striktlymi:i'll agree with you that the truth should be defined if it is to be considered objective...most time it should obey a set of rules. If we can agree that truth can be objective but needs to be defined, I think the question is : who defines what is objectively true? What do u think? I don't think you belong to any congregation that is as rigid as some of the mendicant orders. I presume you would be somewhere in between. A congregation that allows some degree of flexibility. Somewhere in between MSP or SPS and the Vocationist. Not strictly missionary and not 'too religious'. then maybe you don't know me that well. IF (and that is a very big if) i were a religious, i wouldn't want something in the middle, i'll go for a congregation with a dynamic contemplative life, practical ascetism, powerful pastorial work(evangelisation), culture of heavy theological thought and enviable charity.... I will be interested in doing everything, doing everything to its allowed extreme.... |

Day 5 .Reflection from Luke 12:13-21 . 13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.”14 But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?”15 And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” 16 Then he told them a parable: “The land of a rich man produced abundantly. 17 And he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’18 Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’21 So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.” . The lesson in this passage is some what similar to yesterday's own. We neglect the fact that God gave us a command to help the poor ones among us. Taking a look at the passage, we get to see that the man has laboured and has harvested so much in return/as a reward. Watch this, God didnt complain about him "labouring"... But about the way he handled his harvest/wealth. Its not bad for someone to labour hard for his dialy living, its not bad for someone to have so much wealth... But the question is, how do you make use of the wealth/harvest that you have laboured for. Do you just stock it up for yourself without putting into account those around you. Do you raise your shoulder so high in the company of others because you feel you have so much, therefore you dont need to be humble in front of anyone. Do you severe your relatonship with your friends/brothers/relations because you feel comfortable with your wealth and so dont need their relationship anymore. Do you associate with people of your class because you see the others as inferior to you. Do you make investment/expenditure just for youself (and your nuclear family) without putting into consideration your relations/neihgbours who are in need. Do you use your wealth to trample on the right of others and surppress justice for the needy. Do you try to build up treasures for yourself in heaven by using the wealth you have here on earth. Remember the bible passage where Christ said we should build up treasures for ourself in heaven where thiefs cannot break in and nothing can destroy it. Today, God is telling us to use our wealth wisely, for we dont know the day that we will leave this earth, and the wealth that we so much cherish and laboured for will end up in the hands of someone who didnt even contribute a dime to it... . We pray today that God will help us to not only build up wealth on earth, but to also build up wealth in heaven so that when we die, our heavenly wealth will be waiting for us... For it is in given that we recieve... 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: A Thread For Catholics by SalC: 7:56am On Sep 23, 2014 |
Rich4god: Day 5Thanks for this.... It is not surprising to see in our world today, that most of us think of acquiring the best of everything we can think of, but we seldom see us trying the best we can to help others, yet it is in helping others we pile up treasures in heaven not by providing excessively for ourselves..... If we can take few minutes break and consider what it means to be "a rich fool" maybe it will instill in us the conciseness to seek more of the heavenly treasure and not cling tenaciously to our earthly possessions. To acquire rich isn't bad but it is wiser to use it for the good of our soul and that of the people who we are privileged to find in their time of need. ... |

So much have passed here, so much to comment on, so many mentions...yet I'll plead dear brethren, that i don't say a thing on them for now. I have been captivated by these posts from Rich4god(hope he gets seun to change the g to G), messages so ancient yet so new. I rather see out the novena to an end, reading these messages as they come each day, and hoping it makes a better me at the end. God bless you all. Goodmorning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all. 1 Like |

Ubenedictus: i'll agree with you that the truth should be defined if it is to be considered objective...most time it should obey a set of rules. That is where it becomes very problematic. For Catholics truth is defined by whatever God chooses to reveal via his Church. For the protestant it may be what they believe God to have revealed through the instrumentality of Sacred scriptures. Muslims may choose to see truth in the light of what they believe God to have revealed through the Quran and the Hadith. Pagans still, may choose a whole set of framework as the objective basis for truth. The Atheist and other irreligious folks may want to see truth only in terms of whatever can be experienced and proven scientifically. For me as an individual I choose to subject myself to whatever God chooses to reveal through his Church, even though it is most times difficult to swallow. Thus, my thoughts on the matter would be that the objective base for which truth should be defined would be God but this cannot be so until everything is revealed and we all see God as he truly is on the last day. But before then my guy, I think the objective base of truth is relative and very subjective. That's my thought for now. If you have any super duper logic or argument to sway me off that line of thought, I would very much want to read it. Ubenedictus: The above defines exactly what it means to be in the middle. I may know more about you than you are ready to admit. |

Did God abandon Adam and Eve at the Garden of Eden? Think critically and review the story in Genesis before answering. cc: ubenedictus, italo, syncan. |

Burmak: Hello fellow catholics am a new member of precious blood apostolate Nice devotion. I'm also a member. i hv been trying to say the chaplets pls i want to know how and where it is appropriate to add my personal intention i will be glad if anyone can help thanks we normally pray the precious blood chaplet immediately after the rosary prayer. It's during the rosary prayers that we pour our intentions. I.e. (lets assume one is about praying the holy rosary) 1 *sign of cross* 2. *come holy spirit...* 3. *ALL INTENTIONS* 4. *I Believe in one God.....* 5. 1 Our father 6. 3 hail Mary 7 Glory be to the Father.. 8. The first Joyful/luminous/sorrowful/Glorious mystery of the holy rosary..., in a nutshell, After laying your intentions during d rosary prayers and are done with the rosary, proceed immediately with the chapter of the precious blood. No need of laying another set of intention because the rosary prayer intentions are intertwined with the precious blood chaplets prayer. Besides, the mysteries of the precious blood chaplets contains beautiful prayer intentions attached to each mystery. Just follow the the guidelines in the prayer book. I hope dis helps. |
