thoughts on the third Sunday of Advent
The financial crisis means that began with so many contemporaries concentrate minds. Greed is the issue, "full get the neck is not" of, by "golden handshake" in excess. But is it so surprising that the madness reigns, and people stop at nothing when it comes to maximized Self-interest is?
The turbo-capitalism has led to the establishment of systems to which enormous importance was recognized. The businesses of banking, insurance and even multinational companies based on the fact that largely lives are destroyed. All over the world people are working to inhumane conditions, are exploited, cheated, ignored law, cheated their wages. In return, managers have the sun shine on your belly, fattening in luxury restaurants and fly from A to B to C at the expense of others.
injustice arises out of the system disconnects the money-making performance. Million people to flay in unbearable Conditions day by day, and speak to the meager pay their lives are going to just completely inadequate. On the butter side of life landed Sunshine Boys play Monopoly with real money, and it put off in case of failure with a few Milliƶnchen. The gap between rich and poor is day after day for more.
At Christmas time there are some fundraisers who raise a little money for the people living on the edge of society. For banks, there is money in abundance, if the financial crisis to the economic boom to a standstill. To ensure further artificial growth, there are some "financial help" for impoverished banks, and then the share prices rise again. What would Jesus say to the enrichment at the expense of individual traders was humiliated and offended people a thorn in the eye?
Every person in this world has a right to live a decent life. The point is not that people accumulate money and then play out "mercy" once at Christmas time the great big shot. If only 10% of the banks now provided money (or the equivalent value) if the people who really need it, poverty would get at a few years. But the rich and powerful need of the poor, because only by their extravagance, their greed and their claims can be maintained. The powdered into the banks money will not benefit the poor people, but almost all of those who are most responsible for this fiasco.
For Jesus redistribution would be a matter of course. He was not about to reverse the situation, but to move rightly. His chances that he could succeed this today when he returned to the earth would be very small. People with vision do not fit into the world of capitalism with all the resulting parameters. Now it is time that people take and / or their corporate social responsibility, the donation of (large) go to charity at Christmas time to come. Otherwise, the collapse sooner or later inevitable.

Cervix Open At 7 Weeks Pregnant
thoughts for the second Advent
The holiday season brings many people closer together again. Unfortunately, often only in relation to the selection of Christmas gifts. And it is often a gauntlet when it comes to finding the "right" gift ...
It may not be so hard to respond to personal preferences of other people, and so as to implement ideas. It is not about to spend an immense amount of money for various gifts. While there may be people who expect expensive gifts, but is that - to become something profound - within the meaning of the "inventor"?
Jesus was already on the date of birth attended by three people who brought him gifts. These gifts were symbolic. It does not matter if they were actually made or not. The fact is that anyone can be a gift for other people. Who loves who gives himself. And who trusts in God who has no fear that he is not accepted. On Christmas Eve, then leads to friction when the real meaning of Christmas is not understood, and essential apart from the importance which represents the birth of Jesus for people of faith, just after the "recovery" of the evening as a family celebration or gift orgy is sought.
was born a man who grew into a personality. In every man put gifts that he can project both internally and externally. These endowments are the ones who can bring him closer to his fellow man. If these hidden gifts or was he never permitted to live out these gifts because he has been living the wrong life, then it will be difficult. A person clearly understands what it can do. She has understood what is at stake in life. She has stopped looking for answers to boring questions affecting only superficial structures of life. Jesus grew up and was in his early years, ready to throw his personality to bear. He has no was "fighting" lost because he denounced his foes delivered. No, he considered himself a son of God, who is called to bring people inner peace, and to point to the fact that the man is grown deep with God.
There is nothing worse than self-aggrandizement. Every person who is anxious to improve themselves, while generally on the other people, and creation "forget" ensures that the conditions are in this world the way they are. Jesus makes clear that no man may idolize themselves. As a substitute of idolatry often used the money to depend on which everything seems. It would go to people just about to throw your own personality into the equation, without any benefit to the ego - whether in the form of success, career, money or material goods - food for thought. The man can grow at its tasks only if he is not even defined as sole beneficiaries. The life of Jesus of course makes a nice example of what dedication can bring to God and the use of personal gifts for the benefit of others.
Christmas can bring new personalities in the world because people stop, to raise himself, and therefore no longer humiliate other human beings and all creation.
