First tip:- try to be happy with everyone, ...not easy but possible

SalC:
First tip:- try to be happy with everyone, ...not easy but possible

I don't think it's possible, even Jesus was not.

Syncan:


I don't think it's possible, even Jesus was not.

Do you think it is impossible because Jesus wasn't "always" happy with everyone?

SalC:
Do you think it is impossible because Jesus wasn't "always" happy with everyone?

No, I did not think it's impossible because Jesus wasn't always happy with everyone, rather I think Jesus wasn't always happy with everyone because it's impossible to do so and be perfect.

Syncan:


No, I did not think it's impossible because Jesus wasn't always happy with everyone, rather I think Jesus wasn't always happy with everyone because it's impossible to do so and be perfect.

So you believe being happy with every one can make one imperfect? How so?

SalC:
So you believe being happy with every one can make one imperfect? How so?

It is so because in the matter of perfection, lukewarmness is not allowed. Do you think differently?

Syncan:

I believe so, but how does being happy with everyone translate to being lukewarm?

Are you saying Jesus Would have done better by being happy with those selling in the temple? Matt. 21.

No, there was a reason why I added "always"

Good. Then it is impossible to be always happy with everyone and be perfect.

Syncan:

Now this is better,

So back to the story ish, just enjoy the story and pick the lessons therein, don't put much interest on the teller.

Good morning brethren
Just for the records: Out of sight is not out of mind o

Syncan:
Today's First reading 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1

"Whatever you eat, whatever you drink, whatever you do at all, do it for the glory of God. Never do anything offensive to anyone – to Jews or Greeks or to the Church of God; just as I try to be helpful to everyone at all times, not anxious for my own advantage but for the advantage of everybody else, so that they may be saved. Take me for your model, as I take Christ".


"Take me for your model, as I take Christ".... O God! What a statement...I feel so ashamed. I just tried now to see if I could boldly say the same to others...ah...I fell short, for the full picture of my unworthiness is quite vivid before me. Blessed are you brethren if you could say the same to others about yourself. Yes, maybe at one time or the other, cooperating with grace, we actually display Christlike qualities. We are however required to be Christlike in all things and at all times...be perfect as your holy father is perfect....Matt.5:48. Being Christlike is something that is lacking in the modern "Christianity" as bandied about in our world presently. We are presently too selfish, too worldly, too materialistic, ego and pride filled, too vindictive, to be Christlike. A lot of lessons could be learn by simply looking at these two individuals: One took over the leadership of his country by force, the other captured the heart of the world gently. One became so rich that it was claimed he became richer than his country, the other became a begger and shared with the poor the little she gets.They were both Catholics, they both lived in the same age, they died in the same month of the same year. The story of Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire and Mother Theresa of Calcutta. At their death, the following were extracts about their burial.

Mobutu Sese Seko- "The former dictator of Zaire, Mobutu Sese Seko, who died of prostate cancer on Sept. 7, was buried today in a private ceremony attended only by members of his family in the European cemetery here. A funeral service planned for St. Peter's Cathedral in the city center did not take place because Moroccan authorities, without giving any explanation, removed security from around the building..."


Mother Theresa- "The three hour state funeral, which was characterized by multi-lingual and multi-religious rites, was held in Calcutta's Netaji Indoor Stadium. Dignitaries from more than 50 nations attended the Roman Catholic funeral mass, presided over by Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Sodano, the personal representative of Pope John Paul II".

Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

It's either I was too young to witness this all-important event

Or

I'm too old to remember the past


I don't know why I thought Mother Theresa story happened some 2000 years ago

Such a role model
