Reflection for 13th august 2017, celebrating 19th Sunday mass of ordinary season,of cycle 1. Today church invite us to reflect 4 major factors. (1) how to manage fear in your life(2) how to develop courage but not to go for dutch courage(3) without dis courage, how to encourage others about God and HIS teachings!(4) what is the difference between magic and miracle.
First we will see about fear!
Fear is ever present in our life.
Jesus was afraid. HE talked about HIS fear' to HIS staff. HE wrestled with HIS fears to the point of sweating blood in the garden. Without fear JESUS could not have been example to us. HE would have been just another man.
JESUS was not afraid to grow up,either, but HE did have to face some painful and gruesome events in HIS life.

Jesus knew that best way to conquer fear was to face forward. HE didn't shrink to go to Jerusalem. HE boldly announce HIS identity to HIS executioners. HE got sick to HIS stomach and wept till sweat became blood - but HE went thru' it. Although HE felt fear HE faced it.
Courage is the ability to do something(even though you may be afraid)that is frightening,difficult or dangerous.
(1)drinking alcohol
(2)unwanted craving of power,money,desires (3)cravings towards7vices(sloth,anger,prid
(4)infallibility, selfishness & ego.
You can develop dutch courage too!,which will end up increasing fear and sorrow n your life,in the long run!
Courage is not the absence of fear, Rather requires fear. Courage is willingness to act in spite of fear. There is no need to be courageous if you are not afraid of something. In other words,Courage is something one possesses. It means that a person is brave and doesn't allow fear to stop them from taking a difficult action. If a person is courageous it means that he is very brave. Encouragement is given by one person to another.
In Life, most instances you will have fear, sometimes, you don't know how to get out of fear. When you allow fear to grow up it might end up committing suicide or you become unhealthy. How to treat fear is one of the important aspect of catholicism. You hand over your fear to Holy Mary or your favorite saints, for them to help you and you move forward without analyzing too much on your fear. You will see, the treatment or solution for your fear.
Following God's will does not mean, that you will not face fear or problems, but you are assured how to clear your problem. Sometimes we need immediate solutions, but God's methods are different. Jesus went after 4 days lazarus died, but he again gave life to lazarus. That is why our fAith become important.

Todays reading:
Book of kings says(1K 19:9.11-13)"stand on the mountain before the Lord"
Paul to Romans says(Rm 9:1-5)" I would willing be condemned if it could help my brothers"
MT (14:22-33) says"Tell me to come to you across the water".
Do not be afraid is one of the expressions, which goes straight to the heart. Who has not sometimes be afraid? The command not top fear combines 2 things. Firstly it is a recognition that sometimes that we are afraid,secondly, it proclaims that in the community of faith,with Jesus, God with us, our companion on the way,we ought really to be free from deep fear, because,"all shall be well". Let us hear again the words" courage it is I, do not be afraid"
Finally we can summarise today's reflection as follows:
(1)walking on water/converting water into wine,rising lazareth from death is above science, which cannot be explained-it is Miracles
(2)when you develop faith with God,you witness Miracles
(3)fear is ever presence in your life& can be treated only with courage
(4)but developing dutch courage(earth bound cravings)end up with introduction of more fear into your life& discourage U to follow God's Will
(5)Jesus showed HIS fears at Gethsamani, otherwise HE could not have been example to us
(6)foolish farmer waits for cloudless sky,before HE plant his field
(7)Mary+saints will help U to concur Ur fear, &to face forward.

In conclusions, you can ask questions by yourself:
JESUS Worked thru' HIS fears!
What are the fears that is keeping you from achieving your goals?, is it those goals are earth bound or spirtual? Or to develop your wisdom?
Assuming your fear will never disappear, how long are you willing to wait, to move forward?. How to get the support of God thru' Holy mary and saints?
Thank you!
