We are forgiven sinners

WE ARE FORGIVEN SINNERS

11th Sunday of the year (2016)
1. We are weak, easy to fall, especially, in sex affair.
- God was surprised at what David did.  David, the great king in the first reading fell before a married woman. (Explain "anointed, delivered, gave, ... Why?"). It seems that God could not understand him.
- Why do they call the woman in today's Gospel sinner, bad woman of the city? Because (sorry to say) several men fell between the two legs of this lady. If not they did not call her prostitute. I believe that most of them got married, they had wives. But why?
- Some years back, some chinese working on Tamale Studium enticed some school girls, slept with them and ran away. And recently, some eastern corridor men lured some local girls, spent nights with them, and even recorded videos to watch again. Why?
Experienced seniors may give us an answer when they left us the saying: "The apple at the other side of the fence is always sweet". Many people in our society are having wives, but they get fed up of them and try to seek something new. Because they everyday they have been eating tezzet, they think rice is better, when they chop rice for sometimes, they get fed up with rice, they will think potatoes would be the best. But when those who have been eating potatoes for long, they would think rice seems better. And as they eat rice for sometimes, they will think maybe tizzet is the best, then they go for tizzet. Those eating rice would do the same.
That is why they have a business called "Sugar baby tour" for those who have got fed up with his or her own food. (Explain).
So, people are chasing for new experiences, desire or cupidity of human beings is bottomless. A container without bottom cannot be filled. Moreover, it is always empty. The more we have the more we want.

Theme: DO NOT FEAR! ĐỪNG SỢ!

God rises two sons of two widow from death.
Who are widows? - Inactive-economic state, helpless, powerless. If something happens, they only cry. They fear many things: anybody can harm them, witchcraft, zuzu (enchantment), lack of food, sickness, death...
They present for human race, for all of us. We all are widows. We are helpless, powerless, fear many things.
