They have a double side: physically biological and mental. The biological side means organic manifestation, which acts especially in the uncontrollable manifestation of disturbance on the blood circulation or respiratory system, heartbeat, etc. Outwardly it is manifested by movement, gestures, and the like. The psychic side means changes that manifest in consciousness as pleasant or unpleasant. These are feelings that do not indicate passions and feelings but presuppose and express them. Passion or emotion is pleasant or unpleasant for the subject. For good, only love arises as a manifestation of effort. If the good is distant, there is a desire; if the desire is satisfied, there is a manifestation of satisfaction, joy.

There are different feelings. There are feelings of religion, feelings of duty, feelings of morality. The main factor is the intellect. The deepest experiences are religious and metaphysical. In the metaphysical experience, one experiences the ultimate and supreme meaning of things and the world because he acquires things with his inner spiritual light. The experience of bliss lies in the activity of the soul. Therefore, the psychological cause of boredom is always in lack of activity.

They will are distinguished passions of emotion, desire, joy, anger, courage, hope. There is an organic and psychic element in them. A physical change manifests the organic element; the psychic element is apparent after the object’s previous sensory perception, which arouses attraction or resistance; the idea of ​​imagery is also sufficient. Passions guide the will’s feelings, which are based on her spiritual ability, and add a spiritual character to passions. Love, as the expression of the will, is more than the passion of sensory love. Physical beauty arouses the passion of love and is not permanent. It is changeable and can be erased with greater beauty. The spirit can also rise with love to higher supersensible things, to the ideal, to God. Passions and feelings are the driving force behind the action. They affect our lives. However, they do not work the same for everyone. A person’s whole life, and therefore his passions and feelings, must be subject to reason and will because passion affects the human organism and entrains it. That man is as if paralyzed or intoxicated by the power of passion, and so human reason is affected.

Settlement of relationships1
We have entered the final stage in our preparation for the birth of the Son of God Christ.
At the beginning of these last days, we listen to the gospel’s pericope, which is possible most uninteresting. However, we hear only the names of Jesus’ ancestors, from Abraham to Christ (cf. Mathew 1: 1-17).
The genealogy of Jesus Christ shows that the Lord Jesus really came from Abraham’s descendants and David’s family according to the promises made to Abraham and David. “Jesus Christ, Son of David” This means that Jesus, as the king’s son, is himself king. Mathew recalls the First Book of Chronicles, and it says: “When your days come to an end (addressed here is David), and you will go to your fathers, and I will make you a descendant after you, who will be one of your sons. And I will establish his kingdom … I will establish his kingdom forever ”(2 Sam 7:12). These words point to Solomon first, but the word “forever” points far beyond him. We have here mentioned that he is also the son of Abraham. Matthew wants to recall the Book of Genesis and that “All” nations are blessed in Abraham. So Matthew immediately in his first sentence.

The Gospels think that the immense and unimaginable salvation of God is here for all nations. The expression the son of Abraham is found here only once in the Bible. If we really noticed what I said a moment ago, we know that all people are blessed in Abraham. Not only blessed, but it follows that we are all brothers and sisters. Since we are all siblings and one family, it is not our brother and Jesus? Not every family member is happy when a baby is to be born into this family a child? Usually, everyone is looking forward to it how we rejoice that our brother Jesus will be born. We are making peace in this family so that this little child can feel comfortable in our households. Before Christmas, we often see how windows are washed, carpets are beaten, and big cleaning. This may take a week. We want to have everything cleaned out of the box. However, friends will come, Mr. Pastor will come after the carol, carolers will come, and other visits. We must, after all, have it cleaned. At the same time, we often forget to clean up our hearts.

Our brother Jesus is to be born in our hearts, and we are there as if in a dump. Maybe you’re someone he will say: “What this one wants from us, however, there were many of us at confession and at St. receiving us goes so much that it takes longer to give away St. communion, as St. mass. I want it from all of us that we are St. they also associated the confession with the forgiveness of guilt by our neighbors, siblings, and neighbors. Otherwise, this sacrament of reconciliation is invalid, and we weigh even more on our hearts. In addition to entering the finale of anticipating our Brother Jesus’s birth, let us also enter into our new mutual relations.

Peter Kuruc (Brotherhood of Baptists): “While thinking about the meaning of life, I realized that I was missing something. So I started looking for it in many things in this world. I was looking for it in friendship with my friends with whom we weren’t very nice flowers, and sometimes we did what they did. And indeed, there was a time when these childish mischiefs filled me. Over time, however, I had the opportunity to take faith a little more seriously with my parents. My grandmother and I sometimes went to church, but it was just a forced sermon for me to hear a sermon, and it didn’t mean anything to me at the time. It wasn’t until one Sunday that we got to the Evangelism in Nevada, which was in the local BJB church. As always, I played with something during the sermon, and I was not at all interested in what the gentleman up there wanted to tell me by his story. But during the sermon, he mentioned one thought: “Only in Jesus Christ will I find the seeker of the meaning of my life !!!” And this was the thought I needed to hear; these were the words exactly for me. I was wonderfully lucky to find the meaning of my life in God and slowly show me over time what the main mission is for my life, never more than I can bear, but it approaches me quite patiently and with love, and I have the opportunity to learn new things. Things, to rejoice, to have peace, and to come to what I was made for, so I no longer need to ask what is the meaning of my life, because God has shown me this meaning for a long time, perhaps according to what I have written, it can be a mission, it may be a revelation of God, but that’s not it The meaning of my life is not that I learned about God and then showed me what my mission is I believe that man was created to survive a personal and deep relationship with God, to be honest with Him and allow Him to help Him. To fall before Him and say, Father, I give up. The man was created for a personal relationship with God. And in this, I found the greatest meaning of my life. In the fact that I realized that God is not just somewhere, but that He is beside me and is interested in me and I no longer need to ask – Father, why this, or that, why you committed this or that, I want to humble oneself in front of him and accept what he gives me. To accept what he thinks, I am ready to know, and I do not need more. The purpose of my life is a relationship with God. “

Mark, a Catholic: “At the request of my parents, I received sacraments such as baptism, communion, and confirmation. But the further I went, the more I became disgusted with what my parents wanted, and with that came the obligation to attend Holy Mass. And so, during puberty, my successful weightlifting began, and since my parents did not have time for me, especially for work responsibilities, I began to live as much as I could. The first night parties, discos, smoking, alcohol, the first sexual experience, theft, and lies. At the age of nineteen, I managed to find a job with housing. I decided to quit drugs because I was already beginning to experience feelings of anxiety and loneliness. Still, there was an even bigger spread associated with trips to various rock festivals, … Here, I felt that I no longer control myself and tried to change my life through Hinduism, Buddhism, magic, and the like. But all this drew me even more into the darkness, and I often experienced the urge to leave this world – to kill myself. When I returned home, my parents and siblings noticed that I was different and often had sharp exchanges. The nightmare broke through that night, and the yoga exercises did not help, so I also began to pray and ask Jesus that if he existed, he would help me. The next day I left for drug treatment, where I began to pray here and there. I began to feel saddened by what I had caused my family. A friend suggested I go to confession. I went to the priest and said that I would talk. In the end, I confessed everything I could think of at that moment. After the confession, it seemed to me as if everything had fallen from me, all the things I was worried about as if someone had taken away and filled with the joy of living, breathing, that I could walk, that there were people around me. I was overwhelmed by unspeakable happiness that could not be described. For repentance, the priest commanded me to pray a certain prayer. During it, I felt like a voice in my heart, as Jesus was telling me, “You called me that night, so I came.” And that’s when I first experienced that God exists, that Jesus is real and alive even now. I sensed his closeness that he cared about me, understood me, and seeing into my heart, he knew everything I was experiencing. Whenever possible, I prayed, asked Jesus what to do, and asked for help. Things began to change gradually. After two weeks, the doctor wrote in a report that I did not show any withdrawal symptoms after the drugs. But my parents also took me for a special treatment to the second center in Košice, where patients usually spend six weeks. After two weeks, I was told that I could go home if I wanted to, but that I would definitely be back. I still felt God’s power and wisdom in all actions, and daily prayer to be kept in joy and zest for life. After two weeks, I went home and never returned. After these events, my way of life began to change quite significantly. One significant change is that I have had no drug or urge to start again for nine years. Immediately after returning from healing, I began to go to Holy Mass by myself to listen to God’s word, pray, and partake of the sacraments. The girls’ relationship gradually changed (no relationships due to sex and enjoyment – it was a long process of transformation and purification, which in part still takes place). We started a community of young people in our city who desired to live a relationship with God together. Gradually, God led me through various missions – the Missionary School in Podolínec, from there to Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, again a missionary school to a bachelor’s degree at a university the field of missiology. “(In redemptorist.

Bernardone, a Catholic: “Once during the summer holidays, when my girlfriend was abroad, I decided to pray every day. Hello, may the Lord show me, despite Mary’s intercession, what to change or what is wrong. Not a week has passed, and I am beginning to pray again. Taking my grandmother’s book, which just died a few months ago. And a little miracle came. It fell out of my hand when it was opened. I noticed that something else had fallen out of it, some tiny piece of paper, so I cut it under the table to put it back there, but when I picked it up and looked at it, I was stopped by the words on it. Somewhere in the middle of that little text, it was written: Are you a real man? Do you respect your girlfriend if you want her to be as pure as you would like to have your wife? ”It was exactly after I prayed and asked God to show me what was wrong with my life. I have been afraid to answer this question for a long time, and without this event, I do not know when I would have answered it. I always felt reluctant to acknowledge this mistake and sin, so I actually give it up. But on this day, strengthened by prayer and this “accident,” I only felt a chill on my body, and at that moment, I knelt and started praying again. I don’t know if it was a prayer again, or really for the first time in my life. More than an hour, I don’t know exactly, I overlooked the time, confessing to God my grievous sin; it was literally as if I had to cut off a part of myself. But then there was another crying, for joy. Feeling detached from all chains, it was crying from happiness. It seemed to me as if God was embracing me, and prayer was no longer Father or Hail. Still, I whispered and repeated to God; he professed love or just knelt without words. As if he didn’t even think about anything; I don’t know if I went to confession the next or the third day. He was born again. From that weeping night, my whole life started from the very beginning of change, not today. Still, from hour to hour lo, I started smiling, slowly overcoming obstacles that seemed difficult to me before. Especially my two main sins against purity (masturbation and premarital sex) completely disappeared, even though many friends and media articles told me that it was it’s natural. You can’t get rid of it. The temptations have indeed come, and even stronger, but also their smooth handling. Of course, many other sins arose that I hadn’t even noticed before, but even that began to fade and improve slowly. Since then, I have been filled with a desire for God, a desire to believe and prove the impossible. Words from the gospel have been etched in my heart forever, which give me great strength and courage: “If you have faith like a mustard seed and say to this mountain, ‘Get out of here!’ And nothing will be impossible for you. ”(Mathew 17:20)“ (Redemptorists. SK)

Richard Čanaky, bodybuilder, Catholic: “My parents did not raise me in the faith, but through my extended family, I still had the opportunity to learn something about God. My big scarecrow was school. It was my endless match. Elementary school was like a nightmare. At school, I worked my way up to three out of behavior, which at the time was like a crime. Looking in the mirror, I knew I had to do something with my character. I started dancing in folk dances. My great role model was and is my brother. He knew how to work very hard on himself, and that motivated me to perform. When I was about sixteen, I made 3,620 clicks, which was an unofficial world record at the time. That also held me back for a few days. Later, I started bodybuilding, even competitively, and my character suddenly began to take on different shapes. This was also noticed by the peers – which aroused their respect and the girls, which I noticed a lot. Gradually, I wrapped it up and ended up in a kind of consumer-style, where normal untied sex, alcohol, cigarettes, bars, discos, “quotes” life in quotes. Suddenly, in addition to sports, I started jumping headlong into relationships with girls. In addition to everything, I also practiced martial arts. Jet-Kune-Do – this style charms metal. I devoted myself intensively to it, as well as meditations and especially Silva’s method. I had my own homemade battle altar and my black kimono, in which I spent a Christmas and ate rice with chopsticks at the Christmas table. I gave myself to it in body and soul. Since my school landed at freezing and my education ended up in an apprentice without a high school diploma, I worked as a plumber-maintenance worker. I was proud of that job. However, my future wife motivated me to go to evening studies, so in addition to work, I spent the evening again at the school desk three times a week. I thought it would be boring, but this is where my life story began to be written. I sometimes showed my classmates a blow to the wall or chairs, and one guy noticed. We started talking and started asking me about Christianity. He started talking about Jesus. He spoke of himself meeting him, what he is going through now, and what Jesus has for every person who accepts him into his heart. At first, I successfully opposed it, but something inside began to erode me. My evening meditations at the “altar” became chaotic. Something was driving me to the people who led the prayer communities at the rectory. At the first meeting, we knelt and prayed. We didn’t know-how. We did not want to pray classical prayers. We felt a special atmosphere. The presence of someone invisible but strongly present. We wept, and today I know we were touched by the Holy Spirit. My friend also came to our next meeting and prayed with us. He had previously asked us if we would like to know Jesus Christ personally and if we were willing to accept him as our Lord and Savior. My answer was clear, and in this prayer, I already knew that my life was beginning. That prayer was beautiful in what was coming but terrible in what I was leaving. While praying, I fell to the ground and struggled terribly. At one point, time seemed to stop, and I had to decide between darkness and light. However, my decision for Jesus was not easy. As if darkness was pulling me back. It was difficult for me to say the name, Jesus. I tried, but it didn’t work. My friends kept praying, and gradually I got it out of me. At that moment, an indescribable peace filled my interior. My decision was clear. Jesus became my only Lord and Savior. From that moment on, a boulder left my heart, and my shell broke. I started living in the light. Our community has started. I graduated successfully, and we started serving. The music became mine, not a hiding place, but like a terrace, a roof from which I can scream and sing about what God has done for me. The fear of school disappeared, and I went to college. After five years of full-time study, I held a diploma in my hand. That’s when I realized that nothing is impossible for God. Prayer, fasting, family, and fellowship have become my new values, and I have begun to live the life that God has long prepared for me. Today I am married, have a great wife and two wonderful children, a daughter and a boy. I know that Christianity is not a rosy story from a fairy tale but a real reality worth living in. You may say that there are many paths to God. Yes, but only one leads to the supreme – heavenly Father, the one God. That way is Jesus Christ. The Bible speaks of our lives and our many promises in this age and the future. It is a guide to living your life here on earth and building your relationship with God. We are looking forward to heaven, but our time is right here and today. God has a way out for every wandering and uncertainty. Age and the number of sins are not decisive. All you need is your decision, and your life can change. You may say that you do not need a change, that you are satisfied, but then you do not know the adventure that awaits you with Jesus. An adventure with lasting consequences – eternal life. You can decide today. Tomorrow is too uncertain. ”(Richardcanaky. SK)

Only Jesus can help us adequately.
We certainly know a lot of good people in our area. People who set an example in life become a certain model and ideal for us. It can be, for example, a priest or a father family who go to church regularly, or a mother conscientiously caring for children. It can be to tell us that we often idealize these characters, and if they make a mistake, then we
disappoint.

In the Gospels, we could see that John, who had previously preached zealously about Jesus, suddenly doubted that Jesus was really the one he was to announce. In this state, he sends his disciples to Jesus with the question, “Are you the one to come, or should we wait for another?” (Luke 7.20).

John was an ardent preacher. With his sermons, he drew the attention of the nation and gathered them to Jordan. Well, John didn’t think about himself. He thought of the one he was preparing the way for. And even if he became great in men’s eyes, he made a small statement in humility: which I am not worthy to untie on a shoe strap. ” After a while, John’s powerful voice at Jordan fell silent. He was suddenly in the dark. He got into the darkness of prison for the truth he preached and into the darkness of doubt about whom he came to report. At first glance, John disappointed us with his attitude and condition. We ask ourselves: How is it possible that John’s straight finger on Jesus slowly crouches and gets the shape of a question mark? Why did John doubt? We don’t know exactly what to say; let’s try to think together. The circumstances of the environment influence our actions, and thus for one reason, there could also be a prison environment. Maybe we could blame him for not connecting consistently enough all the Scripture places and then subsequently had no certainty. The strongest reason that caused a doubt about Christ was his own ideas about him. We know that John represented Christ as holding the egg in his hand to separate the grain from the chaff. He represented him as a just, uncompromising judge who uses justice, force. He overlooked, however, that Jesus brought peace, love, and mercy to this earth. And these are their own misconceptions that caused a crisis in John.

We also know from ourselves that we also get into a crisis from time to time into doubts. The reasons may be different. Outrage, perhaps false notions of Christ and their religion, which when they break into us, cause doubt. We have to realize that today’s gospel is not just about portraying us that anyone can get in doubt. We know this intimately from everyday life. Today’s gospel is about chow to address these doubts. Exactly as John solved them. He was looking for a way to find out the truth. He sends his disciples as he could not come straight to Jesus alone. Yes, this is the only way we should deal with our crises properly. Look for ways like prayer study, look for people who could help us and explain things.

It is not difficult to notice when someone is making a mistake or in crisis. It’s harder to notice him as this man fights for his faith and solves these problems. But probably the hardest thing is, try these things on yourself. Let us ask at this Holy Mass to be in these when they were not left alone, but to look for ways to remove doubts. Let us not forget that we will find the best help with Christ. 

In today’s world, it works by being superiors and those to whom it is commanded. It is therefore quite normal that the employer sends his work where he needs, his father-son…
Today’s gospel begins in a somewhat unconventional way, with the question Jesus asked: “What will you say it? ”(Mathew 21:28). With this question, he wants to provoke us to be, so we know, and so often heard the parable of the two sons not only heard and caught again, but they also thought about him.
A father sends his two sons to work in his vineyard. One replied, “I’m going, Sir, ” but in the end, he did not go; the other did not want to, but then regretted it and corrected it by that he went to the vineyard. Which of these did the Father’s will? (cf. Mathew 21: 28-32). From this parable, the first son, the reverent one who cares for outward flawlessness and behaves towards his father very nicely, should have imagined the Pharisees who speak but do not act. We would be here nowadays to include those Christians who want to gain God’s favor and reward with beautiful words, words, flattery, but they do not try to pick up what God specifically wants from them. That’s unusual
addressing the Father as “Lord” reminds us very much of Jesus’ words, “He will not enter into The Kingdom of Heaven who calls me Lord, Lord… ”(Mathew 7:21).

The second son first defies his father’s wishes but then regrets it and corrects his mistake. He represents those who, though they grieved God for a long time, believed, and they changed their mindset and life.
The parable lost nothing of its temporality. It belongs to us too. He admonishes us to be ours. His relationship with him was manifested not only by words and beautiful prayers but above all by deeds.

There must necessarily be a connection between deeds and prayer. Prayer means when we seek God’s will and strength to accomplish it, but concrete actions must follow this. I met a lady who spent most of her time sitting in church. Maybe to the eye, very much
nice, because spending time in prayer in the church is a pretty big thing. But later, I learned that this lady prayed a lot, but at the same time, she neglected her husband and did not take care of the household at all. We ourselves feel that such a religion is not good. We are also adoptive children of God.  All today God sends to the vineyard of daily life to work. To the vineyard of your soul, to the vineyard of his family, the vineyard of his work, the vineyard of his Church… “What shall we say to that? ” We call out so soulfully“ Yes Lord, I want to change, I want to do good, but when we enter the old tracks of everyday life, so there our efforts fail? Or in humility, too, at this holy mass, we will beg for strength for some specific deed that is happening. Will we try to do it today? What can we say about that? Which son are we going to look like? Everyone must answer; it will be best to do it now and by concrete action. If we properly analyze both sons, we must admit that neither is for us an ideal. We get the ideal only by combining both. We get the right idea about true religion, which works according to God’s will are the goal and prayer of the first an irreplaceable means. What do you say to that? God calls us to perfection. We don’t want to get as close as possible to the ideal model, “I’m going, Father, and are we going?”.

We know human nature as the seat of life, sensory perception and impressions, and mental activity. The principle of all this is the soul. The soul’s basic element is thinking in its entirety of the whole inner event with feelings, perceptions, desires, and desires. Not only feelings and sensations are engraved in the plan, but also feelings of Passion. The sense is a passive ability that takes the impetus. The soul realizes the thing only from an external stimulus. By knowing things, the soul is put into action. The stimulus is the cause that the passive state of the brain’s working soul goes into an active state. Sleep is the rest and reinforcement of the whole brain tool. The sensory knowledge of things and the mind and will interfere and affect life’s sensory side. If a thing is attractive to the sensory, it loses its attraction if it affects the mind with its reasoning and clarifies the exact opposite. Reason understands the essence of good and evil. The will is controlled by force; it can choose more perfectly than sensuality. In proper life, it determines the direction. The will has the driving force. The will determines the direction and moves to the actions that the mind has established. Unbridled imagination and passion diminish the determination of the will. If we do not remember, there is a disease of the will caused by a natural state. A weak person will not control himself; he cannot submit his activity and life to a serious goal. Then, instead of order, instability, and fickleness arise. There is a lack of intellectual energy; the will is then subject to various stimuli, which sometimes take away free decision-making.

Rejoice in the Lord continually! I repeat: Rejoice! Let your meekness be known to all people. The Lord is near. Don’t worry about anything. But in everything, through prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving, make your requests to God. And God’s peace, which transcends all understanding, will save your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philipp 4,4-7

It is not very easy to talk about joy because we all long for it, and it is the inability to achieve it that fills us with sadness. To rejoice, it is probably best to see that drills cannot achieve growth in companies. Namely, every pressure on yourself, every “you have to” and “try more” distracts us from joy. On the contrary, calming down, surrendering to God, leaving our lives back to the Heavenly Father brings us joy.

Before my eyes, I still have a commemorative discipline about the joy I had as a chaplain on Easter Sunday. I had a discipline of joy ready. But when I saw those bored, sleepy faces of people at Mass at 6:30, I burned with unprecedented anger at the announcement of the good news. After Mass, the churchman greeted me with the words, “Lord Chaplain, you had a beautiful discipline. You just did it – you have to rejoice! – they said as if you were whipping us. ” Yes, joy cannot be forced; it is fruit. It is the fruit of a deep inner union with God. It is the fruit of experience at Christ’s feet.

Let’s try to think about it. Since God called me to life, I can’t be. Whatever I do, I will always want him. He will always think of me; he will always surround me with his presence; he will long for my salvation until I reach it. Isn’t that amazing? He thinks of me personally. Not for humanity, not for the mass of “ants” running around here now in 2020, but for me personally, who is now sitting at a computer, writing catechisms and thinking about what he still has to do before going to spiritual exercises. He thinks of me and says – I don’t need your catechists. I don’t need you to die and save people for people or me. I need you. I want to love you, and I want you to be happy. This is one of the most beautiful and liberating knowledge. Of course, if we don’t experience this in person, we listen to it all the time, then it can fill us with anger. I didn’t ask the world here! Why am I here when life is just torment effort …? The Last time I even listened to the thoughts of a philosopher who said that it is always better not to be than to be because when you are not, you do not know of joy, but also of suffering. But when you are, you can experience both joy and suffering. And when you experience what little suffering, it does not balance any joy. I marvel at how bad it can lead us when we do not seek the presence of God in our lives and try to find a source of joy ourselves.

As the French thinker Leon Bloy wrote, joy is the most reliable sign of God’s presence. Many things in our lives can please us, but joy is never a pleasure. C.S. Lewis said, “Joy is never in our power, enjoyment is. I doubt that anyone who has already experienced it would be able to exchange it for all the pleasures in the world. “Note that our religion goes completely against today’s world:

The world believes that happiness will find immediate sexual gratification, and Christ invites us to purity.
The world believes that without non-commitment, the freedom to do what I want, with whom I want, and as I want, happiness cannot be achieved, and Christ invites obedience.
The world believes that we will achieve happiness if we have, and Christ invites us to poverty.
The world believes that progress can only be made if we are pragmatic and utilitarian, and Christ invites us to waste time in prayer.
The world assumes that everyone should take care of themselves first and their own comfort; Christ invites self-sacrifice to the cross.
The believer somehow subconsciously agrees with every single offer of Christ. Although his wounded nature often rebels against it, he eventually admits that Christ is right. It is incomprehensible, but there is more joy in that purity, poverty, and obedience than anywhere else. And it is the established desire for sex, wealth, and freedom that robs us of the most joy. St. Paul is right. “God’s peace truly transcends all understanding.” (Philipp 4.7)

WHERE am I LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS?
How do I imagine a happy person?
What is the difference between pleasure and happiness?
How do I perceive the challenge of St. Paul: “Do not be anxious about anything”?
How could I apply this challenge in my life?

The events that took place in an “impossible way” are in direct conflict with the laws of nature. As such, they cannot be explained other than by the direct intervention of a “programmer” who, through a direct, externally entered “keyboard command,” affects the running of our “virtual Universe” in a way that is absolutely unacceptable to the Universe itself!

Lourdes
They are probably the most famous contemporary place of miracles and, in a sense, their synonym. Tens of thousands of miracles, of which about 3,000 are very well documented—a three-stage examination of miracles by two commissions of scientists and finally by a church commission. So far, 67 healing have met the criteria for a so-called “undoubted miracle”: The disease must be diagnosed accurately, unequivocally, and professionally before recovery and must be clearly documented.

The diagnosis must be final and definitive (for example, The current state of paralysis is final, and there is no possibility for it to change).
It must be a physical, organic disease. Healing must be immediate and abrupt, without the need for any subsequent gradual recovery. For example, an irreversibly paralyzed person suddenly gets up from a wheelchair and is completely healthy at that moment. It must be healing that clearly contradicts the laws of nature and the laws of development and reactions of the organism and the course of the disease itself. If a patient has undergone any form of treatment for anything, it must be completely ruled out that healing may be the result of, or even supported by, such treatment. Healing must be complete and permanent. Therefore, such a case is always re-investigated one year after the miracle. And, of course, there must be a connection between healing and prayer, and the healed himself must clearly state that he considers “something of a spiritual nature” to be the cause of healing.

Examples:
The first miracle of 67: “Louis Bouriette was born in 1804. In March 1858, he was 54 years old and lived in Lourdes at the time of his recovery. Bouriette, a stonemason, suffered irreversible damage to his right eye during an explosion in a quarry in 1839, in which his brother was killed next to him. The left eye’s visual ability also gradually weakened, after which Bouriette joined the postal express service from Cozenage, where Bernadette Soubirous’ father also worked as his colleague. When he heard of a new spring of water in the cave of Massabiella, which appeared on February 25, 1858, he was fully convinced that he would get help from there. So he asked his granddaughter, who was friends with Bernadette, to bring him some of the water that had washed Bernadette by the Virgin Mary’s order. The next course is reported by a doctor and the first “medical expert” from Lourdes, Dr. Dozous, who recorded Mr. Bourietto’s statements: “As soon as Bernadette dug a spring in the cave country that heals so many sick people, I wanted to get to this water to heal my right eye. When I obtained this water, I prayed to our dear Lady of the Cave and humbly and earnestly asked her to help me, washing my eye with the right hand with the water that came from her spring. In a short time, I washed and washed my right eye several times, and after these washes, I could see as well as I do now. ” Medical opinion: The attending physician, Dr. Dozous, confirmed in his report the irreversible loss of vision of Louis Bouriett’s right eye. Diagnosis: Complete blindness of the right eye due to an explosion injury. Prognosis: No prospects for a cure (infaust quad with valetudinarian). Treatment: Treatment and treatment of injuries. Method of recovery: Sudden, complete, and permanent, medically inexplicable. “

Knowing the present moment.
It is quite normal to have people with whom we come into contact more often, and enough we know them well, we come and approach them with a certain assumption of how they will react. We anticipate their response, their reactions, or their behavior. Therefore, we are amazed if someone will behave exactly the opposite, as we expected. High priests and elders of the people come to Jesus with a question. We, as observers of these events, we would probably expect a response from him. She did come, but a little different from what we would be, they assumed. It was unconventional and surprising. “I will not tell you by what power this is I do ”(Mathew 21:27).

Stubbornness? Accuracy? Or cook pride? Why did Jesus so “write off” these people? After all, he should be the one that suits everyone. He is the one whom the Father sent to the people taught to answer questions. And suddenly, such reluctance on his part. To better understand this reaction of Jesus, we need to put ourselves in a better situation found. Jesus comes to the temple. The courtyard is crowded with people, but not only with people. They are their things that have nothing to do with faith and have nothing to do with the temple. Jesus found sellers there, money changers and cattle. Jesus burns with righteous anger and casts them out. To the High Priests, who thought they were the only teachers in the nation, seemed to interfere in their craft, and therefore they ask: By what power do you do this? Where did you learn that you are changing so far practices and rules? We ourselves feel that this question was not honest at all. In fact, they knew who Jesus was and where he had power from, but they wanted to push him into the tight; they wanted to make fun of him in front of the people. Jesus sensed that they were insulted by their question and attitude, that they had weak faith, and therefore, it does not respond.

Silence is also the way God wants to speak to us. It goes on gradually. First, by its example, by its life, it arouses the interest of observers. If he doesn’t address it, he tries to learn, encourage, or admonish with your words. If we are not sensitive, it can happen to us God withdraws to be silent. And that is the last way God speaks to us. Maybe we sometimes feel as if God has forgotten about us. Maybe we would expect him more to address us, advise us, and help solve the problem. We ask God questions, but God is silent. It’s hard to bear then, and we ask why. Let’s not despair if it’s in itself we will notice, but let us be grateful for this way of God’s speech. It’s good if we caught this the last chance to realize that the fault is not in God, but us. In our way of laying questions to God that are more provocative or reproachful, or even our insensitivity when God speaks to us. We must realize that if we are not sensitive, then God will withdraw and is silent.

Let us pray for a strong faith even at this Holy Mass if we find ourselves in such a mood so that we have enough strength to return to where we have ceased to be receptive to God’s voice. To his example, to his word, which clearly tells us what and how to act.
