Cycle 1: Season: Ordinary Sunday No:32 Date: 12/11/2017 Visionary Catholic - in detail

Reflection for 12th november 2017, celebrating 32st Sunday of ordinary season,of cycle 1. Today church invite us to analyze (1)what is the difference beteween human and animal(2)what is the speciality about human mind(3) what is human free will(4)how to identify the correct vision of individual life(5)dependency of God into our life(6)how to lead a happy life as guaranteed by God(7) what is eternal life?

Let us analyze the difference between human and animal.

There are 3 living beings in this world. Hguman,animal ad trees. Animal annd human can move while trees cannot move.
So people tend to think human also animal.
But when you analyse further, you reAlies that animal cannot carry out acton for a purpose, While human can carry out action for a specific purpose. The purpose can be good or bad. How human is going to be different with animal?

Let us analyse the human body!

MAIN PARTS OF YOUR BODY

In short, human body main components can be Heart, Brain and Mind. You need basic element food(6 elements for humans/food,water,earth,air,sunlight and fire) for you to live alive.


FUNCTION OF HEART
When you eat, the food will become blood and circulated through heart to you whole body for you to live, with oxygen being provided from air thru' your lungs. You Will see that air and blood cannot be made artificially

FUNCTION OF BRAIN
Brain carry out orders from mind. Hence brain is the interface between mind and human body

FUNCTION OF MIND
Mind is the thought factory. You select a thought out of many thoughts file up in your mind, carry out action through your brain. Selection process is called your free will.
MIND and FREEWILL form THE SOUL.
GOD WILL NEVER INTERFERE WITH YOUR FREE WILL.
Here you will see your mobile software is the mind of your telephone, you can select the necessary programmed to be used. You cannot see the software. Animals does not have mind. When did dolphin fish write a book?.
Only difference
YOUR MIND WILL DECIDE WHAT IS TRUTH FOR YOU,WHILE YOUR FREE WILL DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!


So unlike other 2 living beings, human is having vast capability to analyze and select what to do in your life.

How to use the vast capability in you for your own satifaction and to please your creator God


There is another concept followed by most of church going catholics. They think, Holy spirit will provide all facilities, without striving hard to achieve the purpose by themselves. They exercise their Laziness,(major vice) for their own convenience to witness an unhappy life!.

 MAIN ELEMENTS FOR THE BRAIN TO WORK !

 86 billion neurons live in the human brain and form trillions of connections among themselves. BRAIN IS MASSIVE COLLECTION OF NODES IN A WELL CONNECTED NETWORK. How information is kept an process in the brain, remains the focus of incredible amount of Neuro science researches!. Still researching! Here the forming brain network is different from one person to another person. Their mind set what is truth depending upon this networking. Then they act what is good for them thru' their free will.

 BELIEVING IN A CREATOR!
Believing a Creator does not violate science. When we analyze human body, it is clear, that it is an intelligent design. This cannot come from nothing on it's own!.Only from a Supreme Being who is not confined to TIME and SPACE can create something out of nothing.

GOD'S PATH

God gave us an intellect to seek the truth- be it scientific, philosophic, or theological truth. FAITH and RESONS are not competing forces but two sides of the same coin. When modern man realizes that he needs both natural(earth bound) and a spiritual wisdom, and earthly knowledge is not contradicted by spiritual knowledge, then he is on the road of the fulfillment!.

Effect of  Vices:
You can easily follow Christian principles. Catholic means universal. That means it can be applied any where in this globe without any difficulty, whether it is a cold country or hot!. The major laws to follow is given below. (You will see these laws does not interact with food, what you should eat. There are no restrictions on food, clearly shows the application is universal!).
(1)Follow 10 commandments with pardoning
(2)Have a peaceful mind without anger
(3)Hand over your fear and sorrow to Mary and saints- if anybody ask you to carry 1 mile carry 2 miles happily, with the intention(a)if it is coming from Bully(satan),request to correct your friend(b)if the instruction coming from God,allow you to correct yourself(c)don't argue with your friend and always don't keep any resentment out of that action).
(4)Convert your talents to energy
Once you follow the above rules, you are going to convert PEACEFUL MIND TO WORRY FREE MIND. Without your knowledge you will develop vices, vices are the analogy of market of your life, jesus showed the importance of wiping out these vices.

7 vices
Out of 7, 2 vices namely anger and laziness are major, where you cannot practice catholism for a peaceful life! NOW YOU ARE ELLIGIBLE FOR HEAVEN.
 Even with peaceful mind you can develop the following 5 vices! They are sloth,lust. envy, gluttony. This is equivalent to market place around the temple which leads you to purgatory!. For this kind of person(most of us)God said he will re establish total happiness in heaven thru' 3 steps.
DEATH,PURGETORY, HEAVEN!


Pride; it is too great an admiration of oneself. Pride has 7 evil consequences: boasting, love for publicity, hypocrisy, hard head ness,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. Paul says Love is not jealous or envious.

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 sen sate 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 sap less 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.


Today's reading:
Book of wisdom (Ws 6:12-16)) says: Wisdom is found by those who look for her
Paul to thesoliniAns says(1 Thess 4:13-18) says"death does not end life. Those who die believing in Christ are forever with the Lord"
Mt(25:1-13) says" the bridge groom is here go out and meet HIM.
Mainly reflect that we do not know when the lord will come, if we are wise we will always be prepared.

In conclusion, your earth bound dreams Without considering God, sometimes may not realize, making you to frustrate. when you develop your human qualities, under the umbrella of God, death is not a break for your eternal life.

Cycle 1:season: Ordinary Sunday No:31 Date: 5/11/2017 Prestigious Catholic - in detail

High light:
(1)Prestige means power to impress others about Ur achievements or character etc. Can U realize prestige after Ur death?
(2)Ur born,before Ur birth in Ur mother' Womb.Why U say"Human life is different to animal life?.when did the Dolphine fish write a book?
(3)Do Ur life extend after death?.can U decide Ur birth & death times? Who decide that?.why catholic believe Holy Trinity decide that?(Since God is having different meaning to different people). What is the relevance of Trinity to Ur life? Have Jesus assured happiness now & forever,when U follow HIM?
(4)What is Ur prestige after Ur death?.Does saints have more prestige than others in heaven?.why U respect & request their help?
(5)What is purgatory?. Is it in the Bible?.Who introduce this?.Why Jesus was circumcised?why not Ur not so? Mary showed purgatory to 3 children in fatima,100 ago?
(6) Why in cana,jesus showed us to request to HIM thru' Mary?. Can U ignore this since only one Gospel writer(Jn 2) wrote this?
(7) What is the value of saints to Ur life?. If God is there, why saints?.Do U pray servant of God thomas cardinal coray to raise as blessed? What is the process of canonization?


Reflection for 5th november 2017, celebrating 31st Sunday of ordinary season,of cycle 1. Today church invite us to analyze (1)what do mean by prestige? (2) how you develop prestige in your life when you forget God(3)how you came to the present position, on whose support(4)why you cannot live alone, why you need friends(5)why God has shown you to develop spiritual friends too,alone with you earthly fiends(6)why purgatory is there, how can you extend your gratitude to departed fiend who supported you(7) why you cannot cary your ego atfter Ur death?

Prestige
Is power to impress/influence,as because of success & wealth or reputation of brilliance of achievement,character.

Jesus opposition to scribe &pharisee's reaches it's climax in the final week,before they condemn HIM to death. HE told"OBSERVE EVERYTHING THEY TELL U,BUT DO'NT FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLES,ALL THEIR WORK IS PERFORMED TO BE SEEN.THESE LEADERS SOUGHT HUMAN PRESTIGE RATHER THAN DIVINE WILL'they lead a double life,talk-gd game of religious observance,but never showed those on their own lives!.Heart of religion has to be in human heart,NOT in fancy of EXTERNAL OBSERVANCE.They exhalt(to raise in rank,honor,power & character-forgetting God)themselves NOT God!.this is equally applicable to all catholics,not only priest. Exhalting has to be balanced with humbleness. Strings of guitar should not be too tight or too lose to get the correct sound.

You cannot live alone in this world. You need a society. You are subject to interdependent with others. You need the support of many other skilled people to lead your life. God too has itroduced the same theory. HE has shown us Mary and saints. For us to study their character too. For us to appreciate how they live. With worries you cannot carry out God's Will in your life. Hand over your worries to them then you will be brave to take any action on behalf of God. Worries will bar reaching God's Will. It is like a computer With virus!.


DEVELOPING FRIENDS

To have Earthly friends, starting from your family is earth bound and easy!. It is temporary, when you leave this world you leave them. But developing spiritual friends need more energy. Identify their earthly character, how they have behaved, why they become a saint?. Then your life experience with them?. Why there are so many non catholics go to St Anthony's church? Because their life experience, they know that HE has intervened with God, to get relief for their problems!. Similarly there are many saints Catholic church has declared!.( After a well defined through study- check whether other christian denomination have this kind of process?)
Similarly these spiritual friends(saints/blessed/servent of God) will make you to lead your life without fear and sorrow, after handing over such to them.(They will intercede with God, to provide happiness)

Catholism still preserve, maintaining saints, for us to develop spiritual friends. This process is needed, as shown by God,it is a beautiful method of realizing Happiness thru' spiritual Love of God towards you through their intercession!.

Your present prestige is due to many opportunities you receive from earthly friends too. Can you forget them when they die? No we any human in this world is prune for sins. Thru' confession you cannot remove a guilt of the sin. It is purely a God's decision, how long that you have to stay in purgatory before to heaven.


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(10 years) 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 also


 What is SIN.

 When we follow major laws 10 commandments with no enemies and manage our disagreements with other people,(without anger to develop in our mind)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. Good example is your parents!. 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. Unfortunately we are lacking to understand the change over.

 Why PURGATORY

Inability to follow God's will is sin, can lead to PURGATORY after your death. If you make traffic offense,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.

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.

So it is the wish of God, thru' holy spirit nformed to us about saints and purgatory.


Todays reading
Prophet Malachi says(MI:1: 14-2:2.8-10)" you have stayed from the way, you have caused many to tumble,by your teaching""
Paul to thessolanion say(1 TH 2: 7-9.13)"we are eager to hand over to you not only the good news, but our lives as well.
Mt(23:1-12) say"They do not practice, what they preach"

Reflects: practice what you preach, the Pharieses were singled out by Jesus as being hypocrites. They were not prepared to easy the burden of others and so became a stumbling block to the faith of many people. We proclaim the good news not so much by what we say as by the way in which we live..

Reminds
(1)from the day you have conceived in your mother's womb,until now,many people have supported to your success(present prestige)(2)some of them unknown,dead or living
(3)can you forget them/do you have gratitude towards them?
(4)why you became a teacher instead of a doctor?Is it by your own efforts without the support of others?
(5)the success you enjoy today may be due to many intercessions by saints with God,(6)why you remember all saints followed by all souls/1st remember spiritual then earthly FRIENDS) then to forget Ur prestige&  develop gratitude towards them
(7)when you value the support of others both spiritual&earthly,you forget your own prestige &develop humility in your all actions

Finally
Your success was due to many opportunities you receive from society. Who provided these opportunities? Without those are you same as you today? Opportunities given by eartlhly friends have limitation & subject to 7 vices, while heavenly friends become ideal!. Develop gratitude for all who supported you, then you realize the prestige of your own success is a mirage & all your action become humble. Catholic church provide that opportunity thru all saints+all souls feast+ this sunday reading.

Lastly

one of the intention of reform of the liturgy which the 2nd vatican council(1962-1965) undertook was to present the mysteries of the Lord Jesus throughout the yearly cycle. Of these the most fundamental is that victory which God the Father gave to Jesus by raising HIM to a new life which is variously termed resurrection, exaltation, vindication, glorification etc. Every sunday is primarily the day on which this mystery is celebrated

Let's summarize today's reflection: the greatest among you will be one who serves the rest. Who ever exalt himself shall be humbled, but whoever humble himself shall be exalted.

Thank you
God bless you!

To understand God loves you, you will see there many in the society loves you, as well as you love them too. Good example is your parents!. 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. Unfortunately we are lacking to understand the change over.


Why PURGATORY

Inability to follow God's will is sin, can lead to PURGATORY after your death. If you make traffic offense,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.


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.


So it is the wish of God, thru' holy spirit nformed to us about saints and purgatory.


Todays reading


Prophet Malachi says(MI:1: 14-2:2.8-10)" you have stayed from the way, you have caused many to tumble,by your teaching""


Paul to thessolanion say(1 TH 2: 7-9.13)"we are eager to hand over to you not only the good news, but our lives as well.


Mt(23:1-12) say"They do not practice, what they preach"


Reflects: practice what you preach, the Pharieses were singled out by Jesus as being hypocrites. They were not prepared to easy the burden of others and so became a stumbling block to the faith of many people. We proclaim the good news not so much by what we say as by the way in which we live..


Reminds


(1)from the day you have conceived in your mother's womb,until now,many people have supported to your success(present prestige)(2)some of them unknown,dead or living


(3)can you forget them/do you have gratitude towards them?


(4)why you became a teacher instead of a doctor?Is it by your own efforts without the support of others?


(5)the success you enjoy today may be due to many intercessions by saints with God,(6)why you remember all saints followed by all souls/1st remember spiritual then earthly FRIENDS) then to forget Ur prestige& develop gratitude towards them


(7)when you value the support of others both spiritual&earthly,you forget your own prestige &develop humility in your all actions


Finally

Your success was due to many opportunities you receive from society. Who provided these opportunities? Without those are you same as you today? Opportunities given by eartlhly friends have limitation & subject to 7 vices, while heavenly friends become ideal!. Develop gratitude for all who supported you, then you realize the prestige of your own success is a mirage & all your action become humble. Catholic church provide that opportunity thru all saints+all souls feast+ this sunday reading.


Lastly

one of the intention of reform of the liturgy which the 2nd vatican council(1962-1965) undertook was to present the mysteries of the Lord Jesus throughout the yearly cycle. Of these the most fundamental is that victory which God the Father gave to Jesus by raising HIM to a new life which is variously termed resurrection, exaltation, vindication, glorification etc. Every sunday is primarily the day on which this mystery is celebrated


Let's summarize today's reflection: the greatest among you will be one who serves the rest. Who ever exalt himself shall be humbled, but whoever humble himself shall be exalted.


Thank you


God bless you!
