Okay, so here we are in the season of lent.
00:00:23:04 – 00:00:43:22
Unknown
Many people are beginning penitential practices or giving things up as a way by which to focus more ardently on the Lord. My suspicion is that a lot of people will give up screens of one sort or another phones, computers, maybe YouTube time, maybe they’ve installed one of these, like, filter things. That’s a technical term, sets that they will not be looking at YouTube.
00:00:43:22 – 00:01:06:17
Unknown
But before there was YouTube, there were still viral videos. They just, appeared on different platforms, different websites. So let’s say like, let’s back in time 18 years and think about our own penitential practices. If we were theoretically to have given up a viral video circa 2005, did you have favorite go tos something.com? I’m a host. I’m most,
00:01:06:19 – 00:01:28:13
Unknown
What, what site? Did you ever see that? Where it’s like a crazy person cooking muffins and, like, naming all the different flavors, like I’m cooking muffins as best I can? Yes, yes. It’s messy. That’s a laugh. But, I actually just looked up that video recently. Oh, it’s still on the internet. Oh, that’s related to a friend.
00:01:28:13 – 00:01:58:06
Unknown
So yes, the muffin video is in existence and it’s still cracks me up. Yeah, I found them on the very back. Oh, go! Oh, that was about to. What was I supposed to say? Movie video. Baby, you just full. You’re just in full Homestar mode. Yeah. Full of Homestar mode activated. He goes home. So I want to, say something about welcome aboard the USS, star.
00:01:58:07 – 00:02:27:14
Unknown
Want to come? If you are a Gen Z person and you’re listening to us and you don’t understand any of this, I exhort you, please go watch the introduction with, dot com introduction. That’s where I lived for a long emails. Okay. But apart from the things that we’re giving up, we turn now to the things that we’re taking on, which is is a more heartfelt or a more conscious and deliberate meditation on the sacred scriptures during the season.
00:02:27:16 – 00:02:52:07
Unknown
So why don’t we go ahead and say to collect for the mass of today, we can begin praying through the readings. Let us pray. Almighty God, through the yearly observances of Holy Lent, that we may grow an understanding of the riches hidden in Christ, and by worthy conduct, pursue their effects through our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
00:02:52:09 – 00:03:18:05
Unknown
Amen. Amen. Turning then to this, our first reading is taken from the book of Deuteronomy. Moses spoke to the people, saying, the priest shall receive the basket from you, and shall set it in front of the altar of the Lord your God. Then you shall declare before the Lord your God. My father was a wandering Arameans who went down to Egypt with a small household, and lived there as an alien.
00:03:18:07 – 00:03:42:19
Unknown
But there he became a nation great, strong, and numerous. When the Egyptians maltreated and oppressed us, imposing hard labor upon us, we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers. And he heard our cry, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. He brought us out of Egypt with his strong hands and outstretched arm, with terrifying power, with signs and wonders, and bringing us into this country.
00:03:42:21 – 00:04:02:15
Unknown
He gave us this land flowing with milk and honey. Therefore I have now brought you the first fruits of the products of the soil which you, O Lord, have given me. And having set them before the Lord your God, you shall bow down in his presence. So we’re thinking here in terms of the cultic practice of the people of Israel.
00:04:02:15 – 00:04:29:15
Unknown
So in terms of their practice of offering oblations, sacrifices, tithes, firstfruits, all manner of worshipful things to God, whether in the temple or outside of the temple setting, at least in the presence of a Levitical priesthood. Most kind of opportunities, but maybe. Maybe otherwise too. And it’s interesting that when you make a sacrifice, when you make an offering, the idea is that you’ll be in some way conscious and deliberate in doing so.
00:04:29:17 – 00:05:00:12
Unknown
So what is it, then, that you call to mind? Do you call to mind your many efforts, your many attempts at being holy, your many past penitential practices and seasons of lent come by? Know you recall the mighty deeds of the Most High God. So you recall what he has done to bring your people out of or of the qualities, to promise to your forefathers lands, blessing progeny, and eventually, like in the kind of greatest feat of God’s providential love, to lead them forth from Egypt.
00:05:00:14 – 00:05:28:22
Unknown
So I think in this line that we often meditate on the Psalms, like our fathers have told us, the story of the things you did in their days, you yourself, in days long ago. So there’s a sense in which we as the people of God, as one grafted into Israel, which comes to its completion, its fullness in the church, are responsible for calling to mind who God is and what God does, which is to say how he provides, how he loves us, how he continually answers our prayers because that’s how we remain rooted in covenant fidelity.
00:05:29:00 – 00:05:55:08
Unknown
Yeah, we can be faithless from time to time, but he’ll be faithful because he can’t deny himself. So meditating on who God is and what God does, we find in the substance of our true offering, which is to render back to God the beautiful things that he has done for us. I really, I love that practice. When you talk about how like to remind ourselves of the good things the Lord has done, because lent is, and rightly so, it kind of focuses on our efforts and our practices, right?
00:05:55:08 – 00:06:15:08
Unknown
We increase prayer, fasting, and all this giving as a personal preparation for the mysteries that we’ll celebrate at Easter. But part that actually should be calling to mind the years past and the good things the Lord has done. It’s not just about calling to mind our sinfulness, our brokenness, our weakness, but it is truly to call it call to mind.
00:06:15:08 – 00:06:41:22
Unknown
Like the glories of the Lord in our own personal lives. So that might be part of that spiritual practice is to take an account of the glories of the Lord in our own lives, and to write those down, to articulate those in some way that we are mindful of the fidelity of the Lord, the glories of the Lord, as well as our preparation as as part of that preparation for his, you know, redemption and Easter in that way.
00:06:42:00 – 00:07:03:11
Unknown
I think one of the temptations when we start reading about the Exodus story, when we hear about the story of Israel as we heard from Deuteronomy, it’s it’s it’s tempting to fall into that that perennial trap of thinking that the God of the Old Testament, as opposed to the God of the New Testament, right, like Marcion and other thinkers have done in the past, and I think one of the,
00:07:03:11 – 00:07:17:05
Unknown
one of the gifts that we get in Deuteronomy, which is really a love story, fundamentally, Deuteronomy is one of the gifts we get in Deuteronomy is, this claim that God is not harsh or against you, but the God that God is
00:07:17:05 – 00:07:37:05
Unknown
in fact for you, that God is for the Israelites. He is merciful, he is loving. And it’s that connection then between God is he’s revealing himself to Israel and God is he reveals Himself as Father through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. That allows us to face down that temptation to oppose the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament.
00:07:37:07 – 00:07:57:04
Unknown
And so we we cling to lines like, like the ones we’re hearing today. That the Lord heard the cry of the Israelites, that he saw their affliction. He saw their toil. He brought them out of Egypt. He gave them a land flowing with milk and honey. And then all of these are signs to Israel and signs to us of the Lord’s mercy.
00:07:58:06 – 00:08:20:18
Unknown
Yeah. I keep using the words loving kindness. I mean, we have this word that has had such a good word. It’s like once you get your words on there. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But this idea that, like, we have various ways of understanding divine attributes on the basis of our limited understanding where it’s like, yeah, like justice and mercy or like fidelity and yet only used to a certain responsibility.
00:08:20:18 – 00:08:40:15
Unknown
But this idea of like loving kindness, the fact that it’s love, but that there’s a sweetness to it, you know, a kind of tenderness to it that God likens himself to father in the Old Testament, maybe a dozen times. He also likens himself to mother on a couple of occasions. Obviously, God is, you know, beyond sex of a human sort on account of fact that it doesn’t have a body.
00:08:40:17 – 00:09:01:21
Unknown
But this idea that God is both like the foundation of love, but also it’s something, you know, like, I have a friend will say that the father is like the foundation of love. Excuse me? The mother is like the foundation of love. And the father kind of sets the standard for how love should strive in the sense, like, get after it, work for it, you know, not in the sense that you’re at risk of losing my love in the sense like, I want to see you try.
00:09:01:21 – 00:09:19:06
Unknown
I want to see you strive. So there’s the sense in which we’re empowered and emboldened by the love of God. But we also know in the marrow of our bones that we’re not going to lose it. Right. It’s not not going away, and we can lay hold of it. You’ll get conscious of that, confident in that. Let’s turn that to the secondary.
00:09:19:12 – 00:09:43:12
Unknown
All right. I’ll take it. This is a reading from Saint Paul to the Romans. Brothers and sisters, what does Scripture say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. That is the word of faith that we preach. For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
00:09:43:14 – 00:10:03:17
Unknown
For one believes with the heart, and so is justified. And one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved. But the Scripture says, no one who believes in him will be put to shame. But there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord of all, and read, and rich in all who call upon him.
00:10:03:19 – 00:10:10:23
Unknown
For every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
00:10:11:01 – 00:10:35:23
Unknown
One quick note that that jumps out at me in this, reading is that Paul is writing to the Romans, and yet he, makes it very clear, he says, that there’s no distinction between Jew and Greek, but he’s writing to a Roman audience, which is interesting to think of it, to emphasize that, you know, you include the Romans in that, fact that there’s no distinction between that because the Lord is Lord of all.
00:10:36:01 – 00:10:59:07
Unknown
But he’s making this, this pronouncement, this proclamation in such a way that is claiming the universality of the redemption of our Lord, that it’s accessible and is offered to every single person. And the way that we kind of enter into that is to call upon his name. And, for many people I know, the sins of speech are very easy to fall into.
00:10:59:07 – 00:11:20:12
Unknown
And, we all do it in a variety of ways. But taking the Lord’s name in vain is, a sin that we typically hear in the confessional. And one of the things that we can find in, particularly in this passage, is the fact that we actually are to call upon the name of the Lord. We are you to use the name of the Lord very frequently.
00:11:20:14 – 00:11:42:00
Unknown
Because that’s where we, where where we would be saved is to call upon his presence and to call him into our, situations and circumstances. So it there’s a great gift in the prohibition to taking the Lord’s name in vain. But it’s not a prohibition to not use the name of the Lord. And to see this, and especially at the very beginning of lent.
00:11:42:00 – 00:12:14:09
Unknown
And when we’re trying to purify our lives and actions and words in such a way, but to take that frequency of using the Lord’s name, but to use it in a prayerful way and to turn that not from just using it in vain, but to use it with reference, to use it with love, and to use it even in situations where we are exacerbated or just, exhausted in, in different ways to turn to the Lord by uttering his name, putting the name, the sweet name of the Lord Jesus on our lips and in different ways, is actually what we are called to do.
00:12:14:09 – 00:12:33:01
Unknown
Because when we are doing that, we are calling on the name of the Lord, and we will be saved in those moments. And so to see this as, you know, especially in the beginning when we’re to thinking, okay, how do I kind of, you know, adjust my spiritual practices or whatnot to be attentive to how we use the name of the Lord.
00:12:33:01 – 00:12:48:14
Unknown
And yes, we do not want to use it in vain, but actually use it with frequency and to use it with reverence and love. As Saint Paul encourages us to do in this, letter to the Romans. Yeah. It seems if we look at this letter that there could be a little bit of attention here. Believe in your heart, right?
00:12:48:14 – 00:13:06:04
Unknown
Because we talk about our faith is an intellectual thing and that that charity and hope are in the will. We should, however, add a little bit of color to this commentary, right? To make make a little bit further distinction, to say that faith requires assent. Faith does require, according to Thomas, a movement of will and act of the heart.
00:13:06:06 – 00:13:33:05
Unknown
So to say, believe in your heart is not a nonsensical thing. And I think this is very difficult for people, who, you know, are inclined to Dominican, spirituality, who listen to a lot of, Aquinas one on one videos, that sort of thing. You want to say? You want to say that like, faith is all up here, that it’s all up in my mind and that if I just figure out enough of the rules and enough of the metaphysics and enough of the philosophy, then I, then I can believe and believing will be easier for me.
00:13:33:05 – 00:13:53:16
Unknown
And that’s true in a certain sense. Because faith is reasonable, and it’s the kind of thing that can be, explored and must be explored. Faith is an intelligible thing. It’s not something to mock. We we believe all of those things. And but we also know that faith, again, requires this movement of, well, that that you do have to say in your heart, no, I think I think this is true.
00:13:53:16 – 00:14:08:07
Unknown
I think this is the story of my life. And lent is an opportunity for all of us who have made that movement of heart to make it, to make it again, to reassert it. Right. To go back to the beginning and say, no, I think this is what this is what exists on the horizon of my life.
00:14:08:07 – 00:14:25:02
Unknown
This is this is really what I’m living for. I’m not not just for these ideas, but but to be transformed by them so that my life would really, really be shaped by them, that I would have, that I would have the smell of it, the odor of, faith that it would, that it would be all about me.
00:14:25:03 – 00:14:48:06
Unknown
I think often, three axes. I’m just playing 3D chess. Not for just, so the anthropological, the Christological, the, the logical, and the reason for which is like I, I’m, I’m conscious at many moments of the day or many moments of the week that fit like face of charity, but like the theological life is addressed to us as human beings, and you can’t lose sight of your humanity.
00:14:48:07 – 00:15:10:04
Unknown
Or are you going to be tempted in the direction of like angel ism or regionalism? But what’s most difficult, I think, about being human is living in both worlds right to the matter and spirit, body and the body and spirit. And so like what you hear here is a kind of language of embodiment, you know, like vintage.
00:15:10:04 – 00:15:30:22
Unknown
Dunn asks, what’s the best picture of the soul? And he says, the body, right? We just tend to think of them at odds and ends or think of them at loggerheads. But it’s just no, we’re body souls and or and soul bodies. And when we talk about the life, faith, hope and charity, we’re talking about something that has not just a bodily dimension but is bodily insofar as we are bodily and then Christological.
00:15:30:22 – 00:15:47:12
Unknown
You see, you know, the stakes of this. Obviously Christ didn’t have faith or hope. Maybe that’s not obvious, but Saint Thomas teaches that faith and hope are not to be found in the psychology or the activity of Christ, because he already sees and he already possesses. So there’s no need to believe. There’s no need to hope as a result.
00:15:47:14 – 00:16:04:20
Unknown
Nevertheless, Christ is our model. And not just like I hear you might prayerfully consider this as an option for your future model, but in a sense, like Christ is causing us to be conformed to him by his living of our human life. And so, like Christ lives, the theology of life and its perfection, specifically thinking there of of charity.
00:16:04:22 – 00:16:18:01
Unknown
And then like, what does that mean for us when it comes to professing? And I think here that’s like the logic isn’t like, all right, you got you got belief on like now it’s time to focus on confession of confession on your faith. Like, no, no, no, no. A faith that is believed is a faith that is professed because of faith.
00:16:18:01 – 00:16:37:12
Unknown
It has a spiritual dimension, also has a bodily dimension. And the one nourishes the other and, you know, causes the latter. So there’s like a back and forth things can cause each other in the same way and in the same respect. But nevertheless there’s like a back and forth whereby our life of faith is meant to be human, you know, it’s like meant to be human.
00:16:37:12 – 00:16:54:02
Unknown
And because it’s like faith, sometimes we think about it as something ethereal and like Angel Istic, but it’s addressed to us, you know, it’s addressed to us. So I think that, like, we find ourselves limping through the season of lent or dragging our corpse through the season of lent, that’s okay. You know, like, that’s that’s a human thing for a tired person.
00:16:54:04 – 00:17:19:23
Unknown
So okay with that, then let’s turn to today’s gospel, a reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke, filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the spirit into the desert for 40 days to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry.
00:17:20:00 – 00:17:43:13
Unknown
The devil said to him, if you were the Son of God, command this stone to become bread. Jesus answered him, it is written, one does not live on bread alone. Then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant the devil said to him, I shall give to you all this power and glory, for it has been handed over to.
00:17:43:15 – 00:18:23:02
Unknown
Excuse me, I shall give to you all this power and glory, for it has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish. All this will be yours if you worship me. Jesus said to him in reply, it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, if you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, he will command his angels concerning you to guard you, and with their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a
00:18:23:02 – 00:18:40:11
Unknown
stone. Jesus said to him in reply, it also says, you shall not put the Lord your God to the test. When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.
00:18:40:13 – 00:19:11:09
Unknown
So classically, the temptations represent the, the main, the main modes of temptation. Right? And they resonate in different ways at different moments in life. So as many times as we’ve begun lent and as many times as we hear the temptations that Christ successfully defeats, right? He doesn’t succumb to them. That’s the point. We we, we receive them again with a kind of different coloring, recognizing that that to what they mean is going to resonate differently in our lives.
00:19:11:09 – 00:19:38:21
Unknown
So when we look at the first temptation, it may be the case that this lent we’re struggling more with a desire to provide for our families, for financial security, for, for establishment, being established in the world. We, you know, with the kind of worldly, worldly affairs insofar as we’re thinking about the means by which we provide for ourselves our own personal security, that is, with respect to the second temptation, with the worship of God.
00:19:38:23 – 00:19:59:18
Unknown
It may be the case that that we’re offering worship to something other than God, that we’ve that we’ve got we’ve we’ve gotten this priority askew in our lives that, that we’re mis aligning, where we’re hanging our hearts that, that we’re not paying to the Lord’s to do so rather than a kind of security in our own life where we’re ignoring our relationship with the Lord.
00:19:59:20 – 00:20:29:22
Unknown
And then lastly, a kind of, a kind of temptation, here, I kind of a temptation here against the value of prayer, against God’s providence. So, so not with respect to worship in our relationship with God, but with respect to trust the great, great fundamental principle in the spiritual life. So I think, I think it’s a great, a great thing every lent to revisit the temptations and say to oneself, where am I right now?
00:20:30:00 – 00:21:00:22
Unknown
And how are the how are they washing over me? How do I stand? How do I stand in these kind of fundamental places in the spiritual life? I think, like in terms of examination of conscience, there are various ways in which we can go about it. And sometimes when you use a few different examinations of conscience at intervals, you know, or alternatively, it helps you to appreciate aspects of the spiritual life that you may not have thought of recently like, or kind of dropped out of the picture, as it were.
00:21:01:00 – 00:21:19:11
Unknown
So like thinking about these temptations as you describe them, or sometimes you’ll hear them described after the manner of the first letter of John with it’s like the, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh. And it’s kind of like, you know, sometimes you’ll hear them described as temptations against poverty, chastity, and obedience of a certain sort.
00:21:19:13 – 00:21:40:01
Unknown
And so it’s like in our own examinations of conscience, we might be in the rhythm of doing, you know, like the Ten Commandments as they are elaborated in a little handout or a pamphlet that we received at church, published by the Knights of Columbus, or by the merchants as a great one on the Catholic. Or we might take it from the tack, as we have heard today in the readings, or we might take it from the tack of the virtues.
00:21:40:03 – 00:21:59:11
Unknown
You know, the Sisters of Mary, mother and the Eucharist have some awesome virtue resources which can help in that regard. But I think the idea is like a human life is a kind of thing. Insofar as it’s hard to pin down, it’s hard to make it stay put. But that’s good, because there’s more, you know, in life than is dreamt of in our philosophy.
00:21:59:11 – 00:22:26:21
Unknown
There’s more in our own minds and hearts than we are often able to encapsulate with, like an examination of conscience. So it’s good. Like, there’s no it’s not just like variety is the spice of life. Like diversity is a thing to be celebrated without really, like without any real distinction amongst kinds of diversity. I’m not saying that, but like if we are to take it on from different vantages, then we can come to a better appreciation of what’s at stake in the way that, like the evangelists, kind of took on Christ from different vantages to give us a better appreciation of what’s at stake.
00:22:26:21 – 00:22:51:20
Unknown
But the ultimate goal there is to profit from, like what’s revealed and then what’s mediated so that we can, you know, pursue salvation with, with greater fervor. I, I really I’m so grateful and appreciative that this is the, gospel that begins let, and part of that is because of just the reality that we see here.
00:22:51:22 – 00:23:14:05
Unknown
We know that Jesus Christ is God, and Jesus never sent, but he did experience temptations. And far too often, I think we look at the fact that we ourselves are tempted, and that’s a reflection of a state of mind. Oh, I’m being tempted to this because I’m a sinner. And I hear, yeah, that’s right. But the temptation isn’t the same.
00:23:14:07 – 00:23:53:00
Unknown
That’s not the set I hear in the confessional. Bless me, father president. I was tempted to do these things, but did you do that? Yeah. Like it’s not a sin to be tempted. And we actually see Jesus chart that path in that reality that we can endure temptations without sin. And there’s there’s a this is such a, a comforting reality to be put in front of us the very first week of to see Christ endure a temptation to see how he relies on Scripture in the words of God to comfort him, and to kind of boogie him up in the presence of an intense temptation.
00:23:53:02 – 00:24:31:07
Unknown
And so to for us, when we experience those temptations that we can look to Jesus or even make that prayer like to the tempted Lord to be with us in this moment. And so I just find that is it is a beautiful way, kind of setting the tone for what the season of lent will be and, and extension, what our life will be is the fact that we will be tempted, but just the sheer reality of the temptation does not reflect our sinfulness in any respect, but to take strength and to rely on the Lord himself, because he entered into the entirety of our human life, including being tempted in that we need
00:24:31:07 – 00:24:56:10
Unknown
not lose heart, or be discouraged in any sense when we seem to be besieged by, temptation of whatever kind it may be. Yeah. And his undergoing temptation is the source of our salvation. It’s like we we talked about the baptism. You know, at the end of the Christmas season. And it’s strange, Christmas need to be baptized on account of the fact that he has no original sin or personal, certainly stands in no need of grace, virtues, gifts of the Holy Spirit.
00:24:56:10 – 00:25:14:17
Unknown
He is already the natural Son of God and doesn’t need to be made an adopted Son of God. Like none of the effects of baptism which we receive, are communicated to him through the sacramentally of his washing. So like Saint Ambrose will say, he descends into the waters to cleanse the waters themselves, right? To impart to the waters there in Pasadena cleanse.

And I think you see something here with temptation in which two mysteries are associated or alive. So it’s like it’s not as if, like, you know, Christ is at risk of being lost in the maelstrom of temptation, but he enters into it so as to quell the storm, not just in itself, but in us, so as to for us to grace the virtues with which to contend, to strive manfully against those things which might otherwise overwhelm us if left to our own devices.

All right, so we’ve come to the end of our time. So Patrick made mention of Aquinas one and one that actually reminded me that during, the Lenten season, there are some special videos that if one is one on 1.com, so you can pop over there and sign up for the new online learning platform, which, I’m really impressed by website.

It takes something special, like a website. I was like, oh my gosh, this goes down. And then it goes over and it happens again. Incredible. For the Aquinas one on 1.com website is sweet and you’ll find all manner of cool courses there about the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Catholic teaching, more broadly speaking. So do check that out.
