God rightly asks us to approach life responsibly."},"content":{"rendered":"<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not only did Jesus tell his disciples, &#8220;Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also&#8221; (Luke 12:34). Jesus teaches responsibilities for the values \u200b\u200bentrusted to him. The challenge to approach life on earth responsibly. At the end of time, he explains his second coming with two images of daily life: the householder&#8217;s vigilance before the thieves and the care of servants who await the return of their master from the wedding feast, when he comes and knocks on the door.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">We receive advice from the Gospels, instructions to use our hands to enrich ourselves by working for others. For us, Jesus&#8217; words are a memento: &#8220;He who has received much will be required of much, and to whom he has been entrusted with much will be demanded more&#8221; (Luke 12:48).<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have you read that up to 100 people can be called suicides per 100 people? Why? Because they sleep little, they sit in a smoky room; they are poisoned by alcohol, they overeat, they spend a long time sitting in front of the TV and others &#8211; drugs, games &#8230; Let&#8217;s not underestimate the bondage of the senses, sex. Even 99 out of 100 people do not live today. Some can&#8217;t get rid of the past; others are worried about the future. And the present moment, the present life they do not live, they spoil, they make themselves uncomfortable, and therefore such a life cannot be called art! Let us not be the gravediggers of our happiness. Jesus&#8217; words apply: &#8220;Be ye that wait for your lord &#8230;&#8221; (Luke 12:37).<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How often, therefore, personal, family, and social happiness falls. It is right to learn to live with others. To be able to watch over your senses, reactions, feelings, will, nature. To be masters of your nerves, to have them under control. He who knows how to live properly does not lose sight of the clear and noble goal of life because again and again, he learns to be before God, the people, and himself the child of God. The art of living teaches us to manage oneself, demands, requirements, values. Yes, it is necessary to have the right teacher, demanding, strict, who loves and to whom we are to return the love by our obedience, fidelity, the fulfillment of his will. It&#8217;s Teacher &#8211; Jesus. Life is not a game, but constant cooperation, readiness to meet the expected. The world will be enriched by the human art of living. Jesus&#8217; words lead to appropriate responsibility: &#8220;He who has received much will desire much, and to whom he has entrusted much, he will desire more&#8221; (Luke 12:48).<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The responsibility for the nation lies with the president, the prime minister, the deputy, but also every person. The bishop, the priest, but also every believer in the diocese are responsible for their diocese. That&#8217;s the way it is in the family, at work, at school. He who considers life a great gift from the Lord God&#8217;s responsibility approaches the events in his life. Therefore, a wise Christian learns from the mistakes of others and lives fully with God. This is how the principle of the &#8220;art of living&#8221; is implemented.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only did Jesus tell his disciples, &#8220;Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also&#8221; (Luke 12:34).
