CAN YOU EXPLAIN ANYBODY WITOUT KNOWING PPROPERLY ABOUT THAT SUBJECT?
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 YOU CAN SEE FROM CATHOLIC PROFESSIONAL?
He is clear about Jesus teaching: and knows 7 ethics to be applied in to his life.
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.
Upto 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:U'r greedyness,leading to fraud,perjury, dishonesty,perfidy&harshness,
#LUST:Dis orientated love that seeks not other but personal individualistic pleasure& satisfaction in all U do.Desire for pleasure is good thing in life.Life would be sapless without it.What is dangerous is in ordinate 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.
Alone with this back ground, we can reflect todays readings:
Todays 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)Ur own ego(disciples ask fire);
2)Not knowing how to manage above(a&b),tend to increase Crosses(disagreements&sorrows)
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 Ur 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 Ur cravings;
b)Avoid7vices to show U'r not God;
c)Respect other's freedom,where you cannot judge what they think or do!
Conclusion:
2 major reflections, arising from today's reading: without good knowledge about Cathoilsm, 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!
