Title: Gospel Meditation (Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross-)
Author: St. John the Evangelist
Source: Jn 3:13-17
In this Gospel, Jesus explained to Nicodemus that, no one has ever
reached up heaven except the Son of Man. In His explanation, He included
Moses to explain that if the serpent has been lifted in heaven, so how much
more the Son of Man be lifted up into heaven. In Gods mercy and
compassion he sent his son to restore the dignity and integrity of human.
Gods love is unfathomable, endless and eternal. For God so loved the world,
this gospel speak about the merciful love of God to his people. God sent his
son to become a sign of his love by experiencing the pain through his
passion, salvation through his death on the Cross, and hope through his
resurrection.

This topic was taken from the book entitled, Love and Responsibility
by Karol Wojtyla. The focal point of this topic is the fundamental ethical
characteristic of love.

should start with knowing or discovering and it will end in a relationship, in a
deeper sense, which is marriage.

Title: The Ethical Issues and Solution in the Modern Society
Author: Young C. Tak
Source: The Study of Ethical Issues and Solutions in the Modern Society
-Centered on Marriage and Remarriage in South KoreaThis thesis is centered on the ethical issues in the modern society
particularly on the problem of Divorce. The research was all about the
cause and effect of failed relationship. As I was scanning and looking for a
source, I incidentally read the term, porneia which means fornication or in
English term unfaithfulness. It does not mean of adultery rather adultery
comes from the Greek word moicea that refers to adultery itself. In other
words, this sentence would just like to form distinction between the word
adultery and fornication.

In this gospel Jesus tells about the Parable of the Sower. He specifies
four different types of soil on the seed falls: the path, the rocky ground,
thorns and thistles, and good soil. A believer can knew if his/ her faith is
strong when it is planted on a good soil however a believer whose faith is not
firm is most likely likened to a seed that falls on the rocky ground. In this
gospel, he tried to separate those faith are strong and with those faith are
weak through the use of the parable of the sower.

Title: 3000 religious leave religious life each year.
Author: Fr. John Zuhlsdorf
Source: Fr. Z's Blog
In this article, it was stated that almost 3,000 men and women
religious person leave the consecrated life each year. This increasing rate of
separation was due to the absence of spiritual life, loss of a sense of
community, and a loss of sense of belonging to the Church. While some
other, cases of separation is because of problem in personal identity, and
sexual morality of man.

achieving goals and purposes are impossible to achieve. Unlike that if there

John Lockes believes, Every man has a property in his own person.
This nobody has a right to, but himself. He believe that man has the
capacity to perform on his own. It was proven and tested by him himself who
also struggle throughout his life just to attain the state he wanted for himself.
That as man must know how to decide for his own future, must know how to
accept defeat, and must know how to understand human being. Thus by
means of this success will just come along the way as long as we/ I put effort
on it with additional importance to ones desire in life.
I guess the Philosophy of Jon Lockes is also a reminder and a
good inspiration for me, as I aspire for my future. That like John Locke who
met his experiences along the way, bad and good, but still because of his
persistency he became successful as man and his Philosophy were known
throughout the Earth.

Title: Man is a creature with a material body and spiritual soul, made by God
in his likeness.
Author: Catholic Bishop of the Philippines Commission on Youth (CBCP)
Source: Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church
Man is a creature with a material body and spiritual soul, made by God in his
likeness.
God made the body of man in a special manner; he created them out
of his image and goodness. Not only that he created them out of his image,
he gave them life, both body and spirit, and together with that are the gift of
freewill and freedom. All man has achieved all these capacities. In fact, Man,
because he has spiritual soul, has dominion over the other earthly creature
and is perfect image of God than anything else on this earth.
In His creation, he includes Jesus as sign of His love to humanity; in
respect to the second divine nature of God, he created Him as the most
perfect being. Since Jesus is human, he also acquired the things given by
God to human race, the gift of life both body and soul. Jesus has his own
spirit/ soul because without the soul the body would not have life. Therefore,
if Jesus would not have soul, he will not even exist in this world. God may not
be able to achieve the mercy he want for whole human race of which
through his Son may it be possible. He need to experience
life
through
public ministry, his passion to be with man in pain, his death- to get life from
darkness and resurrection- to bring hope to people who fail to do what God
wanted to do.

Title: Ethical analysis of Love (Focus on Divorce)
Author: Karol Wojtyla
Source: Love and Responsibility
Aside from extrajudicial killing, abortion, suicide, wars, and climate change, the
issue of divorce is one of the major concerns of the Church today. Since many of these
countries carried out divorce for their respective society as laws, maybe as norms, are
rooted in Christian Doctrines and Tradition, the Church has the responsibility, to stand
for what is right, to assess this certain issue with adequate support based on the moral
standard of the Church, the scripture, and the teachings of Jesus.
The scripture would attest that marriage is a sacred institution made by God, it is
then the union of man and woman should live and last forever, it is a gift, thus it is
Sacred. In the beginning, the Creator made male and female, and said, For this cause
a man shall leave his mother and father, and cleave to his wife, and the two shall
become one flesh (Genesis 2.24). This union, which was established by God himself,
of both man and woman are no longer two but one flesh. They become one flesh to
perform the responsibility they made for each other not temporarily but for life.
Therefore, whoever divorces his wife/ husband and marries another person are
committing adultery, according to Jesus, let no man put away their covenant to one
another, what the Lord has joined should last forever.
