Resources referenced in today's 5th Sunday of Easter homily, with Fr. Brian Larkin: Love & Commandment If the love of God dwells inside of you, there is only one commandment. "If you do not love, there are a thousand commandments. But, if you have love, there is only one."

The Good Sheep The good sheep: always stays close to his shepherd. Sheep stuck in a crevasse video Consult with God before making major decisions, because he wants to be a part of these things. Your prayer life changes once you fulfill your vocation. There's a real spirituality when we consecrate every single aspect of our vocation to the Lord. Give it all to His glory.

Easter Schedule Review, Followed by discussions about Matthew 26:45 and how it echoes Psalm 22, and gay marriage and why "sex is not the same thing as love, and love is not sex. Fr. recommends a few books: "What Is Marriage?" and "Debating Religious Liberty & Discrimination"

Palm Sunday Sight to the Blind Irony: Often those who are blind can see better than those who can see. —inspired by the novel, “All the Light We Cannot See”https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18143977-all-the-light-we-cannot-see If you’re going to understand what God wants to say to you, when we read the Passion, you have to sit with it and let it percolate. Often what happens is that those who see the most—who have the biggest advantage—those are the ones who are truly blind.—FB The Passion: Saul should have known the most about Christ, because he studied under one of the greatest Rabis, and yet he misses who Jesus truly is. The last thing Jesus does before he enters Jerusalem is heals a blind man. Mark 10https://bible.usccb.org/bible/mark/10 “Master, let me receive my sight.” “Your faith has made you well.” -You and I are blind. He will make those who can see, blind, and those who are blind, see. -The thing that ultimately will heal the world of its blindness is the incomprehensible love of Jesu

Perfection Is Completion "Tetalesti" — Greek for "It is finished." "Telos"—an end or completeness, and "teleos" is Perfection —almost one in the same. 1st: Be in awe and wonder at the perfect work of Redemption that God has accomplished in Christ. 2nd: Have hearts to see what God has done in Christ and see the perfection. John 12–13: shows 6 signs that show who He is. In John 13, the language shifts to glory. Wedding Feast of Cana—"My hour has not come." "Jesus knew that God had an hour and a plan for Jesus's life, and the plan was that Jesus would surrender his life for the world. He expected it to come, he knew it would arrive, and he lived for that moment—to give himself away."—Fr. Brian Larkin 10 times he told of this time, but for the first time, in our gospel today, the time has arrived. 2nd point: God wants to perfect your life by removing the parts that don't belong, and it's going to hurt. Hebrews 5:8 "Mothane pothane or pothane mothane (?)"—means, "to suffer is to learn." Michelangelo's famous im

A nod to Saint Patrick and tapping into marriage and priesthood.

Grasped by the Light Homily at 21:28 -John 3: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/3 -Authentic faith always contains obedience and love. -Pistis—Greek for "faith" -Someone who continuously chooses not to believe in Jesus is the one who cannot be saved. - Balthasar: There can be no neutrality in the face of him, no avoidance, no avoiding his gesture.... -Thomas Aquinas: Faith is an obedient surrender to the light—that kind of faith will save you for all eternity. -St. Francis De Sales: Meditation: "Place yourself in the presence of God. Imagine yourself alone in a field with your guardian angel. "When you see the great contrast between God and Satan, you will see all these things that seem appealing, but they leave people hollow. When you see the side of Christ and the Crucifixion, you will find faith, hope, and joy. Make your decision. Make this your faith." —Fr.

Redefinition of Everything Keep Christ at the Center; The Cross Redefines All Things "I used to think power meant dominance over others. The Cross shows is that Christ is the power of God."—Fr. Brian Larkin The Cross of Jesus Christ redefined wisdom, priesthood—everything. The groom laid down His life for His Bride. Ephesians 5 Cleansing of the Temple is Preparation for Calvary Paradox of the Cross Cor. 1:18–25 18 The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.k19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the learning of the learned I will set aside.” 20 Where is the wise one? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish?m 21* For since in the wisdom of God the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it was the will of God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those who have faith. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom
