troped Kyrie GL 495.8 (with Taize)
to Evgl.
talks in U-Bahn. No christl atmosphere (see reading: confused and depraved generation)
Even under cover christl Culture: Heidn
Evgl atmosphere. "Many people" go with Jesus.
What does that mean? Jesus gives the answer.
following Jesus does not work - carried by the mass of religious enthusiasm (euch. World Congress, pilgrimage to Rome, WYD).
Jesus' time the people were (terrible) religious. Sun religious, that they rejected Jesus. Because he did not meet their concept. "God must come in the way we want it." "Is not this the carpenter's son? Where did he get this wisdom ..." (Lk), synagogue of Nazareth: "... And they turned it down ..."
Therefore: Jesus' warning note
follow Jesus: not the same: Our old tour guide with the Lord.
kind of thinking change and sacrifice old ways of thinking kind, and everything that had nurtured them: Origin ...
Jesus. Clear words: cancel, fight, build
distance - radical - Realism
krämpelt Jesus all about the whole worm-eaten (religious) system.
seek the true God. About is power and possibilities (tower, army).
The 10 lepers. All were "healthy", but only one healed. He recognized God in Jesus.
Jesus does not ask all the same. And by no the impossible. He calls on everyone to him his own way.
request to waive more? Precedes the experience of greater love. Note to greater love of the "sinner" (Lk 7:00)
(who is fighting on the front line can not expect him at night a comfortable bed is made
He has more than a sleeping bag
today:.. Christianity in the status of the mission.
Therefore: missionary lifestyle)
Jesus' answer: 1 Cancellations. 2. Love to him about everything.
to reading.
first Salvation with fear and trembling. 2. God is willing and the achievement. - Opposed?
Our risk: to say no to God.
God respect our decision and does not manipulate us.
God "operates", trades 24 hours a day in us. Our response: Co-operation. But if man is not co-operate, then the human blocks the path of grace.
we take the Scriptures seriously.
Sometimes we take our relationship with God seriously. But
: occasional solemnity.
Isolated from the context of normal life. So the gospel is
not good news.
But we reduce it to a colorless, tasteless, odorless, feeble offering. Resolved
religious in isolated acts, in moments of celebration for high mood and high-parties and weddings of life. But not for everyday.
Something completely different: God operates in us 24 hours. We co-operate with
God in us.
We are renewed in every moment.
We will overcome any temptation to self-sealing against God. How far we succeed, that God will recognize the "day of Christ" and accept (reading).
This is the temptation of the old man in us.
And we always carry within us. = Church militant. (Not a neighbor or bullying) Paul Christian life as a struggle.
Triumphant Church - (not baroque liturgical splendor), but: All Saints.
suffering Church - (not persecuted Christians in Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, India), but poor souls.
poor Why? Can not do more for their purification. What
purification? Distinction between sins and sin episodes.
expiate sin episodes, others here or in the world.
But we can help them. St. intercession. Fair, works of charity, drain. Not only in November
