The feast of St. Jerom, Ignorance of the Scripture is ignorance of Christ

 

Today the catholic church remembers St Jerom, a confessor and doctor of the Church. He was born in yugoslovia in the year 341 and died on 30th September 420. He studied in Rome and then travelled for years in a passionate search for Kowgledge.

After his ordination in he went to Rome and served the pope for five years as secretary and revised the Bible. He translated some of the books of old testament newly from Hebrew and Aramic.

1. These are some of his sayings: the reading of Holy Scriptures should follow upon prayer and prayer in turn should follow reading."

2. Ignorance of the Scripture is ignorance of Christ.

3. Always be doing something, so that whether God or the devil comes to you, you may be found with your hands full.

Today as we remember him we ask though his intersession that we may have interest in reading the bible so to know Jesus more in our life for whom we have dedicated our whole life.

In order to participate worthily in this Holy Eucharist we ask pardon from God for our sins.

 

Dear Friends after listening to the readings of today we can reflect upon our lives and ask, do I make any excuse to fulfill the will of God. We all of us are working for one cause that is to establish kingdom of God. Without prayer and meditation our focus seems to be deeming. We forget who and what we are. We are just like the man who is ploughing the field looking behind.

Though this holy Eucharist we ask the grace of God that we will be faithful in establishing the kingdom of God where ever we are.

YOU ARE NOT AN EXTRA PART OF THIS WORLD

YOU ARE NOT AN EXTRA PART OF THIS WORLD

If the world is a machine then I cannot be an extra part of it... Film Hugo

Dear friends everything has got purpose under the Sun. One tries to find purpose in life and meets only dejection, frustration, rejection and what all negative in life. And if he compares his life with other person he feels out of place on earth. His life becomes like fish out of water, ready to die, quite from life.

Just believe…you are not an extra part of  this world. You have come to play your role on earth. Never leave your work undone.

To live this life meaningfully and happily we may not have hundreds of purposes but only one… if you know the only purpose of your life…it's like drop of water to a thirsty man.

Thank you.

ALWAYS HEED THE ADVICE OF ELDERS

<<<ALWAYS HEED THE ADVICE OF ELDERS>>>

I am Ankint K. I want to share you one of my childhood experience on paying heed to the advice of elders. Hope you will get lesion from my childhood experience and learn from me.

It is said an advice of elder is the sign post on the road. If we follow their advice surly we will reach our goal.  I have my elder brother name Johnson. He is very good in studies. He gets first in the class always. But it was my feeling that I am more intelligent than him. So I was not studying much at home. He always tried to make me understand  saying “ brother Ankit, please don’t study for exam but study it for your knowledge. Every book is filled with knowledge. Feel happy and read them. And surly you will get first in the class like me.”

I never listened to what he said. I was feeling he is speaking non sense. I used to study hard for exams. I used to memories the answers but without understanding. Once during my exam we had quarrel with my brother about cycle. We fought in the absent of our parents. My brother did not give me cycle he went to move. I went school with angry mood. I had to appear exam on English. Every answers from my memory was gone. I did not know what to write in the exam. I could not even remember any answer properly.

There I remembered by brothers advice which he said me once, understand the subject matters well. study for knowledge and surly you will succeed. I regretted for not listening to him. If would have had listened to him surly I could have attended all the question.

When I was back to home I met my brother and said if I would have listed to you from the begging surly I could have written good exam today. Thanks for your advice. Hence forth I am not going to study for exam but for my life.

From that time I started studying for my life and know even if I don’t get first in the class but I get satisfied with my performance.  

Dear friends this is one of my childhood experience that has helped me to learn the subject matter well. I appeal please  always heed the advice of elders no matter how small their advice might be, their advice is the sign post on our road of success. Thank you.
