Mysterious Catholic-sunday 4/1/2015 this readings are same for all cycles1,2,3

10:04 PM No comments

Christmas we remember historical birth of Christ, in Advent we reflected how the 2nd coming of christ to our life to be planted.

The 4 pillars of catholism(a)BELIEF- creed(2)WORSHIP- 7 sacraments (3)SPIRITUALITY-how we establish connection with God-Lords prayer+mary+saints (4)BEHEVIOR-10 commandments+pardoning leading to have a peaceful+ worry less+happy mind.

In christmas season we focused on physical characteristics of how Jesus came to this world. What are the essential changes that has been taken place with Mary, Joseph in bringing Saviour to this world!.
Christmas season starts from christmas day (Dec 25th) until Jan 8th will have around 2 sundays to reflect alone with (1) Jesus virginal birth
(2) characteristics of Holy Family
(3) Jesus human + divine character.

In advent season we planted in our life the birth of Jesus. In Christmas season,we focused why Judaism does not believe Saviour our Lord has come. They cannot expect the saviour to come thru' human person, though in the old testament it was clearly mentioned. A virginal birth. Next point is Immaculate conception of Mary to support the Jesus-Our Saviours birth. It is by her own effort she exert herself to be fit to occupy that position. The last point is the virginal marriege of Joseph and Mary and how they live together in upbringing Jesus thru His unpublished life.

When we are earth bound, it is difficult to think how Mary and Joseph kept their virtues up to the mark!. But when we analyze the value of spirituality, the earth bound desires are of secondary and Not at all basic matter for living, as against some modern thinking!. The real love is not earth bound, it is going against the gravitational pull, to realise Happiness.(Ex Jesus resurrection) Joseph and Mary has shown this example of happiness, with overcoming fear and sorrow by following God's will.

Mystery!

Mystery of any subject is no longer going to be a mystery, if you focus more on that subject. This knowledge that you can acquire from the learning process. Catholism has allowed any adult to convert, the root less faith they develop at school, to a full pledge faith, by attendingsunday mass, specially following and reflecting on the sunday gospel reading alone with other 2 readings. Sunday Mass is the weekly banquet of God, where your reflection is equivalent to the proper cloth that you should wear for that banquet.

Mt2:1-12 says"..Jesus born.. Wise men came..King Herod..when U have found Him let me know..they saw child..offered Him gifts..But they were warned..not to go back to Herod. Reminds happy mind(wise men)will receive God's will &it may not normal(did not go back to Herod).Prop: Isaih says"lift up your' eyes & look around". Paul says"knowledge is Mystery".reminds that for you to learn any subject you should devote time to learn on that with a happy mind,otherwise it is going to be Mystery. If you don't reflect sunday readings/recite daily Rosary,without developing(peaceful+worry less and happy)mind,you will not be aware about
(1)DIVINE &HUMAN NATURE OF JESUS
(2)IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF MARY
(3)JOSEPH&MARY'S VIRGINAL MARRIEGE
(4)IMPORTANCE OF HANDING OVER WORRIES TO MARY &SAINTS,for God's will
(5)GOD'S WILL MAY NOT SAME AS YOUR WILL.

Socratise says "unaware life is not worth for living." They sleep walk until they die!.

The last sunday of Christmas season, take us to understand more on Catholicism comparing with Judaism. How God in his own wisdom send His beloved son to this world,to show us a path to reach Happiness. The tree of life in the garden of eden, which has being closed to human, has being opened with Jesus(idea of christmas tree in christmas). For that we have to be very clear as to the difference of going against gravitational pull, to experience HAPPINESS. The logical way of thinking of human, with respect to families and extending to generations and idea of Virginal birth! And virginal marriege!. This further extend, the practical evidence supported by Holy mary with respect to immaculate conception revealed through Miraculous medal and apparition at Lourdes. May be God on His own wisdom, given us these evidences, when the society needs such evidence! Earlier people believed without those evidences before 1830. Present evidence is the un corrupt bodies now you in france (1) Body of St catherine(2) Body of St Bernedeth.

Human paradigms

We should not break our head how our fore fathers believed that!, it is similar that Catholicism does not start with Gospel but traditions start the church, then Gospel came. God is not dead but HE is a living God!. He changes the paradigm of the people to enforce changes in living with generations, otherwise the life of human will be stagnate, and there is no enthusiasm for new generation to enjoy.

About MARY AND CHRISTIANS

CATHOLICS AND NON CATHOLICS HAVE SOMETIMES MISUNDERSTOOD HOW THE CHURCH SEES THE ROLE OF MARY IN THE WORK OF REDEMPTION. IT IS NOT BY NECESSACITY BUT BY DIVINE CHOICE THAT GOD ALLOWS ANY HUMAN BEING TO PARTICIPATE iN SALVATION HISTORY. WHILE UPHOLDING THE UNIQUE AND SINGULAR ROLE OF CHRIST AS MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND HUMAN(because JESUS is both human and divine himself) Holy Mary is one major example. God freely choose the corporation of Mary to accomplish His divine plan. VIRGIN MARY WAS TOTALLY HUMAN WHILE HER SON WAS TRUE GOD AND TRUE MAN(not a hybrid 50/50- half God/half man- but one divine person with a full human nature and a full divine nature)

St John Paul 2 And Mother Mary

Pope John paul 2, like most other popes, took a moto as well as a new name when He was elected bishop of Rome by cardinals, in 1978 after the untimely death of JP1,one month after his election. JP2 Motto was" totus tuus", which is latin for "TOTALLY YOURS". It is based on spirituality of St Louis de Montfort, a 17 century french priest, who promoted a strong devotion to the VIRGIN MARY. Part of that spirituality focussed on being"TOTALLY YOURS"- that is being totally committed to following the holy example of MARY, the mother of JESUS, especially in Her humility and her obedient disciple ship to that same son of hers. JP2 wrote a papal en cyclical in 1987(Redemptoris Mater) on VIRGIN MARY as mother of the redeemer(JESUS CHRIST) and Her Role in Salvation.

1st Encyclical Letter Of Pope Francis/ THE LIGHT OF FAITH(29/6/2013) Para 58

BLESSED IS SHE WHO BELIEVED(LK 1:45) 58. In the parable of sower, Saint Luke has left us these words of the Lord about the "good soil": "These are the ones who when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart,and bear fruit with patient endurance"(LK 8:15). In the context of Luke's Gospel, this mention on an honest and good heart which hears and keeps the word is an implicit portrayal of the faith of the Virgin Mary. The evangelist himself speaks of Mary's memory, how she treasured in her heart all that she had heard and seen, so that the word can bear fruit in her life. The mother of the Lord is perfect icon of faith; as Saint Elizabeth say:"Blessed is she who believed"(LK1:45) In Mary, the daughter of Zion, is fulfilled the long history of faith of the Old Testament, with its account of so many faithful women, beginning with Sarah: women who, alongside the patriarchs, were these in whom God's promise was fulfilled and new life flowered. In the fullness of time, God's word were spoken to Mary and she received that word into her heart, her entire being, so that in her womb it would take flesh and be born as light for humanity. Saint Justin Martyr, in his dialogue with Trypho, uses a striking expression; he tells us that Mary receiving the message of angel, conceived faith demonstrated its fullness; when our own spiritual lives bear fruit we become filled with joy, which is the clearest sign of faith, following in the footsteps of her son. In her the faith journey of the Old Testament was thus taken up into the following of Christ, transformed by him and entering into gaze of the incarnate son of God.
