Story of the principal

"Be always pleased. Pray consistently. Appreciate anything." -Letter five chapters 16 sections - 18 sections - to a believer of the Thessalonians
2014-07-07
 On the other day, I will go to Tokyo on a business trip, and the student of two classes of a certain class may miss a report for two hours. The point of the Bible that I chose was a point of the letter of St. Paul including the upper point. I read seriously if I read the report after coming home and made a fair copy, and interpretation for oneself was written. While is reading; of students was sincere, and noticed a posture opposite to the point of the Bible, and was a strange story, but was impressed strangely saying "this student school where were which faced things well in this way was still more cheerful.".
 
  However, there were some similar words in a report. "I felt the word to tell "to be always pleased." to be difficult. When it becomes sad, and this is because it cannot be pleased when it may be hot.
 
  Surely exactly like that. I experience it by everyday life well how difficult it is "to live when I think commonly while always living a life with pleasure, and always praying to God, and always thanking you". As students wrote it, our heart becomes full by uneasiness and cares saying "a sad thing and a painful thing may be hard". The joy fades away when I think about a cause of the sorrow if it is an ordinary person and demands human comfort and encouragement before praying to God.
 
  Why would Paul write it like that? Would you write that you could not do it? I never think that I wrote that Paul cannot do it. It may be pleasant that the thing that is hard if I live is sad. But I think that Paul might not absolutize the world called feelings. It is natural to live in the world of feelings if I live as a human being. But I think that I paid more attention to the world in the place more than the world. It is the valley of tears, and the world is the world of the infirmities of old age agony of death and thinks that it is not that it is strange to think that it is important to send daily life that is uneventfulness.
 
  However, Paul was a person of the faith to Christ. I seemed to understand the meaning of pains of the world deeply. In himself, a life "there has been that was wrecked on the sea for one day three times. Often go on a trip, the difficulty of the river, the difficulty of the thief……I encountered the difficulty in the town, the difficulty in the wilderness, a marine difficulty and had a hard time and broke it and spent it without often sleeping and I starved and longed, and there was it without often eating and I was numb and have been for the cold in nude. (cf. II Corinth 11 chapters 25-27)
 
  His life was the always always opposite sides of the same coin with big danger. Were you able to be always pleased? Would you always pray? Were you able to always appreciate it about all? The answer, "yes."
 
  It was his mission to notify of a cross of Christ and death and revival for him, and I occurred by it, suffering was the experience of the pains that Christ had the same as being suffered by a cross. If oneself assumed the pains and died as Christ assumed the weakness of all people, and having died, I strongly believed that it revived with Christ.
 
  Therefore Paul never avoided suffering and thinks that no persecution would be afraid of the death. There is joy to serve as a mission and thinks that I always prayed to continue keeping the heart. I think that joy called (cf. Galatia two chapters 20 sections) that "Christ always lives for to the house of me" might meet him. Therefore I received it before the hard event as they were even if I encountered any pains and might thank God at any time.
 
  I am confused at the time of pains and blame another person, and we have stupidity to blame oneself, too. I understand neither the pains of the person nor the trouble without seeing only the surface of the person. In addition, I am not going to know. I sometimes think that I may understand in the direction that strangely got a wrong human being saying that it is a human being.
 
  It is carnal and I have a meaning about all and, not sense of values, "joy comes after the pains", speak that there is time about all with Ecclesiastes. In other words, not outlook on narrow human being by the human being, I think that the mission that we should really tell for the first time when I stare at own life in existence of God and Jesus Christ's way of life may be seen. In addition, St. Paul thinks that it was the person who gave a life to Christ on Christ's way of life.
 
  I convey what as a Catholic school and think that the report of students told the good opportunity to let you think about what I should be modelled after.
