1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
In the name of the glorious 
Trinity, Father and Son and Holy

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,440
Spirit forever. 
Amen. 

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,200
Glory be to the everlasting 
mercies which sent you to us, O 

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,880
Christ, the Light of the world 
and the life of all. 

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,960
Give us wisdom by your law and 
enlighten our impulses by your 

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,960
knowledge. 
Sanctify our souls by your 

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,800
truth, and grant that we may be 
obedient to your words and may 

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,800
fulfill your commandments at 
every hour. 

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,040
O you who enlightens the 
rationale with the knowledge of 

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,840
your greatness, do enlight, O my
Lord, our thoughts that we may 

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,200
meditate upon your holy and 
divine scriptures at all times. 

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,240
O Lord of all, Father and Son 
and Holy Spirit forever. 

13
00:00:42,160 --> 00:01:03,520
Amen. 
Ever felt like doing something 

14
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,520
or making a move and it seems 
difficult. 

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,440
You're always pushed down 
something like jumping into 

16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,480
water from heights. 
The reason I brought that as an 

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,720
example is I recall my Sydney 
brothers and sisters, Kenley Val

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
public swimming pools who used 
to go to those Kent, not 

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,200
Fairfield, Canley Vale public 
swimming pools. 

20
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,240
It had diving platforms. 
The first was a springboard, the

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,880
second was a platform, there was
a third one and there was a 

22
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,040
fourth platform. 
I'm not sure of the height now. 

23
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,480
I remember I used to attend that
pool and I recall one day my 

24
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,960
father attended the same pool 
and he said to me, you've been 

25
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,680
coming so long to these pools, 
like what do you do? 

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Do you just waste your time? 
Do you do laps? 

27
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,240
Have you jumped over these 
platforms? 

28
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800
I said yeah and and rightly so. 
I said, have you been on the top

29
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,360
one? 
I said no. 

30
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,480
He said well go up, go up and 
jump from the 4th platform. 

31
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,520
And it's the first time, Well, I
got up, It was scary. 

32
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,600
And that platform was closed 
because apparently a young boy 

33
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,080
had jumped off the platform on a
windy day and the wind had took 

34
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,680
him to the side and he landed on
the on the path or on the 

35
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,240
concrete. 
In any case, I did it. 

36
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:39,640
It took motivation. 
It took courage and most 

37
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:43,360
importantly, fear. 
And, you know, fear of what? 

38
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,480
Of whom, right? 
Yeah, my dad, if I had come down

39
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:55,720
from the platform using the 
stairs and not the dive, well, 

40
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,280
let's just leave it at that now.
I recall what made me go through

41
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,080
it to get the load of my dad's 
pressure of my back because I 

42
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,680
wouldn't have heard the end of 
it. 

43
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:15,960
So it's the same with when we 
are lacking in our relationship 

44
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:24,120
with God, we are lacking in our 
faith, our love, our obedience 

45
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,520
at times, be it scripture, 
reading prayers, fasting, church

46
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:38,280
attendance, or even returning to
God or repenting. 1 great 

47
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:44,840
example in the Holy Scriptures 
is the Prodigal Son, and this is

48
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,960
what our motivation should be 
like. 

49
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,360
This is what we need to do when 
we need to take the a dive or we

50
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,320
need to do something that is so 
crucial, so important. 

51
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,680
Now I'm talking about our 
relationship with God. 

52
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,920
What is lacking, what is lacking
with your relationship? 

53
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,960
You know and God knows. 
OK, so and I'm sure that the 

54
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Spirit that is within Christian 
brothers and sisters who have 

55
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,880
been put to death with Christ in
baptism have been brought to 

56
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,200
life and have received the Holy 
Spirit. 

57
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,160
The conviction is the Spirit, 
and I'm sure there is always 

58
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
conviction. 
There must be conviction. 

59
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Otherwise the Spirit is not just
flickering, it's not just 

60
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:35,760
dimmed. 
The Spirit may be completely you

61
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,480
know. 
Let let me let me lack of a 

62
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,840
better term switched off. 
The spirit is still there, but 

63
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,360
we're not attentive to the 
spirit. 

64
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:47,560
So this is a great motivation. 
What the prodigal son did 

65
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,320
remember he took everything and 
went and spoiled it. 

66
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,400
OK, Luke 1518 is what he says. 
I shall arise and go to my 

67
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:03,680
father. 
Nothing about if I go and I 

68
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,320
don't know. 
And before it was like this. 

69
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,360
No, no, no. 
When it came to his senses, this

70
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,800
is what he said. 
I shall arise and go to my 

71
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,720
father. 
He just did it. 

72
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,920
Yes, after realizing his 
grievous and difficult situation

73
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,280
and circumstances he had 
wilfully gotten himself into, 

74
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,400
but he got up and started his 
walk to the Father. 

75
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Now, Jesus taught this parable, 
and he sure sounds like to me 

76
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,480
that he's saying or giving us 
the message, the courage to just

77
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,360
do it. 
I had a brother who would say, 

78
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
when you don't feel like 
praying, just pray. 

79
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,520
That's all you need. 
You know when you keep putting 

80
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,120
off the days that you're going 
to start walking and you know, 

81
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,840
you know, try to get healthy and
lose weight or you know, mine 

82
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,200
always start on a Monday. 
So if a Monday is gone, that's 

83
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,400
it. 
All right, I'll start next 

84
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,680
Monday. 
Just do it. 

85
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,680
When you do it, you feel good 
and then you do it the next day 

86
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,960
and then you do it just becomes 
a an amazing again. 

87
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,240
Let's call it routine or a habit
but it's a fruitful 1 because 

88
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,360
you start seeing the results and
this is what Jesus is saying 

89
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,640
just do it. 
Are you struggling with a 

90
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,560
certain weakness? 
Are you struggling with a 

91
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,840
certain habit? 
Addiction. 

92
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:35,920
Desire. 
Sin. 

93
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,600
Abomination. 
Well, do what I did and these 

94
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440
are all burdens by the way these
are the burdens that Jesus is 

95
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,960
talking about. 
They weigh us down. 

96
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:55,120
Talk to any drug addict and ask 
that person to really search the

97
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,880
heart and speak from the bottom 
of his or her heart. 

98
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,200
They will confess that I don't 
like this lifestyle. 

99
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Talk to an alcoholic, addiction 
addict, alcohol addict, A 

100
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,720
gambler. 
Talk to any person that has an 

101
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,240
addiction that is truly messing 
up the life we're talking in the

102
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,760
world. 
That person will say I want to 

103
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,040
get rid of it. 
I just can't. 

104
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Well the scriptures are telling 
us through particle side. 

105
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Just do it. 
Get up. 

106
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,680
At least start making a move 
again. 

107
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,200
Are you struggling with a 
certain weakness? 

108
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,400
Habit, Addiction. 
Desire. 

109
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,680
Sin. 
Abomination. 

110
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:42,240
Well, do what I did to get the 
heavy laden off and find the 

111
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:48,000
peace and comfort and courage 
and you know what, Encouragement

112
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,520
and self satisfaction. 
Just do it because when you do 

113
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,800
this is the result. 
Just take that dive. 

114
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Do what the prodigal son did. 
Just get up. 

115
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,360
Make a move. 
Come to the Lord. 

116
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,280
The invitation is there in 
Matthew Chapter 11 verse 28. 

117
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,080
Come on to me. 
Jesus says all of you who are 

118
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,560
labour, who labour and are 
forced to bear burdens. 

119
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,080
What a beautiful translation. 
This is this from the Pshotta 

120
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,080
who are forced to bear burdens? 
Those who are the children of 

121
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,280
light. 
The conviction eats them. 

122
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,360
They don't want to do what 
they're doing, which is contrary

123
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,159
to the to the commandments and 
the desire of God and the 

124
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,679
appeasing of God. 
They are forced by the enemy. 

125
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Be be pressure and the world. 
Jesus says come to me, you who 

126
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,600
are forced to bear burdens your 
sins that have caused you to 

127
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,520
distant yourself. 
I'm there. 

128
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,440
The Father stood, the Father was
at home, the sun distant. 

129
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:06,160
I shall give you rest. 
Stop making these silly, 

130
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,560
baseless excuses and tell me 
that it is easier said than 

131
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:16,640
done, Robbie, when speaking 
about coming to God and 

132
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,320
repenting. 
Well, it may be true, yes, 

133
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,920
easier spoken than done, but I 
will say it is absolutely 

134
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,400
crucial to do it rather than 
merely just saying it. 

135
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,400
It is crucial now. 
What gave the Son the courage? 

136
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:45,040
What gave the Son the assurance?
The hope to get up and go is 

137
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,840
revealed in the verses prior to 
his decision. 

138
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,160
Let's read it. 
Verse 17, Luke 15. 

139
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:59,760
And when he came to himself, 
realizing, admitting not in 

140
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,560
denial admission, realizing 
being real, being realistic, he 

141
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:08,680
came to himself. 
And he said, Now how many high 

142
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:13,040
servants are in my father's 
house who have plenteous, 

143
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,840
abundant bread for themselves? 
And here I am dying with hunger.

144
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,520
What is this bread? 
What can we liken this bread to,

145
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,280
beloved? 
That bread is the plentiful of 

146
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,760
God's grace, mercies and 
compassion. 

147
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Say to yourself how wealthy and 
how rich he is, my Heavenly 

148
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,440
Father, through his Son, Jesus 
Christ, in grace, mercies, and 

149
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,360
compassion, over and above and 
beyond my burdens. 

150
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,040
And that should drive it. 
That should give you some 

151
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:59,640
courage to just get up and to go
to your Father when he came to 

152
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,840
himself, this prodigal Son. 
And I pray that you are now 

153
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:12,360
starting to come to yourself. 
I pray that this message is not 

154
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,080
just an A number in the episode 
lists. 

155
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,960
I pray that you sharing these 
episodes and God bless you, 

156
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,720
Thank you. 
And we we, you know this is a 

157
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,880
way that you are also spreading 
the word. 

158
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,440
You know, in our frailty, our 
humility, in my unworthiness, 

159
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:34,120
I'm not worthy. 
In my most foolishness, I dare 

160
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,800
to preach these words and to 
speak these words and thank you 

161
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,360
for sharing them. 
But it's got to be beyond that, 

162
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,000
beloved. 
And I pray that these messages 

163
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,360
can help you to come to 
realization all of us, to come 

164
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,680
to a realization, examine 
ourselves, and see where we are 

165
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,840
with God. 
So when the prodigal son come 

166
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:04,280
came to himself, the one thing 
that we see he did was he broke 

167
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:14,120
his pride, his haughtiness. 
He developed his circumstance, 

168
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:20,720
developed a broken heart, a 
contrite spirit, a humble 

169
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,840
spirit, and that is all he could
offer his father. 

170
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:33,520
He didn't say I'm going to work 
tirelessly and regain some of my

171
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,240
father's wealth, regardless of 
what it takes. 

172
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,880
No, no, no. 
He came to the Father with what 

173
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,680
he had, which was nothing. 
Filth. 

174
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,840
That's all he had. 
But he had that amazing gift, 

175
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:57,560
that Pearl that appeases God, 
the contrite, humble spirit, 

176
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,520
broken heart. 
He didn't have money. 

177
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,320
As I said, he didn't have faint.
He didn't have strength. 

178
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,000
He didn't even have dignity. 
He was at the lowest. 

179
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,200
Yet the Father accepted him with
open arms. 

180
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,560
So if you're going to sit now 
here and you're going to tell 

181
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,720
me, but is God going to? 
Yes, yes. 

182
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:27,160
God will receive you, wake up 
and understand and accept it and

183
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:32,360
believe that the Lord will 
receive you regardless of who 

184
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,640
you are, what you are, where you
are, what mess you have gotten 

185
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,920
yourself into. 
Because that's why Jesus gave us

186
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,600
the prodigal Son, the parallel 
of the Prodigal Son. 

187
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880
The Father accepted him with 
open arms. 

188
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,800
He preceded him in their 
encounter. 

189
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,160
Saint James writes, Draw need to
God, and God will draw need to 

190
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,600
you. 
And I've always said this, and I

191
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,120
have to give this disclaimer. 
I will dare to change the word 

192
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,000
of the Scriptures, but only for 
God to be glorified and for us 

193
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,200
to receive that encouragement, 
Insurance, draw need to God, and

194
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,920
God will run out to you as the 
Father did. 

195
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,440
This is what gave the Son the 
courage, the assurance, the 

196
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,800
hope, and we should take courage
of what the Father, that is God,

197
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,440
did when he saw His Son return. 
This is waiting for us, beloved.

198
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:36,160
This encounter, this embrace, 
this acceptance and reception, 

199
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,680
is awaiting every person that is
living on this earth, be it a 

200
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Christian or a non Christian. 
When an unfaithful friend comes 

201
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,200
to God, God opens his arms for 
them, yet He directs them to His

202
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,720
Son. 
When those who have already been

203
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,320
directed to the Son and received
all the gifts from the Son of 

204
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,480
the Holy Spirit, yet they go 
away and misuse them one more 

205
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,960
time, God is still waiting with 
open arms. 

206
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,000
The Father saw him, the 
scripture writes, and he was 

207
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:19,040
moved with compassion. 
Kanana Kan compassion for him. 

208
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,840
And he ran and fell on his neck 
and he kissed him. 

209
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,440
Now let me read to you the 
commentaries of Marishudad, of 

210
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,840
Merv. 
Look at what he writes. 

211
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,160
You know, I've been reading this
verse. 

212
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Kissed him, I'm thinking. 
Yeah, kissing him on his 

213
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,400
forehead, maybe on his cheeks. 
But look at what the Father's 

214
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,160
right now. 
He kisses even those polluted 

215
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:52,160
lips of his. 
See, when we come to take the 

216
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:58,080
Holy Eucharist, beloved, it's as
as though Jesus is we receive a 

217
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,680
kiss on the mouth to cleanse us,
beginning with our mouth. 

218
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,400
Now He writes, He kisses even 
those polluted lips of His with 

219
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:17,480
which he had scoffed at sonship,
not loathing the swinish odour, 

220
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:24,480
the stench, the the hempa, the 
filth, filthy odour that was 

221
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,520
pouring out from Him. 
He didn't. 

222
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,720
He did. 
This did not deter the Father, 

223
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,160
nor the dryness of his body. 
He was on a farm. 

224
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,760
He was with pigs. 
He was eating pig poo. 

225
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,120
He was eating pig pots. 
You can, you could imagine, just

226
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,760
imagine. 
And I hope you're not eating, 

227
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:50,280
And if you are great, the 
breath, his bad breath, his 

228
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,440
hair, all you know, dried up 
because he was in the farm. 

229
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,040
He was, He was, he was living in
the in the pig pen. 

230
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,960
That one is called pig pen. 
Steven. 

231
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,760
Yeah, I think Pig Pen, Pen, Pen.
Yeah. 

232
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,079
See, the father did not loathe 
the swanish order, nor the 

233
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:15,400
dryness of his body, which was 
hardened and petrified in 

234
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,560
coldness and heat. 
And then he goes on to say 

235
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,000
Marisha, that owe the depth of 
mercy and the abyss of the love 

236
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,839
of the Father, the world towards
us sinners. 

237
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,120
This is the God we have beloved.
This is the Jesus Christ we 

238
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,680
have. 
Why do we deprive ourselves from

239
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:42,600
coming to this Christ the you 
know regardless, again don't 

240
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,160
ever say to yourself, because 
this is Satan. 

241
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,800
Who me? 
Yes, you. 

242
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,840
So just tell yourself now I will
get up and go. 

243
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,800
Go to the Father. 
Go to his house. 

244
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,600
Where is his house? 
That is the church where you'll 

245
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:04,280
be graced with a new garment. 
Again, Marie should add comments

246
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,320
on this with a new garment which
is perfect clemency, mercy and 

247
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:16,840
forgiveness, and the renewed or 
the renewal of the garment of 

248
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,920
adoption you received in Holy 
Baptism. 

249
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,240
When we are baptized, we are 
adopted, and when we when we 

250
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:30,360
come back and repent, we that 
garment of of grace and mercy, 

251
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:34,360
and forgiveness and adoption of 
sonship, is renewed one more 

252
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:40,000
time that that we received in 
Holy Baptism, which bestowed and

253
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:47,080
confirmed our spiritual sonship.
In the Church you will be given 

254
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,760
the ring, that is the 
restoration of authority and the

255
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:54,560
airship of all gifts. 
We are heirs of all the gifts of

256
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,200
God and Co heirs with Jesus 
Christ, Saint Paul writes the 

257
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,920
shoes, that is the grace of the 
Spirit, and the promptitude, the

258
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:09,560
briskness, the drive, the desire
that hastens us to the 

259
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,160
cultivation, the development of 
holiness and the Evangelical 

260
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,080
work. 
All by just getting up and 

261
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,600
saying, here I am. 
I am not worthy, Lord, I am a 

262
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,160
dreadful stench, but I am coming
to you. 

263
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:33,040
No sacrifice needed, but a 
contrite spirit as opposed to a 

264
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:38,400
haughty 1A broken heart and a 
broken spirit. 

265
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,400
Why does God desire and he's 
appeased with a contrite, that 

266
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:52,080
is a remorseful, A repentant, a 
humble, a conceited spirit, as 

267
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,880
opposed to a haughty 1A prideful
one? 

268
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,000
It's because a contrite spirit 
submits completely to the 

269
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,320
perfect will, the abundant 
grace, mercies and compassion of

270
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,040
God. 
But the haughty, the proud 

271
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,720
spirit leans on its own 
understanding and knowledge and 

272
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,640
even. 
Ignorance. 

273
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,440
This is the sacrifice that is 
recommended in the holy 

274
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,040
scriptures, beloved amongst many
other sacrifices. 

275
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,520
This is the sacrifice of the 
sacrifices which we read in 

276
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:34,720
Psalm chapter 51 verse 17. 
The sacrifices of God are a 

277
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:41,360
humble spirit, a contrite 
spirit, a conceded spirit, one 

278
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,840
that is totally in reliance to 
the grace and mercy and 

279
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,000
compassion of God, that broken 
heart. 

280
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:57,200
And the scripture goes on to say
that God does not reject a 

281
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,720
broken heart. 
Get up, get up, and go to your 

282
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,760
Father. 
Praise and glory be to his holy 

283
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,360
name, now and at all times and 
forever. 

284
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:29,320
Amen.
