REFLECTION ON STEVE JOBS' DEATH



Keep my commands and live, my teaching as the APPLE of your eye; Bind them on your fingers, write them on the TABLET of your heart. (Proverbs 7:2-3 - New American Bible)

God invents the inventors. He installs the original software called the soul together with applications such as the intellect and the will. He also provides the hardware called the body to run hand in hand with the soul. The amazing compatibility between the intellect and the brain, or the will and the heart, can only be made possible by Divine Wisdom. He is the Great Internet to whom all creatures are connected. Let’s give Him more than just our “like,” but our whole profile, our whole self (Mat. 22:37.)

  3. There is a minor problem though. Steve Jobs is a Buddhist, whose biological father is a Muslim. Nowhere in his blood is he a Christian, much less a Catholic

  4. DEAR ANONYMOUS,

    THERE IS NO STATEMENT THERE CLAIMING THAT STEVE JOBS IS A CATHOLIC. SO WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

    IF HE IS NOT A CATHOLIC IT DOES NOT LESSEN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS CONTRIBUTION TO HUMANITY. DON'T FORGET THAT MANY OF THE VITAMINS AND MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING OR SAVING LIVES OF MILLIONS WERE PRODUCED BY NON-CATHOLIC SCIENTISTS YET WE ARE TALKING THEM.

    THE ISSUE HERE IS THE GREATNESS OF THE MAN AND NOT HIS FAITH ALTHOUGH I WANTED HIM TO BE CATHOLIC. CAN WE NOT HONOR GREAT MEN AND WOMEN OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, POLITICS AND SPORTS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CATHOLICS?

  5. Well said, Father.
    "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
    1 Corinthians 13:13
    There is no doubt Steve Jobs was following God's words in his life even though he's not a Catholic.
