IN RELATION TO OUR SALVATIO AND LOVE

 IN RELATION TO OUR SALVATION  AND LOVE.                                                                                           1

 

GOD gives us life and Pope Johanes Paulus II, says to us: …”human life in general has value in the sense and measure that it is the answer to the question: ¿ do you love ¿, ¿do you love me” ? . Only  thanks to the affirmative answer, life is worth to be lived. And I say to you, ¿how is it posible not to love, God father, Jesus Christ, the second person, and the Holy Spirit,  of the Trinity one God?  All we are is given to us  by God Creator, our existance, life, and all we have as unrrepeatable person. Jesus is the savior that gives his own life for our salvation, and the Holy Spirit that inspires us all we need to win the promises of the Eternal life of happiness. Owr soul´s main duty is to love God and after that mankind, all humanity, of course with the preference of our nearest family.

Lets for a moment remember what Jesus does for us: He lived as human, being God and all what this is, he took human flesh, and being perfect God, he is (and was among us a perfect man), same as us in all except sin, he was absolutely pure all his life. His love of us is greater, much greater tan ours for him, in all cases. He formed his apostles, and through them left us the Gospels. He iniciated the only true church:  The Only, Holy,  Catholic,  Apostolic, Roman Church, and its Sacraments. In his agony,  nailed to the Holy Cross, He gave us his own Mother as our Mother (in Heaven). He gives us the Doctrine, the example of his family and personal life, he sufered injustice, was hited, lashed, tortured, crowned with spines, insulted, and finnaly crucified. And all He did was good and only good, curing, saving the possessed by demons, teaching, forming  women and men, performed miracles  bringing to life the dead.  Finally, gave his own human life dying in agony for us,  crucified in the cross, the instrument of torture of the romans and other civizations of those times, and He did it for  our salvation. His love for each one of us, (all humanity) is eternal, it exists for ever before we were nothing, He allready loved us.  ¿HOW NOT TO LOVE THIS?.

The plan for us menkind from God, after the Original Sin, and according with his promise is: the anouncement by the prophets of the incarmation of the Second Person of the Holy Trinity,  that was among us to grant the possibility of salvation for those who believe in Jesus Christ, and that follow his doctrine, obey the Commandments of his Law and his Church, in other words those who follow God´s will. ¿HOW NOT TO LOVE THIS?.

In regard to the Holy Spirit, we must remember what was said  by Jesus, before He went back to His Father in Haven, ….”I most go away, and it is for your advantage, because the Counsellor will come, and He will bring to you, from the Father the spirit of truth,  and speak what the Father tells Him, he will guide you to all the truth and bear witness to my teachings”.…….He will with his precense among you strenghten and deepen the conciousness of its divine presence and our human misión. ¿HOW NOT TO LOVE THIS?

  Accepting the spirit of obedience, accepting the command: “ feed my lambs” given to saint Peter and trough him to all of us,  this is the reason why we have to keep and promote our religión, helping its permanece in time, wich we do first of all trough our own children, that we must introduce into catholic faith, and then after, to wich we can, and that is true love,  do our own apostolate.

Since we receive so much love from God, in return seeking others to love him, trough knowing him, given that we cannot love what we do not know. Making known  God and his religión is how we contribute to the development of chistinity, this can be done in every place we are living. Lets remember that first is praying, second friendship and only third teaching those who know less tan we do. Let us seek the help of our Mother of heaven, by asking in pray, for  her to enligthen us to do our apostolate duty whith love of God. ¿ HOW NOT TO LOVE THIS ? .

JESUS OF NAZARETH.

 JESUS OF NAZARETH. 

By the observation af any thing in nature, and practically every thing, not hand made, or designed, wether it is pysical or chemical, or mechaninal,  by human persons, whether it is inert, living, physical, chemical, can and should be considered to belong to nature, including humanity. We are the most important part of Creation and of nature due to being the only reasoning creatures created by God.

Taking in account what is been said, we can see that God Creator is love, and that The bears  love to every creature, specialy us, mankind on earth, and he sent his son  into the world to save us fron Adam and Eve´s Original sin, and all the sins that we commit in our lives, if we repent and go to the Sacrament of confession in order to obtain his pardon, such is his love of us.

This words of Jesus Christ: “If I be lifted  up on the cross I will drive into me all mankind “, this prophecy of himself was a reality and is being completed as per today, as we can see the missionaries moving to every corner of the planet in order to preach his Holy Gospel, and convert those who listen to them.

In the synagogue he unrolled the hebrew scriptures and picked the following: “ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me bcause  he hath anoited me to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sigth to the blind,  to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach  the aceptable year of the lord”.

How few of us, there are who know our own failing, see into our hearts, what is really good for us, in those  parts of his teachings. He was clear to tell us, mankind, that he came for the saving of the irreligious or the non religious, to those that thougth little of themselves, to the rough working with their hands, to the heretical samaritans,  to the heathen soldier, to the poor peasants to the swarming population of Galilee, so as we see, our relation to Jesus of Nazareth, should be not ony be for our salvation, but for the knowledgment of God until the limits of our capabilities, and our love of The, since, as it is widely known, we cannot love what we do not know. The Catholic Church is devoted to  its apostolic and catechesis activities in all the stratum of society, but with option for the: humble, neglected, dangerous, friendless, oppresed, forgoten, unthougth, uncared and poor.

We do not refer with these adjetives to the material status only, but to the spiritual, as well.

This is the way we help others to their own salvation and get our own, for doing it. Our work weather it is done in the instances and directions of our church, or given under guidelines from a catholic organisation to wich we belong. In other words, our dedication should follow the instructions of the Pope Franciscus, that has told us, that we have to take our efforts to the street. Meaning that we have to look for the developing,  of the catholic church following  the teachings of Jesus and his example. It is a matter of our love for the others. “ one new commandment I give you, that you love one another”. Thy loves us from eternity, and wants us to love all his creation, starting with our neighbors, and then our common house, the earth. Lets ask ourselves: ¿do I realy love the others? ¿do I try to keep our planet unpoluted?.

All the activities that we do in these fields,  are a treasure that we invest in Heaven, where it does not rust or be  stolen or deteriorated and in due time Jesus our King,  judge, legislator, savior, will take this treasure in account, and for our favour. If we seriously thik of these, we will see the enormous convenience of carrying it out, because we are speaking of eternity, inmediatly after we are called by our Creator to the afterlife. Our earthly existence is short compared to eternity, and we have been created for it, so we better do the best we can, in this life, to save ourselves.

Lets pray to our Mother in Heaven, the holy Virgin Mary, for her help that we need, intervening for the strength, discipline, perseverance, we must have,  in order to comply with God´s will.

LOOSING OUR TRADITIONAL VALUES

 

VALUES BEING LOST.   

In the begining of christianity our traditional values started, in the begining with the church fathers time, in feudalism, and the middle ages values  grew, they were kept and lived, and gave a substratum to the occidental, western European civilization and the rest of the world, other new religions took them as precious  parts of their beleives, before, civilization did not have difficulty in stablishing them, at the reinessance they started to be lost, and with the french revolution, many were simply forgotten. Step by step the influence of the catholic church, that has been the origin and defender of them has been loosing its influence.

Persons in the old times did not have the distractors of modern times, from the end of the XVIII century reading became popular, books reached the middle and lower clases, the comunication technology has supplemented reading and instead, the popular electronics of tv., inteligent tablets and lap tops, móvil phones that are practicaly computers, that are full of information, memories,  photographs, games, news practicaly at the time they are happening, have taken the much of the place of books, now academic and technology texts are in its place,  all around the globe. Persons used to read books much more than today.

Some values are in use in bussines as indispensable issues, and others are thaugth, specially with offspring at home, but not enough. It is very little family comunication, here the technology is widely used by youths in poor conversations with their friends. Some parents use modern technology  very conveniently when the offspring are away from home, and they use it with great advantages for their studies, investigation, general information, But not all is good, there is a perverse side of it, dangerous to the kids and persons of all ages, from young to oldies. Some examples of this are, improper films, pornography, wich can reach  despicable addictions, fake news and wrong information, it is also a political instrument, widely used, in many oportunities to deceive audience. This shows us the need of applying new manners of teaching values, in accord with times.

Regarding computer technology, in our horizon we have to learn how to win the needed battles, trying to erase the dark side and enhence the good part of technology, being consent, of the advantages that a good use grants, and the evil it can generate if used wrongfully, this can be succesful if values are well teached in order to be well understood.

Of course this is a responsability in the first place of the parents, but also goverments must play its roll, in centers of education and also in general information to the public in the mass advertisement. If this points are not well taken care off, the society will suffer pains, and the ideologies will spread its bad influence.

Human persons are generaly open to assimilation of the good education, but if it is not realy active then come the bad ways of thinking and acting. The catholic church is alwais very aware of the problem of the value lost, and acting, but needs our support and help, this is not a simple task, we all must take part of it in a very responsable way.

FAMILY ORIENTATION.

 

FAMILY ORIENTATION.

The dignity of the family is one of those eternal issues, that will be discussed alwais, our catholic religión in many cases, even if not in a direct manner, makes references to it, in both the old and the new testaments. Not only in the written Word but in the TRADITION.  Another topic very interesting in the dignity area is the relief we enjoy of the women that keeping their family household is  getting a higher education, is working outside home and competing with men in the finding of Jobs, and in the demonstration of their capacities, in all the fields, technical, scientific, administrative, political and the rest.

The first thing we must consider seriously is the responsability of giving our decendents an INTEGRAL education, it  is the introduction into catholic faith at home, supposedly our own childs are baptized as son as posible after they are born, when very young they must receive the Sacraments for wich they are previously prepared by cathequists of children, courses for First Comunion, Confirmation and Confession, they will understand much better if they have boon introduced by their parents in knowledments like: there is only one God, that love us, that has given to us a guardian angel, that the holy Virgin is our mother in heaven,  the most important prayers like Our Father, Ave María, and the nigth orations before going to bed. The great importance of going to mas son sundays

Family Orientation  was included in universities all arround the world, starting in the “Universidad de Navarra”, Spain, that sent all the information needed to the interested. When it began to be known,  the interest from universities was great, they wanted the posibilities of the teaching of it in courses for professors and family parents. Navarra university introduced many other institutions in this discipline. The Harvard “Method of the Case” was used, let me tell you that relations between Harvard and Navarra, have been alwais very close.

Family Orientation (F.O.) courses were not easy to start with. Parents taugth that they did not have any thing to learn from an education instance, that their experience at home was the very place for learning how to educate their descendants, but once they started, and I tell you these out of my own experience as organicer and teacher in my Alma Mater, I withnesed and received personaly from parents, opinions like these:

                How usefull would have been, to know this things when my children were younger.

                From today on, we will educate our sons much better.

                ¿Why did not tell us before about orientation of the family?

                ¿How is it posible that as parents, we were  ignorant of so important issues?

And so on. Realy the profound investigation done in the universities and specialized different schools of F.O. have found very rich knowledgments, very useful in the formation of better human beings. It has taken professors of F.O. years of high studies, and the universities that teach it, and  PH.D. degrees are granted to the ones that opt to it, and pass. This discipline includes couseling for matrimonies, unfit members, education of descendats at all ages,  our own education, treatment of some cases of adictions, and many other difficult situations of families.

We all agree that the lack of values and virtues in our society is as bad as it can be, and  that it is urgent to restore them, F.O. is the best way to teach them in the minors, so that they,  learn values and virtues that will acompany  them for the rest oftheir existance. It is not an exageration to say that in most cases these matters, if taugth properly and at the indicated age, will be part of their personality,  and for such reason, they will carry them the rest of their lives. In the personal freedon in wich God creates us, they will make use of them, or not. But any way we will have done our best, and acomplished our obligation. God wants us to be as good educators, as said before starting with the introduction of our catholic faith, and going trough the virtues and values acording  age. Lets ask for the help we need from Heaven to be good educators and assist to courses of F.O.

FIDELITY TO OUR CHURCH.

 

FIDELITY TO OUR CHURCH. 

There are some things that have to be clearly present in our minds, regarding our catholic church, they are:   1).- Our church is one and only one, founded by Jesus Christ.   2).- Our church is  holy has santity, given by God himselve.  3).- Our church is catholic, because it is universal, for all mankind.  4).- Our church is apostolic because its knowledge and teachings are for all human kind.

IT IS ONE, clearly Jesus Christ cries to his Father: “let´s  all be one, as you and I are, let all be one thing, as you are in me,  and I am in you. On an other occasion Jesus says: “every kingdom, or house divided in oposite factions wil not subsist”. And  in his  predication says,” I also have other sheeps that do not belong to this herd, and I must pick them up, they will hear my voice and  will be one single herd and I will be their Pastor”.

“ I am the true vine, and my father is the farmer, every branch  that does not carry its fruit, He will cut it, and all those that give fruit, He will prune to bear fruit. Stay with me and I will stay with you, as the branch canot produce fruit alone, united to the vine will do”.

“ I am the vine and you are the branches, if you are united to me, and I with you, the fruit  will be a great harvest. Without me you cant have a crop”.

Saint John Crisostumus, insists: “do not separate from the Church, nothing is stronger, your hopes, your spiritual health, your refuge, is in it, never will get old, its strenght is for ever”.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS HOLY.-  Santity is exactly unity with God, the better this unity the more santity. The Church has been founded and loved  by Jesus Christ in accorrdance with GOD FATHER, this way it is the spouse of Jesus, and asisted by the Holy Spirit. The Church is “opus” of the Holy Trinity. It  will never disappear, the gates of hell wil never prevail against it.

Jesus Christ  not excluded sinners of the society He founded, so if some members are affected by spiritual sickness, this should not diminish our love to our Church, on the contrary it should increase our sorrow  and compasión to those members.

The Church is not governed by Peter or John, or Paul, it is governed by the Holy Spirit, and the Lord has promised, that  will be at its side, all the days until the end of times. Thy has compared it to a troul net, that gets all kind of fish, good and bad, and will trow away the bad.

THE CHURCH IS CATHOLIC.-  God wants all humanity to save its soul, to go to heaven, and have knowledgment of the truth, and Jesus as the mediator between God Father and Jesus Christ the son in the Holy Trinity, for centuries the Catholic Church has had persons of all races, and social status, but its catholicity does not depend of the geographic extensión, even if it is a visual sign and a motive of credibility, at Pentecost when being born, it is all ready universal.

We call it catholic because from one end to the other of the earth her teachings and dogmas are being taugth without defects, and teaches the same doctrine of the visible as well as the invisible, to the governants and citizens of the terrenal as well as the heavenly. It does it with the sapient and the ignorant, in all values, virtues and spirutual gifts. And of course in things done, and words.

It will be observed that any ideology or thinking are in some way related to veracity, will have in its part of truth the influence, eco, or founding  of the Catholic  permanent sapience, that comes from the Divine Revelation, and lets remember that for the loyal interpretation we have the Church Magisterium.

The Catholic Church is not a political party, or a social ideology, or an not govermental organization  (NGO),  it is the sign of the divinity of the Holy Revelation. It is not looking for concord or material progress, it is the spouse of Christ, even if persecuted, and does a tremendous work in favor of the poor,  marginalaized and  outcasts.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS APOSTOLIC.- Jesus Christ founded its Church based on the weak, but they were loyal and faithful, the apostles were assisted by the Holy Spirit, that was a promise to them.  Christ did tell them:  “to me was given all authority in heaven and earth, so go and intruct all people, baptize them in the name in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the things that I have commanded to you, and be certain that I will be with you until the consummation of the centuries”.

We are santified in the church after being baptized, we can access to the grace that saves, this is a great advantage to catholics. Jesus grants his grace out of his church also, due to his Divine Justice. But in our church we get all the help necessary, the guidance, the knowledment, we learn how to live in state of grace, we have the inmense help of the holy Sacraments, specially the forgiveness of sins. This is thanks to the missión of the church that is to save us, to grant the eternal salvation, if we comply with the will of God.  

Trough more than two thousand years of history in the church, the succession of the apostles is preserved, in their place we have the bishops, and the Pope that is the succession line of S. Peter, specially named by Jesus as  the first Pope of the Church.” YOU ARE PETER AND OVER THIS ROCK I  WILL BUILD  MY CHURCH”.

Peter will move to Rome in due time, and there he will found the primacy of the church. This is the reason for wich in América the protestants some times call our church ROMAN CATHOLIC .

The suprime power of the Catholic Church is Jesus Christ himself, all the rest are subdued to Thy, and taking his will, that comes from God Father as our supreme commandment.

Lets pray to our mother of heaven the Holy Virgin, to Access salvation by obeying God´s will, her help is of the outmost importance.

EDUCATION IN THE FAMILY.

 

EDUCATION IN THE FAMILY.

This is an issue that has been very important alwais, but today due to several social circumstances, has become more necessary and needed than ever. In the matter of education of our sons, the parents are the first responsable, the most useful and irreplaceble in their first years, later priests, professors and else, will have important influence also. So we see the reason to prepare ourselves to perform this important part of our lives. Some of the very important things to consider are: Introduction to catholic faith, knowledment of environement, vocation, authonomy, career, responsability at home, study center, social surounding, good manners and exquicite social education etc. with the objective of having a happy life, and the eternal happiness in tho next life. This is the enormous advantage of salvation teached in cathoic families. A life full of contents, loving humanity, as Jesus Christ taugth us in the new comandment, given to his disciples as part of his final instructions: “just as I have loved you, you must also love one another”  John 13, 34.

At home children are subject to: Expectations in:  experiences, answers to environment, love, affection, sympathy, reaction to learning process, and adults are supossed to give them the tools to grow and mature. Their personalities will come out in due time, and the feeling of freedom will have a definite roll in their lives. This calls our attention in relation to the quality of teachings ,that we, as parents have to use in order to have a good catholic influence that forms their spiritual way of being, acting, living, with rectitude of intention in all their decisions, with the inner power to govern themselves, keeping away the bad influences of our own pasions, and giving space to all good acts, intentions, manners of being good persons in front of God and the human race, being example of how we must live as good catholics. All the actual problems in the world would be solved, just by living by all humans, the New Comandment, given to all us from Jesus Christ.

Overall education includes many aspects, we can mention as example besides the allready mentioned of Spiritual deep conviction, introduction to catholic faith, hope and love, moral convictions, matters as keeping good health, physical devepment, hygiene, affinity to art, good attitudes and habits in social life, possitive aproach towards work, predisposition to be be good citizens and family persons, and have preference for realy honest relations to others. As we can see, with this in mind and many other good caractheristics of a fine personality, the family education is a challenging but payable experience of life.

Following I have taken some parographs from:

 The Role of Parents in the Education of Children Ardita Ceka1* Rabije Murati2 1.Faculty of Philosophy, University of Tetova, 176 no.53A, Tetovo,1200 Macedonia 2.Faculty of Philosophy, University of Tetova,1200 Macedonia.

“ THE MOTHER AS AN EDUCATOR.- Mother is the first and the best teacher- proverb The family enables children protection in that suggestively that makes parents responsible for their developing and to make their children grow into a total personality.  The role of the woman or the mother as an educator represents a crucial resource to the development of the individual identity, which from researchers is seen even as more important as the very marital status of the parents and the occupation of the parents themselves. It seems that the feeling of being a mother, to the woman is more powerful than being a father of given child for the husband. Always in accordance to the biological as well as physiological relation of mother to the child, represents the first and reasonable part or segment of the child’s development. This for the reason that mother assures child’s life, as she is the one who brings the child in this world, and further on she raises them from being little towards reaching a total independency in mature life. The mother’s function in this regard, has a very important role which as such may be divided into two parts or directions: The first one is related to the child’s defense, while the other one to the child’s overall development. Mother’s protection as a function embeds several types of actions or types of functions. The 1st type is connected to the physical protection of the child, which means that the child must be provided healthcare and hygienic conditions, so that he/she could have a healthy life in a worm home environment in every sense of the word, including here the ambiance where the child lives, which must be well enlighten, a healthy place which offers the child to be showered, feed up and taken care in general. The 2nd type is the Psychological protection, which can be reflected through the child’s emotional security and psychological protection, especially in moments when the child feels it when the mother is next to him i.e. her. Another group of activities in this regard, are the maternal functions regarding the child’s development involving here the physical development, the intellectual development as well as the emotional development of the child. (Grancic, Radovan, 2006) Each child which grows up and is educated in the presence of mother, for sure is expected to reach an appropriate physical, psychological as well as social development. In this regard, these children have a much better appearance, the look happy and they enjoy the childhood in general. They are communicative and as such they are ready to cooperate. (Brada, Riza. 1995) For this reason, mother’s love and care to the child, is full and well completed, and as such is often accepted by other members of the very family. This type of cultivated love and affection can be qualified as a key condition for an appropriate development of the children in a given family. The children experience the physical as well as psychological effects of the mother, and as such they are taken as model which influences their further development during their emotional stage of development of their moral values as whole. This element of the so called child’s identification, the child embeds it in his/her personality for years on and on, throughout his/her total lifespan. It is planted in their character as well as temperament, and as such it is reflected through his/ her attitudes and thoughts in interaction or behavior comportment with the society in general. Almost all culture have developed arrangements which enable mothers to provide for basic child care while maintaining other duties that are instrumental to family well – being. (James, Garbarino. 1982) However, depending on the economic, social as well as emotional limitations, mothers, nowadays have a variety of opportunities to be able to reach or make real their mother’s role, which helps the child’s overall development and enables mothers to enjoy the fact of being mother. The modern experiences, show quite Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.7, No.5, 2016 63 frequent derailments from this path of action, which as such can be illustrated with the fact of single mothers, mothers coming from unemployed background, under age mother etc.”.

 

 “THE FATHER AS AN EDUCATOR.- The father in a family is a very important factor, concerning the organization of a nice and appropriately functional development of a house hold, with a specific accent on the children. Helping fathers be the ‘best fathers they can be’ is therefore of enormous importance to children. A god father must be a good parent and a good husband. This person is extremely important factor in the organization of the family life as a whole, which are the basic ground towards a happily and joyful family for all the members of a respective family. Many young fathers want to do things better than how they have experienced in their lives. (Claudia&Eberhard Muhlan. 2008) His presence in the family has a particular importance while it leads the family members, i.e. the children towards a feeling of safety in their life reigning on the overall family members as a compact union of members. In these circumstances of safety, the children are the ones who benefit mostly. However, the so called subjective experiencing of the parents by their children varies in different ways and family models, and as such his relevance in a family is much more different from the one that is performed by mothers. As a result of the gender prejudices in terms of the duties to be performed in their family, especially regarding their approach and contribution towards their children’s education, it turns out that mothers are more prepared to undertake their role in their children’s education, rather than their fathers. Fathers make a powerful difference in defining expectation and challenging children to do their best. (Constantine, Tammy. 1999) As such, the children learn their responsibilities and role in the family, when they themselves grow up and become parents, which is they are mature to play the father’s role in this regard. Given this theory, there has been done much research, which proves that the relationship between father and child becomes stronger. This relationship does not result to be dependent from neither of the other two relations i.e. the one between father and child neither the one mother-child. (Cowan, C. 1992) In order to have a successfully brought up and well educated children in one family, parents are crucial and they must be careful to some elements which play a key role in raising, bringing up and educating their children; Firstly, while the parent’s principal role in the family is the education and the bringing up of their children, then the main obligation of their children is to study harder and properly. For this aim, they need to be well instructed how to study, based upon rules and principles of an appropriate learning and studying. This approach would open to them the doors of the world of a behaviorist attitude towards the work, making possible for them to get to know better the relevance of working as one of the main behaviorist elements of the human kind. Secondly, the development of the child is in fact an overall child’s personality formation. The parents as educators must be able to recognize the basic features of their child, interests, temperament and especially the child’s emotional features regarding the child’s character. Thirdly, the child’s personality formation has resulted to be constructed mostly based upon child’s socialization in general. The socialization process as such, for sure nowadays represents the most important one of all other processes involved in his formation as a child. Thus, the child commences to socialize within a given society since the early stage of his/her childhood at parents’ home, circled by parental atmosphere and the relationship between family members in general. In this entourage, the child makes the first steps in the society, manifesting the basic features of behavior, which as such are the fundaments of further social development and integration of the child in a given society”. Lets pray to the holy Virgin our mother in heaven to make us good educators in the family.        JCS.

ALWAIS THE TRUTH.

 

ALWAIS THE TRUTH.

Catholics are alwais in the search of the truth, specialy in relation to our existance. Knowing the truth makes us capable of giving sense and direction to our lives, we should never be satisfied until we are sure that we own the truth in whatever issue. This, because of the abundance of fake information, specially in the social pages of Internet, many persons are interested in deviating the proper way of thinking of as many persons as they can, the other side is trough the truth that allows us to thihk properly, to know what is real, and the advantages of this are many.  Nobody is happy not knowing the reality of things, instead of being misguided by lies and information that is not adecuate but tendentious.

The truths are in many areas, like the sciences, just thik for a moment in the information that astronomy, chemestry, phisics, mathematics, give us, and has the good finnality of information, but, when it is about politics, history, catholicism, the lies are shamefully abundant.

When things are very serious, like in religión we have to try to clear as much as posible, lets take as an example “faith”. There are two different kinds,: human faith and divine faith, for us catholics the divine faith comes from God´s Revelation, and since God cannot mistake things, it is absolutly thuth. However human faith can be mistaken, can be wrong or on purpose a lie. We catholics learn trough the teachings of our church those knowledgments related to our beliefs.

 It is of great importance to know exactly what Jesus Christ trough his church´s knowledge wanted to reveal us. The Catholic Chuch trough its Magisterium, that is carefully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the instance trough wich we receive the absolute truth. This thanks to the organization of our church and trough its bishops, priests and well prepared laymen.

Nothing is in human life compared to the wonderful situation of being in the possession of the truth, and it may be even dangerous not to own it.
