Fraternal Correction is Beautiful
Gospel Commentary for 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
By Father Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap
ROME, SEPT. 5, 2008 (Zenit.org).- In the Gospel this Sunday we read: “Jesus said to his disciples: ‘If your brother sins, go and admonish him privately; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother.’”
Jesus speaks of all sins; he does not restrict the field to sins committed against us. In this latter sort of case, it is hard to know whether what moves us is zeal for truth or our own wounded pride. In any case, it would be more of a self-defense than a fraternal correction. When the sin is against us, the first duty is not correction but forgiveness.
Why does Jesus say to admonish your brother privately? Above all, this injunction has respect for your brother’s good name, his dignity in view.
The worst thing would be to want to correct a husband in the presence of his wife or a wife in the presence of her husband, a father in front of his children, a teacher in front of pupils, or a superior in the presence of inferiors; in other words, in the presence of those whose esteem is important for the person in question? The situation will soon become a public trial. It would be very difficult for the person to accept the correction well. His dignity would be compromised.
Jesus says that the admonishment should take place privately to give the person the chance to defend himself and explain his actions in complete freedom. Many times what appears to an outside observer to be a sin is not in the intention of the person who committed it. A frank explanation clears up many misunderstandings. But this is no longer possible when the person is publicly redressed and the incident brought to the awareness of others.
When, for whatever reason, fraternal correction is not possible in private, there is something that must never be done in its place, and that is to divulge, without good reason, one’s brother’s fault, to speak ill of him or, indeed, to calumniate him, proposing as fact something that is not, or exaggerating the fault. “Do not speak ill of one another,” Scripture says (James 4:11). Gossip is not something innocent; it is ugly and reprehensible.
A woman once went to St. Philip Neri for confession, accusing herself badmouthing people. The saint absolved her but gave her a strange penance. He told her to go home, get a hen and come back, plucking the bird’s feathers as she walked along the street. When she had returned to him he said: “Now go back home and, as you go, pick up each feather that you plucked on the way.” The woman told him that it would be impossible since the wind had almost certainly blown them away in the meantime. But St. Philip was prepared: “You see,” he said, “just as it is impossible to pick up the feathers once the wind has scattered them, it is likewise impossible to gather gossip and calumnies back up once they have come out of our mouth.”
Returning to the theme of the correction, we should say that the good outcome of the correction does not always depend on us; despite our best intentions, the other may not accept the correction, he may harden. But this can be compensated for: When we ourselves are corrected, the good outcome does depend on us! Indeed, I could very well be the person who “who has sinned” and the “corrector” could easily be someone else: husband, wife, friend, confrere or father superior. In sum, there is not only active correction but passive correction; there is not only the duty to correct but the duty to allow yourself to be corrected. And it is precisely here that we can see whether someone is mature enough to correct others. Whoever wants to correct someone must be ready, in turn, to be corrected. When you see someone accept an observation and you hear him or her answer with simplicity: “You are right. Thanks for letting me know!” Doff your cap because you are in the presence of a true man or true woman. Christ’s teaching about fraternal correction must always be read together with what he says on another occasion: “Why do you regard the speck in your brother’s eye and ignore the bean in your own? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’ when you do not see the beam that is in yours” (Luke 6:41)? What Jesus has taught us about correction can be very useful in raising children too. Correction is one of the parent’s fundamental duties. “What son is not disciplined by his father?” Scripture says (Hebrews 12:7); and again: “Straighten the little plant while it is still young if you do not want it to be permanently crooked.” Completely renouncing every form of correction is one of the worst things that you can do to your children and unfortunately it very common today. You must simply take care that the correction itself does not become an accusation or a criticism. In correcting you should just stick to reproving the error that was committed; don’t generalize it and reproach everything about the child and his conduct. Instead, use the correction to point out all the good things that you see in the child and how you expect much better from him, in such away that the correction becomes encouragement rather than disqualification. This was the method that St. John Bosco used with children. It is not easy in individual cases to know whether it is better to correct something or let it go, speak or be silent. This is why it is important to remember the Golden Rule, valid in all cases, that St. Paul offers in the second letter: “Owe each other nothing but the debt of mutual love. […] Love does evil to no one.” Augustine synthesized everything in the maxim, “Love and do what you will.” You must make sure above all that in your heart there is a fundamental disposition of welcome toward other persons. If you have this, then whatever you do, whether you correct or remain silent, you will be doing the right thing, because love “does evil to no one.” [Translation by Joseph G. Trabbic] * * * Father Raniero Cantalamessa is the Pontifical Household preacher. The readings for this Sunday Ezekiel 33:7-9; Romans 13:8-10; Matthew 18:15-20.

Read MacDrive in Windows
In relation to my post, there is a way also to read macdrive in windows pc. I give you this link and this is only good for 5 days. This is good enough to get the files. You may also want the pirated installer. You must disable to antivirus temporarily to run the crack or keygenerator. CAUTION -> Disable internet first then activate the macdrive with the "no internet connection" option. Otherwise, you have to pay the software for permanent installation.

Language of God
from Fr. Cantalamessa, OFM
In this Sunday's Gospel we hear Jesus saying: "If anyone would come after me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for I shall find it. "What does "denying oneself"? Prior to that, why deny yourself? We know that aroused the indignation of the philosopher Nietzsche, this application of the gospel. I begin to answer with an example. During the Nazi persecution of Jews loads many trains from every part of Europe to the extermination camps. They were encouraged to come up with false promises of being taken to places best for their own good, as they were led to their downfall. It happened sometimes that one stop the train someone who knew the truth, called out of hiding to passengers get off, flee, and some could not. The example is a bit 'strong, but expresses something of our situation. The train of life on which we travel is approaching death. On this, at least there's no doubt. Our natural self, being mortal, is destined to end. What gives us the gospel when it exhorts us to deny ourselves, is to get off this train and go to another that leads to life. The train that leads to life is faith in Him who said: "Whoever believes in me, though dead, shall live." Paul had made this "transfer" and describes it thus: "It is no longer live, Christ lives in me ".If we assume the ego of Christ we become immortal because he, risen from the dead, dies no more. Here's what they want to say the words that we heard: "Whosoever will save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it." Then it is clear that denying oneself is not a defeatist and self-defeating, but the bold smarter we can make in life. But we must do immediately for clarification. Jesus does not ask to deny "what we are," but that "we have become." We are the image of God, so we are something "very good", as he said God himself, after having created man and woman. What we need is not to deny what God has done, but what we did, by misusing our freedom. In other words, the evil tendencies, sin, all of which are like overlapping scales back the original.
Years ago, were discovered in the seabed off the Ionian coast, two shapeless masses that they had a vague resemblance to human bodies, covered, as were, in marine deposits. Were brought to the surface and painstakingly cleaned and freed. Today is the famous "Bronze Warriors", the Museum of Reggio Calabria, one of the most admired sculptures of antiquity. These examples help us understand the positive aspect is that the Gospel proposal. We resemble, in spirit, those statues before restoration. The beautiful image of God we should be, was covered with seven layers which are the seven deadly sins. Maybe it's not bad to recall if we had forgotten. They are: pride, avarice, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy and sloth. St. Paul calls this disfigured image of "the earthly image," as opposed to the "heavenly image," which is Christ-likeness. "deny oneself" is thus not a task for death but for life, for beauty and joy.
It is also to learn the language of true love. Imagine, said the great philosopher of the last century, Kierkegaard, a purely human. Two young men they love. However, belong to two different nations and speak two completely different languages. If their love is to survive and grow, you must either learn the language. Otherwise it will not be able to communicate and their love will not last. So, commented, takes place between us and God. We speak the language of the flesh, and him the gift of the spirit; we the selfishness, him that of love. Give Up Self And and learn the language of God in order to be able to communicate with him, but it is also learn the language that allows us to communicate between us.

Stewards
21st Wk Friday
Matthew 25:14-30
The scriptures tells us that the behavior we ought to have with regards to our responsibilities is that of stewardship. I believe that our attitude towards things or people come to its exemplary state when we know that we are responsible to them in front of our Lord. It is because He always reminds us of the essence or the absolute truths of everything. They are not subject to our whims even with the most rational thought. Nor things in their immediate sense dictate the meaning. Means and ends cannot be overturned. Our faith makes us become in touch with the reality of our lives in its most earthly richness if viewed from the heavens.
The phrase "since you are responsible with 'small matters'..." already give us a hint to the essence of things. We race to grandiosity even equate it as God's blessing. There is however far more grandiose even with the uncontestable "wala ka sa lolo ko." This thing passes unnoticed from our eyes especially when we have many attachments but the scriptures for today hit it directly. It is the "small matters." We may see that big things define our live but the gospel says 'small matters STILL MATTER.' Small matters reveal the content of our hearts and its true longing. Even if its covered with beautiful wraps still it is there. The scriptures suggest that it can be nourished only with the sense of being a steward. It is being the steward of the Lord and not just having possessions that satisfy our hearts. The condemnation is a warning. It is not punishment. In the reality of our lives, those who neglect the voice of the Lord and continue to acquire or esteem their hearts with superfluous things often fail. Small matters are important because as we know, people's hearts are revealed with the way they behave with little things and little people. The core of the person comes to fore. What shapes our lives are simple expressions of love, genuine friendships, unknown sacrifices and many others. I believe that these are the essential things, the foundations of all things without which all externalities will collapse. The cross of Jesus reveal these things. A tree cannot stand without the roots and so external things may break us if not rooted with their meanings. You may not understand or take this but what I suggest is that "be careful" or at least "think again."
