through our Lord Jesus Christ your son
0:32
who lives and reigns with you in the
0:33
unity of the Holy Spirit one God forever
0:37
and
0:49
ever a reading from the book of The
0:51
Prophet
0:53
Jeremiah in the beginning of the reign
0:56
of jeam son of Jo Josiah king of Judah
1:00
this message came from the
1:03
Lord thus says the worship in the house
1:06
of the Lord whatever I command you tell
1:10
them and omit
1:12
nothing perhaps they will listen and
1:15
turn back each from his evil way so that
1:19
I may repent of the evil I have planned
1:22
to inflict upon them for their evil
1:24
Deeds say to them thus says the Lord if
1:29
if you disobey me not living according
1:32
to the law I placed before you and not
1:35
listening to the words of my servants
1:38
the prophets whom I send you constantly
1:41
though you do not obey them I will treat
1:44
this house like
1:46
Shiloh and make this city to which all
1:50
nations of the Earth shall refer when
1:53
cursing
1:55
another now the priests the prophets and
1:59
all the people people heard Jeremiah
2:01
speak these words in the house of the
2:04
Lord when Jeremiah finished speaking all
2:08
that the Lord B him speak to all the
2:10
people the priests and Prophets laid
2:13
hold of him
2:15
crying you my Lord this house shall be
2:18
like Shiloh and this city shall be
2:21
desolate and
2:22
deserted and all the people gathered
2:25
about Jeremiah in the house of the Lord
2:29
the word of the Lord thanks be to
2:33
God those outnumber the hairs of my head
2:36
who hate me without cause too many for
2:40
my strength are they who wrongfully are
2:42
my enemies must I restore what I did not
2:47
steal Lord in your great love answer me
2:52
since for your sake I bear insult and
2:55
shame covers my face I have become anes
2:58
me and the the insults of those who
3:01
blaspheme you fall upon
3:04
me Lord in your great love answer me but
3:09
I pray to you oh lord for the time of
3:11
your favor oh God in your great kindness
3:15
answer me with your constant
3:18
help Lord in your great love answer me
3:37
the Lord be with you a reading from the
3:40
holy Gospel According to St
3:43
Matthew Jesus came to his native place
3:46
and taught the people in their synagogue
3:49
they were astonished and said where did
3:51
this man get such wisdom and mighty
3:53
Deeds is he not The Carpenter's son is
3:57
not his mother named Mary and his
3:59
brothers James Joseph Simon and Judas
4:02
are not his sisters all with us his
4:05
native place and in his own house and he
4:08
did not work many mighty Deeds there
4:09
because of their lack of faith the
4:12
gospel of the
4:16
Lord I'm going to cheat a little bit and
4:19
rather than preach about St eusebius of
4:21
vers unula of St Francis a feast that
4:24
actually has a plary Indulgence
4:26
associated with it but more about that
4:27
later on so many of us know the story of
4:30
St Francis of Ace we know that he you
4:32
know left his father behind and his
4:34
father's wealth behind and he didn't
4:36
know what to do and felt a bit lost and
4:38
ultimately had said rebuild my church
4:40
and he walked down it was in ruins the
4:42
stones had fallen down so he just began
4:44
to rebuild the church that was what was
4:46
in front of him and often times when
4:48
this story is told it's kind of played
4:50
for wasn't he just a opponent of that in
4:53
in what happened where he was just
4:54
trying to to do what the Lord put in
4:56
front of him but St francis's story and
4:59
the feast to the port unula actually
5:01
does a nice job of filling out what we
5:04
get in today's Gospel because we have
5:07
from Jesus the very very true words that
5:09
a prophet is not welcome in his native
5:12
place and in his home country and that's
5:15
something that a lot of priests a lot of
5:17
religious a lot of us may have
5:19
experienced it's very difficult to go to
5:21
family it's very difficult to go home
5:23
especially to go around people who were
5:25
with us when we were being raised and to
5:28
speak to them in any way that involves
5:30
the authority of Jesus Christ it's just
5:32
challenging even if we look at our
5:34
co-workers and friends who know that we
5:37
take our faith very seriously there is a
5:40
a real kind of headwind against can I
5:43
share something meaningful with you
5:45
especially something that might be
5:47
challenging to you because ultimately
5:49
that's what prophecy is really meant to
5:52
be understood in today's Gospel but the
5:55
opposite way of thinking or perhaps a
5:56
complimentary way of thinking about it
5:59
is when we are not playing the prophet
6:02
or not intentionally praying the playing
6:04
the prophet how do we as disciple
6:07
certainly St Benedict being at the top
6:09
of the list and certainly what St
6:11
Francis did is to say what's right here
6:15
I do to fix the problem in ukes what can
6:17
I do to fix the Beltway in DC and the
6:21
answer to those questions is nothing and
6:24
so the more we find ourselves p as
6:26
becomes as to say let me not fret about
6:29
what I can do to solve the great
6:31
problems of the world and instead what
6:34
does the Lord have for me here what does
6:36
the Lord have for me around where I am
6:40
because it is certainly true that a
6:41
prophet may very well be without honor
6:43
in his native place a disciple
6:46
encounters the holy spirit's call for us
6:48
may get the big call from the White
6:50
House to drive into DC and say how do we
6:52
fix the whole situation if that happens
6:55
don't call me cuz I'm not interested in
6:56
helping you figure it out but most most
6:59
of us are not going to get that phone
7:00
call any more than we're going to get
7:02
the big call to fly to the Ukraine and
7:03
solve that problem or the call to fix
7:05
whatever Netanyahu is going on in Israel
7:07
it's just not going to be on our list of
7:10
to-dos but is when it comes to available
7:13
to people who may have questions being
7:15
available and certainly the portun
7:18
there's a church center of a cc is this
7:22
tiny obscure little church with these
7:23
tiny little rickety Italian old lady
7:26
chairs only that people go in and kneel
7:28
in front of because because there's if
7:30
you put more than 12 people in there or
7:31
more than four Americans the place is
7:33
just going to fall to pieces and yet
7:35
this is something that remains a
7:37
beautiful gift from the Lord It's kind
7:39
of the experience of it now having said
7:41
all of that there that is you've got to
7:43
go there which is going to be a
7:44
challenge because if you get on a plane
7:46
right now you're still not going to make
7:47
it but the Holy Father several hundred
7:50
years ago extended that Indulgence to
7:54
anyone who was unable to be at the Port
7:57
unula could receive receiving communion
8:00
going to confession praying for the
8:02
intentions of the Holy Father and of
8:04
course the big challenging one being
8:05
free of attachment to any sin mortal or
8:08
venial and so this is an Indulgence we
8:11
can receive uh we're certainly at the
8:13
end of mass going to have benediction
8:15
but I'll certainly go back to the
8:16
confessional if anyone is interested and
8:18
would like to go to confession you can
8:19
certainly go to confession tomorrow for
8:21
first Saturday and also receive the
8:23
Indulgence but it's a beautiful tiny
8:26
little gift from the church that we
8:27
don't talk about enough and kind of ties
8:30
into something I think that's more and
8:31
more relevant for us as Americans the
8:34
port unula and the entire kind of
8:36
devotion around it and and the reason it
8:38
exists is the antidote to our god- aul
8:42
obsession with social media 24-hour news
8:45
and things that we can have no
8:47
meaningful impact on and yet we find
8:50
ourselves worried about them constantly
8:53
this simple idea of let me deal with
8:56
what's in front and so it's a wonderful
8:58
day to meditate confessions for those
8:59
who would like son and the holy spirit
9:12
amen blessed are you Lord God of all
9:15
creation for your goodness we have
9:17
received the bread we offer you forever
9:36
blessed are you it will become our
9:38
spiritual
9:45
dream father may the Lord accept the
9:48
sacrifice at my hand for the praise and
9:50
the glory of his name for our good and
9:53
the good of all his holy church accept
9:55
oh Lord we pray the offerings which we
9:57
bring from the abundance of your gifts
9:59
that through the powerful working of
10:01
your grace the the Lord be with you lift
10:05
up your
10:06
hearts let us give thanks to the Lord
