Jesus accepted an invitation to the house of the Pharisee. He did not shy away from anyone and knew how to get each Pharisee. Thus, he showed his feeling and kindness to man. Suddenly, however, among the present appeared a sick man. Whether he was invited as a guest or came alone, the gospel does not speak of it. He had a water lily, which was a sign of difficulty heart and kidney disease.

The gospel says that the Pharisees and scribes present they watched Jesus the whole time he came, what he would say and do. Especially now, they sharpened their attention when a sick man came. Indeed, many surprised the thought, “It is the Sabbath; it may heal him.”

Jesus seemed to know what they think in their hearts and asked them, “Free to heal on the Sabbath, is it not?” (Luke 14: 3) There were differing views among the Jews on this question. Generally, it was thought that healing was not allowed on Saturdays if it was not possible about death’s danger. The Pharisees also held this view, but they did; perhaps it isn’t enjoyable to say it out loud in this very situation. Maybe that is why it is said: “But they were silent” (Luke 14, 4a). Strict Pharisees forbade the rescue on Saturday of an animal that fell into a tank or well. They were only allowed to feed him and wait for the end of Saturday, that is, at six o’clock in the evening. Milder Pharisees allowed the animal to save now. Jesus said to them, “If any of you fall into a good son or ox, will he not pull it out even on the Sabbath?” (Luke 14: 5)

In this question, Jesus agreed that if something like this happens, it may be an animal to save. And if that happens to a person, no one doubts that he needs to be saved all the more. All the more so when it’s your child. And a sick person needs to refuse rescue? But they could not answer him (cf. Luke 14: 6). Jesus, he gave them a clear answer by taking the sick man, “he healed him and released” (Luke 14: 4b). Jesus had previously asked, “If any of you have a son falling into a well …” if your son falls into the well. God accepted us as His children. We have become God’s sons and daughters out of his love. And so, God reveals that He cares for every person. He is figuratively restless if any of his sons.

When someone reminds you of something, how do you react? Jesus also responds. Someone said to Jesus, “Get out of here, go away” “(Luke 13:31) …?

There is no place in faith for risk, underestimation, sinful calculation, and so on. It is necessary not to lose the right judgment, perspective, and persevere in the good to the end. However, such a life is not impossible. The Christian is convinced of the timeliness of Jesus’s words: “My yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light” (Mt 11:30). Therefore, it is not enough to decide for God’s kingdom once in a lifetime, and only once to remember it once a day, but not to lose sight of the soul in all the duties and events of the day and to have a fixed gaze on God and to fulfill his will.

God’s love is so great that not only does he seek the sinner again, he gives him a new grace to begin again, but he goes after the sinner as a “good shepherd” behind a stray sheep and opens his arms like a “good father” when he greets the prodigal son. Let’s remember St. Paul. Jesus is waiting for the persecutor at the gate of Damascus. St. While listening to St. Ambrose’s disc plow with entirely different motives, Augustine found his God traveled from Carthage to Milan. St. Magdalena of Cortana found God looking at the decaying body of her illegal husband. And others in similar situations and others when they accepted God’s voice and no longer renounced it but protected it as their treasure.

Behold, as it began from St. Edit Stein, a convert from Judaism. In Frankfurt, Edit met her girlfriend. They decided to see the city. She was most impressed by the cathedral. What stuck in her mind? It was not the beauty of architecture, sculpture, or paintings, but an abandoned woman who, immersed in prayer, knelt in a church. For India, this is the first revelation of God present in Catholic churches. He will say about it later: “It was something completely new for me. I will never forget that.”

We realize that if we genuinely seek God, we protect the treasure of our faith. Not everyone finds him at the same age for the role of his life. St. Dominik Sávio, the patron saint of ministers and boys, found him on the day of his first St. communion when you wrote in your prayer book, “I’d rather die than sin.” And a rascal on the cross in the last hour of his life, when he turned to Jesus with a plea, “Jesus, remember me when you come to of his kingdom “(Luke 23:42). We all have to work on the role of our lives.

In today’s technological world, it is unthinkable for us to underestimate statistics. They help solve many tasks. Already in the Old Testament, we read about the census of people with different responses, even with God’s punishment. People are also curious.

The question of an unknown man from the crowd for Jesus also speaks of this: “Lord, are there few who will be saved” (Luke 13:23)? To ask them correctly. But to ask sensibly. And the answers? The question addressed to Jesus must have been a shock to The Jews were convinced that it was enough to be a Jew, and they had individual salvation. They expelled the Gentiles from salvation. The question itself reveals that it is not possible to obtain the kingdom of God automatically. Jesus hears the problem but does not answer immediately and directly. He knows that giving any answer would raise several unnecessary and unsatisfactory questions. Jesus’ response is in three statements: about the “tight gate,” about the “locked door” before the virgins, and about the “admission” of all nations to the kingdom of God. A more important thing than the question of the number of salvation known only to God is the salvation of the one Jesus says: “Strive to enter through the narrow gate … Many will try to enter, and will not be able” (Luke 13:24).

There is a gateway to heaven that is open to all. Everyone is invited to go through it. So, it is not a gate similar to cities or palaces, it can also be compared to a pass, but here it is a spiritual gate. God does not exclude anyone. Vice versa. God wants everyone to go through this gate. However, the one who keeps God’s commands will pass through the gate because “faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). Acts of man that is the way. Man has a duty to listen to God, to love, and to do his will. , a false philosophy, a bad example of others, such a path and a gate leading to damnation (cf. Mt 7:13). Always be prepared for death. This way of life requires a lot of strength. No one will be tested beyond his power. Disgust, laziness will be the most common obstacle for people not to pass through the gate. Jesus’ words are not against anyone Every person is the engine of his happiness not only on earth but also for all eternity Salvation is such a serious thing that it should not be underestimated, postponed But on the contrary, God created every man in his image, that is, every man will be judged according to how he responded to God’s voice with his reason and will, Jesus teaches this in the parable of the wise and unreasonable virgins (cf. 25: 1n). God led the time of trial, and man cannot avoid it.

Yes, many resign. Faithfulness and perseverance to Christ pay off.

 Matter, in all its manifestations, shows unity and harmony, which can be expressed by the concept of the whole. The whole is more than a summary of the section. The mass in its organization gets different quality. All organisms are aligned in their entirety with other events. The immense forces of a sieve build a material animal world. Molecules from atomic chaos in its atomic composition a particular order; from this order, life makes a higher, more complex order. When these crystals are grouped into macromolecules from the mass, a kind of higher form is formed, already living and in further development comes an even more perfect way of vegetative life than, for example, in the case of an element of the amoeba, which already develops essential functions of vegetative life. Another stage of the performance of the matter’s life capacity is a plant or animal cell, which, when merging with a section of another sex, creates a higher, more complex plant or animal organism in which rich psychic events, even if only vegetative and sensory, develop. Such a perfect animal or plant is already equipped to create germs again capable of development to the ideal being of the same species. There is unity between the matter of the body and the animal’s life principle so that the living organism forms a whole. Each species, each individual, lives its species or individual life. The dynamics of life occur under the constant tension of two poles: the tendency to live and the tendency to die. In the case of an animal, the vegetative or sensory soul comes from matter; namely, the possibility of the Creator inserted into the mass and carried out under certain conditions and no doubt, at least as far as the first occurrence of life is concerned, also thanks to God’s particular direct creative intervention. Life is examined, even with the use of a unique, direct intervention of God. The plant’s soul and the plant and the living body disappear decomposition or incapacity the body’s mass to matter the body. Because by its whole activity, it is also bound to matter by existence, by its entire activity, also reality – bound to count).

We live in the desire that when we are sick and perhaps elderly, dying, we will receive with faith the sacrament of the sick, the sacrament of reconciliation, and the Eucharist. We, believers, expect the kingdom of God after living on earth. The Lord Jesus spoke of his kingdom to the parables’ multitudes: Of the mustard seed and the leaven Luke 13, 18-21.

In addition to these parables, Jesus points out the value of God’s kingdom in words of the “precious pearl” of the “householder” who brings new and old things from his treasury. The parables of Jesus have a deep meaning and point out that man should do everything to obtain God’s kingdom.

The “treasure” hidden in the field teaches that every person should see in the kingdom of God a treasure that is to become his life effort to obtain it. The parable of the “pearl” teaches that anyone who wants to gain the kingdom of God must mobilize their powers, reason, and other talents to obtain the kingdom of God. Another parable about the “network” teaches that all who have chosen the kingdom of God as their goal and the highest value have chosen the best. Legends reveal the greatness of God and the importance of his kingdom. One should realize that one should do everything to participate in gratitude in the kingdom of God. Man’s life is likened to a field in the parable. As a farmer working in the area from the beginning, when he prepares the earth, when he sows the seed, he is already enjoying the harvest, he already sees the meaning of his work, the calluses and the sweat of his face the rich harvest. And so the man in his life, in all his events, should not lose sight of the kingdom of God. Man, and especially the believer, should not forget that life on earth does not end with death. Everyone has their own soul. He is to use everything for her to be rich in grace, merit: “Gather treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys them, and their thieves do not conquer and steal” (Mt 6:20). The kingdom of God is a value for which it pays to endure shame, misery, fear, sickness, pain, and loss of life on earth, and not to be afraid to overcome oneself when temptation, sin.

A Christian and every human being, when he discovers the treasure mentioned by Jesus in his life, is willing to hide and protect the treasure. Every day he realizes the value of his treasure. He does not forget its value. He still draws strength and courage not to lose the treasure. He lives in the idea: “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” (Mt 6:33). We need to know and establish ourselves in the hierarchy of values ​​of our lives. Not everything that seems valuable is worthy of gold because not everything that shines is gold, and the treasure, looking superficially, does not look like a treasure.

The history of the relationship between science and Faith is very varied, instructive, and often dramatic. There are several well-known “cases” (e.g., “Galileo case”), in which the words of a well-known phrase were filled that every time science touched Faith, it sparkled. This spark several times it grew into flames in which human victims also found themselves. I’m on. Are we looking at these events from the current standpoint? They’re done definitively in some cases, or persist to the present, whether are even new ones emerging? It turns out that there are all three questions positive answers.

The “Galileo case” has ended, and if we can use it, sports terminology ended in victory for secular science. The ecclesiastical hierarchy recognized that the Earth revolves around the Sun and not The Sun around the Earth. On the contrary, the victory of the theological view of ours the universe the case of “eternity or time constraint of the universe” has ended because science itself has proven that our universe is well-defined the beginning and will undoubtedly have the end. It can be stated that the controversy over the less publicized case ended amicably.

“Harmony versus chaos,” although even theology now admits that God has brought into our universe not only harmony but also the interested achievement of his goals, also arranged chaos in him. Although the case seems to be “evolutionism versus creationism, “it has already ended in victory at the scientific level of the first of these opinions. However, it is still possible to register as well the existence of a large group of opponents of this view. Still, there is a “struggle” between theism and atheism, which started from the same source – from the so-called Newtonian ism. Finally, we are currently witnessing the emergence of a new case, which may be brief to call the “case of life.” It is essentially a dispute between science and Faith when a person’s life actually begins.

The pragmatic outcome of this case is an opinion on whether it is possible or impossible to manipulate human so-called tribal cells. I mean all the above problems in this publication in more detail. However, there is another interesting question that we will try to search for an answer. It concerns the nature of the interrelationships between sciences and Faith and their development. How to characterize nature in general of these relationships? They are relationships expressing indifference, mutual competition, antagonism, or complementarity? We will see that in various historical stages, this has changed quite significantly. At the end of the last century, Faith believed intensively will not survive the year 2000 because science will solve all the mysteries by then interested in both sides. This did not happen and to the surprise of many in mutual relations appears on many issues’ convergence, in another complementarity. However, this does not mean that everything is already clear and that science and Faith have found their autonomous areas so that they are not mutually exclusive. Still, in their conclusions, on the contrary, they support it.

The relationship between science and Faith has been in the past very lively and interesting, as it is today and probably as well will continue to be so in the future, so it needs to be addressed and to get acquainted with objective and unbiased information about it. We see the main meaning and purposefulness of writing this publication in a name whose word “versus” evokes a certain clash of knowledge, science, and Faith. It would aim to replace that name entitled “Cooperation between science and faith.” That would be the fulfillment of the conviction of Pope John Paul IL, which in the encyclical “Fides et Ratio.” expressed in words:
“Faith and reason are like two wings through which the human spirit elevates to a contemplation of the truth.”

This publication’s content is possible then briefly defines it as a treatise on the flapping of these wings.

Our morality teaches us that love triumphs over the duty to the law. But we know that God is Love.

They did not want to admit this and stubbornly upheld their synagogue performance laws when the Lord Jesus healed a sick woman on Saturday who had been hunched over for 18 years and could not straighten out. He said, “The woman is free from her sickness” (Luke 13:12). Because of this, there was a sharp exchange of views between Jesus and the synagogue leaders about the celebration of the Sabbath rest. To the kingdom of God, rejecting his calls for repentance, and stubbornly upholding his outward understanding of religion. Because he would be thirsty, he can understand this, but he cannot understand helping another – the help that the Lord Jesus has shown to this sick woman. What can be delivered to an animal cannot be directed to a person. A beautiful example is the far-reaching consequences of the love of the Lord Jesus and the rigidity of the sections of the Law of the Nation’s Leaders. Egyptian captivity. Therefore, even the head of the synagogue was to rejoice that one of the nation’s sisters had found relief from her illness. The performer certainly did not have to be a wrong person, but he was very clingy to the regulations and knew little about love. For him, the prescription was more than an act of love.

After this explanation, let’s think about it. Don’t we resemble the superior of the synagogue? Aren’t we just prescribing? It can be an opportunity for us to say goodbye to the orthodox faith. Adults, try to develop your confidence, give up childish ways, and start living your time’s trust. To live one’s religion means living it new and new, always young and enriching. We have to get rid of such thoughts that still bother someone that faith belongs to the Middle Ages, that it does not appeal to young people, that it is distant from the mentality of man.
On the contrary, we witness that faith for one who seeks to know and understand it better becomes a generous impulse in life and helps him solve problems. The Lord Jesus healed a sick woman just on Saturday. So he brought a new atmosphere to Saturday’s celebration. The Church does not depart from Christ’s teachings when she understands the temporal and regional needs of believers.

For us, Sunday is a day of work-rest, but that does not mean that we are idle. It’s a day to experience a family community. A day to deepen your knowledge of the faith. It is a day when we can visit and use the meeting to cover up, encourage, strengthen, or cause joy to the sick and elderly.

There is nothing rigid in the matter, calm, finished, but everything is in constant developmental motion; vegetative and sensory souls can exist only in connection with the case. After the extinction of the organism, their soul ceases only on time. It remains in a latent state(until new chemical and physical conditions come in for plants’ new life- animals and humans, however, in the way of man, a common-sense soul that forms a unity with a vegetative and sensory soul. The latter is a higher-order, and when matter disintegrates, it is after death can live separately from the body and do its functions without substance. The human soul with reason and Willis immortal and has a divine origin. From this faith, derive the high values of Christianity as equality of social society members beforehand, fraternity, love for neighbor. This is where the great function of religious faith begins. The most effective form of active intelligence is God.

God is the originator and maintains a great material and living world. Primary matter acquired its activity and necessary properties. Fundamental particle matter, siton, was equipped with its order, plan, organization. These light particles of the primary matter were organized into protons, electrons, macromolecules, molecules, cells of organs, up to the life of animals and humans. For his life chemically, physically, and especially vividly.

God has been given a living principle- an expedited force, which, of the given ideas, plan and order, generate energy, silliness, and matter with all the characteristics and potency of life – to develop the mental mightiness of the vegetative and sensory and physically primarily animal If the creature’slowest spirituality gives rise to matter, the matter is a prime matter – a sitone- essentially a spiritual formation to carry out all concrete plant and animal.
