Patrick,

Thank you for making very insightful contributions to our discussion this week. You declare, the Apostle "Paul's reaffirms that the only thing we need concern ourselves with is the will of God. Memorizing these lines and repeating them daily they become the Christian mantra to become mindful in the mindfulness of Jesus." I concur with your credo.

    Stoicism first originated as an ancient Greek Philosophy founded by Zeno of modern day Cyprus in 300 BCE originally influenced by Socrates and the Cynics. [5] The philosophy began to flourish in the period of the Roman Empire influencing many people including early Christians. Whether the citizens of the Roman Empire were aware of it or not, the morals within it were prominently centered around stoicism.

    The Understanding Service project, though difficult to schedule and complete, was extremely formative in my understanding of living a true Christian lifestyle. In my interviews with Abbot Brian, my aunt Vera Fernandes, and my best friend Ranvir Bhatia, I learned key information about how to seamlessly integrate service into my own life. Even though people like my friend Ranvir are not Catholic, there is still a place for service in everyone’s life and I learned a lot of things from his Hindu perspective on service that I can incorporate to be an even better Catholic. Ultimately, the experience was truly special and I know is something I will carry on for the rest of my life.…

    A Christian life is a “life of agapic love and service” that helps “find who you are and who God is by giving yourself away in loving service to others” (Himes 44). In order to live a Christian life and to have a relationship with God, we must live and do things out of our hearts and love. The pure and genuine feelings of our actions will create genuine relationships and actions. In my Christian life, I tend to feel guilty while serving others. For example, I tend to feel sorry about the people I serve in the Tenderloin at the Curry Senior Center and in the Lasallian Vincentian Youth club.…

But with our society today, no one really knows what true hero is, everyone thinks it's some football player or someone who is famous, probably even some random person on the street!
