Easter - time 2014: fresh wind ?

This liturgical time is a chance to consider the meaning of the Christian message:
Our God is "God of Life". Therefore He has called Jesus Christ into Life - and this:
for ever and ever.
AND WE ? ? ?
A) We hope God is also for us "God of Life" and He will call us, like Jesus Christ,
     into "Life for ever and ever".
B) But - today such hope is not enough...   we have to go a step further...
    We believe - it means: we declare and keep it as a reality, that God has already
    called us into "Life for ever and ever"; it's a FACT !
C) Taking "Life for ever and ever" as a reality, we try to shape our daily Life as a sign
    of this Easter-message. Our Life-style becomes a message.
D) The next step: we have to broaden our view. This Life-message is not only for me,
     it's a message for all. This is the raeson why we start to go together.
    Togetherness - love each other - means: we accept "Life for ever and ever" is for
    the whole creation.
[Jesu Life-style is not for many or for all - but for the Life of the World !]

The Easter-message is somehow clear but the messanger is not up to date!
a) The Church is not able to bring this message to the people convincingly.
b) The Church didn't create a language for the message to be understood in this
    modern world.
c) The Church refuses to change, to be reformed again.

Nicodemus already got the message (John 3.1-8): In the Christian Vision Jesus, man, the creation is born out of God (not only out of nature) - and this is a new view: born out of the "fulness of Life", out of the Spirit of God (in my translation:
born out of the "ENERGY of God")

IF this is the case: why we are beggar before God ? as the Church teaches us until today (2014). why we have slave-obedience in the Church as the bishops asks for ?
Why the human energy is not challenged - but suppressed even by Church-law ?

HOLY WEEK 2014

Palm-Sunday: For religious pious people of today - what means Palm-Sunday ?
Until now the Prophet of Nazareth is well known as a healer - for his enterprise:
the kingdom of God is at hand ! The fulness of Life is possibel ! as a first step:
people must be open (healed).
But now in the real world-situation his enterprise enters the political stage !
A new King for a new World! Palm-Sunday-Celebration means: we welcom the
"new king for the new world". We sing Hosianna...   we enjoy the entrance-procession; we are full of hope...
As we open the development of the old world into the new world, as we enter into the manipulation of the evolution, we open a very interesting but difficult way; how is reacting the existing old world to the promised new world ? Will there be confrontation ? of which kind ?

Are the baptized people aware that now the Baptism-card is not enough any more ?
As you follow Jesus Christ, singing Hosianna, you have no other way than to become a "politician". Together in public we work for a new world... 
It's nice to be a good person at home, to fulfill your familiar duties etc... but now you must get a political card. Not only the heart of the person is to be changed also the structure of the world has to be changed.

But don't be too afraid. The Catholic Church in Namibia is not ready to do such a step. Catholics go to the Church to pray: to ask God, HE may change the world;
Catholics as such they don't like to change... it's the duty of the Creator to change the world. Look at the prayers in all these Holy Days...   we like to remind God
to do the best for us and the world...   but we ?

Tha National PRAYER-DAY (06.03.2014) was a success...  but until now, the situation has not changed...  gbv goes on and on... 
and the Church has not the courage to declare: God has given the responsibility for the world into our hands! as the Body of Christ is given into our hands...
to transform God and Christ into Energy / radiation for a new world for a new Life.

WHICH kind of future is intended ?

The October-Bishops-Synod 2014 of the RCC and the National Prayer-Day in Namibia (06.03.2014) - such EVENTS show us "where we are" and such EVENTS may waken us up to heal the difficult situation.
The modern State may learn to act following the Constitution as secular and
the religious Christianity may learn following the prophet of Nazareth to perform a secular style of Christianity. The religious myths of the past are "desalinated",
unmasked ("Religion" is discovered as the administration of God by human beings).
God as the HOLY MYSTERY and his IMAGE created by homo sapiens again and again are not identical. The Spirit of the World as Creation, the World as LOGOS-Revelation is at hand. We have to manage the echo of the reality.

Already the prophet Isaiah (67.17-21) knows the decision of God:
"Now I create new heavens and new earth"  Be glad and rejoice for ever...

Once upon a time there were a boy + a girl. The boy thanked God for what he has created and the girl wondered: Why your creation is not perfect ? Finally God answered: At the moment as I have created Adam + Eve, I' ve decided: they will not be for nothing ! And the boy nodded: thanks for hands, brain and heart, given at our disposal ! But the girl still persists: why - as your hands, your brain, your heart - we don't make it perfect ?  And God whispers: because you are perfect like me: never ends, no boundaries, always a new creation...

The new cration is not made by God's intervention !
The stewards must come together and go in three directions:
a) In our situation WHAT do WE have to do ?
b) HOW WE do it ?
c) As WE are now the joy of perfection.

God has rescued me from my illusions (not to be for nothing)
                                from my loneliness (we are 7 billions)
                                from  my enemies (we are one)
                                from my darkness (it's now dawn / resurrection-way)
