Mengapa Agama Membutuhkan Mujizat


Agama adalah sebuah Kepercayaan terhadap Kehidupan roh yang akan datang.  Yang mana Tubuh kita akan diubah menjadi Tubuh Kemuliaan.  Dan karena Kehidupan itu diluar dari Nature atau Dimensi kita, maka kehidupan itu disebut sebagai Kehidupan Supranatural.

Yesus Anak Allah, Bagaimana Mungkin Dia Allah itu sendiri?

 
         

                 Pengertian Islam yang salah tentang sebutan 'Yesus Anak Allah', adalah mengira Allah punya anak secara Lahiriah.  Padahal sebutan Yesus 'Anak Allah' adalah sebuah Istilah, atau Kiasan, atau Julukan... dari Allah Yang Menjadi Manusia.

Wake Up the World ~ Pope Francis

 



�Religious life ought to promote growth in the Church by way of attraction. The Church must be attractive. Wake up the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living! It is possible to live differently in this world,� Pope Francis said in conversation with the Union of Superiors General of Men 29 November 2014 in the Vatican. Italian Jesuit journal, La Civilt� Cattolica is publishing an article on the dialogue between the Catholic Church�s first Jesuit Pope and the Union of Superiors General of Men. 

�It is possible to live differently in this world. We are speaking of an eschatological outlook, of the values of the Kingdom incarnated here, on this earth. It is a question of leaving everything to follow the Lord. No, I do not want to say �radical�. Evangelical radicality is not only for religious: it is demanded of all. But religious follow the Lord in a special way, in a prophetic way. It is this witness that I expect of you. Religious should be men and women who are able to wake the world up,� Pope Francis said. �Life is complicated,� Pope Francis recalled. �It consists of grace and sin.� �He who does not sin is not human. We all make mistakes and we need to recognise our weakness. A religious who recognises himself as weak and a sinner does not negate the witness that he is called to give, rather he reinforces it and this is good for everyone. What I expect of you therefore is to give witness. I want this special witness from religious.�

The 15-page article (available in English at the La Civilt� Cattolica website) documents the views of Pope Francis on religious life.

2016 ~ Holy Year of Mercy

 

On 13 March, 2015, Pope Francis has declared an extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy which will highlight the Catholic Church's mission to be a witness of mercy. It will begin on 8 December 2015, on the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of the Ecumenical Vatican Council II and will run until the Feast of Christ the King on 20 November 2016. The theme of the year will be "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful� (cfr. Luke 6:36). The logo for the year is as below, where we see Christ Jesus carrying a man sideways on His shoulders (instead of a lamb), and there are three eyes visible, the centre one clearly being shared between Christ and the man.

....not to condemn anyone for eternity.� Rather, �It is to pour out the balm of God�s mercy on all those who ask for it with a sincere heart. The way of the church is precisely to leave her four walls behind and to go out in search of those who are distant, those essentially on the �outskirts� of life; to adopt fully God�s own approach; to follow the Master who said: �Those who are well have no need of the physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call, not the righteous but sinners to repentance.�

�Jesus� call encourages each of us to look underneath the surface of things,� the Pope explained, "particularly when we are face to face with a person. We are called to look beyond and to focus on the heart in order to see how much generosity one is capable of. No one can be excluded from God�s mercy; everyone knows how to access it and the Church is a home that welcomes all and rejects no one. Its doors remain wide open so that those who are touched by grace can find the certainty of forgiveness. The greater the sin, the deeper Church�s love must be for those who convert.�
