The one on training flak can not be a star like Gigs, Roberto Carlos, or Zidane.\u00a0<br \/>The stars were also boys who learned to play football, and if you ask them now, how can they do a handle like Zidane, sprint with a ball like Gigs, or in the helter-skelter bodies fire such a cannonball as Roberto Carlos and score a goal, they will say it goes on their own, and they have it in their blood.<br \/>Jesus also says today that it goes on its own: \u201cThe earth brings of its own accord harvest: first the stalk, then the ear, and finally the full grain in the class \u201d(Mk 4:28). What did he mean by that? How can the earth bring forth fruit by itself? So that receives semen. This is the only condition that is not expressed externally here. If there is talk of a harvest, so surely the land had to receive the seed, the land had to be good, it must not be a hard way, a stone, or overgrown with thorns, as Jesus says on elsewhere (Cf. Mk 4: 1-9).<br \/>Just as the ground without taking the seed will not yield a crop, like an athlete without training, he will not be a star, so even a man without virtue will not be a good man; without God does not build a paradise on earth. We already had that here in the form of communism. A man without he became a despot and a murderer of God. Another question that comes to mind is: What exactly is the seed&#8217;s acceptance, which will cause the earth to bear fruit on its own? The answer is expressed in Jesus&#8217; words, \u201cThe time is fulfilled. The kingdom of God is approaching. Repent be true of the gospel \u201d(Mk 1:15). That is, building the kingdom of God stands for repentance.<br \/>A man who is exhorted nowadays to enjoy all that he has the world offers itself rightly asks: What is repentance? What does it mean to repent? Repentance is constantly turning away from sin, living the gospel; it is a constant return home to the Father. That is, we must first believe that we are loved by Godchildren redeemed by Jesus Christ, for the good news for man today is: Whatever thug you may have, Jesus died and rose from the dead to live! If we have this truth in our eyes, then repentance is easier for us, for in repentance we will not see a restriction on the part of the Church, but joyous return home, to the Father of all people. This repentance will then cause the kingdom of God to grow. If a person grows in the deeds, in the deeds of good, in the deeds of merit, and thus the building, God&#8217;s kingdom goes by the hand, so to speak, it gets into our blood groups. It goes like a sprint to gigs, handles to Zidan, or shots Carlos. These gentlemen worked hard to make them stars. We, too, are from, in the beginning, we have to try to win over ourselves and do good, right deed, talk to children about God, believe in Him, pray in the rosary family, etc., read something from the Scriptures. The harvest that turns out after a short time balances the effort expended to practice virtues.<br \/>If we grow in virtue, they themselves will cause me to be around us<br \/>to build the kingdom of God, which is the kingdom of love and peace, truth and grace, the kingdom of holiness, justice, and joy. One more word remains to be explained. What is a deed of merit? Meritorious<br \/>an act is a good deed done in a state of sanctifying grace. Only by this<br \/>by deeds, we deserve a reward in heaven, for we can do good deeds as well in a state of mortal sin, but such deeds have no meritorious value. For us, it is important to do meritorious deeds. The Russians say, &#8220;No hardship, you can&#8217;t catch fish from the hardship.&#8221; Slovak proverb: &#8220;There are no cakes without work.&#8221; And that&#8217;s right. Just like footballers, they will not become stars without effort, nor will man build a paradise on earth without God; likewise, without virtue, God will not build the kingdom of God, for it is a virtue that causes us will bring forth the fruit of our own accord. We will build by merit work The kingdom of God.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesus requires each of us to work for ourselves.I&#8217;m sure all athletes will agree with me when I say I can&#8217;t whip up the one who does not train to great football performance.
