The greatest Commandment that 14 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:14,100 Jesus has given us is the Commandment of love. 15 00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,800 I new commandment. I give you is that you love one. 16 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,800 Another love today. Love has many colors. 17 00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:29,900 I'm sorry to say from pornographic to fake. 18 00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:34,700 Being fake when we hear the word love. 19 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,300 We immediately, you know, consider charity, which is 20 00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,500 great. We consider helping one another. 21 00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:46,900 I mean, that's great. The love between a boyfriend and 22 00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:53,900 a girlfriend when a boy and a girl are going steady, the girl 23 00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:58,900 must prove her love by giving the boy everything. 24 00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:03,000 You know what I'm talking about? And vice versa and when you love 25 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,700 someone, you need to have a sexual relationship with that. 26 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,600 Person. And by the way, let me tell you 27 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,900 something. Just because you love someone 28 00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:12,700 and you have a sexual relationship outside of marriage 29 00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:18,900 that is still fornication. Love doesn't bind a husband and 30 00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:23,600 wife, no, the church binds, the husband and wife through the 31 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,900 prayers and the holy matrimony so the kind of love that Jesus 32 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:35,800 Has commanded us to, to show one another, the pure and genuine 33 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,300 Love Is defined in the Epistle of Love of st. 34 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:46,000 Paul, the Apostle, 1 Corinthians 13, although I always say the 35 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,800 love, the 1 Corinthians, 13 love. 36 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,600 We're going to have a look at that but I'm going to just take 37 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,900 among I'm going to only take one characteristics of Love. 38 00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:58,400 Deadpool is talking about and that is patient. 39 00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:02,200 The love that Jesus. Has commanded us to share with 40 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,300 one with each other. Is a patient and sweet, pleasant 41 00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:14,000 kind Love, Not A Love. That involves giving not a love 42 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,100 that. That has to be proven by giving, 43 00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:22,300 no patience, sweet pleasant and kind up. 44 00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,900 We talked about patients in the last episode. 45 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:32,400 Another word used for patients is long-suffering When a mother 46 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,600 is being patient with a child because the child is involved in 47 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,800 drugs, and is in and out of jail. 48 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,000 And he's, you know, always having a brush with the law and 49 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,100 crime. What have you? 50 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,000 The mother is suffering. I mean, she's being patient. 51 00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:54,200 But patient, also Intel's long-suffering which is what st. 52 00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:00,100 John chrysostom puts it as the root of all self-denial. 53 00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:05,500 So So loved that he self-denial. Sweet pleasant and kind is what 54 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:08,800 we need to portray one. Another, that is what we need to 55 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,900 possess beard, in marriage, in relationships, in families, in 56 00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:16,500 friends, in relatives, and what have you and our neighbor. 57 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,800 Let's not forget, Jesus gave us a parable of the Good Samaritan. 58 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Who is my neighbor. Anyone who is in need Proverbs 59 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,800 Chapter 14 verse 29. Claims a man that is 60 00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,900 long-suffering that his patient is of great understanding. 61 00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:42,100 But that, or he, who is Hasty of spirit is mildly, foolish. 62 00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:48,200 Proverbs 13 verse 32. He that his patient is better 63 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,700 than a mighty men and he that subdudes himself. 64 00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:58,000 Then he that seizes a City Saint John chrysostom rides on 65 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,900 long-suffering or patients that they are unbeatable. 66 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:06,600 Weapons and are sort of impenetrable Towers easily 67 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,600 beating off all annoyances. Jesus Christ. 68 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,300 We saw these in Jesus Christ, the scorning the ridiculed, the 69 00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:20,900 refusal, the rejection, the resistance, the evil that was 70 00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:25,100 wrought on him yet. He was not penetrated at all. 71 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,800 Why? Because he was patient and he 72 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,300 was long-suffering, you may say yeah, Robbie, you're talking 73 00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:34,100 about God incarnate, we're not. Yes, I am talking about God 74 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:38,100 incarnate. I'm but we too, we too have been 75 00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:43,500 promised by God incarnate that, if we suffer with him, we will 76 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,200 reign with him. Suffering means long-suffering 77 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,500 being patient. Beloved, this is the quality of 78 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:50,700 love that. We need to possess. 79 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,900 This is the love that we need to possess and this is the love 80 00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:56,500 that st. Paul talks about in Corinthians 81 00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:59,300 chapter 1, verse First Corinthians chapter 13. 82 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,200 So John chrysostom goes on to say and as a spark falling into 83 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,600 the deep, Deep does no injury. Now when a spark Falls in a deep 84 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,500 nothing happens but it itself. Easily is quenched the spark 85 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:18,100 just goes out, so upon a long-suffering Soul, whatever 86 00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:24,100 unexpected thing Falls, this Soul indeed speedily vanishes or 87 00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:29,100 the unexpected things vanish, but the soul is Disturbed, but 88 00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:33,700 nothing happens to the soul. The person is not is not moved 89 00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:36,500 at all. Truly there is nothing so 90 00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:42,000 impenetrable as long-suffering with your patient whatever comes 91 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,900 upon you and and you know again the quality of patients that 92 00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:49,000 Jesus possess not what the world put trays. 93 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:52,300 You know I'll give you once twice third time you know but 94 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:58,600 you know what is it? Beat me once fool me once and 95 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,100 fool me twice. No not not what what is it? 96 00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,700 George Bush Club. No no being patient. 97 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,800 Constantly being patient. Long-suffering for someone, 98 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,800 anything that comes Upon Us, Saint John chrysostom, he's 99 00:07:10,808 --> 00:07:14,300 teaching his that they won't affect us maybe for a short 100 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:18,200 period of time but we learn to overcome and just as Jesus did 101 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,700 second Peter 3:9, the Lord God does not delay his promises. 102 00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:26,800 See there's the promise as people consider delay but he is 103 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,400 patient for your sake. Think about it beloved brother 104 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,700 and sister. In one day. 105 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,500 No, not even a date in an hour. In a period of one hour. 106 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,000 How many times do we grieve? The holy spirit of God. 107 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,400 How many times? And you do we see Farm 108 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,400 Brimstone, come down on this novel? 109 00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:54,700 How many times have we have? We sinned to the point where we 110 00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:58,200 are ashamed to face our Lord. But we still hear the voice of 111 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,500 God. Telling us to come. 112 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,600 I'm patient with you. Um, repent. 113 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,500 I will receive you one more time, repent and sin. 114 00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:08,800 No more. So, the Lord God does not delay 115 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,700 his promises as people consider delay, but he is patient for 116 00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:16,100 your sake. Even when we grieve His Holy 117 00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:19,500 Spirit and because he is not willing that any person would 118 00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,700 perish, but that every person would come to conversion. 119 00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:26,000 That is repentance, that is, that should drive us to 120 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,200 long-suffering that the person that is in wrong is, in error, 121 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,900 is in evil, is in sin, that we must be long per patient and 122 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:38,100 long-suffering. So that that person is converted 123 00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,799 comes to repentance. And sometimes the best thing you 124 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,300 do during being patient is to pray. 125 00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:47,700 And too fast for that situation for that circumstance for that 126 00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:50,600 person. That is why our love should be 127 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,300 long suffering for the sake of the repentance or eventually a 128 00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:58,800 new life in Jesus Christ for others and ultimately salvation 129 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,900 for Eternal condemnation. Beloved, if a person is living 130 00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:08,400 in sin, we see in the prayers of the Liturgy of the burial of the 131 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,700 Dead that the judge will not forgive the soul that has not 132 00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:16,300 repented. We Say this, we sing this. 133 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,000 And I must preach this. I must not sing this and say it 134 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,100 and then get on the pulpit and say well no God is merciful to 135 00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:26,600 forgive everyone. Yes. 136 00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:31,300 Yes, right now he is patient with us as long as we are living 137 00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:35,400 on this Earth but when the Lord returns, when the Heavenly 138 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,900 bridegroom returns and the and the five for the 10 oz of the 139 00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:42,600 five foolish virgins didn't have oil. 140 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,700 What did Jesus say what did the bridegroom say? 141 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,900 I do not know you they knocked on their door. 142 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,100 Or of the banquet and said, have mercy on us. 143 00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:53,700 Let us see. Any said, I do not know you. 144 00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:57,400 So that is why we must be long suffering for all the, for the 145 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,500 friend, the brother, the best frame, I go from my husband, my 146 00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:05,700 wife, whoever it is my neighbor, because if they continue to Live 147 00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:12,100 and Die, unrepented in sin, they will not enter the Kingdom of 148 00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:13,400 Heaven. There is no salvation. 149 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,700 So let's be patient with those long suffering. 150 00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,700 For those that are An error so that we can bring them to the 151 00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:22,500 knowledge of the truth, new life with Jesus Christ. 152 00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:25,000 And as I said, ultimately salvation from Eternal 153 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,100 condemnation. So John chrysostom continues to 154 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:32,200 ride. You may talk of armies. 155 00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:37,400 Money horses, walls, arms or anything else whatsoever, you 156 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,200 will name nothing like long-suffering, it is the 157 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,400 greatest charity. It is the greatest gift. 158 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,400 The greatest help assistance that you can give a person who 159 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,200 is in error, who has wronged you, whatever that you must be 160 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400 long suffering and being patient with it. 161 00:10:56,500 --> 00:11:00,400 Person that is the type of, when you say to someone, I love you, 162 00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:04,200 meaning, whatever it takes from me. 163 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,400 I am prepared to give to continue to remain with this 164 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,400 love that I have for you. You know, many people say to me 165 00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:19,000 so father when someone is called a core, sorry someone is caught 166 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,800 in adultery. So you know, definitely divorce 167 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,600 is warranted, right? The husband or the wife yet they 168 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,800 have the right to I see, of course they do according to the 169 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,400 holy scriptures of course. But hey, how many times, how 170 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,100 many times do we commit spiritual adultery? 171 00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:41,700 I mean, times that we worship that, which is not God. 172 00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:46,000 How many times do we give more love for our social media? 173 00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:51,500 Our image right? Then love for Jesus Christ. 174 00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:54,700 How many times that's that spiritual adultery but Jesus 175 00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,700 keeps taking his back, so the husband can be long-suffering 176 00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:04,800 and be patient so that he can save that relationship that 177 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,300 marriage. We could not only because of the 178 00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:08,600 children, God will take care of the children. 179 00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:11,600 All children suffer more in broken marriages. 180 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,700 Yes, they do.

Well, that's wickedness. 190 00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:50,900 That's not what the Bible says. That's not what Jesus was 191 00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:52,700 saying. Paul is instructing us. 192 00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:55,500 No, not wickedness. Beloved but rather as Oregon of 193 00:12:55,500 --> 00:13:01,000 Alexandria rights for the benefit of our enemy, he writes 194 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,600 for it may be that a Savage and barbarous mind. 195 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,100 If it the Mind feels our Goodwill, our kindness, our love 196 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,600 and our godliness. Maybe struck by it and repent 197 00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:21,700 and he will swear that as he's conscience torments him for the 198 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:26,000 wrong, which he has done. It is as if a fire were 199 00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:32,700 enveloping or persisting him. So we can put people, we can 200 00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:37,900 encourage people, we can instill the fire, and the Zeal, and a 201 00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,600 desire in those people whom we show patience and love. 202 00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:46,100 That they may come back to repentance and to reconciliation 203 00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:51,300 with us if we are, you know, not at odds with one another if they 204 00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:55,500 are doing us wrong. So patience is the weapon to 205 00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,900 Heap these coal, because what did st. 206 00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:00,300 Paul say, love your enemies, feed them. 207 00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:03,100 If they're hungry, feed them.
