Calm down... Mk 4.35-41

Sometimes we have to give the advice "calm down". The situation is burning, people get angry and loud - and now: "please calm down". The aim to calm down is to achieve a better common solution; a solution ore rational, more considerate, more just, more fitting into the situation - less emotional.
it you pray - pls calm down - God knows before you cry! cf confidence
if you cry - pls calm down - crying is disturbing - no confidence
if you believe - pls calm down - believe is the basic of knowledge
if you are angry - pls calm down - silence is deeper


Sometimes people feel: "we are going down" (because it began to blow a gale and the waves were braking into the boat - a situation everybody has experienced).


Every survey of the influence of the RCC shows "we are going down".
Don't cry - it's disturbing! Rather find the reasons "why we are going down". Speaking a language nobody can understand any more, teaching a morale, nobody follows -
change yourself (your language and morale) and you will go up.
Pope Francis is convinced: show mercy and the Church is going up.
The fear "going down" leads us to cry and we hear "calm down. That's good for us.


All the story starts with the decision "let us cross-over". Not the decision is wrong! But perhaps the time, the place, the circumstances, the strategy, the preparation ...
maybe you are not fit enough for the "cross-over".


The "cross-over" from the "world" into the "kingdom of God" (into the fullness of Life)
is an adventure. The intention of God (Holy Spirit) is with us and Jesus, the Immanuel,
is asleep. Return to his life-style and you will get the advice "calm down".
The advice "calm down" is a reminder for confidence. But this reminder is not excluding all your strength to observe the situation and to plan your strategy carefully.
If you feel our RCC is "going down" (maybe your are realistic) don't cry, but "calm down".
We hope in your calmness you will find the right strategy to turn the course and to build
up a better Church.
