"Then, having sent young men of the Israelites to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice young bulls as communion offerings to the LORD, Moses took half of the blood and put it in large bowls; the other half he splashed on the altar. Taking the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people, who answered, 'All that the LORD has said, we will hear and do.' Then he took the blood and splashed it on the people, saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words.'" (Exodus 24:5-8) "On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, 'Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?'" (Mark 14:12) Pesach, a Hebrew word, means "passover"; Pesachim, discusses Passover and the Passover sacrifice. "While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, 'Take it; this is my body.' Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, an

"Creaturely being, assumed by God in Christ, serves as a kind of prism of the triune God, refracting the white divine light into the distinct colors of the 'spectrum' of creation: the Beautiful, the Good, and the True. The Trinity, and its appearance and saving work in Christ and Spirit, gives the sprawling trilogy its deep unity." -Hans Urs von Balthashar You Crown the Year With Your Goodness by Hans Urs von Balthasar "You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down before them or serve them. For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their ancestors’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation; but showing love down to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. For the LORD will not leave unpunished anyone who invokes his name

The Storm on the Sea of Galilee—Rembrandt: Stolen from the Boston Art Museum, one of the greatest heists in all of history. Beauty is not ancillary to the Christian faith; beauty is at the heart of the identity of God.—Fr. Brian Larkin Artists can help you and I learn how to pray by leading us to a deeper level of what happened on the boat when Jesus fell asleep during the storm. .................. Fathers master the art of good storytelling. The life of every human being is the stepping into the great story that God has written. Dads, you need to know that story well to instill it in our children. G.K. Chesterton: "The perfect happiness of men on the earth (if it ever comes) will not be a flat and solid thing, like the satisfaction of animals. It will be an exact and perilous balance; like that of a desperate romance. Man must have just enough faith in himself to have adventures, and just enough doubt of himself to enjoy them.” God did not create us for an easy life—He created us to be part of an amazing

Resources referenced in today's Pentecost homily, "Curmudgeons and New Wine," with Fr. Brian Larkin: "Late have I loved you, beauty ever ancient, ever new. Late have I loved you."—From The Confessions, by St. Augustine "Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine, There's always laughter and good red wine. At least I've always found it so."― Hilaire Belloc Acts 2:13—"Others who mock them say they are filled with new wine." 1 Corinthians 12: All of us were made to drink of one spirit. Ephesians 5:18: "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and making melody to the Lord with all your heart." Luke 5:37: "Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. 38 Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. 39[And] no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’”* What are you

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." Priest joke, if he were a bishop: John 15:14 would be his motto: You are my friends if you do what I command you."

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. It's how we sanctify the world. "The laity sanctify the world in places the priest can't go." If you're able to make simple visits to the Blessed Sacrament, do! 5 minutes can be transformative. This is how it happened for Matthew Kelly! Matthew Kelly: Formed Dynamic Catholic Read Scripture every day. Take a coffee break with the Gospels.

Fr. Brian reveals his cherished relic of the true Holy Cross, and tells the story of Saint Helena and how the true Cross was discovered. He also describes how Holy Week will work for the RCIA candidates, and how love leads to a transformation which naturally adopts a life of morality.

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
