00:33:24So
00:33:35A reading from the acts of the apostles
00:33:39paul and barnabas continued on from purgah and reached antioch and
00:33:46pacedia
00:33:48On the sabbath, they entered the synagogue
00:33:51And took their seats many jews and worshipers
00:33:55Who were converts to judaism?
00:33:58Fouled paul and barnabas
00:34:01Who spoke to them?
00:34:02And urged them to remain faithful to the grace of god
00:34:07On the following sabbath almost a whole city gathered to hear the word of the lord
00:34:15When the jews saw the crowd they were filled with jealousy
00:34:19And with violent abuse
00:34:22contradicted what paul said
00:34:25Both paul and barnabas spoke out boldly
00:34:29and said
00:34:30It was necessary that the word of god be spoken to you first
00:34:36But since you rejected it
00:34:38And condemned yourselves
00:34:41As unworthy of eternal life
00:34:44We now turn to the gentiles
00:34:47For so the lord has commanded us
00:34:51I have made you a light to the gentiles
00:34:55That you may be an instrument of salvation
00:35:00to the ends of the earth
00:35:03The gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the lord
00:35:11All who were destined for eternal life
00:35:14Came to believe and the word of the lord continued to spread through the whole region
00:35:21the jews
00:35:23However incited the woman of prominence
00:35:27Who were worshipers?
00:35:29And the leading men of the city stirred up a persecution
00:35:34Against paul and barnabas and expelled them from their territory
00:35:41So they shook the dust from their feet to
00:35:44Protest against them and went to iconium
00:35:49The disciples were filled with joy
00:35:53In the holy spirit the word of the lord
00:35:59Our response to our psalm today is we are his people the sheep of his flock
00:36:07We are his people
00:36:12Sing joyfully to the lord
00:36:14all you lands
00:36:16Serve the lord with gladness
00:36:18And come before him with joyful song
00:36:23We are his people
00:36:27Know that the lord is god he made us
00:36:31His we are his people the flock he tends
00:36:42The lord is good his kindness endures forever in his faithfulness to all generations
00:36:50We are
00:36:58A reading for the book of revelations
00:37:01I john
00:37:02Had a vision of great multitude
00:37:05Which no one could count
00:37:08from every nation
00:37:09race
00:37:11people and tongue
00:37:13They stood before
00:37:15the throne
00:37:17And before the lamb wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands
00:37:26Then one of the elders said to me
00:37:29These are the ones
00:37:31Who have survived the great time of great distress?
00:37:36They have washed their robes
00:37:39And made them white in the blood of the lamb
00:37:42For this reason they stand before god's throne and worship him day and night in his temple
00:37:51The one who sits on the throne will shelter them
00:37:55They will not hunger or thirst anymore
00:37:59Nor will the sun or any heat strike them
00:38:04for the lamb
00:38:06Who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them?
00:38:10And lead them to spring of life
00:38:13giving waters
00:38:15And god will wipe away
00:38:17every tear
00:38:19from their eyes
00:38:20the word of the lord
00:38:40You
00:38:45Please rise
00:38:48Alleluia
00:38:50Alleluia
00:38:54Alleluia
00:38:56Alleluia
00:39:08When the chief shepherd is revealed you will receive the unfading crown of glory
00:39:16For he is our god and we are the people. He shepherds the flock. He guides
00:39:26Alleluia
00:39:29Alleluia
00:39:34Alleluia
00:39:57So
00:40:12The lord be with you
00:40:15A reading from the holy gospel according to saint john
00:40:19Glory be to you. Oh lord
00:40:21jesus said
00:40:23My sheep hear my voice
00:40:26I know them and they follow me
00:40:28I give them eternal life and they shall never perish
00:40:33No one can take them out of my hand
00:40:36My father who has given them to me is greater than all
00:40:40And no one can take them out of the father's hand
00:40:44The father and I are one
00:40:47This is the gospel
00:40:49of the lord
00:40:51Praise me to you. Oh lord. Jesus christ
00:40:56Amen
00:41:26They are
00:41:47We
00:41:56So
00:42:06My father who has given them to me
00:42:09Is greater than all and no one can take them out of the father's hand
00:42:15In the name of the father and of the son of the holy spirit
00:42:18Amen
00:42:19Christ is risen
00:42:21Alleluia
00:42:23Alleluia
00:42:25Very good. We're getting in the groove. That's great
00:42:29the eternal
00:42:31creating god
00:42:33the just god
00:42:34Holds each and every one of us
00:42:39Like that
00:42:41That image of jesus the good shepherd
00:42:44Cradling the sheep in his arms the same image in that beautiful painting in the back of the church
00:42:52That is how god the father holds us as well
00:42:56Jesus and the father are one and as jesus holds us in his arms. So does the father?
00:43:04Jesus calls out this very key point
00:43:08We sometimes fail to grasp
00:43:11We may miss it because of images exactly like that one and that one in the back of the church
00:43:17The ones of jesus cradling the the sheep in his arms and and that's a natural thing we go to that
00:43:23That's what we see. Jesus is the good shepherd. Jesus told us I am the good shepherd
00:43:30It's natural to focus only on the image of the scene jesus
00:43:36as shepherd
00:43:38Yet what jesus calls us to do today?
00:43:42Is focus on his father in heaven?
00:43:46His father
00:43:48Who equally holds us in the palm of his hand?
00:43:53The father sits upon his glorious throne in heaven
00:43:58You know
00:43:58we've all seen paintings of the father the son and the holy spirit in heaven and always the father's head like this older guy with a
00:44:05Really long white beard i'm kind of getting there. Uh, you know get a really long white beard. Uh,
00:44:12But on that glorious throne in heaven
00:44:15He holds each and every one of us
00:44:18in his arms
00:44:21The father declares that we are his
00:44:25and no one
00:44:27No one can take us away from him
00:44:31We could liken this image to that of a mother on this mother's day or a father
00:44:37holding their infant in their arms
00:44:40As they rock away in a chair
00:44:43Nice good old-fashioned rocking chair. I love rocking chairs
00:44:48We through our experience have all seen that image of perfect love of a parent cradling their child in their arms
00:44:57The perfect love that is shown forth the care that is shown forth
00:45:02And the defense and protection
00:45:06That is shown forth by the love of a mother
00:45:09or a father
00:45:11Love when poured out before our eyes is naturally understood. We just get it when we see that we get it
00:45:19That's what love means
00:45:22Today we are called to see our heavenly father doing exactly that thing for each and every one of us
00:45:30His magnificent overwhelming and unconditional love
00:45:36Is poured out on us as he holds us
00:45:41It's a wonderful image
00:45:44What what a beautiful thing to contemplate this day and always that our father is just holding us
00:45:51Loving us loving on us
00:45:55Without condition
00:45:58But with great care and compassion
00:46:02Some smarty pants people and I probably use other words for them, but i'm going to say smarty pants people
00:46:08That's a good old-fashioned word
00:46:10When talking about our faith
00:46:12And these people are usually insiders, right? They're christians, right?
00:46:17They make ridiculous statements
00:46:20Make ridiculous statements like love is more important than doctrine
00:46:25Love is more important than doctor who cares about doctrine. Those are just rules, right?
00:46:30That's because their definition of doctrine is corrupted
00:46:35They don't know what they're talking about
00:46:38in this
00:46:401700th year
00:46:41of the council of nicaea
00:46:43In the creed that was promulgated at that council which we're going to profess in a couple minutes. I won't be too long
00:46:50Don't worry. Um
00:46:53We declare a doctrine a doctrine that tells us who god is
00:47:00What jesus is telling us today is what the creed and the doctrine of the church tell us about god
00:47:09And this is who he is
00:47:12a father
00:47:13Sending his beloved son into the world and to the cross for us
00:47:19A
00:47:21Father with love that is so great
00:47:25so
00:47:26overpowering
00:47:27That he spent it all
00:47:30To bring us into relationship with him
00:47:33To take us into his arms
00:47:37If we live what we believe we live love
00:47:43We live love
00:47:46If we are one with the father and the son and in the holy spirit
00:47:51We bear the image of our loving god
00:47:56Yesterday we experienced the ordination of a new shepherd right one of me, right?
00:48:02I didn't clone sean believe me. It's you know, uh, but I wish I had his age, right?
00:48:08Nice strong young man about to go out into the church as a shepherd of people of a parish
00:48:16In the model of jesus the good shepherd
00:48:23Father sean it's going to be taking me a while to get used to saying that
00:48:28Toward the end of holy mass and this is one of those beautiful things you do when you you come at the end of holy
00:48:35Mass and you kneel before the bishop with your hands folded and the bishop takes your your hands into his hands
00:48:42And he says do you promise me and my successors obedience
00:48:48All right
00:48:49That way you can't cross your fingers
00:48:52He's got your hands in his hands
00:48:54right
00:48:56And you say I do so swear. That's the only answer. There's one answer. I do so swear
00:49:01You can't say I do so swear, but
00:49:04I'm promising obedience
00:49:08But this is what moved me to tears
00:49:11I broke down right there
00:49:16After that promise prime bishop leaned over sean and gently kissed him on the head
00:49:29Our shepherd the chief shepherd of our church in the model of our loving heavenly father
00:49:37Father embracing us holding us in his arms
00:49:43placing that gentle kiss
00:49:45on our heads
00:49:47That opened my eyes
00:49:50That opened my eyes to the great love
00:49:52That our father has for us
00:49:55the name of the father and of the son of the holy spirit
00:50:07So
00:50:14Let us now rise and together profess our faith
00:50:18I believe in one god the father and the almighty
00:50:24Of all that is seen and unseen I believe in one lord jesus christ the only son of god
00:50:32Eternally the god of the father god from god light from light true god the true god
00:50:38The god not made of one being with the father through all him all things were made for us and for our salvation
00:50:46He came down from heaven by the power of the holy spirit. He was born of the virgin mary and became man
00:50:54Him
00:50:57For our savior he was crucified in a conscious pilot. He suffered death and was buried on the third day
00:51:05He rose again in fulfillment of his scriptures
00:51:08He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father
00:51:20I believe in the holy spirit the lord and giver of life
00:51:24Who proceeds from the father with the father and the son of his worshipping lord. I
00:51:30He has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one holy god in every scholar church
00:51:36I acknowledge one baptism with forgiveness of sins. I look to the resurrection of the dead in the life of the world to come
00:51:45amen
00:51:49The lord be with you
