Perfecting relationship

 

Holiness is for all

 

Holiness is about our constant ongoing faithful relationship with God, despite our difficulties; sufferings; weaknesses and sins.

 

Holiness count for much about our faithful relationship(1) with God than our virtuous and charitable deeds— how much we love and honour God despite our weaknesses and sins; how much we strive to be at peace with God.

 

Holiness is concerned with a life that is simple, and outstanding in a way that leaves a fragrance of our God relationship, in everything that we do.

 

Holiness calls for being a living witness of God— at all times, in all places.

 

On the path of Holiness, repentance is the first step that brings us closer to God. The commandment of love helps to strengthen and perfect us in our God relationship— making us Holy.

 

 

 

1. An act of honour to God— doing our best in our daily chores and assignments; an act of faith— through prayer and scripture reading; an act of thanksgiving— throughout the day; an act of humble submission, in the reverence of God— especially during difficult moments; an act of forgiveness; an act of sincerity, in the honour of God— strengthens our personal relationship with God. From this wellspring of our love relationship with God, will flow virtuous and charitable deeds— for the welfare of the world.

Less in God— more in sin

 

Everyday a man is becoming less(1) a Man created in the image of God— as he is growing less in God and more in sin.

We are called to be witnesses of God's Love(2) and mercy, in the world— not to get inebriated and drowned(3) in the vanity of the world.

 

1] The more we become 'of the world' — we'll become less familiar with God and more alienated in our relationship with God and people— and more vulnerable to sin.

2] To love, as Jesus Christ has loved us, and to forgive, as Jesus Christ has forgiven us.

3] Vain satisfactions and pleasures of the world seduces our heart to move away from God. It gradually depletes our spiritual strengths— our love for God; mutual understanding; patience; forgiveness; mercy.

Good with God

Let the Faith in your heart; the Joy in your heart and the sincerity of your life, manifest your good relationship with God, throughout your life.

If only young men/women reconcile with God

In the beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, they were ignorant of their self. Their identity was God. Though they were made of flesh and blood, the state of their being was pure.Though they were naked, they were perfectly comfortable with their nakedness, as yet lust was unknown to them.
    But when they ate of the forbidden fruit ( fruit of the knowledge of good and evil ) the state of their body  entirely transformed. They became aware of their self ; they became vulnerable to evil; mortality entered their body. They became ashamed of their nakedness and lust became known to them.
   Man broke with God through his disobedience. And life became a difficult exercise of free will. The more he failed in choosing good from evil ,of his own free will, the more he became vulnerable to sin. Through life of sin, man ( both man and woman ) lost respect for God and HIS creation.

   Thanks be to God for the gift of his Beloved son, our Lord Jesus Christ, Grace came to save us from the slavery of sin.

   In today's world we see men and women complaining against each other- men complain about women's  *indecency in dressing; while women complain about men's lewdness and lack of self-control. The lack of disrespect for each other, is the result of our unfaithfulness to God. In love of God, dignity of mankind and respect for each other is restored. People need to return back to the life of innocence. Only then, the sinful play of Herod ( bad boys; immoral men; perpetrators) , Herodias ( bad girls; immodest women; adulteress ) and Innocent 'John the Baptist' ( good boys/good girls; upright men/women, who  suffer at the cost of Herod and Herodias) will come to an end.

   Only in the love of God, young girls/women will learn to adorn themselves modestly and men will learn to truly love women and treat them with dignity.






* through the original sin, lust entered our being. It is not the body that is distracting , but the lust which dwells in our being, that manipulates our behavior. The 'Tempter' shrewdly acts on our lust, when we are weak in our faith in God and totally devoid of God. The reason, why many youngsters fall into sin and disrespect each others bodies, is because they lack the grace of God, to keep away from sin and they lack the strength of good conscience. We make ourselves puppets in the hands of the 'Tempter', to be manipulated and defiled, owing to our lack of faith in God and good relationship with God. Instead of blaming each other's weakness, it is only prudent to reconcile with God. This is the only solution for the end of " rape culture ".


I would expect young boys/men to take the first step in reconciling themselves with God. Without this, you can't help yourself to be called as " lustful men ".

     And I'll also request young girls/women to keep away from the natural instinct of Eve ( seeking vanity). It was Eve, who first tasted the forbidden fruit and led mankind to sin . And now, those who follow her (Eve ) instincts, taste every kind of vanity. In any case, you don't want yourself to be termed as " brazen ". Do you?

Faithful-Love relationship with God

Our *Faithful-Love relationship with God is a key to Peace; Harmony and Happiness in our Family and in the World.

Our Good relationship with God gives us the Grace to Love and patiently understand every kind of people.

Our Good relationship with God gives us the Grace to bear the weaknesses and shortcomings of the people.

Our Good relationship with God gives us the Grace and the strength to suffer the unjust world.

    If your relationship with God is Good, then everything will be Good for you- nothing, whatsoever in this world will disturb the inner peace of your soul.

* the way you relate with your friends; your colleagues; your spouse; your community- the way you face the hardship of the day-to-day life with reference to God, manifest your relationship with God. Our Life is directly proportional to our " Faithful-Love " relationship with God.
