{"task": "transcribe", "language": "english", "duration": 883.5599975585938, "text": "The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John. As the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as their money changers, seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area with the sheep and the oxen and spilled the coins of their money changers and overturned their tables. And to those who sold doves, he said, take these out of here and stop making my father's house a marketplace. His disciples recalled the words of Scripture, zeal for your house will consume me. At this, the Jews answered and said to him, what sign can you show us for doing this? Jesus answered and said to them, destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. The Jews said, this temple has been under construction for 46 years and you will raise it up in three days. But he was speaking about the temple of his body. Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this and they came to believe the scriptures and the words Jesus had spoken. While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, many began to believe in his name when they saw the signs he was doing. But Jesus would not trust himself to them because he knew them all and he did not need anyone to testify about human nature. He himself understood it well. The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. So take a breath. Be calm. I have to tell you something. There are no Ten Commandments. There's probably about 12 or 13 of them jammed in there. And different churches, it's kind of funny, I don't think people know this, but if you go to a Catholic encyclopedia and you look up the Ten Commandments that will number them one through ten, and then if you go to another church, the Lutheran maybe, and you look up the Ten Commandments, you'll see the same ten, but like maybe two and three are combined into one and these two are stretched out into two. And so, you know, when someone who I don't know if they just don't want to say what they've done or what, but when someone comes into a confessional every once in a while, someone will come in and say, I sinned against the Sixth Commandment. I always want to go, Catholic or Protestant? Which numbering system? So we came up with this idea. I don't, I'm not quite sure why the idea of ten, whether it was, you know, you could count to ten without having to use your neighbor's hand. I don't know, but we came to ten, and when you look at them, they kind of, some of them go on for a while and others are just very short, and there's no literary hint. They weren't using bold font or bullet points yet, so there's no literary hint. So when we talk about them, it's kind of difficult when people start saying, well, now, which commandment is that? So there are longer lists in Deuteronomy and numbers, but this is kind of the one that we all talk about when we say the Ten Commandments, and it's got some problems that we have to figure out, and I think what we should do above all of them is grasp the first one. If we can get to the first one, we're in great shape, which is, you know, we worship God, period, nothing else. Just God, don't have any other gods, and of course, depending on the era that you hear the preaching come out of, they'll talk about, well, you know, a lot of people worship instead of God, and they'll throw out whatever the sin is of the day. Money has been, for a long time, people have said money, but it's not really money. People just sort of worship power, having their own power, and money may be a sign of that for some people. But this is a really tough, Peter had to do it today, but at every one of these masses, someone has to get up and says, you shall not carve idols for yourself in the shape of anything, and they kind of have to stand about two feet in front of that cross while they say it. You shall not carve any idols, and hide it, you know. We do, so how do we handle that? Because we understand what the real underlying law is, which is, the reason they weren't to carve idols is because they had this habit of really worshiping them, and there are some people who still do that. They, you know, they still think that there is a magic in the artifact itself, that there's somehow it's a talisman, it's a, no, it's an image that points us to God. It's got to point us to God. Even for many people, they worship Scripture, and it can be very devastating because they kind of cherry pick their way through to get what they want, but normally, when people put Scripture above God, you know, they have this sense that we've all been taught God is loving and God is kind, and when it's time to get mad at someone, they won't say, well, you know, God's love fails. When they've decided someone's a sinner or someone's not worthy or, they always, you'll hear the phrase, well, it says in the Bible, they're worshiping the Bible instead of God. It's really a precarious path to not let other things replace God, and the reason for that is because God is too big. We can't get our mind around God, so we have to choose and settle on smaller images to get our mind in the right direction. We just can't confuse those images with the actuality of God, and it is, you know, it is a much subtler and more difficult thing than most of us really want to deal with on a daily basis. It's easier just to talk to an imaginary white man on a cloud in my head. It's just easier, but, and there's nothing wrong with that until he starts to sound a little bit too much like me, until, you know, it starts to justify the way I see the world and, quite frankly, condemns most of you, you know, until, it's just, it's a more dangerous approach because the smaller our vision of God, the more easily we start to control it. One of the first kind of modern scripture scholars in the church, a man by the last name Schweitzer, wrote that his famous line was, God created humanity in his own image and humanity's been creating God in theirs ever since. That it's just too easy to try and make a human person, a person out of God, rather than we use the word person to point beyond. So, with that sense, we look at this, Jesus cleansing the temple. It's a very difficult scripture, and people will say, well, you know, you don't get too loose with the interpretation. This is what it says, and for most people, they would say, you know, I don't know, set up a 50-foot perimeter around the church and don't let anyone sell anything, and you're good to go. That's a very small reading of the scripture, and as a matter of fact, if you want to be that literal, all it really says is, don't sell livestock. It's so funny that everyone's like, you can't sell Girl Scout cookies. Do not mess with the Girl Scout cookies. You know, no, and it's interesting. After it talks about all these various things, the gospel writer goes back and points out again, he specially goes up to the ones selling doves, and what we don't see. They're selling the sacrifices that people had to make when they came into the temple. They're selling entrance into the temple. They're selling entrance into the experience of God. People believed that they couldn't experience God outside the temple, and you've got some very unscrupulous people trying to make a buck off people so you can't come into church until you've paid your dues. You know, and literally, there are writers who will tell you it got so mobbed up by the time of Jesus that you would come and you would have your sacrifice, and the temple guard would say, you know, I'm pretty sure that is blemished. I don't think that's acceptable, but my cousin Vinny over here is selling some lovely unblemished doves, and it was really a racket, and so this is not an edict that says there's something wrong with buying or selling, or that somehow buying and selling in our lives, you know, buying groceries is somehow a horribly unsacred act or something. Not at all. What it's saying is don't try to control and profit from that control about people's access to God. You don't control their access to God, and you certainly don't try to profit by controlling other people's access to God. It is, I would actually say it is the only sin that habitually sends Jesus over the edge in the Gospels. When he's screaming you viper's brood, he's talking about people who have put a whole bunch of, you know, regulations on who can come to the temple and who can't come to the temple, and who is appropriate and who isn't, and those are always the people he blows up at, and I think the reason is because some people, especially with faith, but it happens in culture, it happens in families, it happens in countries, it happens all over the place. Usually, an over-focused sort of energy around the border usually means you've lost the heart, that we don't define our faith from knowing where the center is, so instead we just make sure we've got a fence around it. There's a difference between knowing where the center of your faith is. It's not about where's the fence you don't cross, it's knowing the center, and that brings us back to it's gotta be God, it can't be other things, and if it is, if you make God into something smaller, you'll center your faith in all sorts of odd places, and then we don't know how to be a community because our centers are different. We can all have our own sense of where the boundaries are. Everyone does have their own sense of boundaries. I know people with no boundaries at all. I call them family. But our center, and I think many of us don't always stop to think that it's not knowing, because we like to talk about what's the non-negotiable? There's the line, you don't cross the line, and Paul talks about not drawing those lines in the sand, but knowing where your center is, and so as we continue Lent, as we, you know, this is where Lent is not, you know, Lent becomes this sort of, you drop away things that aren't so necessary. I always think that people think that Lent should be a tough journey. I think well done, Lent should be the most easily uplifting season of the year, because what happens if you do it right is, whatever you give up, for people who give something up instead of doing something extra, if you give something up, the hope is, you start to realize about three weeks down the road, I'm not less happy. I'm not worse off. All those things I thought I needed, I don't, and there's this freedom that comes with that, and we start to get rid of the clutter on the fringes and find our center, and find what is important, you know, not as a line we don't cross, but as a center that is our core, and so we ask God to help us to get rid of the distractions, get rid of things that pull our focus into the periphery all the time. You know, all the arguments, I find myself now much more focused if I don't turn on the news. You know, it's just, it's back and forth and the same stuff all the time, and I'm like, what happens when we find our center? If our center is the God that we know we will spend our life moving towards, spend our life trying to understand, but we'll never spend our life, we'll never get our mind around God. You know, out of that, I think, really comes this humility that Jesus talks so much about, the humility that we worship a God that we cannot completely understand, and anyone, you know, there was a, I can't remember who it was, it might have been, I'm gonna get through the wrong name, so I won't give you anyone, but used to battle with Thomas Aquinas all the time. Thomas Aquinas was a brilliant academic, and the lines that you always read, he's always saying, oh, Thomas, you're so busy explaining the unexplainable. You know, you're always so busy trying to articulate the mystery, and his point was, it's brilliant, and it's wonderful to delve in and say, I think I understand more than I did yesterday, but I'll never get closer to infinite. I'll always have more to learn, and there's a humility there, and so we ask God today to make us a people who are more aware of our center, that we get back to who we are, that we get a sense of where is God, what is love, what is caring, what is compassion, what are the core values we are called to? Not what are the borders that we think they're not called to, but what are our core values? Because if we lose our core, the perimeter will mean nothing.", "segments": [{"id": 0, "seek": 0, "start": 0.0, "end": 1.0, "text": " The Lord be with you.", "tokens": [50364, 440, 3257, 312, 365,

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000
The Lord be with you.

00:00:01.100 --> 00:00:02.599
And with your spirit.

00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:04.840
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John.

00:00:08.939 --> 00:00:11.739
As the Passover of the Jews was near,

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:13.140
Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

00:00:13.239 --> 00:00:15.640
He found in the temple area those

00:00:15.739 --> 00:00:18.680
who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as their money

00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:21.059
changers, seated there.

00:00:21.159 --> 00:00:23.459
He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out

00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:25.459
of the temple area with the sheep and the oxen

00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:27.860
and spilled the coins of their money changers

00:00:27.959 --> 00:00:29.959
and overturned their tables.

00:00:30.059 --> 00:00:33.520
And to those who sold doves, he said, take these out of here

00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:37.400
and stop making my father's house a marketplace.

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:41.099
His disciples recalled the words of Scripture,

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.680
zeal for your house will consume me.

00:00:44.779 --> 00:00:47.240
At this, the Jews answered and said to him, what sign can

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.740
you show us for doing this?

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.319
Jesus answered and said to them, destroy this temple

00:00:52.419 --> 00:00:55.319
and in three days I will raise it up.

00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.840
The Jews said, this temple has been under construction

00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:02.020
for 46 years and you will raise it up in three days.

00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.720
But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

00:01:04.819 --> 00:01:06.660
Therefore, when he was raised from the dead,

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.519
his disciples remembered that he had said this

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:11.919
and they came to believe the scriptures and the words

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:14.559
Jesus had spoken.

00:01:14.660 --> 00:01:17.360
While he was in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,

00:01:17.459 --> 00:01:19.760
many began to believe in his name

00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:22.139
when they saw the signs he was doing.

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.099
But Jesus would not trust himself to them

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:26.319
because he knew them all and he did not

00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:29.319
need anyone to testify about human nature.

00:01:29.419 --> 00:01:32.800
He himself understood it well.

00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:34.500
The gospel of the Lord.

00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.500
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.639
So take a breath.

00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:50.739
Be calm.

00:01:50.839 --> 00:01:53.279
I have to tell you something.

00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:56.900
There are no Ten Commandments.

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.080
There's probably about 12 or 13 of them jammed in there.

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:03.279
And different churches, it's kind of funny,

00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:04.440
I don't think people know this,

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:07.319
but if you go to a Catholic encyclopedia

00:02:07.419 --> 00:02:08.740
and you look up the Ten Commandments

00:02:08.839 --> 00:02:10.339
that will number them one through ten,

00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:12.320
and then if you go to another church,

00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:14.380
the Lutheran maybe, and you look up the Ten Commandments,

00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.860
you'll see the same ten, but like maybe two and three

00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.820
are combined into one and these two

00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.559
are stretched out into two.

00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.179
And so, you know, when someone who I don't know

00:02:24.279 --> 00:02:26.179
if they just don't want to say what they've done or what,

00:02:26.279 --> 00:02:27.779
but when someone comes into a confessional

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:29.880
every once in a while, someone will come in and say,

00:02:29.979 --> 00:02:32.820
I sinned against the Sixth Commandment.

00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.559
I always want to go, Catholic or Protestant?

00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:38.460
Which numbering system?

00:02:38.559 --> 00:02:40.960
So we came up with this idea.

00:02:41.059 --> 00:02:46.039
I don't, I'm not quite sure why the idea of ten,

00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:49.699
whether it was, you know, you could count to ten

00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:51.639
without having to use your neighbor's hand.

00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:54.080
I don't know, but we came to ten,

00:02:54.179 --> 00:02:55.979
and when you look at them, they kind of,

00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.520
some of them go on for a while

00:02:57.619 --> 00:02:59.279
and others are just very short,

00:02:59.380 --> 00:03:03.619
and there's no literary hint.

00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:06.919
They weren't using bold font or bullet points yet,

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:09.000
so there's no literary hint.

00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:12.500
So when we talk about them, it's kind of difficult

00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:13.460
when people start saying,

00:03:13.559 --> 00:03:15.440
well, now, which commandment is that?

00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:19.399
So there are longer lists in Deuteronomy and numbers,

00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:22.199
but this is kind of the one that we all talk about

00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:24.000
when we say the Ten Commandments,

00:03:24.100 --> 00:03:29.020
and it's got some problems that we have to figure out,

00:03:29.119 --> 00:03:31.979
and I think what we should do above all of them

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.919
is grasp the first one.

00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:37.020
If we can get to the first one, we're in great shape,

00:03:37.119 --> 00:03:41.860
which is, you know, we worship God, period, nothing else.

00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.220
Just God, don't have any other gods,

00:03:44.320 --> 00:03:46.660
and of course, depending on the era

00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.399
that you hear the preaching come out of,

00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:49.559
they'll talk about, well, you know,

00:03:49.660 --> 00:03:51.600
a lot of people worship instead of God,

00:03:51.699 --> 00:03:54.399
and they'll throw out whatever the sin is of the day.

00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:57.399
Money has been, for a long time, people have said money,

00:03:57.500 --> 00:03:59.279
but it's not really money.

00:03:59.380 --> 00:04:01.880
People just sort of worship power,

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:02.919
having their own power,

00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:07.419
and money may be a sign of that for some people.

00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:12.080
But this is a really tough, Peter had to do it today,

00:04:12.179 --> 00:04:14.320
but at every one of these masses,

00:04:14.419 --> 00:04:18.059
someone has to get up and says,

00:04:18.119 --> 00:04:20.619
you shall not carve idols for yourself

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.859
in the shape of anything,

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.959
and they kind of have to stand about two feet

00:04:24.059 --> 00:04:26.899
in front of that cross while they say it.

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.500
You shall not carve any idols, and hide it, you know.

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.799
We do, so how do we handle that?

00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:39.880
Because we understand what the real underlying law is,

00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:43.079
which is, the reason they weren't to carve idols

00:04:43.179 --> 00:04:46.820
is because they had this habit of really worshiping them,

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:49.679
and there are some people who still do that.

00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:53.019
They, you know, they still think that there is a magic

00:04:53.119 --> 00:04:55.920
in the artifact itself,

00:04:56.019 --> 00:04:58.899
that there's somehow it's a talisman, it's a,

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.420
no, it's an image that points us to God.

00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.359
It's got to point us to God.

00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:06.660
Even for many people, they worship Scripture,

00:05:08.299 --> 00:05:10.540
and it can be very devastating

00:05:10.640 --> 00:05:13.299
because they kind of cherry pick their way through

00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.000
to get what they want,

00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:17.859
but normally, when people put Scripture above God,

00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.820
you know, they have this sense that we've all been taught

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:22.500
God is loving and God is kind,

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.940
and when it's time to get mad at someone,

00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.899
they won't say, well, you know, God's love fails.

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.440
When they've decided someone's a sinner

00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:31.940
or someone's not worthy or,

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.700
they always, you'll hear the phrase,

00:05:33.799 --> 00:05:35.779
well, it says in the Bible,

00:05:37.579 --> 00:05:40.179
they're worshiping the Bible instead of God.

00:05:40.260 --> 00:05:45.140
It's really a precarious path

00:05:45.239 --> 00:05:48.500
to not let other things replace God,

00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:52.980
and the reason for that is because God is too big.

00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:54.619
We can't get our mind around God,

00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.720
so we have to choose and settle on smaller images

00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:04.059
to get our mind in the right direction.

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.559
We just can't confuse those images

00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:09.660
with the actuality of God,

00:06:09.739 --> 00:06:14.739
and it is, you know, it is a much subtler

00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.119
and more difficult thing than most of us

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:19.820
really want to deal with on a daily basis.

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.760
It's easier just to talk to an imaginary white man

00:06:23.859 --> 00:06:26.019
on a cloud in my head.

00:06:26.119 --> 00:06:28.260
It's just easier, but,

00:06:28.359 --> 00:06:30.019
and there's nothing wrong with that

00:06:30.119 --> 00:06:35.100
until he starts to sound a little bit too much like me,

00:06:35.200 --> 00:06:37.899
until, you know, it starts to justify

00:06:37.940 --> 00:06:40.140
the way I see the world and, quite frankly,

00:06:40.239 --> 00:06:43.019
condemns most of you, you know,

00:06:43.119 --> 00:06:47.420
until, it's just, it's a more dangerous approach

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.859
because the smaller our vision of God,

00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.500
the more easily we start to control it.

00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.059
One of the first kind of modern scripture scholars

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.200
in the church, a man by the last name Schweitzer,

00:07:02.299 --> 00:07:05.100
wrote that his famous line was,

00:07:05.200 --> 00:07:07.540
God created humanity in his own image

00:07:07.540 --> 00:07:12.140
and humanity's been creating God in theirs ever since.

00:07:12.239 --> 00:07:17.720
That it's just too easy to try and make a human person,

00:07:17.820 --> 00:07:19.559
a person out of God,

00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:22.899
rather than we use the word person to point beyond.

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.160
So, with that sense, we look at this,

00:07:27.260 --> 00:07:30.839
Jesus cleansing the temple.

00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:32.940
It's a very difficult scripture,

00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:34.540
and people will say, well, you know,

00:07:34.640 --> 00:07:36.440
you don't get too loose with the interpretation.

00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:38.600
This is what it says, and for most people,

00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:40.579
they would say, you know, I don't know,

00:07:40.679 --> 00:07:43.720
set up a 50-foot perimeter around the church

00:07:43.820 --> 00:07:45.720
and don't let anyone sell anything,

00:07:45.820 --> 00:07:49.019
and you're good to go.

00:07:49.119 --> 00:07:51.380
That's a very small reading of the scripture,

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.459
and as a matter of fact, if you want to be that literal,

00:07:53.559 --> 00:07:58.399
all it really says is, don't sell livestock.

00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:00.260
It's so funny that everyone's like,

00:08:00.359 --> 00:08:04.100
you can't sell Girl Scout cookies.

00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:08.399
Do not mess with the Girl Scout cookies.

00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:11.299
You know, no, and it's interesting.

00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.480
After it talks about all these various things,

00:08:14.579 --> 00:08:17.200
the gospel writer goes back and points out again,

00:08:17.299 --> 00:08:20.820
he specially goes up to the ones selling doves,

00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.239
and what we don't see.

00:08:22.339 --> 00:08:26.720
They're selling the sacrifices that people had to make

00:08:26.820 --> 00:08:28.220
when they came into the temple.

00:08:28.320 --> 00:08:32.020
They're selling entrance into the temple.

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.619
They're selling entrance into the experience of God.

00:08:35.719 --> 00:08:37.679
People believed that they couldn't experience God

00:08:37.780 --> 00:08:40.679
outside the temple, and you've got some very

00:08:40.780 --> 00:08:44.020
unscrupulous people trying to make a buck off people

00:08:44.119 --> 00:08:48.200
so you can't come into church until you've paid your dues.

00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:50.900
You know, and literally, there are writers

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.940
who will tell you it got so mobbed up

00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.099
by the time of Jesus that you would come

00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.239
and you would have your sacrifice,

00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:00.000
and the temple guard would say,

00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:03.059
you know, I'm pretty sure that is blemished.

00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:04.359
I don't think that's acceptable,

00:09:04.460 --> 00:09:06.559
but my cousin Vinny over here is selling

00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:10.299
some lovely unblemished doves,

00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:13.039
and it was really a racket,

00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:18.140
and so this is not an edict that says

00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.580
there's something wrong with buying or selling,

00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.419
or that somehow buying and selling in our lives,

00:09:26.520 --> 00:09:28.820
you know, buying groceries is somehow

00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:32.179
a horribly unsacred act or something.

00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:33.520
Not at all.

00:09:33.619 --> 00:09:37.580
What it's saying is don't try to control

00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.919
and profit from that control about people's access to God.

00:09:42.020 --> 00:09:43.919
You don't control their access to God,

00:09:44.020 --> 00:09:46.559
and you certainly don't try to profit

00:09:46.659 --> 00:09:49.599
by controlling other people's access to God.

00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:54.239
It is, I would actually say it is the only sin

00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:58.479
that habitually sends Jesus over the edge

00:09:58.539 --> 00:10:00.440
in the Gospels.

00:10:00.539 --> 00:10:02.539
When he's screaming you viper's brood,

00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:05.179
he's talking about people who have put a whole bunch

00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:08.739
of, you know, regulations on who can come to the temple

00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:09.880
and who can't come to the temple,

00:10:09.979 --> 00:10:11.979
and who is appropriate and who isn't,

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.260
and those are always the people he blows up at,

00:10:15.359 --> 00:10:19.820
and I think the reason is because some people,

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.059
especially with faith, but it happens in culture,

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.119
it happens in families, it happens in countries,

00:10:24.219 --> 00:10:26.299
it happens all over the place.

00:10:26.520 --> 00:10:31.520
Usually, an over-focused sort of energy

00:10:33.260 --> 00:10:38.260
around the border usually means you've lost the heart,

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.599
that we don't define our faith from knowing

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:45.299
where the center is, so instead we just make sure

00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:47.580
we've got a fence around it.

00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.780
There's a difference between knowing

00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:51.280
where the center of your faith is.

00:10:51.380 --> 00:10:54.219
It's not about where's the fence you don't cross,

00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:57.780
it's knowing the center, and that brings us back to

00:10:57.880 --> 00:11:02.039
it's gotta be God, it can't be other things,

00:11:02.140 --> 00:11:05.280
and if it is, if you make God into something smaller,

00:11:05.380 --> 00:11:09.820
you'll center your faith in all sorts of odd places,

00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.780
and then we don't know how to be a community

00:11:12.880 --> 00:11:15.500
because our centers are different.

00:11:15.599 --> 00:11:18.559
We can all have our own sense of where the boundaries are.

00:11:18.659 --> 00:11:21.299
Everyone does have their own sense of boundaries.

00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.820
I know people with no boundaries at all.

00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:26.419
I call them family.

00:11:26.520 --> 00:11:31.520
But our center, and I think many of us

00:11:33.859 --> 00:11:36.599
don't always stop to think that it's not knowing,

00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:38.900
because we like to talk about what's the non-negotiable?

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.559
There's the line, you don't cross the line,

00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:44.739
and Paul talks about not drawing those lines in the sand,

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.400
but knowing where your center is,

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:50.239
and so as we continue Lent, as we,

00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:51.820
you know, this is where Lent is not,

00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:53.619
you know, Lent becomes this sort of,

00:11:53.719 --> 00:11:57.080
you drop away things that aren't so necessary.

00:11:57.179 --> 00:11:58.619
I always think that people think that Lent

00:11:58.719 --> 00:12:00.219
should be a tough journey.

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.299
I think well done, Lent should be the most easily

00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:06.099
uplifting season of the year, because what happens

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.900
if you do it right is, whatever you give up,

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.140
for people who give something up

00:12:11.239 --> 00:12:12.340
instead of doing something extra,

00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.599
if you give something up, the hope is,

00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:17.580
you start to realize about three weeks down the road,

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.080
I'm not less happy.

00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:23.580
I'm not worse off.

00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:28.080
All those things I thought I needed, I don't,

00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:30.960
and there's this freedom that comes with that,

00:12:31.059 --> 00:12:34.419
and we start to get rid of the clutter on the fringes

00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:39.200
and find our center, and find what is important,

00:12:39.299 --> 00:12:42.239
you know, not as a line we don't cross,

00:12:42.340 --> 00:12:44.799
but as a center that is our core,

00:12:44.900 --> 00:12:48.700
and so we ask God to help us to get rid of the distractions,

00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:51.359
get rid of things that pull our focus

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:53.400
into the periphery all the time.

00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:57.179
You know, all the arguments, I find myself now

00:12:57.280 --> 00:13:00.179
much more focused if I don't turn on the news.

00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:02.440
You know, it's just, it's back and forth

00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:03.739
and the same stuff all the time,

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:08.020
and I'm like, what happens when we find our center?

00:13:08.119 --> 00:13:11.460
If our center is the God that we know

00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.219
we will spend our life moving towards,

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.820
spend our life trying to understand,

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.039
but we'll never spend our life,

00:13:19.140 --> 00:13:21.880
we'll never get our mind around God.

00:13:21.979 --> 00:13:24.460
You know, out of that, I think, really comes this humility

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.580
that Jesus talks so much about,

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.460
the humility that we worship a God

00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.320
that we cannot completely understand,

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:33.359
and anyone, you know, there was a,

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:35.799
I can't remember who it was, it might have been,

00:13:35.900 --> 00:13:36.799
I'm gonna get through the wrong name,

00:13:36.900 --> 00:13:38.159
so I won't give you anyone,

00:13:38.260 --> 00:13:40.960
but used to battle with Thomas Aquinas all the time.

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:45.599
Thomas Aquinas was a brilliant academic,

00:13:45.659 --> 00:13:47.460
and the lines that you always read,

00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:49.260
he's always saying,

00:13:49.359 --> 00:13:54.159
oh, Thomas, you're so busy explaining the unexplainable.

00:13:54.260 --> 00:13:55.700
You know, you're always so busy

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.940
trying to articulate the mystery,

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.340
and his point was, it's brilliant,

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.400
and it's wonderful to delve in and say,

00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:06.580
I think I understand more than I did yesterday,

00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.619
but I'll never get closer to infinite.

00:14:09.719 --> 00:14:11.520
I'll always have more to learn,

00:14:11.619 --> 00:14:13.219
and there's a humility there,

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.119
and so we ask God today to make us a people

00:14:15.239 --> 00:14:17.099
who are more aware of our center,

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.780
that we get back to who we are,

00:14:18.880 --> 00:14:21.340
that we get a sense of where is God,

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.479
what is love, what is caring, what is compassion,

00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:28.219
what are the core values we are called to?

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:29.760
Not what are the borders that we think

00:14:29.859 --> 00:14:34.260
they're not called to, but what are our core values?

00:14:34.359 --> 00:14:37.200
Because if we lose our core,

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:39.359
the perimeter will mean nothing.

analysis

Father Pat's message centers on the idea that true faith is not about rigid boundaries, rules, or external signs of holiness, but about a deep, centered relationship with God that is uncluttered by idols—be they physical, doctrinal, or ideological. He uses Jesus’ cleansing of the temple to challenge how institutions, individuals, and even religious practices can distort access to God, commodify spirituality, and replace divine mystery with controllable, human-centered constructs. Ultimately, Father Pat calls us to humility, reminding us that God is beyond comprehension, and our journey of faith should be aimed at moving toward that mystery, not reducing it to manageable ideas or systems. Lent, then, becomes a season not of deprivation but of liberation—letting go of distractions to rediscover our center in God.

Father Pat begins by reflecting on the Gospel passage where Jesus drives out the money changers from the temple. He cautions against a simplistic interpretation of this event as merely a prohibition against commerce within sacred spaces. Instead, he urges a deeper reading: Jesus’ anger is directed at the exploitation of the faithful and the corruption of religious access. The traders were not just selling animals—they were monetizing people’s access to God, creating barriers for those seeking divine connection. Jesus’ righteous anger is not about economic activity per se, but about the manipulation and commodification of the sacred.

This leads Father Pat into a broader discussion about the Ten Commandments, emphasizing their complexity and variations in numbering across Christian traditions. He humorously points out how people sometimes cite commandments by number without awareness of these differences, suggesting a surface-level engagement with moral law. He challenges the idea of reducing God’s will to a list of rules, instead advocating for a return to the foundational commandment: worship God alone. The danger, he explains, lies in replacing God with idols—not just in the form of graven images, but in subtler forms like power, money, or even Scripture itself when it is wielded as a weapon to judge rather than a guide toward divine love.

He draws attention to how people sometimes idolize Scripture, using it selectively to condemn others rather than seeking the heart of God’s message. This, he asserts, is a form of idolatry, replacing the living mystery of God with a static, controllable interpretation of divine will. Father Pat warns that when our image of God aligns too closely with our own biases and judgments, we risk worshipping a reflection of ourselves rather than the true, unknowable God.

The sermon further explores how religious institutions and individuals can become gatekeepers, creating fences to determine who is “in” or “out” of the faith community. Father Pat suggests that this focus on boundaries often signals a loss of connection to the center—God. He points out that Jesus often reserved his harshest words not for the marginalized or the sinner, but for those who enforced exclusionary rules and profited from religious authority. The real spiritual danger, then, is not impurity or imperfection, but the self-righteousness that seeks to control others’ access to God.

Father Pat then turns to the season of Lent, not as a time of suffering or mere sacrifice, but as an opportunity to refocus on the center of our faith. Lent becomes a spiritual decluttering, letting go of the peripheral things that distract us so we can rediscover our core values: love, humility, compassion, and the pursuit of God’s mystery. He notes that when we let go of unnecessary attachments—whether material or ideological—we often find ourselves no less happy, but more free and more connected to what truly matters.

Finally, Father Pat invites us into a posture of humility. He quotes the idea that humanity has been making God in its own image ever since the beginning, warning against the temptation to shrink God into something we can fully understand or control. Instead, he encourages us to embrace the mystery, to admit that we will never fully comprehend the infinite, and to find peace in the journey rather than in grasping for certainty. True faith, then, is not about knowing the limits, but about being rooted in the center—God’s love—and recognizing that all else must flow from that source.
