Reflection - 23 Nail Your Failure

                     Nail Your Failure

Once there was a person who often fails in what he was doing. One day......

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Do you think that I am going to tell a story...????

Nah....

But there are persons not only 'once' but also 'now and then' faces failure. 

It is easy to say Failure is the stepping stone to success. But it is very difficult to take up things lightly. 

We put our hard work, practice day and night, put all our efforts but at the end of the day we fail...

Is it so easy to say Let go dude, do well next time?

Yet another day of practice breaks you down too lower than before. Experiencing such insults and pain amidst all our efforts is a great havoc in our life. 

Yet what made us fail in that life sport. Have you ever thought of that? 

Most of the time we practice like others for their competition but we forget to compete with us first. 

You know, Jesus is an utter failure in this world, he was tempted, rejected, angry, scolded as glutton and possessed, prodigal, eating and walking with sinners... at the end he was given the worst death of crucifixion. 

What made him so successful till now.....

His own way of being human.

He died... Yes... But he never stopped with that.... He resurrected from the human failure to a divine success. 

We need our own moral way of becoming success. You may die for failure but resurrect to be successful.

Let's pray:

Jesus the Lord of resurrection be my soul and renew me for a new of success in you. Amen.

Reflection - 19 Find God in Pain

                      Find God in Pain

It would be very nice to have a volunteered company when we feel bored. At the same it would be so annoying when someone accompanies us to talk when we are almost on bed to sleep. 

Human actions are horribly situational. Mostly we act according to our wants and not according other's needs. 

Sometimes it will be terribly devastating when someone comes and spoils all our well planned schedule. 

At that time most of our's reaction would be "Oh Shit! Who the hell called him/her now?"

The only heavenly being who had lived a complete human life in this world is Jesus Christ. He put himself into the shoes of the other and experienced their pains. 

If you want to cry, Jesus will never stop you from doing it. He lets you cry, shed away the brokenness of heart by the tiredness of the body, and finally he comes to give a consoling caress. It is merely a human way of dealing with our emotions.

At times we feel God wants us to suffer. But it is not so. God wants us to relax. Nobody wants us to disturb while we experience pain though our mind expects for a company, the truth is that it wants to be alone for sometimes. 

Our God is an awesome and perfect human and a everlasting loving God. None can be compared with the love of Christ. No human has fully imitated that perfect love after Jesus.

So when you are in pain experience it, Jesus waits very next to you to rest yourself in him. Our bodies find rest in physical relaxation but our soul in God.

Let's Pray:

Lord Let nothing trouble us for you alone is enough for us. Amen.

Let us hear that prayer in the words of St. Theresa of Avila 👇👇👇👇

Reflection - 18 In Need of Transformation

                 In need of Transformation

Have you ever thought of your body is kept on the altar instead of a white host during the consecration time of the mass???

Let us think of the experience of our body becomes the body of Christ.

Let us think of how the transubstantiation occurs in our body???

But still our flesh is never be equivalent to bear such transformation...

I used to imagine what if the priest cuts me off and distributes to people???

🤢🤢🤢🤢 Yaak... Isn't it?

But this happens really in the body of Christ. Yet in a very different and acceptable form. Jesus is ever ready to transform Himself according to our spiritual convenient.

But are we ready to do that...?

Many saints did that through their ardent devotion to Eucharist... 

St. Martin De Porres, St. Dominic Savio, St. Joseph of Cupertino etc. experienced such change in their human body through the gift of levitation. 

St. Antony it is through bilocation, 

St. Francis of Assisi, St. Pio, St. Rita etc. through their holy wounds

There are so many examples... 

One of the greatest examples is St. Joseph, the Father of Jesus. Though he did not give human birth to Jesus yet transformed himself into a responsible Father all the time for the born Lord of the universe to be held in his hands. 

We too need this transformation... Need not be levitating, bearing holy wounds or bilocating which are actually possible by our holiness of life yet let us offer our cordially transformed self on the altar. 

Let's Pray:

O Lord Mould me by Your Holy Hands. Amen

Please listen to this song and begin your day👇👇👇

Share this to others and make them begin the day of transformation...

Reflection - 16 Betrayal

                               Betrayal

Just this question👇 lingers my mind often...

Why do people betray in a relationship?

There are various factors behind the above question which I would like state below👇

1. Improper understanding 

2. Impurity of Love

3. Least priority given

4. More expectations

5. Less expression

And many other too...

One may wonder how these factors affect a person to betray a loved one... 

Actually do u know if that person really loved you???

Or if that person does really want you to be less prioritized???

Or Does the relationship make out of love???

Answer these questions you will find the answer. In any relationship such questions will give you answer. The first of all these is to find out whether we do commit ourselves truly to it?

If so... Then find out the answers outside. 

But I tell you the greater love can never be compared with Jesus' love. Humans betray you though you are faithful, hate you though you are loving, leave you when you need them, punish you even when you are sorry, never be with you till the end...

But Jesus does my dear ones... Psalmist would beautifully say Take refuge in the Lord than to trust these mortals (Ps 118:8)

Let's Pray:

Lord be with me in all my seconds of Life. Amen.

Watch this video and enjoy his understanding & loving accompaniment in our life.👇

Reflection - 13 Facebook of Love

                      Facebook of Love 

Often we experience a sort love-hate war inside our heart. We try to tackle that with our brain. But you know what... we eventually fail. 

Why???

Because we deal the wrong areas with a wrong tool. Most of the time we experience an imbalance in our emotions.

We may doubt the person whom we love might not love us.

We doubt that the planned event to express our love to them, could collapse.

We doubt the loyalty of the person whom we love...

Bla... Bla... Bla...

Have we ever thought if that person really loved us like we do???

Perhaps... Here we have to analyse the attitudes of different people.

The one who loves us

1. May not show that love but still loves us like no one does

2. May express a lot but comparatively we are not better for them.

3. May expect you to show that and enjoy being loved

4. May not know how to express and so collapse the situation

There are also other people who really do not love you at all but pretend as though, since we love them more than anything.

The above people will be

1. Reluctant to you always

2. Using your goodness and lend their love to another

3. Trying to end the conversation sooner though they have a lot of time to spare 

4. Comfortable in hurting you at all cost.

But their is a perfect example for an earthly love.

JESUS

Jesus is the one who gave his life for the love he had on us. No other gods came down to live amidst us to redeem us by giving the life as a cost of all our sins.

💓His Love is💖

Unconditional🥰

Eternal😇

True😘

Incomparable☺️

So Tasty😉

Let us not forget one thing in our life. Nobody in this world forgive your sins and accept you even when you love them. But Jesus does even when you don't love Him. 

Because he is Madly fallen in love with you.

Let's Pray:

Jesus the dearest of my heart, Let me live in your love. AMEN

Reflection - 7 Life of Hope

                         Life of Hope

Have you found yourself hopeless at times?

Perhaps many would have been in that situation. We expect a small string of hope to arise in distance. We try to catch that, at times we find it difficult. 

On many occasions we become more and more like Jews who tried to stone a women for committing adultery. Jesus the real father creates a riot in their hearts, "Where is the man with whom she has committed such sin." None answered that question.

Jesus just said that women one thing, "Go and Sin no more." Who else will say that and who else will accept us by understanding our complete self. Only Jesus does. No human could resemble Jesus in his or her life till now, because they are afraid of death. Jesus lived a life for death and for dying.

Jesus is the man of life. He was never even afraid of the earthly authorities. He embraced everyone from very rich man to the utmost sinner. 

We, humans make ourselves a camouflage according to the so called authorities and die to sin. 

Living amidst this pandemic we also find ourselves hopeless for our sustenance. 

This global pandemic is just an addition to our personal pandemic of heart by the hating, merciless, coward, 

Reluctant, selfish people out there. 

Let us learn the art of acting which is very important these days. Let us actualise our inner self by acting like Jesus and none else.

As St. Paul would say "have the mind of Christ" we try it in this way. 

# What would have been the reaction of Jesus when he encounters personal discomfort of dishonesty and selfishness by others?

# What if he is disturbed by the temptations to anger when he witnesses a blasphemy to his temple?

# What if he is hopeless as a human?

Let's Pray:

Dear Lord nothing seems to be so good than to sit near you and leaning on your shoulders and enjoying the bliss of love. Grant me Lord to take a right stand for the hopeless and wreck. AMEN

Reflection - 4 Unless You are Useful

                      Unless You are Useful

World comes to you until you are useful to it.

To be very Simple survival of the fittest lives.

I may be too harsh in saying this but this is the reality. 90% of people come to you only when you are useful. We go to a person to fulfil our needs or wants. Most of the times we never reach out a person to fulfil their needs. We reach them to use them and throw them after using. 

Have we ever put ourselves into their shoes and felt what they really need?... 

Have we ever mercifully glanced their sorrows and helped them?...

If you have done something by burning your finger for the needy you are my Jesus...

Jesus set a great example to the world. He went to people who are in need. His very incarnation is a good news for the poor, downtrodden, oppressed. A very few people Iive like Jesus and became saints. 

Let us examine ourselves...

Are we using people and throwing them to fulfil our need???

Jesus says to you "You are an adulterous generation."

Let's Pray:

O dear Lord Jesus Christ, Make me a channel of your Love, that I may never be so Utilitarianistic in my attitude, never be so selfish in accessing humanity and never be indifferent to others' suffering. Amen.

May the crucified Lord be near our hearts.

Rejoice Always

Reflection - 1 Life is So Mystical

Reflection - 1

"Life is so mystical"

One cannot easily understand & predict what will happen in the very next moment of our life. But life is not so cruel to abandon you in a state of loneliness. 

For everyone life gives an opportunity to envision a goal. Life gives Someone or somebody to pass by or stay forever and tells us there is another way and there are more distance to travel along. Life also shows somebody to learn how not to be like them, such will take your life mercilessly. 

Getting a good friend or an understanding partner in our life journey is a God given gift. 

# Mother Mary's journey with Christ,

# Disciples' journey with & after Christ, 

# St. Paul's journey with the Risen Lord, whom he had never been with but encountered and lived, Etc.

Let us remember Jesus says to us "No Love is greater than laying down his / her life for a friend (perhaps father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother etc.)"

Let's Pray:

Lord the incarnation of Love, as you initiated the divinity of love for the first time in this world, allow us also to partake in the true sense of being loved and to love as you did. 

(For your Reflection: Who is your friend (...)?)
