Summary Of Cycle 2 Ordinary Times 34 Sundays

3:30 AM No comments

Purpose of sunday readings:
Catholic church has organised sunday readings to educate christians. There are 3 main readings for each sunday. 1st reading, 2 nd reading and 3rd reading. 3 rd reading is only from Gospels while 2 nd reading is generally from new testament writings from early church. While 1st reading is generally from old testament. All 3 readings are selected in such a way, to contemplate, one aspect of God, towards humans.

In order for you to understand,gradually about God and increase your faith, these sunday readings are organised in 3 yearly cycles. In order for you to get good knowledge of God and for you to develop faith, one has to carefully reflect sunday readings in all these 3 years at least once. The gospels of mark,matthew and luke are generally used for cycle 1,cycle 2,cycle 3;

You can study who is God(Father+Son+Holy Spirit) and how they created this world, why fear,sorrow and disagreements presence in our life and what is the treatment for that,etc..,in a cycle of 3 years.

God's hand
It is surprising to note, how these 3 reading sets have been selected to pass a God's message.(Some readings are connected with different paragraphs!

Summary of cycle 2 ordinary times

One can get some idea as how sunday readings are organised, which might help to understand the purpose of sunday readings, from the immediate completing cycle 2, which ends 22/11/2015. This will be useful for any person, who wants to get an overview in the beginning of year 2018, when it starts the ordinary time.. Same idea will repeat in 2021,2024..etc.
2 parts can be deduced for the cycle 2 ordinary times sundays.

In my reflection,(you might have a different view), there are 2 parts of reflections for cycle 2:

Part 1
summary Sunday 1-22

GENERAL CONCEPT OF CATHOLISM

Catholics,believe God created U different to others to live happily. For that U have to follow HIS Will. Church was formed by Holy Spirit to achieve your' happiness!.God extend this human generation thru' married &single vocations. Craving for earth bounds needs making U to sin which lead to fear &sorrow. Follow rules given by God,daily change to realize anticipated happiness. Disseminate your' happiness with neighbour. With Baptism you have become member of church. World is changing every day leading different paradigms for humans. God(Holy Spirit)thru' church direct humans, how to manage this change. Ex: No artificial birth control,no abortion, no euthanasia etc). Catholic believe presence of God,in Holy Eucharastic & sunday mass is obligatory for them. At mass,after verifying yourrself whether U followed God's will,U receive Eucharist.

Part 2:
HOW TO PRACTICE CATHOLISM.

(1)Start seed of God, by appreciating His grace in your' life(2)Make daily habit of encounter Him,start with analysing graces U receive+Rosary(3)Church run by Holy Spirit. Know all commandments that U should follow given by Father-10 comms/Son-pardoning+love/Holy Spirit-church rules upto to date(4)Reflect How your' following God's Will,in family-acting like child/in personal-ready to remove any possessions for God.(5)you have to convert your' talent to skills,by practising,then develop wide knowledge. By hard work,U contribute that to society, by forming good attitude,for love of God. when U encounter with God,under above 2,follow cycle of Plan,Do,Control,Amend (means changing U'rattitude-repentance) (to adhere to God's commandments)(6)Avoid 7vices,in your' life.(Sloth,anger,pride, envy,lust,avarice, gluttony)(7)daily enjoy Happy life(new twig).now your' seed of faith is becoming tree(repeat 5 above)

These 2 parts, reflected are repeated in years 2018,2021...etc in ordinary times. This summary will help you to reflect on the sunday readings given in cycle 2.

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.
