About the sa Paul how what the qualities every Christian need to have the mission of St Paul how successful he became he was a man who was against Christianity he was a Pharisee under the ganiel he was was he had so much love for the Jewish people and he followed very strictly the
Laws of Jewish he believed that there was only one God that is God the father and has to be followed all the laws that are given by Moses through God so he wanted only strictly follow that so he could not accept that Jesus was a savior even till today people in
Jerus people of Jewish are still waiting for the Savior to come they don’t accept Jesus as a savior because their imagination of Savior coming to the world was something different they thought like a Big King he will be coming coming to the uh King to the
World and he will be saving everyone so this was the laws that he learned and he was following very Faithfully so he could not accept the uh Christianity or the Christians who proclaimed that Jesus is the savior so he started persecuting them so for that he traveled from Jerusalem to Damascus almost 160
Kilometers miles he has traveled to reach to that place so when while he was going through to persecute he had taken a special uh permission from the authorities to persecute the Christians in Damascus on the way he had a a drastic thing that has happened a drastic change that brought the
Experience that he had with Jesus on the way to Damascus I this I had thought I has already taught about this talking about the same Paul that St Paul had a great experience he could not see Jesus but there was a powerful light that fall on his eyes that he could not
See anything he could see only the light and could hear the voice you tell me dear children what what was the question that Jesus asked to St Paul he was a soul and God named him as Paul he was the persecutor became a great proclaimer a Zeal filled for the
Lord and proclaimed his word to the whole world for that he has to face so many things why do you persecute me that was the question asked by Jesus directly to the St Paul St Paul did not understand what what he was asking he asked who are you
Lord I am the Lord I am the Jesus I am the Savior the people whom you are going to persecute are mine that means Jesus Is Telling if you persecuted my people you are persecuting me that is what Jesus told to the disciples if they have persecuted me they will persecute you too
Because I am the master they persecuted me yet yet you are you are persecuted you will be persecuted there persecuted by the people so that was the thing he was going on his way to persecute the people in Damascus that was the con conversion that took place face to face that soul
Faed that was the DraStic change it has happened once for all he lived for Jesus alone he lived for him he died for him so that that was the man whom we thought from out is not the man that God sees all the plans of Paul St Paul was
To kill the people that is why there is a saying man man proposes and the go the god makes it his plan to happen God had something else plans for him so that today in the Bible we see many letters that St Paul has written and inspirational
Letters that is why after his conversion he could say that I who now I who not the who is living but the Christ who lives in me that means he died for hisself in hisself he died but the Christ who was leaving that is the thing
We need to we need to Proclaim that is the way we need to live our life being a Christian it is not we are representing representing ourself but the Christ is represented if you are the way you are talking the way you do your uh your way of Works your words your actions
Everything will be showing the Jesus so when you live your life anybody sees the Christian people should say that this person is a Christian they should see us Christ do we are we ready to do that dear children you are all good children you may be already doing in your study
Place in your family among your friends you should be always different it was not easy for St Paul to live that life very um consciously for Christ he has to face many difficulties but he faced for the sake of of Jesus so that today he became an great
Apostle even the disciples were not accepting him if Christ accepts who need to accept you and me Christ has called him so he himself called calling himself that he is an apostle he stood in the places from where he began his persecution to reach he reached till there and started
Proclaiming that Jesus is the Lord Jesus is the savior now next part that we are going to learn is Christian vision of Life what is the Christian vision of life that which directly shows the way the lifestyle of every Christians that depends on us that how Christian vision of life should be a
Lifegiving a person filled with a God we need to be authentic we need to show Jesus in our way of behaviors in way of our living the Christians who are following the following and trying to leave the vision of Jesus is the vision of Christian life so now we will see there are
Different kinds of Visions there are five aspects in that Christian vision of Life how many aspects five aspects the first one that we are learning God our Father that is the vision of God that when Jesus is teaching teaching us that God is our father that need to be our one of the
Most important Vision that is when Jesus taught the prayer to the disciples he said call the God as a father that is why he again says that you need to be perfect as your father is perfect God is Holy so we need to be holy that is why in Matthew we are
Chapter Gospel of Matthew chapter 5: 48 we see that we need to be perfect like our father we need to be aware that way of our living should show that we are the children of the Father God the Father we consciously need to establish this special relationship with the
Father if we are living with the father once you call God the father as say father we become as a children that is why we need to be like the father perfect when in the schools in the working places usually people will ask who is your father what is the name
Of your father by that they will be telling ah yeah because of that you are like this if our parents are good they will tell us yeah your parents has brought you up the same thing if we are accepting God as a father when the people ceases they should tell yes you
Are really a Christian the Christian way of living is should be always like a Christ so building that relationship with the father will help us to live a holy life a perfect life and there will be always a conscious in us to build up that relationship experienceing that
Love with the Lord we will be able to do well and be well as a Christian so the being a CH God’s children that we fulfill our responsibility sincerely doing the will of God when we love our parents we automatically will listen to them and we try to make them happy
Yes or no dear yes we do it because we love our parents if we will the same relationship with God the Father we surely will do that we surely will be responsible in living a Christian Life the second vision is that we are God’s children this is a spiritual
Vision we first Soul vision of God second one we are seeing the spiritual vision is we are God’s children this goes in hand in hand God our Father we are God’s children when we accept God as a father we become his children so that so that we need to be
Aware that we are children of God we are created with the divine poent ials to become children of God it is recited when we praise the faith in Jesus we become the children of God St John titles or he tells that we who receive him will receive the
Father who believes in Jesus believes in father that is why this is a connected relationship between God Jesus and we Jesus is a bridge between we and God it is always connecting us so that we are able to become the children of God what is the first children God our Father
That is the vision of God we are the children of God that is the spiritual vision third one we see we are brothers brethren in Christ this is the vision of people this need to be vision of us if God is our father and we all are becoming his
Children then what are we we are brothers and sisters the whole world is connected United We Belong to one family because our father is good good our father is God the father so we are connected in with one another so there should not be any Coralis between us there should not
Be any egoism between us she and me we all are connected not in a better relation but in the spiritual relation being a Christians we are connected with one another and we become a one family of God the Father and Jesus is the son of the father he becomes our brother
And we need to communicate this message to ourselves as well as to the other when our own brother is in difficult we reach out to them in helping to give them a helping hand but nowadays it is very difficult for us we are tired of helping others we all
Become very selfish people looking for our for our own welfare that is why even today India has not developed but I don’t see all are same there are many people helping different people feeling for their brethren in the time of difficulties so that in the in our life
In this world there should not be any descrip imination over the cast Creed and religion never make see they are a Christian we are Hindus we are Muslims no division God is one we are brothers and sisters of that children of that God so we are belong to one another the feeling
Of belongingness should come Even in our thoughts there should not be a nature of harming the other from us the love love only should flow that is why St Augustine says the love love only should flow in the communities whether that is in Christian Community whether it is in any religion
Community the love should flow from our heart where there is in love there cannot be any count of mistake once once we are born when we are born we have brought nothing when we go we take nothing but the love that we have shown to the others will come with
Us now we learned three visions the fourth one we are going to learn is Cosmic Vision that is world or Earthly home World becomes our Earthly home what are we going to learn dear children World our Earthly home this vision is influencing that aware we being aware that we
Are being becoming aware that God is our father and we all brothers and sisters this concept helps us to to have a positive vision of the world in the v in the world there is good and bad there are good and bad people yet this belongingness to one another
Feeling that we are the children of God can give us a positive thought in our mind and in heart according to the Christian understanding this Earth is home this home is only temporary we just came and we will go back the real a permanent home is our
Heaven that is what we teach in Christianity we came only for temporary purpose here so for that temporary going for study to another country we take only certain few things which is needed only for that period of study we don’t buy any permanent things for us because we know in that place we
Are not going to stay but when we get when we come away from there what we bought if it is useful we bring the things otherwise we leave it there but in this Earthly home you make a big Mig Mansion whether you live in the poor
Poor house if if you have got a car or if you have got a wealth you have got a lot of L whatever it may be when we die we are not going to take anything with us so when we die nothing is going to come so when you born have you brought
Anything with us no we have not brought anything when we are born we know that with all the potentials God might have created but to develop that potentials we need others that is why others are in this world become our brothers and sisters with this brothers and sisters
We are running with a competent mind we are gathering so so many think yes we need to have all the um things that to lead a proper life or a happy life but it doesn’t mean that you need to cheat the others no that doesn’t me that we need to grab
From the others no when you die what are we going to take that is why Hitler when he died he has told the one who was fighting I have not mistaken alexer also when they died when they died they had told to their servants when we die keep when I die keep my
Hands outside to tell that he gained the whole world but he could take nothing with him when he died same thing with the children we may be gathering so many things we don’t know tomorrow whether we will get up then why are we so much worried about tomorrow that’s why Jesus
Is Telling never worry about tomorrow we don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow day will you need to think only tomorrow you live today’s life we don’t know the next moment what is going to happen so live and share that you have this Earth is given to us as a temporary
Home our duty is to protect this environment by using the so many different kinds of electronical things or the pollution that we are making on this Earth we are spoiling completely this earth that is given by the God it is our primary Duty when we are living on
This um Earth temporarily you need to take care of that part as long as we live the next thing that we are going to learn is Heaven our ultimate goal the same thing that is connected to this this is the vision of Heaven now Cosmic Vision we saw vision of man
We saw spiritual vision we saw God vision of God we saw now we are going to learn is vision of Heaven Christian Outlook of life is restricted to a life on Earth this is our way of looking is life after after this the life that we live is in
Heaven it reminds us that that is not the end but the way ensure life everlasting life the ultimate goal of our life is to reach God who created us what how we will reach to this destination that is what I said to follow this Christian Life if we follow
We make God as our father that you take as vision of God if we become a children of God spiritual vision and we become Brothers and Sisters in Christ that is the vision of everyone and World our Earthly home a cosmic vision and the vision of Heaven if you follow all these
And it will be easy to reach to the heaven happily for we know that this Earthly life is not the end after this there is a life that to live with the Our Father this we we are like just we came like a temporary people just pass
And we will be going some may be living 50 years 40 years some may be even 5 years 6 years 10 year we have no do you do you know how long you will live can you guarantee no so why need to destroy our life by for what is temporary
We are destroying thinking of that one this one like that so many wantings we make and we destroy our happiness our peace and even the Peace of the other and happiness one day we will be reaching to the heaven we have to go back to the place where we came
From so we need to we as a Christians need to accept the ultimate goal of our life confidentially and courageously facing every problem and follow If Today problem of you is studies mostly and especially we get into different kinds of realations if you failed in your exam try try once again
And get back to your studies this is only a temporary every problem has a solution that has to pass away there is a days of rainy there are days of Sunny there is days of cloudy but everything everything will be passing away there we will experience the vision of
Heaven There we experience the Peace of peace in our soul and mind once again we will see see our children tell me how many Christian vision of Life aspects are there you are right there are five assets first one God our Father that is the vision of
God we are God’s children that is the spiritual vision we are brothers and sisters in in Christ that is the vision of human beings World our Earthly home that is Cosmic Vision Heaven our ultimate goal that is the vision of heaven so I think you will learn by
This that we we need to be aware that we belong to Jesus and God the Father the spirit who leads us they three are one if you face any kinds of problems try to face them with courage and encouragement you see others are suffering give an helping
Hand whether you feel don’t feel the love of others feel the love of God and become his child next we are going to learn is Christian attitude till now we learned about the Christian Vision the next part that we are going to learn is Christian attitude in this Christian attitude
Along with the life that we live having with a great vision what is our attitude what kinds of attitude what kind of attitude we must have being an a Christian that is what we are going to learn in this um next part that the Christian must maintain the attitude of divine
That God the attitude of God need to be inculcate in our life when we are able to live our vision automatically we will be able to inculcate the attitude being conscious in promoting Jesus we will be conscious in leaving Promises of Christ I came that they might have life and have it
Abandonedly this we see in Luke gospel chap 10: 10 a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but a person with a certain right attitudes we need to have that is the most important attitudes that each and every person need to have is right attitude towards
God right attitude towards fellow men right attitude towards the world that is what the in Vision we s our attitude towards God that will be fulfilling our vision that God is the father what is our attitude towards God then uh right attitude towards fellow men that is the vision that we
See we are brothers in Christ that is the vision of every human human person that will be fulfilled by this right attitude towards the fellowman and the right attitude towards the world that is the to right attitude if you have towards the world only then
We will be able to reach to the vision of cosmic and vision of Heaven otherwise we behave as if we want to remain permanently on this Earth the Christian must maintain the vision of God as a father people as a Brethren and the world as the place is given to us to
Dwell what is that God as a father people as a Brethren world is given as a temporary place where we can just leave and then go and ultimately the aim of our aim of our life is heaven to reach heaven these realities we must know so that we will be when we know
This reality we will surely form a right attitude so now we are going to see the three kinds of right attitudes that one is sense of Divine Providence attitude of fraternal a sense of goodness and optimism sense of Divine Providence what do you understand by this dear
Children the God one who created you and me very very carefully in the beginning of the world put us very carefully into the family where you will be happy put us into a society where you need to be comfortable do you not see his providential care in that yes we need to
See that should be our attitude a person of a person who he has love when we received everything freely and becoming a child of the God and God is as our father surely our attitude towards God should be that that he is our father we are the children of
Him so that when you go and ask your father and mother mama I need this Papa that I need when you ask surely they will give nowadays parents are most most most of the people most of the parents they give to their children what makes the children happy sometimes that may cause US
Problems but our God the father knows he gives us what we need if when we prayed if we did not get something it means that better than that something we may be going to get or maybe that is not needed that time we need to have so being a sense of divine Pro
Providence will help us to depend on God being a children we are not living by ourselves for our food and clothing everything is given by our parents same thing what we need in our life we are depending on our parents same thing we need to learn for everything to depend
On God Alone we are not Gods on the earth to fulfill everything we need to learn that we are children of Father God the father so we need to learn to depend on him yes Jesus says in John gospel 14 chapter 14: 1 let not your hearts be troubled
Believe in God believe also in me not worry because of many problems came all that you had everything you might have lost that is we see the example of job he had everything that everything came from the god that that’s why job rightly tells that when you received good things from
God are you not ready to receive the bad things should we not receive the bad things he he completely depended on God so he got back everything more than what we had what he had earlier that should be our dependency on the father because we our attitude towards God is as our
Father and as a Christian we need to accept the word of God we need to accept and walk in that and we need to depend believe in his word that he will take care of us by worrying are you ready are you able to change even a drop of
Thing one hair that is Fallen are we able to put it back no then why worrying by worry in how what are we going to do nothing we are going to gain so the attitude of making God as a father will create the dependency on God in believing the Divine providential
Care if you believe if you believe that will take place and when you start being dependent God you will be a free child we have no worries for tomorrow we know tomorrow God will provide everything for us when you have worries tomorrow what should be eating what should be cooking what
Should we make what should we bring what should we give how to come collect the money how to make the money these was our worries that will be going on in our thing that is why we need to learn to depend on God that is why in The Book of
Prophet Isaiah chapter 49 16 words we see God has written your name on the farm and he holds in his pal he calls you by name behold I have gra you on the palm of my hands you all are your walls are continually before me so to protect when israels were in
Problem they were protected and they walked on the dry sea the disciples who believed in Jesus they left everything and followed him many prophets followed God left everything Abraham left everything there but God gave him plenty that should be our dependency if you walk through the fire and water I
Will be there even the burning smell will not be there that’s why their Hy goes like this I like this himy so much you are precious to me this we see Isaiah chapter 43 if you have time just read my children you are precious to me you are precious to
Me you are dear to my heart I will love you forever forever forever remember not your past anymore something new I’m doing for you you in the wilderness I will make your way in the days Rivers will flow will flow will flow fear not I have redeemed
You deep Waters will not overwhelm you burning flames will not consume you I will be ever beside you to deliver you he will be there at our side the next attitude that we are going to seek is learn is attitude of paternity human solidarity that we are going to
Learn we are created in image of God and we are surrender with the rational soul and all that men we have is all that we need to know that everyone in this world is created by God himself if he has created all of us in his own image you need to accept the
Other as you need to see God in the other rightly St Austine courts we all are called to live in one heart and one soul and St Paul wrly quotes we are many bodies but we need to have only one soul and one mind one mind and one
Heart we need to feel for the our brethren in this world today we see all these uh difficulties that we face as a community of the world we need to protect one another we never even in our mind think of harming the other we need to feel for the other
Person though that we will we are brothers accept everyone as a brother and sister once you seek for righteousness you live your life properly without harming a person that will lead the other even in that right path what you give that come back to us if you are generous that generosity will
Be come back to you one day if you are kind that will come back to you that kindness will be coming back to you if you show partiality to towards the other that will come back to you if you are not sincere that will come back to you
The good works that you give that good will come back to you one day even in your time even after your time so that belongingness should bring all of us together as a family on this Earth the prin principle of solidarity is a direct demand of human and Christian
Brotherhood it demands the solidarity feeling with one another we need to try to If Today something happens in the world you and me all are responsible for that even today the Russia is fighting with Ukraine the poor country if the Ukraine is fa facing that problem we all should feel the pinch of
That pain because they are our brothers they are in Ukraine or they are in America or they are in Russia all we are brothers and sisters so we need to support these people with our prayer let this world have the peace the the attitude of friend friendship ship must go beyond our
Material Goods but nowadays when you see two people are walking maybe belong to the same family or two friends are walking you will see both will be in the phones we don’t feel for the other even nowadays when somebody dies in olden days we hear that when somebody dies the
Whole village will be gathering now even in few Villages that thing is there happens nowadays everybody takes a part and start taking the photos of near to the dead body where are we reaching when that some accident is going on we will take the videos some
Rape is going on we will be taking the videos where is our solidarity where where are we going how will we end up any accident happened instead of taking that person acting on that taking him to the hospital or informing the police in short of that we will take the before
That person reach to the hospital we will we will be posting that in the um Facebook or YouTube all this okay for a good purpose your posting uh is okay for certain things which are not not to be posted in the YouTubes or Facebooks we do it instead of acting there showing
The solidarity there peing with the other we forget two friends are walking attending the phones family people are sitting for the food all are with their own world one are one is with the laptop one is with the phone one is with the iPod it’s I what all
Things so we being if that is why Jesus tells whatever you do for the list of my brother is done to me whatsoever you do to the list of my brotherr that is done to me if you have did something or helped someone that you have done not to
That person alone you have done for the God who created you the father I hope after this class you you will have the attitude of solidarity and feeling for the other console your friends if they have failed you have got a highest Mark we will be enjoying and
Telling you failed you failed in short of saying that next time you will get it keep an encouraging words the next thing that we are going to learn the third attitude is a sense of goodness and optimism which nowadays we don’t see at all this is a positive attitude that
Enables us to see the goodness and in others and helps us to treat everyone equally respect now it is we see those who have got so much of wealth we respect them those who are in power we respect them you respect I’m not telling you don’t respect respect your teachers preach yes
You have to respect I’m not telling if you see and beggar how will be our action in the bus when we travel if there is decently dressed that fellow or a girl or a lady anyone we give them place to sit next to us but if they have
Dresses not neat and proper we feel so uncomfortable they also is created by God and we after all we are children of father if they sit next to us nothing is going to happen but you need to see in that person The God Who created you this when sometimes before you
Experience the person we start already telling this person is like this like this we may be heard from somebody that that is their experience that is not your experience live with that person try to see the goodness and learn to say that in what situation that person might have
Behaved don’t go on PO that person you have been like this and you are like this you will never change if you feel that everybody should see you as a good person everybody should be good with you then try to be that person give that same measure to that to the
Others always only look for don’t look for your own welfare nowadays that is what we see what is happening in the world all these political leaders everyone will be there filling their own Pockets instead of looking for the welfare of the people people have selected them people have put them but
They F their pockets the rich becomes the Richer the poor becomes the poorer after all after death nothing we are going to take with us The Optimist know that that they that we are welfare is duer to Heart of being goodness is always an asset to be good is a
Great Optimist believe that in the long run truth will prevail but optimis does not necessary mean that nothing is unnecessary can become so learn to see the goodness in others be an optimist person dear children with this the fifth chapter first part we finished once again I want to repeat we
Have learned here about St Paul we learn the Christian Visions we learned the Christian attitude we learned so I I think this class should at least some part of our life should change that feeling for the other making God as our father making everyone as our
Brethren so I request all of you dear children close your rise for a moment and thank God for this time thank you Lord for gift of this time thank you for helping us to listen to this class give us great grace to develop the attitude of
Yours in order to reach to the vision of Christian Life we make this prayer through Christ Our Lord amen thank you dear children see you in the next class may God bless you all
