“Think of lovely thoughts”

10^th Wk (Mt 5: 27-32)

I.Peter Pan – kilala nyo ba si Peter Pan. Sa Peter Pan the Movie, Peter Pan is able to fly. He can fly through the air. Bakit?

- ang mga batang kasama niya, wanted to be able fly also. They jumped up and down, but they can’t.

-          so they asked Peter, “How do you do it?”

-          Peter says, “Think of lovely thoughts – think of happy thoughts. They will lift you up into the air.”

II.Peter Pan’s advice applies to today’s reading. Dito, Jesus warns us that we can sin with our minds as well as with our bodies.

“Anyone who looks at a woman and wants to posses her is guilty…in his heart.”

-          Ano ang dapat gawin, to avoid sin? What defense is there against such thoughts?

-          One defense is Peter Pan’s advice: “Think of lovely thoughts. They will lift you up into the air.”

-          In other words, “keep the mind filled with wholesome thoughts .”

III.My friends, the Gospel tells us that, we should weed out  ugly thoughts from our minds and plant it with lovely thoughts. Fill it with good thoughts that weeds have no place to grow.
