

(1) You have one life No rebirth
(2) Your sin's can be pardoned thru' the process given by Holy Trinity,ie. Repentance, confession with a priest and indulgence
(3)Your created by God to lead happy life, for that hv  peaceful mind(having confession+Euchrist), worriless (handing over U'R worries to Mary/saints . With good health by drinking water And doing excercise+ carrying out your  actions efficient(use latest technology)
(4) convert your talents to energy and serve the society for the love of God.
(5) You have to identify what is sin, when you go against 10 commandments & 7 vices it is sin.
You Will see that all other religions of the world, does not have all these 5 points,together.

A. 2 How to become a Catholic professional?
Then all other sundays, including today, you will notice, how you are trained to become CATHOLIC PROFESSIONAL.

Professional means who gather uncommon knowledge and impart that knowledge to society. He always follows ethics & stay focused to a success of his mission.
In your catholic professional carrier, you will see,

With baptism you become member of church, while with Confirmation, you become catholic professional,following 7 ethics(10 comms/avoid 7 vices/practice 7 sacraments/practice 7 each corporal+Spritual mercy's/pardoning and love. As a professional you have to regulate your will. Jesus showed:
 how to become. Catholic Professional, He said NO

{(1)to ambitious young man to follow HIM
(2)to HIS mother,when She interrupt HIS teaching
(3)to Judas,turning into politics
(4)to temptation in wilderness
(5) at times,to HIMSELF"NO,I will not run from this. I will drink the cup that is placed before to me"

So Professional cannot lead a popular path.

A.4 Characteristics of a professional!
Another character of professional is he will identify his own his own life, as well as he will identify his own fault and feel actual sorry for his own faults that is repentnce and correct himself. That is why, even in normal professions like, Medicine,Engineering, once you get qualification, like baptism, then you study more to get professional qualification to become member of that profession, like confirmation, then to become full professional qualification, he has to work under a full professional. In Catholic full professional means until your death, depart from this world, you practice Catholicism with the help of church.

A.5 what we have reflected on last 2 sundays!
 during last 2 sundays, 10 & 11th of ordinary times,we reflected on those 2 points.
On 10th sunday, we found the value of respecting our parents & our life always moves with temp death by sin, again regaining temp birth with grace, with Pardoning process.

 last sunday we were reminded; about value of developing Repentance in our life. Otherwise our spiritual heart will become harden and we tend to ignore sins. We will lead our life to our convenience, depriving, the benefits assured by God to your life. When you don't identify what is sin, you tend to amplify many sins, and tend to ignore/or appreciate about sins.

B. Preamble for todays readings


Today, what is there to analyse?

B. 1 How to verify that you are a professional?
Today we analyze, another character of good professional, that is how to verify himself,Whether, he is on the correct path,to become Catholic professional.

A good catholic professional, analyse the result of his action; thru' practical experience. Then he can verify himself, whether he renounce Jesus thru' his life.

B.2 Today major reflection?
So today, church invites us to reflect'
(1)are U renouncing as a good catholic?. Like normal to other profession, Similar to medical Engineer or teacher,etc?
(2) What do you mean by life. And how crosses, are so important to manage?.

B.3 what is life cross and why God selected Cross?
First we will analyze what iS Cross?

In order to understand life crosses, one has to ponder, why God selected Cross, to die himself as human; why HE did not select to die, any other method?

In order to understand why HE selected Cross,
Take a pencil draw a line from bottom to  top. Vertical line which points heavenward,is a symbol of our final destiny!.Now draw another line across the page,splitting the vertical line,(horizontal line)what do you have? A CROSS!.

Similarly in our life, we like spirituality (vertical line), also we are craved with earth bound needs such as money,Power & desires representing the horizontal line.

 the vertical bar represent GOD's WILL,while horizontal bar represent OUR WILL,which negates,contradicts& crosses it.
piness!.

Every unhappy soul,has a Cross embedded in it. when Israelis were beaten by serpents &poison seeped within,Moses planted a brazen serpent on a stick & all looked on it were healed!.This serpent was similar to the serpent which stung them,but it was without poison!.So jesus came in  likeness of man,BUT WAS WITHOUT SIN & all who look upon HIM on HIS CROSS are saved!



So today readings, invite us to verify whether, you are more than a professional, to be more specific, whether, You are a professional with Spirituality, going towards full professionalism?

How to verify?

C.  summary's today's reading:

Zech(Zc 12: 10-11, 13:1) predicts that lord will pour out a spirit of kindness

Paul(Gal 3:26-29) tells Having being baptized into christ,we are all one with HIM.

Lk 9:18-24 says"Assured that HE is the Messiah,Jesus sd"if anyone wants to be a follower,let him renounce himself & take up his cross"


D. These readings Reminds us

(1) you cannot decide your parents to come to this world,only. God decided, giving rise  that everybody's birth decision was made by God, Hence human become one family with God,as the father. Hence you have to support & love other humans. This will result for you to implement 7 corporal(body) and 7 spiritual mercy's.
They Are:
Corporal mercy's : feeding hungry: giving drink to thisty: clothing naked: welcoming stranger: visiting sick & imprisoned : burying death.
Spiritual mercy's: counseling doubtful: instructing ignorant: Admonishing sinner: comforting sorrowful: bearing wrong patiently: pray for living and dead.

(2)With Baptism you became member of church &with confirmation U become catholic professional-who impart uncommon knowledge to society. And you are going towards full professional, until your death, thru' support of Church.

(3)for that U should practice 7 ethics-10 comms/ avoid7vices/ 7sacraments/7(each)corporal+spiritual mercies/pardoning/love

(4)similar to medical check up,U should verify whether U'r  spiritually fit?

(5)for that,attend Sunday mass+have pardoning process+receive Eucharist+and follow rest of 7 ethics+ daily reciting Rosary.

(6) Day to day living you get life crosses due disagreements with others, manage those by guidance given by Jesus, specially the examples set by him at Gethsamani and Golgotha.

(7)Catholicism provides easy path for U to become Professional with spirituality+to mange U'r life crosses.

E. Conclusion:
Finally you go in front of a mirror, look at yourself, ask you self, who are you, then go to a lonely place ask God, how HE is feeling about you!

To day I am writing  in Paris, in Rue de bac, where you get uncorupt body of St catherine, Holy Mary introduced thru' her the Miraculous medal to us. Hope you will wear and renounce your catholism!

Cycle 3:season: Ordinary Sunday No:11 Date: 12/6/2016- REPENTENT Catholic



A. Back ground: This is 11th ordinary sunday. Out of these 11 sundays, we spend 4 sundays, to analyze the CONCEPT DEFINING FEATURES of Catholicism.
These are

(1) God has Given one life(no another birth with babyhood), for you to lead a happy life, With surrendering your will to His. How to develop a happy mind? With Pardoning process, and receiving Eucharist, you achieve peaceful mind. Then next step is to develop worry less mind, by handing over your worries to Mary/Saints, then you develop your health and carry out actions efficiently.
(2)When you go against catholic 7 ethics,it is sin, you can remove the guilt of the sin, by REPENTANCE and confession. You can remove the punishment for sin, by indulgence activities. Punishment for sin can be during your life or after death in Purgatory. The equation only God knows,about punishment is in the hands of God. The process has been developed by Father/Son and Holy Spirit is Repentance,Confession and Indulgence.

(3) Holy Spirit lead church, through Pope's infallibility. With a happy mind, convert your talents to energy, by making to many skills,then to knowledge,by hard work, you develop to good attitude.

These features will identify what is catholicism. Since all religions, say, you have to love,avoid sins and they give a process to erase the effects of sin, you will see some overlapping concepts(not all), With Catholicism to other religions.

HAVING UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY WHAT ARE THE CONCEPTS defining features OF CATHOLISM, you can follow the other,reflections given in ordinary times sundays. Up to now 6 ordinary Sundays,out of 10 already passed.

First 5 has been devoted' HOW TO BE A CATHOLIC PROFESSIONAL"?. A professional means, who,does things even when he is not feeling to do so, and not blown about winds of moments. He stay focused to a success of his mission and do difficult things.
Professional will practice professional Ethics
You know what are your Catholic Ethics to follow!. When you are following certain Ethics, you will not go in a popular path. For example.

Jesus clearly show us how to become. Catholic Professional, He said NO

{(1)to ambitious young man to follow HIM
(2)to HIS mother,when She interrupt HIS teaching
(3)to Judas,turning into politics
(4)to temptation in wilderness
(5) at times,to HIMSELF"NO,I will not run from this. I will drink the cup that is placed before to me"

In practical Catholism,
You start to become Professional,after CONFIRMATION.

Training under professional is needed for you To become full professional.

Your Godparents or parents/priests..
have trained you,after Baptism/confirmation! For you to become a full professional.

Last sunday the 10th of ordinary times, two important points were reminded,
I.e (1)the value of respecting your parents, specially looking after them when they are help less in life.
(2) How you die spiritually due to sin and how you remove the guilt of the sin, thru' REPENTENT and CONFESSION with a priest and become grace With God! and nourish with Holy Eucharist.

Today, the 11th Sunday, church invites us to reflect more on REPENTANCE. This is the very primary step of Pardoning process. Whole hearted Repentance, also you have to develop, like your attitudes.



C. Preamble to  days reading:

B.1 Forgiveness of sin
- is what to day's liturgy is all about. Both David and the nameless women in Gospel were sinners. They have forgotten God and given into shameful self-indulgence. Why did they repent? BECAUSE GOD REFUSED TO FORGET THEM. God went after them,tracked them down,as a shepard tracks down lost sheep.
David came to his sense and repented and God forgives him. We don't know how the woman recognized her sinful condition and repented.
Her actions tell to the world, especially to Jesus, how she feels about her sinful past.

The Pharisee Simon, is the only one refuse to understand what has really happened."If this man is prophet,he would know who and what sort of woman this is that touches him. Jesus makes the Pharisee reluctantly admit that a person who receive the largest forgiveness of a debt has to be the most grateful. This gives another, point for us to understand. I.e. You should not brand anyone as Sinner. The judging will be done by God. HE can pardon any sins, hence we don't know whether the sinned person is actually in grace, after Pardoning or not. Next point is that, we cannot take the function of God. God is the ultimate judge. Let HIM judge whether the other person is n sin or not. We are not fit to judge.


Paul continues Jesus lesson: a person is not justified by legal observance or good work. The reason for God's acceptance and forgiveness is simply is God's living generosity and mercy. We can never have a claim on God. God has a claim on us, on our faith and gratitude and it is total.

B.2 Contrition
is guilt &sorry you feel for your actions against 7Ethics&church rules(sins). Sorry for sins MUST be genuine. Priests give everyone benefit of doubt,but no-one can fool God. PERFECT SORRY is when you are genuinely sorry as SINS OFFEND GOD. Imperfect Sorry is when you are  sorry as you fear pains of hell. Church believes either sorry will do;but PERFECT is obviously better. When you visit the doctor,U should explain symptoms before he diagnose problem &prescribe remedy. CONFESSION is like a spiritual check-up. Priest is  SPIRITUAL PHYSICIAN. Once U reveal your sins he will judge suitable penance(accd:Jn20:23).But only God judges if the person is truly sorry for his sins. Otherwise Sacrament will not work. You can FOOL PRIEST BUT NOT GOD. Effect of sin will increase fear/sorrow in life. God,thru' Catholic confession provides rehabilitation path for happy life.


B.3: Basic condition needed for Repentance:

First, you have to identify what is sin. For that you should know about 10 commandments and 7 vices.

B.3.1.  10 commandments

(1) Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me
(2) Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
(3) Keep holy the Sabbath Day
(4) Honour thy father and mother
(5) Thou shalt not kill (means only HUMANS)
(6) Thou shall not commit adultery
(7) Thou shall not steal
(8) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
(9) Thou shall not covert thy neighbor's wife
(10) Thou shalt not covert thy neighbors goods
Note: Obs: there are 3 parts, com 1- 5 God & you, com 6-8 deals personal to you, com 9-10 deals with you & society.

B.3.2. 7 vices

The wrong ways of enjoying has come to us from the original sin. At times due to lack of proper guidance,we get attached to things and persons alive or dead. Unless we purified we cannot purely love God with all our heart and all our soul.(Cf. Dt.6.5;Lk 10.27;Jn 15.12; Jn4.7-22)

Sloth: is laziness or idleness. Apart from doing nothing, you can develop idleness through unnecessary judging. This can be of 2 types. Discussing with your friends about bad about others- you go to unwanted areas of analysis, where you create not only spoiling your time but introducing anger in your body. Other type is unwarranted analysis about politicians or crimes in a given country. Analysis is good, but when you try to crave for analysis, you create spoiling your time without any results and start creating anger in your body. For this category of people, should avoid listening to multimedia, as first thing in the morning!.

Anger: is a strong feeling that comes when one feel, other is wrong or he is insulting or injustice etc. Anger is treated as committing suicide in catholicism.

SLOTH AND ANGER ARE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS, AND ALWAYS WE SHOULD AVOID THEM LIKE A WATER DROP TO A LOTUS FLOWER. HENCE, JUDGING OTHER IS A ROOT CAUSE TO GRASPH THESE 2 FRIENDS, WHICH WILL RUIN YOUR MENTAL HEATH AND ULTIMATELY PHYSICAL HEALTH TOO!.

Pride; it is too great an admiration of oneself. Pride has 7 evil consequences: boasting, love for publicity, hyprocrisy, hardheadness,discord,quarreling and dis obedience. When all these 7 evil inclination grow in our dealing with God and neighbor,THE DEVIL BALLOONS OUR PRIDE TO MAKE US LOSE EVANTUALLY TO OUR OWN EGOISM.

Avarice: is lead us to be greedy,and ends up with fraud,perjury,dishonesty,perfidy and harshness, in dealing with others. Avarice further leads us to desire and covet things that we should not. This behavior can affect all the 6 goods: NATURAL,TEMPORAL, SENSORY,MORAL,SPIRITUAL and SUPERNATURAL. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs the kingdom of God"

Envy; envy start demanding,"WHY SHOULD NOT I HAVE EVERY THING THAT OTHERS HAVE?". We are envious of another's goods and jealous of our own. DEEPLY ROUTED JEALOUSY CAN LEAD TO LOSE HEALTH BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL.


Lust; It is a dis orientated love that seeks not the other but personal individualistic pleasure and satisfaction in everything we do. Lust excludes all personal consideration for the sake of sensate experience. Lust leads to exploitation of oneself and others or things for our own glory, satisfaction and pleasure.
The pleasure seeking attitude in life cannot help us to partners with God. The desire for pleasure is good thing in life. Life would be sapless without it. What is dangerous is inordinate craving for it. Jesus advocate a life that is simple. He is conscious of the dangers of riches and money.

Gluttony:
This flows from the dis orderly animal appetite, the obsession with food and drink to the point of living to eat, rather than eating to live.


C. To days reading:

Samuel(2 S 12:7-10.13) Tells: prophet nathan lists david's sins; David response with sorrow & is forgiven.

 Paul(Gal 2:16.19-21)" summarizes his doctrine on justification.

Lk7:36-8:3 tells" a sinful women repent her past & washes jesus feet with her tears. her sins are forgiven.


Reminds:
(1)In your life,you will sin either knowingly/know later
(2)perhaps when you get misery in your life,you tend to analyze whether you commit sins
3)Since you believe in 1 life,you can clearly identify you sins,analyze what cause you to make sin
(4)for that you should know primarily how to apply 10 commandments, in your life
(5)secondarily 7 vices
(6)Identify your sins, determine how to avoid in future &Repent that your action has caused,harm to your self+society+specially to God
(7) Go to a priest have confession. Frequent confession means often you test your life,the relationship with God. When did you confess?

E. Conclusions
In summary church, invites us to reflect today,very important character, that should develop in our life. REPENTANCE;
When you don't identify what is sin, you tend to amplify many sins, and tend to ignore/or appreciate about sins. Leading misery in your life. When a society leads without knowing repentance, will lead to, many corruption in the society! Catholicism will Provide you a clear path, how to develop your life, with repentance and confession!
And be happy in your life!
