00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:01.280
Hello, everybody.
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.719
This is Deacon Louis Zemlik here in the Diocese of Kalamazoo.
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.199
We're glad you're with us here today on our podcast in this 23rd Sunday in ordinary time.
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.320
So it is also a holiday weekend, Labor Day weekend.
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:24.800
So I think if you've got delivery trucks delivering stuff in your neighborhood on Labor Day, I would not buy from them.
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.280
So you'd probably know who I'm talking about.
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:37.759
But I'm a business, I'm a small owner of a business, uh, you know, Zimblick, Zimlick.com, Zimblick office supplies, furniture and janitorial supplies and all that stuff.
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.640
And I'll tell you, my brothers and sisters, you know, there's probably going to be a turnaround for a small business.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.600
I know there is.
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.079
It's uh might take five or ten years, but uh, I think it's gonna happen.
00:00:48.320 --> 00:01:01.200
And I think it's very much uh kind of how the church uh, you know, the church is worldwide, but it's very granular down to the individual communities, which is what we should be.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:06.400
Um I think forget what they call it, subsidiarity, I think it is.
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.959
But it's um probably where they get the word subsidiary.
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:20.319
But it's in any case, um, not to make this about business, but it's about uh jobs, you know, and things like that in our own communities.
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.040
But also not to worry, you know, not to get all wound up on all the stuff that's on the internet and YouTube.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.959
And did you see this guy on the internet and that guy and the other?
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:37.840
Just listen to your it's okay to, but just don't become obsessed with it, okay?
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.760
Don't become obsessed with Fox News or CNN or or uh or NPR.
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.400
You know, I see people who listen to NPR.
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:47.920
They are like robots.
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.400
They are like liberal robots.
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.760
You know, everything is like it's almost like listening to them is almost like listening to the program itself, right?
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.519
And it's just boring.
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:00.719
It's just boring.
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.959
The political garbage is boring.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.760
I'm old enough now, I'm 67 years old now.
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.840
I I tell you, you guys, this is just a regurgitation.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.840
You know, I'm two-thirds of my life, if not more, is gone.
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.439
And it is just a regurgitation of the same old crap.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:25.039
You know, well, we want you to have lower grocery prices, we want you to have lower gas prices, and but none of them talk about lower taxes.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.560
Well, the Republicans do, but never happens, right?
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.000
Never happens.
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.919
Lower property taxes, never happens, lower sales taxes, never happens.
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.159
So, who have we got?
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:39.759
We got Jesus.
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.759
And today, the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, I talked enough about that garbage, but I connected to Labor Day.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:51.599
See, I'm connecting it to Labor Day, so you can't say too many bad things about me.
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.879
All right, also this week, Labor Day is tomorrow, so happy Labor Day to everyone.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.159
Our podcast usually gets released on Friday or Saturday, gets posted up.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.680
And uh, but next week is the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the 8th.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.919
And also, you know, I'm gonna go over this next week, but I'm gonna tell you about this too.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:20.400
You know, uh next week, well, we have the Nativity, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, uh Peter Claver, St.
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:27.680
Peter Claver on the 9th, and of course, um uh September 11th, right, 9-11.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.039
And the day after that is the most holy name of Mary.
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:40.000
And I think, you know, um, you know, and then the exaltation of the Holy Cross is next Sunday.
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:49.120
And I'll tell you, my brothers and sisters, it's a it's not only just a battle of between good and evil, it's the battle between love and hate.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:49.759
Okay?
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.080
It's the battle between love and hate.
00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:02.080
And if you want to belong to a religion that hates, and I'm not just talking about the Muslims or the Sikhs or the Jehovah's Witnesses, I'm not talking about just those guys.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.599
I'm talking about everybody.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:16.160
I'm talking about Catholics, some Catholics, some Protestants, some Baptists, some Muslims, some, some, some, some, some, some who hate that it's not the way of God.
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:22.160
The way of God is love, pure love, love and truth, and of course, reason.
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:28.480
And if you're gonna have reason in there, along with those others, you should be Catholic.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.319
You should be Catholic or think about becoming Catholic.
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:46.800
But let us pray as we uh go through this week in observance of 9-11 and pray for the real love that is in Jesus Christ and his holy Catholic Church.
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:54.399
Even though there are times where it doesn't seem so holy, we have all seven sacraments, my brothers and sisters, for 2,000 years.
00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:05.680
And uh, I can only speak to that core truth and the love of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and that core truth, right?
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.519
And that we are a pro-life church.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:17.680
We do not believe, and we're not a pro-death church, you know, and we see all this other stuff that's happening in the news.
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.600
We don't know what to do, my brothers and sisters, because we think death is the answer.
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.839
We think killing is the answer, and it's not, it never has been, but we've always believed it is.
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.480
We always have believed it is, but it is not.
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.560
That is a lie of the devil.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.000
That is a lie from the pit of hell that death is the answer, right?
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.639
To destroy your your your enemies.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.360
You need to destroy your own family.
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:56.399
You know, if they don't agree with you, destroy your own family, disown your own family politically, disown them, throw them out, they must never be spoken to again.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.560
I mean, it's insane.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:10.000
Insane for politics, for a stupid politician, then 90% of them all they want is to fill their own pockets.
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.199
You know, they don't get that lifetime super duper healthcare.
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:14.000
But guess what?
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.519
You're still gonna die, and you're still gonna be judged by God.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.560
You're still gonna be judged.
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:19.759
Well, I don't believe in God.
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.120
Well, you're gonna find out.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.560
You will have your day of reckoning, as they say.
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.879
Okay, six minutes of uh I hope that wasn't too much nonsense, but silliness.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.519
But let's get right down into our readings.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.560
Got some great catechism teachings on this.
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.839
Um, and we start with the book of Ezekiel.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.160
Read the book of Ezekiel, my brothers and sisters, just like Jeremiah last week.
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:53.040
You know, read the read these prophets, these powerful prophets in the church and in the readings um that they have.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.879
It's really good stuff.
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:01.839
So the book of Ezekiel, our first reading book of Ezekiel, chapter 33, verses 7 through 9.
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:12.079
There's no catechism teaching on uh chapter 33 in general, um, but on this particular, there's no teaching in the catechism kept church.
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:18.480
So points right to your heart, my brothers and sisters, just telling you right now, points right to your heart.
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.160
Here we go.
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:28.720
Thus says the Lord, you son of man, I have appointed watchmen for the house of Israel.
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:34.160
When you hear me say anything, you shall mourn them for me.
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:54.959
If I tell the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:07.600
But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt.
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.879
But you shall save yourself.
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.120
The word of the Lord.
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.439
Thanks be to God.
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.639
That's another thing.
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.920
When you're in mass and they do the readings, respond.
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:21.920
Thanks be to God.
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.319
Don't don't be just a thanks be to God.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.160
Come on, get with it, you guys.
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.200
I hope I don't preach this weekend because I'm fired up about it.
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:43.519
Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 95, verses one and two, and then six through nine.
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:49.600
I'll break out the Bible and see where what happened to three through five.
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.799
Probably a bunch of mean stuff God's got to say.
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.559
Here we go.
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:59.600
If today I hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.799
Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord.
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.840
Let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.120
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.320
Let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.240
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.519
Come, let us bow down and worship.
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:32.320
Let us kneel before the Lord who made us, for He is our God, and we are the people He shepherds, the flock He guides.
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:38.240
If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:56.879
Oh that today you would hear His voice, harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Masa in the desert, when your fathers tempted me, they tested me, though they had seen all my works.
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.720
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:09.600
Our second reading today is from the Book of Romans, chapter thirteen, verses eight through ten.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:17.759
Brothers and sisters, owe nothing to anyone except to love one another.
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:23.679
For the one who loves another has fulfilled the law, the commandments.
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:40.960
You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and whatever other commandments there may be are summed up in the saying, namely, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.960
Love does no evil to the neighbor.
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:51.679
Hence, love is the fulfillment of the law, the word of the Lord.
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.600
Thanks be to God.
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:56.720
Okay, here we go.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.399
Gospel reading.
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:04.879
Gospel of Matthew, chapter eighteen, verses fifteen through twenty.
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.879
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.039
Glory to you, O Lord.
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:21.679
Jesus said to his disciples, If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.159
If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:38.080
If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:43.279
If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:52.080
If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or tax collector.
00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:02.240
Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.039
Again, Amen, I say to you.
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:16.399
If two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:26.799
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.919
The gospel of the Lord.
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.799
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.320
The words of this gospel wipe away our sins.
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.240
Well, welcome, my brothers and sisters.
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.679
My name is Deacon Louis Zimlich here in the Diocese of Kalmazou.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:49.360
Welcome to our little podcast program we got going on here that we do weekly, deaconlouisimlick.com.
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.639
We always read the scriptures and then we go over the catechism teaching.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:13:06.240
Talk maybe even a little bit about what's going on in the church, good, bad, or otherwise, and not to dwell on it, not to dwell on the craziest uh video that you've ever seen, you know, or anything like that.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:13.039
But maybe, you know, I something, you know, we're studying uh uh adoration now, and of course, there's been this thing.
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:14.879
I just want to talk about this real quickly.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:37.039
There's been this thing the last 40 years, ever since Vatican II, yes, ever since Vatican II, where they reduced the number of uh of uh devotions, you know, including the rosary, saying the rosary more often, going to adoration, uh Our Lady of Perpetual Help, all of these, you know, Marian devotions, devotions in general.
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.559
And of course, this happened in St.
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.879
Faustina's day, too, only a hundred years ago, right?
00:13:43.120 --> 00:14:06.240
Where this is what happens, where the the the the uh the people who are very liberal in their theology in the church, I I would almost say those who are Protestant in the Catholic Church, very Protestant in their beliefs in the Catholic Church, where it's just this, they just have this tunnel vision where it's just like it's just Jesus, and that's it.
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.879
And don't talk about anything else, don't talk about holiness or anything like that.
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.519
It's a mistake, my brothers and sisters.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.879
It's a heresy.
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:20.720
It's a great heresy and a great mistake, and it needs to and it needs to end.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:36.639
So this beautiful thing about adoration, and uh, I heard Bishop Barron talking about this, that he heard the instance where this priest told this person who was thinking about becoming Catholic, he says, go into the Catholic Church and find the little red light.
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:45.519
So we we have a tabernacle light that's a candle that's lit that signifies the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.679
But this person did not know that.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.080
So he told her, you know, go and I don't know, her, him or her.
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.279
Doesn't matter, right?
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:55.200
Age doesn't matter either.
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.200
Uh teenager, whatever.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:06.639
And people are coming into the church, my brothers and sisters, and they're they're they're coming in for the sacraments, and they're coming in for truth, and they're coming in for love, okay?
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:14.879
Not hatred or man, this video is just so beats up so bad on the Baptists or on the Muslims or this, that, or the other.
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:15.759
No.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.240
No, it's love.
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.720
It's love.
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:26.000
The love of Jesus Christ, the healing of Jesus Christ.
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.360
Anyway, back to my thing on this.
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.440
But anyway, it was Bishop Baron on adoration, his video.
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.879
It's like 42 minutes long.
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:44.879
But anyway, in inside of that, he was talking to this person that, you know, if you want thinking about coming into the church, go and l and and sit and and look at that light.
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.799
Look at that light, look at that.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.159
And he didn't tell her what it was.
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.600
Do it for 15 minutes.
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.559
So she he she did that, and a couple weeks later he came back.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.080
He says, Now do it for 30 minutes.
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:54.879
She came back.
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:56.799
She says, Why am I doing this?
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.159
He says, uh says, Well, how do you feel?
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.440
He says, She says, I feel so much peace.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.120
Everybody wants peace.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.679
But if you want your own way, you're never gonna have peace.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:13.919
Let me say that again.
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:21.039
If you want your own way, your will be done instead of God's will be done, you're never gonna have peace.
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:28.639
If you're still gonna want your politics, all of your nasty politics, you're never gonna have peace.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.759
It's God's way, my brothers and sisters.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.840
God's way, God's way, God's way.
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:42.159
Okay, no catechism teaching on Ezekiel, but hey, oh wicked one, you shall surely die.
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.720
Warn those who are at fault, my brothers and sisters, or you may be convicted because of it.
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.440
Do it gently and lovingly.
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.720
You can warn people.
00:16:52.879 --> 00:17:00.960
Listen, you're heading for the cliff, you're gonna die, you're getting, you're drinking too much, you're spending too much money, you're having sex with everything that moves.
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.639
Stop doing that.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.359
It's sin, it's degrading, it's terrible.
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.279
It is death.
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.519
You're eating death.
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:21.200
Overeating, smoking, drinking, sex, anger, hatred, swearing, cursing, you know, all of it.
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.359
You're eating death.
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:30.400
Eating it, destroying you bit by bit, day after day.
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.319
Catechism teaching.
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.559
None on on the oh, I was gonna grab my Bible.
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.440
Yeah, grab my Bible and look at that psalm.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.039
Oh Psalm 95.
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.039
So let me just check this real quick.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.119
Psalm 95, but there's no teaching on the psalm either.
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.880
No catech, no catechism teaching.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.039
There's plenty of teaching on it.
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.200
It's the words of Jesus.
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.880
It's the reports of Jesus.
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.000
It's the words of God.
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:02.400
Maybe it was the words of Jesus speaking them to God, and then God spoken to King David.
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.880
Who knows if this is one of David's Psalms?
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:11.680
Okay, so 95, Psalm 95 and four and five are missing.
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:18.640
So four is in his hands are the depths of the earth, the heights of the mountains are his also.
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:25.920
The sea is his, for he made it, for his hands formed the dry land.
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.440
Oh, come, let us worship and bow down.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.480
Oh no, bowing down.
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.720
Oh my six.
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.000
Oh, we do mention that.
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:36.720
That's nice.
00:18:36.960 --> 00:19:00.240
But listen, this this making of heaven and earth, making the mountains, and I hate to, you know, the people who who are very God, I hate I just state using this word liberal, but the people who who have the hardest challenge with holiness and the power of God, I think it's just the power of God, the power of God's love that they've got a problem with.
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:02.720
God made everything.
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.759
God made everything.
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.559
He made the Big Bang happen at the very beginning.
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.839
At the very beginning is God.
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:16.640
Okay, there it is.
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.839
All right, here we go.
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.039
Let's move on.
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.400
Romans.
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.599
Romans, Romans 12.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.039
Let me get it out here.
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.640
Romans 12.
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:38.160
And our catechism teaching is uh 1454, contrition, confession, and 1824, love.
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.359
Listen to this.
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:46.000
Charity, the theological virtues, fruit of the spirit, and the fullness of the law.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.680
Charity keeps the commandments of God and Christ.
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.359
Abide in my love.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.799
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love.
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:05.200
So it's a lot of it's morality, my brothers and sisters, but a lot of it also is an open heart to God.
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.319
Change me, Lord, change me.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.440
Teacher, what's when I do, what must I do?
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.519
2055 of the catechism.
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.440
Which commandment of the law is the greatest?
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.759
Jesus replied, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind.
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.160
This is the greatest, and the first commandment is like it.
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.079
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.000
So, you know, back in the olden days, what they do is, well, well, who's my neighbor?
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:37.839
You know, my fellow Muslim, my fellow Baptist, my fellow Catholic, my fellow uh Sikh, my fellow Jew.
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.480
No.
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:41.519
Yes, it's true.
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.440
Okay, they can be your neighbors, but you have to love everyone.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.880
You have to love everyone.
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:55.200
The the intensity of the love might be a little greater, you know, for your Catholic brother or sister, or Christian brother or sister, or Muslim brother or sister.
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.519
Yes, maybe a little bit greater.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.079
But what is the greater challenge?
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:01.359
I would ask.
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.039
I would ask this.
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:05.119
What is the greater challenge?
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.920
To love someone of your same religion or someone who has no religion at all?
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.559
Maybe to love the sinner.
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.279
See?
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.440
I had that Bible study last week too.
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.839
You know, people are people aren't crazy about sinners.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.920
You know, if you're a sinner, I I get it.
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:21.279
Been there, done that.
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:24.160
But I've I've come from a long line of sinners.
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:37.119
So I'm I'm I'm not for uh, you know, even though Jesus says treat them as a tax collector, you know, but you you really um you gotta be careful with that too.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.480
Yeah, be careful with that too.
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.240
But you've got to set boundaries too.
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:44.559
You know, you don't want sick people in your house, you know, especially around your kids, right?
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.400
So here we go.
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.599
Romans again.
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.279
You shall love your neighbors yourself.
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.759
2196 of the catechism, 2845 of the catechism.
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.599
Forgive us our trespasses, we forgive those who trespass against us.
00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.200
The Our Father prayer.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.359
Romans 13 8.
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:06.720
There is no limit or measure to this essential divine forgiveness.
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.920
Divine forgiveness.
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.000
Oh my gosh.
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.759
It's so powerful.
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:15.839
Divine forgiveness, my brother said.
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.359
Try out some of that.
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:27.680
You know, my friend and I, uh, my friend John and I used to try, you know, try some of that radical honesty, that intense honesty.
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.000
You know, rigorous honesty, right?
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.119
In the program.
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.799
In recovery, rigorous honesty.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:39.440
Try out some rigorous honesty today, my brothers and sisters, okay?
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:48.799
Instead of that mealy-mouthed garbage, you know, that ah, yeah, I agree that we're right, and the whole group of people over there are wrong.
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:50.559
It should be destroyed.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:52.640
It's like that's not it.
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.640
It's not Christianity, it's certainly not love.
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:03.519
And you got to really question yourself where you're going to be going when God is commanding us.
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.119
We need to love.
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.240
I know.
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.880
It's hard, so it's hard for me, too.
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.039
It's hard for me too.
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:13.119
So here's another one.
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.039
Um, and it looks like there is one little Psalm 95.
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.119
Oh, I got these mixed up in here.
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.880
So there is some catechism teachings on Psalm 95.
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:31.920
When the liturgical seasons from Psalm 95, adoration, tempting God consists in this.
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:33.200
Oh, here we go.
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.319
Good stuff.
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.240
See, I got my I got my pages mixed up here, my brothers and sisters.
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.119
I got my I got my Romans before my psalm.
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.160
So psalm reading, blessing, and adoration.
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.440
What did I talk about earlier?
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:53.519
Adoration, respectful silence in the presence of an even greater God.
00:23:54.240 --> 00:24:04.000
Adoration of the thrice holy, sovereign God love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.960
Adoration, my brothers and sisters, time today, today.
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:12.160
Living all about today, living today.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.400
Time is in the Father's hands.
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.200
It is the present that we encounter him.
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:21.680
Not yesterday, nor tomorrow, but today.
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.000
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice.
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:28.160
Harden not your hearts.
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.400
And I don't want to hear any about the excuses.
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:32.559
Of course, it's one-way radio, right?
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.319
Preach about it.
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:36.079
I don't want to hear any of your excuses.
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.000
I won't hear any of your complaints.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.000
Don't want to hear any about your little baby crybaby stuff.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:43.519
Don't you know you got big stuff?
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.519
Okay, I'll listen to your big stuff, sure.
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:50.400
But don't give me this little stuff like, wow, this person should dress this way.
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:52.160
Disrespectful of the thing.
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.720
They're 16 years old.
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.279
Their brains don't even work.
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:59.200
And you expect them to dress properly.
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.480
Why don't their parents tell them how to dress?
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.240
Well, they probably did.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:10.480
And the parents are probably pulling their hair out, you know, trying to get kids to dress properly to go to mass.
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:12.000
Here we go.
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:14.400
Along with the adults, too, by the way.
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:14.960
So there.
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.599
I said it.
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.279
I said I wouldn't preach at the pulpit because they would kill me.
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.039
I wouldn't even make it out of the church.
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.680
I would be dead by the time I'd get to the door.
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:30.880
Okay, the mysteries of Jesus' public life, the keys to the kingdom, the gospel reading today.
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.400
We just have four minutes left.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:35.440
Christ's work in the liturgy.
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:46.720
By his power, he presented, he is present in the sacrament, in the sacrament, so that when anybody baptizes, listen to this, my brothers and sisters, listen to this.
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:52.000
Everybody out there says, Oh, you guys with your priests, oh, you guys with your deacons, oh, you guys with your sacraments.
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.400
It is God that does the work.
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.200
God.
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:57.680
That's what the church teaches.
00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:59.440
That's what the truth is.
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.279
Excuse me.
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.319
1088 of the Catechism.
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:06.400
Accomplish a great work.
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:16.799
By his power, he is present in the sacraments, so that when anyone baptizes, it is really Christ Himself who baptizes.
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:27.519
He is the present in the Word since He Himself, who speaks when the Holy Scriptures are read in the church.
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:38.319
Lastly, He is present when the church prays and sings, for He has promised where two or three are gathered in my name, I am within their midst.
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:39.519
Matthew 18.
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.640
Kaboom.
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:42.559
Good stuff.
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.880
Sacramental penance and reconciliation in the church.
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.039
1444.
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:51.039
All the commandments.
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:55.519
And this, of course, to bear witness to the truth.
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:04.480
And here is your opportunity to love your neighbor, to love your brother, to love your sister, to love, love, love, love, love.
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.119
Okay.
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:09.200
All Christians, excuse me, 2472.
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:21.839
The duty of the Christian takes part in the life of the church, impels them to act as witnesses of the gospel and of the obligations that flow from it.
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.960
This witness is a transmission of the faith in words and deeds.
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:28.400
Yes, deeds.
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:40.160
Witnesses is an act of justice that establishes truth and makes it its own.
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:47.599
All Christians, by example of their lives and their witness to the word, wherever they live, has this obligation.
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:56.319
The new man, the new woman, the power of the Holy Spirit, by whom they were strengthened at confirmation.
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.640
Kaboom, another sacrament.
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.680
All right, we always finished with theology of the body.
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:14.000
Pray this week, my brothers and sisters, especially from you know the history of our our history of hatred, our history of hate, our history of not loving, but hating.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.440
Uh we have a long history of it as human beings.
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.200
But we need to love each other.
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.039
Love, love, love.
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.920
Not enable, not excuse, but to love.
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.720
And part of that loving is telling people the truth.
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:30.640
Like, you need to stop hating us.
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:32.160
You need to stop killing us.
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.079
You need to stop murdering us.
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:34.640
Okay?
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:37.119
Because what you're doing is nasty.
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:42.880
And you're gonna stand in front of God and God's gonna condemn you and you're gonna end up going straight to hell, you know?
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:48.480
And that goes for all of us if we choose to hate, which is not good.
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.000
All right, theology of the body, which is about love.
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.319
The fundamental disquiet of all human existence.
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:01.039
The Holy Father, Saint Pope John Paul II continued his theology of the body.
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:24.720
The shame experienced by man's man after his fall expressed a deeper sense of shame called cosmic, reflecting the new disorder in his nature, by which not only was the relationship between man and woman affected, but the relationship between body and spirit.
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.799
There it is, my brothers and sisters.
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:28.799
May God bless you all.
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.039
In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.440
Amen.
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:32.240
God bless you.
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.359
We love you.
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.440
Pray, pray, pray, forgive and love.
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:01.280
Hello, everybody.
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.719
This is Deacon Louis Zemlik here in the Diocese of Kalamazoo.
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.199
We're glad you're with us here today on our podcast in this 23rd Sunday in ordinary time.
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.320
So it is also a holiday weekend, Labor Day weekend.
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:24.800
So I think if you've got delivery trucks delivering stuff in your neighborhood on Labor Day, I would not buy from them.
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.280
So you'd probably know who I'm talking about.
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:37.759
But I'm a business, I'm a small owner of a business, uh, you know, Zimblick, Zimlick.com, Zimblick office supplies, furniture and janitorial supplies and all that stuff.
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.640
And I'll tell you, my brothers and sisters, you know, there's probably going to be a turnaround for a small business.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.600
I know there is.
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:48.079
It's uh might take five or ten years, but uh, I think it's gonna happen.
00:00:48.320 --> 00:01:01.200
And I think it's very much uh kind of how the church uh, you know, the church is worldwide, but it's very granular down to the individual communities, which is what we should be.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:06.400
Um I think forget what they call it, subsidiarity, I think it is.
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.959
But it's um probably where they get the word subsidiary.
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:20.319
But it's in any case, um, not to make this about business, but it's about uh jobs, you know, and things like that in our own communities.
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.040
But also not to worry, you know, not to get all wound up on all the stuff that's on the internet and YouTube.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.959
And did you see this guy on the internet and that guy and the other?
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:37.840
Just listen to your it's okay to, but just don't become obsessed with it, okay?
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.760
Don't become obsessed with Fox News or CNN or or uh or NPR.
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.400
You know, I see people who listen to NPR.
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:47.920
They are like robots.
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.400
They are like liberal robots.
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.760
You know, everything is like it's almost like listening to them is almost like listening to the program itself, right?
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.519
And it's just boring.
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:00.719
It's just boring.
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.959
The political garbage is boring.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.760
I'm old enough now, I'm 67 years old now.
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.840
I I tell you, you guys, this is just a regurgitation.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.840
You know, I'm two-thirds of my life, if not more, is gone.
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.439
And it is just a regurgitation of the same old crap.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:25.039
You know, well, we want you to have lower grocery prices, we want you to have lower gas prices, and but none of them talk about lower taxes.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.560
Well, the Republicans do, but never happens, right?
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.000
Never happens.
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.919
Lower property taxes, never happens, lower sales taxes, never happens.
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.159
So, who have we got?
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:39.759
We got Jesus.
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.759
And today, the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, I talked enough about that garbage, but I connected to Labor Day.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:51.599
See, I'm connecting it to Labor Day, so you can't say too many bad things about me.
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.879
All right, also this week, Labor Day is tomorrow, so happy Labor Day to everyone.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.159
Our podcast usually gets released on Friday or Saturday, gets posted up.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.680
And uh, but next week is the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the 8th.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.919
And also, you know, I'm gonna go over this next week, but I'm gonna tell you about this too.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:20.400
You know, uh next week, well, we have the Nativity, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, uh Peter Claver, St.
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:27.680
Peter Claver on the 9th, and of course, um uh September 11th, right, 9-11.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.039
And the day after that is the most holy name of Mary.
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:40.000
And I think, you know, um, you know, and then the exaltation of the Holy Cross is next Sunday.
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:49.120
And I'll tell you, my brothers and sisters, it's a it's not only just a battle of between good and evil, it's the battle between love and hate.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:49.759
Okay?
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.080
It's the battle between love and hate.
00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:02.080
And if you want to belong to a religion that hates, and I'm not just talking about the Muslims or the Sikhs or the Jehovah's Witnesses, I'm not talking about just those guys.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.599
I'm talking about everybody.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:16.160
I'm talking about Catholics, some Catholics, some Protestants, some Baptists, some Muslims, some, some, some, some, some, some who hate that it's not the way of God.
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:22.160
The way of God is love, pure love, love and truth, and of course, reason.
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:28.480
And if you're gonna have reason in there, along with those others, you should be Catholic.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.319
You should be Catholic or think about becoming Catholic.
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:46.800
But let us pray as we uh go through this week in observance of 9-11 and pray for the real love that is in Jesus Christ and his holy Catholic Church.
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:54.399
Even though there are times where it doesn't seem so holy, we have all seven sacraments, my brothers and sisters, for 2,000 years.
00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:05.680
And uh, I can only speak to that core truth and the love of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and that core truth, right?
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.519
And that we are a pro-life church.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:17.680
We do not believe, and we're not a pro-death church, you know, and we see all this other stuff that's happening in the news.
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.600
We don't know what to do, my brothers and sisters, because we think death is the answer.
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.839
We think killing is the answer, and it's not, it never has been, but we've always believed it is.
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.480
We always have believed it is, but it is not.
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.560
That is a lie of the devil.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.000
That is a lie from the pit of hell that death is the answer, right?
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.639
To destroy your your your enemies.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.360
You need to destroy your own family.
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:56.399
You know, if they don't agree with you, destroy your own family, disown your own family politically, disown them, throw them out, they must never be spoken to again.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.560
I mean, it's insane.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:10.000
Insane for politics, for a stupid politician, then 90% of them all they want is to fill their own pockets.
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.199
You know, they don't get that lifetime super duper healthcare.
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:14.000
But guess what?
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.519
You're still gonna die, and you're still gonna be judged by God.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.560
You're still gonna be judged.
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:19.759
Well, I don't believe in God.
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.120
Well, you're gonna find out.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.560
You will have your day of reckoning, as they say.
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.879
Okay, six minutes of uh I hope that wasn't too much nonsense, but silliness.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.519
But let's get right down into our readings.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.560
Got some great catechism teachings on this.
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.839
Um, and we start with the book of Ezekiel.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.160
Read the book of Ezekiel, my brothers and sisters, just like Jeremiah last week.
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:53.040
You know, read the read these prophets, these powerful prophets in the church and in the readings um that they have.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.879
It's really good stuff.
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:01.839
So the book of Ezekiel, our first reading book of Ezekiel, chapter 33, verses 7 through 9.
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:12.079
There's no catechism teaching on uh chapter 33 in general, um, but on this particular, there's no teaching in the catechism kept church.
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:18.480
So points right to your heart, my brothers and sisters, just telling you right now, points right to your heart.
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:20.160
Here we go.
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:28.720
Thus says the Lord, you son of man, I have appointed watchmen for the house of Israel.
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:34.160
When you hear me say anything, you shall mourn them for me.
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:54.959
If I tell the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:07.600
But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt.
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.879
But you shall save yourself.
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.120
The word of the Lord.
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.439
Thanks be to God.
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.639
That's another thing.
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.920
When you're in mass and they do the readings, respond.
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:21.920
Thanks be to God.
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.319
Don't don't be just a thanks be to God.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.160
Come on, get with it, you guys.
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.200
I hope I don't preach this weekend because I'm fired up about it.
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:43.519
Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 95, verses one and two, and then six through nine.
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:49.600
I'll break out the Bible and see where what happened to three through five.
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.799
Probably a bunch of mean stuff God's got to say.
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.559
Here we go.
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:59.600
If today I hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.799
Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord.
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.840
Let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.120
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.320
Let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.240
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.519
Come, let us bow down and worship.
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:32.320
Let us kneel before the Lord who made us, for He is our God, and we are the people He shepherds, the flock He guides.
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:38.240
If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:56.879
Oh that today you would hear His voice, harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Masa in the desert, when your fathers tempted me, they tested me, though they had seen all my works.
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.720
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:09.600
Our second reading today is from the Book of Romans, chapter thirteen, verses eight through ten.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:17.759
Brothers and sisters, owe nothing to anyone except to love one another.
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:23.679
For the one who loves another has fulfilled the law, the commandments.
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:40.960
You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and whatever other commandments there may be are summed up in the saying, namely, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.960
Love does no evil to the neighbor.
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:51.679
Hence, love is the fulfillment of the law, the word of the Lord.
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.600
Thanks be to God.
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:56.720
Okay, here we go.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.399
Gospel reading.
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:04.879
Gospel of Matthew, chapter eighteen, verses fifteen through twenty.
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.879
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.039
Glory to you, O Lord.
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:21.679
Jesus said to his disciples, If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.159
If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:38.080
If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:43.279
If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:52.080
If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or tax collector.
00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:02.240
Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.039
Again, Amen, I say to you.
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:16.399
If two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:26.799
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.919
The gospel of the Lord.
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.799
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.320
The words of this gospel wipe away our sins.
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.240
Well, welcome, my brothers and sisters.
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.679
My name is Deacon Louis Zimlich here in the Diocese of Kalmazou.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:49.360
Welcome to our little podcast program we got going on here that we do weekly, deaconlouisimlick.com.
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.639
We always read the scriptures and then we go over the catechism teaching.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:13:06.240
Talk maybe even a little bit about what's going on in the church, good, bad, or otherwise, and not to dwell on it, not to dwell on the craziest uh video that you've ever seen, you know, or anything like that.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:13.039
But maybe, you know, I something, you know, we're studying uh uh adoration now, and of course, there's been this thing.
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:14.879
I just want to talk about this real quickly.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:37.039
There's been this thing the last 40 years, ever since Vatican II, yes, ever since Vatican II, where they reduced the number of uh of uh devotions, you know, including the rosary, saying the rosary more often, going to adoration, uh Our Lady of Perpetual Help, all of these, you know, Marian devotions, devotions in general.
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.559
And of course, this happened in St.
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.879
Faustina's day, too, only a hundred years ago, right?
00:13:43.120 --> 00:14:06.240
Where this is what happens, where the the the the uh the people who are very liberal in their theology in the church, I I would almost say those who are Protestant in the Catholic Church, very Protestant in their beliefs in the Catholic Church, where it's just this, they just have this tunnel vision where it's just like it's just Jesus, and that's it.
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.879
And don't talk about anything else, don't talk about holiness or anything like that.
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.519
It's a mistake, my brothers and sisters.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.879
It's a heresy.
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:20.720
It's a great heresy and a great mistake, and it needs to and it needs to end.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:36.639
So this beautiful thing about adoration, and uh, I heard Bishop Barron talking about this, that he heard the instance where this priest told this person who was thinking about becoming Catholic, he says, go into the Catholic Church and find the little red light.
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:45.519
So we we have a tabernacle light that's a candle that's lit that signifies the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.679
But this person did not know that.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.080
So he told her, you know, go and I don't know, her, him or her.
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.279
Doesn't matter, right?
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:55.200
Age doesn't matter either.
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.200
Uh teenager, whatever.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:06.639
And people are coming into the church, my brothers and sisters, and they're they're they're coming in for the sacraments, and they're coming in for truth, and they're coming in for love, okay?
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:14.879
Not hatred or man, this video is just so beats up so bad on the Baptists or on the Muslims or this, that, or the other.
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:15.759
No.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.240
No, it's love.
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.720
It's love.
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:26.000
The love of Jesus Christ, the healing of Jesus Christ.
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.360
Anyway, back to my thing on this.
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.440
But anyway, it was Bishop Baron on adoration, his video.
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.879
It's like 42 minutes long.
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:44.879
But anyway, in inside of that, he was talking to this person that, you know, if you want thinking about coming into the church, go and l and and sit and and look at that light.
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.799
Look at that light, look at that.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.159
And he didn't tell her what it was.
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.600
Do it for 15 minutes.
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.559
So she he she did that, and a couple weeks later he came back.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.080
He says, Now do it for 30 minutes.
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:54.879
She came back.
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:56.799
She says, Why am I doing this?
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.159
He says, uh says, Well, how do you feel?
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.440
He says, She says, I feel so much peace.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.120
Everybody wants peace.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.679
But if you want your own way, you're never gonna have peace.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:13.919
Let me say that again.
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:21.039
If you want your own way, your will be done instead of God's will be done, you're never gonna have peace.
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:28.639
If you're still gonna want your politics, all of your nasty politics, you're never gonna have peace.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.759
It's God's way, my brothers and sisters.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.840
God's way, God's way, God's way.
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:42.159
Okay, no catechism teaching on Ezekiel, but hey, oh wicked one, you shall surely die.
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.720
Warn those who are at fault, my brothers and sisters, or you may be convicted because of it.
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.440
Do it gently and lovingly.
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.720
You can warn people.
00:16:52.879 --> 00:17:00.960
Listen, you're heading for the cliff, you're gonna die, you're getting, you're drinking too much, you're spending too much money, you're having sex with everything that moves.
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.639
Stop doing that.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.359
It's sin, it's degrading, it's terrible.
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.279
It is death.
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.519
You're eating death.
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:21.200
Overeating, smoking, drinking, sex, anger, hatred, swearing, cursing, you know, all of it.
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.359
You're eating death.
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:30.400
Eating it, destroying you bit by bit, day after day.
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.319
Catechism teaching.
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.559
None on on the oh, I was gonna grab my Bible.
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.440
Yeah, grab my Bible and look at that psalm.
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.039
Oh Psalm 95.
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.039
So let me just check this real quick.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.119
Psalm 95, but there's no teaching on the psalm either.
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.880
No catech, no catechism teaching.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:51.039
There's plenty of teaching on it.
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.200
It's the words of Jesus.
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.880
It's the reports of Jesus.
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.000
It's the words of God.
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:02.400
Maybe it was the words of Jesus speaking them to God, and then God spoken to King David.
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.880
Who knows if this is one of David's Psalms?
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:11.680
Okay, so 95, Psalm 95 and four and five are missing.
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:18.640
So four is in his hands are the depths of the earth, the heights of the mountains are his also.
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:25.920
The sea is his, for he made it, for his hands formed the dry land.
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.440
Oh, come, let us worship and bow down.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.480
Oh no, bowing down.
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.720
Oh my six.
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.000
Oh, we do mention that.
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:36.720
That's nice.
00:18:36.960 --> 00:19:00.240
But listen, this this making of heaven and earth, making the mountains, and I hate to, you know, the people who who are very God, I hate I just state using this word liberal, but the people who who have the hardest challenge with holiness and the power of God, I think it's just the power of God, the power of God's love that they've got a problem with.
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:02.720
God made everything.
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.759
God made everything.
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.559
He made the Big Bang happen at the very beginning.
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.839
At the very beginning is God.
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:16.640
Okay, there it is.
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.839
All right, here we go.
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.039
Let's move on.
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:20.400
Romans.
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.599
Romans, Romans 12.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.039
Let me get it out here.
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.640
Romans 12.
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:38.160
And our catechism teaching is uh 1454, contrition, confession, and 1824, love.
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.359
Listen to this.
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:46.000
Charity, the theological virtues, fruit of the spirit, and the fullness of the law.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.680
Charity keeps the commandments of God and Christ.
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.359
Abide in my love.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.799
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love.
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:05.200
So it's a lot of it's morality, my brothers and sisters, but a lot of it also is an open heart to God.
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.319
Change me, Lord, change me.
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.440
Teacher, what's when I do, what must I do?
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.519
2055 of the catechism.
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.440
Which commandment of the law is the greatest?
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.759
Jesus replied, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind.
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.160
This is the greatest, and the first commandment is like it.
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.079
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.000
So, you know, back in the olden days, what they do is, well, well, who's my neighbor?
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:37.839
You know, my fellow Muslim, my fellow Baptist, my fellow Catholic, my fellow uh Sikh, my fellow Jew.
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.480
No.
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:41.519
Yes, it's true.
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.440
Okay, they can be your neighbors, but you have to love everyone.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.880
You have to love everyone.
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:55.200
The the intensity of the love might be a little greater, you know, for your Catholic brother or sister, or Christian brother or sister, or Muslim brother or sister.
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.519
Yes, maybe a little bit greater.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.079
But what is the greater challenge?
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:01.359
I would ask.
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.039
I would ask this.
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:05.119
What is the greater challenge?
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.920
To love someone of your same religion or someone who has no religion at all?
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.559
Maybe to love the sinner.
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.279
See?
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.440
I had that Bible study last week too.
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.839
You know, people are people aren't crazy about sinners.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.920
You know, if you're a sinner, I I get it.
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:21.279
Been there, done that.
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:24.160
But I've I've come from a long line of sinners.
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:37.119
So I'm I'm I'm not for uh, you know, even though Jesus says treat them as a tax collector, you know, but you you really um you gotta be careful with that too.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.480
Yeah, be careful with that too.
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.240
But you've got to set boundaries too.
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:44.559
You know, you don't want sick people in your house, you know, especially around your kids, right?
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.400
So here we go.
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.599
Romans again.
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.279
You shall love your neighbors yourself.
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.759
2196 of the catechism, 2845 of the catechism.
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.599
Forgive us our trespasses, we forgive those who trespass against us.
00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.200
The Our Father prayer.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.359
Romans 13 8.
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:06.720
There is no limit or measure to this essential divine forgiveness.
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.920
Divine forgiveness.
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.000
Oh my gosh.
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.759
It's so powerful.
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:15.839
Divine forgiveness, my brother said.
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.359
Try out some of that.
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:27.680
You know, my friend and I, uh, my friend John and I used to try, you know, try some of that radical honesty, that intense honesty.
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.000
You know, rigorous honesty, right?
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.119
In the program.
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.799
In recovery, rigorous honesty.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:39.440
Try out some rigorous honesty today, my brothers and sisters, okay?
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:48.799
Instead of that mealy-mouthed garbage, you know, that ah, yeah, I agree that we're right, and the whole group of people over there are wrong.
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:50.559
It should be destroyed.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:52.640
It's like that's not it.
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.640
It's not Christianity, it's certainly not love.
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:03.519
And you got to really question yourself where you're going to be going when God is commanding us.
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.119
We need to love.
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.240
I know.
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.880
It's hard, so it's hard for me, too.
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.039
It's hard for me too.
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:13.119
So here's another one.
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.039
Um, and it looks like there is one little Psalm 95.
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.119
Oh, I got these mixed up in here.
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.880
So there is some catechism teachings on Psalm 95.
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:31.920
When the liturgical seasons from Psalm 95, adoration, tempting God consists in this.
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:33.200
Oh, here we go.
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:34.319
Good stuff.
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.240
See, I got my I got my pages mixed up here, my brothers and sisters.
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.119
I got my I got my Romans before my psalm.
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.160
So psalm reading, blessing, and adoration.
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.440
What did I talk about earlier?
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:53.519
Adoration, respectful silence in the presence of an even greater God.
00:23:54.240 --> 00:24:04.000
Adoration of the thrice holy, sovereign God love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.960
Adoration, my brothers and sisters, time today, today.
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:12.160
Living all about today, living today.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.400
Time is in the Father's hands.
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.200
It is the present that we encounter him.
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:21.680
Not yesterday, nor tomorrow, but today.
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.000
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice.
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:28.160
Harden not your hearts.
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.400
And I don't want to hear any about the excuses.
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:32.559
Of course, it's one-way radio, right?
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.319
Preach about it.
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:36.079
I don't want to hear any of your excuses.
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.000
I won't hear any of your complaints.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.000
Don't want to hear any about your little baby crybaby stuff.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:43.519
Don't you know you got big stuff?
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.519
Okay, I'll listen to your big stuff, sure.
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:50.400
But don't give me this little stuff like, wow, this person should dress this way.
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:52.160
Disrespectful of the thing.
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.720
They're 16 years old.
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.279
Their brains don't even work.
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:59.200
And you expect them to dress properly.
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:02.480
Why don't their parents tell them how to dress?
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.240
Well, they probably did.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:10.480
And the parents are probably pulling their hair out, you know, trying to get kids to dress properly to go to mass.
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:12.000
Here we go.
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:14.400
Along with the adults, too, by the way.
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:14.960
So there.
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.599
I said it.
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.279
I said I wouldn't preach at the pulpit because they would kill me.
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.039
I wouldn't even make it out of the church.
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.680
I would be dead by the time I'd get to the door.
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:30.880
Okay, the mysteries of Jesus' public life, the keys to the kingdom, the gospel reading today.
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.400
We just have four minutes left.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:35.440
Christ's work in the liturgy.
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:46.720
By his power, he presented, he is present in the sacrament, in the sacrament, so that when anybody baptizes, listen to this, my brothers and sisters, listen to this.
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:52.000
Everybody out there says, Oh, you guys with your priests, oh, you guys with your deacons, oh, you guys with your sacraments.
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.400
It is God that does the work.
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.200
God.
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:57.680
That's what the church teaches.
00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:59.440
That's what the truth is.
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.279
Excuse me.
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.319
1088 of the Catechism.
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:06.400
Accomplish a great work.
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:16.799
By his power, he is present in the sacraments, so that when anyone baptizes, it is really Christ Himself who baptizes.
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:27.519
He is the present in the Word since He Himself, who speaks when the Holy Scriptures are read in the church.
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:38.319
Lastly, He is present when the church prays and sings, for He has promised where two or three are gathered in my name, I am within their midst.
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:39.519
Matthew 18.
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.640
Kaboom.
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:42.559
Good stuff.
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.880
Sacramental penance and reconciliation in the church.
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.039
1444.
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:51.039
All the commandments.
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:55.519
And this, of course, to bear witness to the truth.
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:04.480
And here is your opportunity to love your neighbor, to love your brother, to love your sister, to love, love, love, love, love.
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.119
Okay.
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:09.200
All Christians, excuse me, 2472.
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:21.839
The duty of the Christian takes part in the life of the church, impels them to act as witnesses of the gospel and of the obligations that flow from it.
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.960
This witness is a transmission of the faith in words and deeds.
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:28.400
Yes, deeds.
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:40.160
Witnesses is an act of justice that establishes truth and makes it its own.
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:47.599
All Christians, by example of their lives and their witness to the word, wherever they live, has this obligation.
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:56.319
The new man, the new woman, the power of the Holy Spirit, by whom they were strengthened at confirmation.
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.640
Kaboom, another sacrament.
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.680
All right, we always finished with theology of the body.
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:14.000
Pray this week, my brothers and sisters, especially from you know the history of our our history of hatred, our history of hate, our history of not loving, but hating.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.440
Uh we have a long history of it as human beings.
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.200
But we need to love each other.
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.039
Love, love, love.
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.920
Not enable, not excuse, but to love.
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.720
And part of that loving is telling people the truth.
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:30.640
Like, you need to stop hating us.
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:32.160
You need to stop killing us.
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.079
You need to stop murdering us.
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:34.640
Okay?
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:37.119
Because what you're doing is nasty.
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:42.880
And you're gonna stand in front of God and God's gonna condemn you and you're gonna end up going straight to hell, you know?
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:48.480
And that goes for all of us if we choose to hate, which is not good.
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.000
All right, theology of the body, which is about love.
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.319
The fundamental disquiet of all human existence.
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:01.039
The Holy Father, Saint Pope John Paul II continued his theology of the body.
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:24.720
The shame experienced by man's man after his fall expressed a deeper sense of shame called cosmic, reflecting the new disorder in his nature, by which not only was the relationship between man and woman affected, but the relationship between body and spirit.
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.799
There it is, my brothers and sisters.
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:28.799
May God bless you all.
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.039
In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.440
Amen.
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:32.240
God bless you.
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.359
We love you.
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.440
Pray, pray, pray, forgive and love.
