my heart
6:06
in the name of the father and of the son of the Holy Spirit the Lord be with you as we come before our Lord to celebrate
6:13
these sacred Mysteries and honors in Charles barameo let us acknowledge our sins now and so prepare our hearts
6:21
I confess to almighty God and to you my brothers and sisters that I have greatly
6:28
sinned yet my thoughts and in my words and what I have done and in what I have
6:34
failed to do through my fault through my fault through my most Grievous fault and
6:40
therefore I ask the Blessed Mary ever virgin all the angels and Saints and you
6:46
my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the Lord Our God May almighty God
6:51
have mercy on us forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life
6:56
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord
7:02
have mercy let us pray Preserve in the midst of your people we
7:08
ask the Lord the spirit with which you filled the bishop Saint Charles Borromeo that your church may be constantly
7:15
renewed and by conforming herself to the likeness of Christ may show his face to
7:20
the world who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever
7:38
foreign
7:49
a reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians
7:55
join with others in being imitators of me brothers and sisters and observe
8:01
those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in US
8:07
for many as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears conduct
8:14
themselves as enemies of the Cross of Christ [Music] their end is destruction
8:22
their God is their stomach their glory is in their shame
8:29
their minds are occupied with Earthly things but our citizenship is in heaven and
8:37
from it we also await a savior the Lord Jesus Christ
8:42
he will change your lowly body and to conform with his glorified body by the
8:50
power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself
8:57
therefore my brothers and sisters whom I love and long for my joy and Crown in
9:05
this way stand firm in the Lord beloved the word of the Lord
9:14
let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord
9:20
I Rejoice because they said to me we will go up to the house of the Lord and
9:26
now we have set foot within your Gates o Jerusalem let us go rejoicing to the house of the
9:34
Lord Jerusalem built as a city with compact Unity to it the tribes go up the tribes
9:43
of the Lord let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord
9:48
according to the decree for Israel to give thanks to the name of the Lord in
9:55
it are set up judgment seats seats for the House of David
10:01
let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord
10:20
the Lord be with you a reading from the holy Gospel According to Saint Luke
10:28
said to his disciples a rich man had a steward who was reported to him for
10:33
squandering his property he summoned him and said what is this I hear about you
10:38
prepare a full account of your stewardship because you can no longer be my steward
10:44
said to himself what shall I do now that my master is taking the position of Stewart away from me I am not strong
10:51
enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg I know what I shall do so that when I am removed from the stewardship they may
10:58
welcome me into their homes he called in his master's debtors one by one to the first he said how much do you
11:04
owe my master and he replied 100 measures of olive oil and he said to him here is your promissory note sit down
11:11
and quickly write one for 50. and then to another he said in you how much do you owe and he replied 100 measures of
11:18
Wheat and he said to him here is your promissory note write one for 80. and
11:24
the master commended that dishonest Steward for acting prudently for the children of this world are more prudent
11:29
in dealing with their own generation than the children of light the gospel of the Lord
11:38
foreign the question of the enemies of the Lord
11:43
is one that's particularly interesting and relevant nowadays because for the last say 75 years we've been kind of
11:50
surrounded by this idea of to love Jesus is to be nice right that's the most important of all the virtues we should
11:57
be nice to one another and we've had you know a slew of people argue that Christians should be pacifists and
12:04
Christians should uh you know we should love our neighbors and that means that we don't even acknowledge that these people are a genuine threat and of
12:11
course nowadays we're seeing churches destroyed even over in Winnsboro there was a church to face the statue of the
12:17
Blessed Virgin Mary had satanic images painted on it you know this is not something that's way way off this is
12:22
something that is a genuine and real threat to the Church of Jesus Christ and
12:28
of course we also can look back at the life of Saint Charles Borromeo and say that it was a real sort of thing I mean
12:34
he was being chased around by the mafia with swords to kill him right so the enemies of the church were a very real
12:41
sort of thing and there is in our modern kind of way of thinking a certain
12:46
disconnect where we say gosh enemies of the church that's not a thing right nobody's trying to chase the Holy Father
12:52
down and run him you know off into the into the river and push him down and drown him although that that's happened
12:57
before and it's it's kind of the idea of the worst thing that we have are people
13:03
who are plotting whatever that means against the pope but in reality there are grave enemies of the church there
13:10
are people who are actively looking to suppress the Gospel of Jesus there are people who want to do whatever it takes
13:17
to make sure that the truth of Jesus Christ is not spoken and those are people inside and outside the church and
13:24
of course the Lord gives us a clear pattern of what to do one is that we
13:29
have to pray that the Lord would deal with these people even Saint Paul has
13:35
that idea look these people are teaching wrong stuff it's the holy spirit's job to whoop them it it's not my job to
13:41
whoop them I might want to whoop them but that ain't what I'm supposed to do that's not my job and so in a certain
13:46
sense we have to say one we have to give this to the Lord and entrust this to the Lord the same way that we have problems
13:53
with you know some random dictator across the world Who's acting the fool well the first thing we have to do is
13:59
pray for them the second thing we have to do is we have to genuinely prepare
14:04
ourselves to be of service to the Lord if the need arises now I mean that in a
14:12
very specific way because Saint Charles borromeo's other great thing other than being chased around by the mafia was he
14:18
established seminaries and in fact he was one of the first ones to say nobody should be a priest unless they actually
14:24
know the gospel I know mind-bending it still doesn't seem to apply to some folks nowadays but but that's that's
14:30
where we are like Saint Charles parameo said we need to train our priests precisely because the the best thing we
14:39
can do to respond to error into the enemies of the church is to have a clergy and a laity who know what we
14:46
believe so if someone comes up and says well the church believes this or the church believes that we can refute them
14:53
and say no no the church doesn't believe those things in fact the church believes X Y or Z and so the first thing we have
14:59
to do is hand it to the Holy Spirit and the second thing we have to do is prepare ourselves so that if there is
15:04
someone who is an enemy of the church we're prepared to do something about it
15:09
there is a third level two although we don't I doubt we're going to have that problem here in beautiful Historic downtown Tallulah where people are
15:16
bursting into the back and we need to be physically prepared over in other places and other cities we have full-on
15:22
Ministries where people are carrying their nine millimeters and all that kind of stuff and when we've ever had sketchy
15:27
people here you'll hear about 15 purses unzip and I go we're fine we're completely okay you know because there
15:33
is that component as well but I don't think we're going to really have to worry too hard about that here at Saint
15:39
Edwards folks watching somewhere else may be more concerned about that last component of physically protecting the
15:45
church and physically protecting the Blessed Sacrament but this whole component of of there are enemies of the
15:52
church we need to acknowledge that we need to ask the Lord to to deal with them and we need to prepare ourselves to
16:00
be of use to the Lord if that need arises those are real things and they
16:05
are valuable things and we can't simply allow the idea of we just need to be nice Jesus just loves nice people that's
16:12
really not helpful and it's also not served us well I mean our churches used to be full and now they're largely empty
16:19
you know the largest denomination in the United States is Catholic and the second largest is used to be Catholic you know
16:25
so so in a certain sense we can't look back and say gosh the last 70 years have really gotten or done they haven't the
16:32
last 70 years have not been successful and so by simply saying niceness as a
16:37
principle that's been a failure it's an experiment and it's failed and so we need to kind of take the scriptural
16:43
premise of what do we do if there are people who are looking to bring damage to the church that we love we ask the
16:49
Lord for help and we prepare ourselves to be of service if he needs us to be and of course that's exactly what Saint
16:55
Charles borrow May proposed for the problems of his day and it seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to bring to
17:00
the problems of our day and some of us asked Saint Charles today to pray for us that we would be able to confront the
17:06
enemies of the church whatever they may be and wherever they may be using the same principles that he did in the name
17:12
of the father and the son and the holy spirit amen
17:30
blessed are you Lord God of all creation for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you fruit of
17:36
the earth and work of human hands it will become for us the bread of life
18:02
blessed are you Lord God of all creation for through your goodness we have received the wine we offer you fruit of
18:08
the vine and work of human hands it will become our spiritual drink
18:15
foreign [Music]
18:22

18:29

18:34

18:41

20:34

command we celebrate these Mysteries for on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread and giving you thanks
20:48
he said the blessing broke the bread and gave it to his disciples saying
20:53
take this all of you and eat of it for this is my body which will be given up
21:00
for you
21:18
in a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice and giving you thanks he said the blessing and gave the
21:24
Chalice to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it
21:29
for this is the Chalice of My Blood the blood of the new and eternal
