GOSPEL THOUGHTS
*Ordinary Season: Tenth Week : Monday*
*Gospel : Mt 5:1-12*
*First Reading : 1 Kgs 17:1-6*
*Golden Rules for Bleesed/Happy Life*
*1) Simplicity of Life*
Simple life makes us happy. Here we are able to share our earnings with others. Spending excessively on useless things will not bring us happiness.
The happiness we get by sharing with others, will not get in anything in this world
*2) Being in touch with ones weaknesses*
All of are weak and fragile. We commit mistakes. Being in touch with our own weakness will help us to correct ourselves and also to understand others in a better way.
The happiness we get from such an attitude will not get in anything
*3) Service oriented Life*
Without service human life has no meaning. The happiness and joy a person gets through the service will not get in anything in this world
*4) Hunger and thirst of Good things*
Beyond physical hunger and thirst people thirst and hunger for Money, power, pleasure, position, authority and wealth. Happiness from these things last for few years
But hunger and thirst for good things will attain happiness and joy for eternity
*5) Be kind towards Others*
Kindness is a great virtue. No one wants us to be called as rude, arrogant and cruel person. Such an attitude not only diminishes our image but also makes our life miserable
Kindness always brings happiness and great rewards to our life
*6) Always try to see good things*
This needs great integrity in our life
Its not that good things are not found. At times we lack the good heart and mind to see the good things
A person who is able to see good things in others and around will never be sad. Great happiness it creates in our life
*7) Cultivate the habit of Reconciliation*
A person loses nothing by reconciliation but gains a lot
A person gets nothing by revenge, but gradually loses everything
The joy and happiness we get from reconciliation is incomparable to anything in this world
*8) Facing Challenges without blaming others*
Life can't be without challenges. Some times great pain, suffering, sorrow we have a undergo in life
Accepting these things in a positive way, irrespective of from where and from whom they come, will make our life happy and joyful
One fact is 100% true. No one will be sad for doing these things in life at any time
No one will lose happiness and joy for following the above principles
*This is the secret of Beatitudes.*
*Think about it*
*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
