  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.383
  • Father cedric pisegna: now is the acceptable time.
  • 00:00:00.517 --> 00:00:01.418
  • Today is the day to make a move.
  • 00:00:02.786 --> 00:00:05.422
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:06.456 --> 00:00:16.699
  • Father cedric pisegna: hi, i'm father cedric pisegna.
  • 00:00:20.804 --> 00:00:22.405
  • Welcome to the program.
  • 00:00:22.405 --> 00:00:23.840
  • It's the fourth sunday of lent and during the fourth sunday of
  • 00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:27.343
  • Lent oftentimes, we have this long gospel reading about the
  • 00:00:27.343 --> 00:00:30.947
  • Prodigal son.
  • 00:00:30.947 --> 00:00:32.549
  • We've all heard that parable and i know you know what it is.
  • 00:00:32.549 --> 00:00:36.553
  • I want to proclaim to you the center portion of it to keep
  • 00:00:36.553 --> 00:00:39.756
  • It shorter.
  • 00:00:39.756 --> 00:00:41.091
  • A reading from the holy gospel according to luke.
  • 00:00:41.091 --> 00:00:45.095
  • The son said i shall get up, go to my father and i shall say to
  • 00:00:45.095 --> 00:00:50.433
  • Him, father, i've sinned against heaven, and i've sinned
  • 00:00:50.433 --> 00:00:53.503
  • Against you.
  • 00:00:53.503 --> 00:00:54.871
  • I no longer deserve to be called your son.
  • 00:00:54.871 --> 00:00:57.907
  • Just treat me as you would treat one of your hired hands.
  • 00:00:57.907 --> 00:01:01.945
  • So he got up and he went back to his father.
  • 00:01:01.945 --> 00:01:06.950
  • While he was still a long way off, the father caught sight of
  • 00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:10.120
  • Him and was filled with compassion.
  • 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.056
  • He ran to his son, hugged him and kissed him.
  • 00:01:13.056 --> 00:01:18.695
  • And his son said to him, father, i've sinned against heaven, and
  • 00:01:18.695 --> 00:01:21.397
  • I've sinned against you.
  • 00:01:21.397 --> 00:01:22.732
  • I'm no longer deserve to be called your son.
  • 00:01:22.732 --> 00:01:25.135
  • But his father ordered his servants, quickly, bring the
  • 00:01:25.135 --> 00:01:29.205
  • Finest robe and put it on him.
  • 00:01:29.205 --> 00:01:31.574
  • Put a ring on his finger, sandals on his feet.
  • 00:01:31.574 --> 00:01:34.711
  • Take the fatted calf and slaughter it.
  • 00:01:34.711 --> 00:01:38.148
  • Let us celebrate with a feast.
  • 00:01:38.148 --> 00:01:40.717
  • For this son of mine was dead and he's come to life again.
  • 00:01:40.717 --> 00:01:45.588
  • He was lost and now he's been found.
  • 00:01:45.588 --> 00:01:49.092
  • Then the celebration began.
  • 00:01:49.092 --> 00:01:51.694
  • The gospel of the lord.
  • 00:01:51.694 --> 00:01:54.230
  • Lent is a season of grace.
  • 00:01:54.230 --> 00:01:56.833
  • It's a time of change in everybody's life.
  • 00:01:56.833 --> 00:01:59.836
  • It's a time of purification and enlightenment from god.
  • 00:01:59.836 --> 00:02:05.008
  • It's a time to get unstuck.
  • 00:02:05.008 --> 00:02:08.244
  • Many people i talk to tell me, father cedric, i feel stuck in
  • 00:02:08.244 --> 00:02:12.248
  • An addiction, or i feel stuck in anger, or stuck in lust and i
  • 00:02:12.248 --> 00:02:17.554
  • Don't know how to move.
  • 00:02:17.554 --> 00:02:19.656
  • The good news is you can make a move.
  • 00:02:19.656 --> 00:02:22.625
  • You'll see it's a pink background and we did
  • 00:02:22.625 --> 00:02:25.295
  • That purposely.
  • 00:02:25.295 --> 00:02:26.663
  • Pink and a little bit of purple thrown in there for lent.
  • 00:02:26.663 --> 00:02:29.866
  • Because this is laetare sunday.
  • 00:02:29.866 --> 00:02:33.136
  • Laetare is a word in latin that means rejoice.
  • 00:02:33.136 --> 00:02:36.739
  • Be glad, joy.
  • 00:02:36.739 --> 00:02:38.841
  • The gospel of luke and i proclaim to you the reading of
  • 00:02:38.841 --> 00:02:42.345
  • The prodigal son from the gospel of luke.
  • 00:02:42.345 --> 00:02:45.014
  • The gospel of luke is the gospel of joy.
  • 00:02:45.014 --> 00:02:48.518
  • Joy radiates throughout that gospel.
  • 00:02:48.518 --> 00:02:51.921
  • And in chapter 15, and i read to you an excerpt from chapter 15,
  • 00:02:51.921 --> 00:02:57.060
  • We hear about three parables.
  • 00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:59.862
  • And each one of them has joy.
  • 00:02:59.862 --> 00:03:03.032
  • For example, there was the parable about the sheep that was
  • 00:03:03.032 --> 00:03:07.270
  • Lost and when the sheep was found, there was joy.
  • 00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:11.341
  • There was parable about the coin that was lost and when the coin
  • 00:03:11.341 --> 00:03:14.911
  • Was found, there was great joy.
  • 00:03:14.911 --> 00:03:16.946
  • And then, of course, when the son came back, when he was
  • 00:03:16.946 --> 00:03:19.616
  • Found, there was amazing joy and a great celebration.
  • 00:03:19.616 --> 00:03:24.220
  • Years ago, i remember there was a bumper sticker that people had
  • 00:03:24.220 --> 00:03:27.423
  • On their cars.
  • 00:03:27.423 --> 00:03:29.058
  • And it simply said, i found it!
  • 00:03:29.058 --> 00:03:31.127
  • Exclamation point.
  • 00:03:31.127 --> 00:03:32.495
  • And they were referring to christianity.
  • 00:03:32.495 --> 00:03:34.330
  • I found it!
  • 00:03:34.330 --> 00:03:35.698
  • Rather than that.
  • 00:03:35.698 --> 00:03:37.166
  • I think we ought to have a bumper sticker that says i've
  • 00:03:37.166 --> 00:03:39.736
  • Been found because that's what this is all about.
  • 00:03:39.736 --> 00:03:42.372
  • It's about a god who searches for us.
  • 00:03:42.372 --> 00:03:46.776
  • A shepherd who searches for the lost sheep.
  • 00:03:46.776 --> 00:03:51.481
  • A woman who searches for the coin that's lost.
  • 00:03:51.481 --> 00:03:54.550
  • And a father who searches for his son.
  • 00:03:54.550 --> 00:03:57.654
  • A son, a daughter that has gone astray.
  • 00:03:57.654 --> 00:04:01.324
  • There was much joy and there's celebration.
  • 00:04:01.324 --> 00:04:05.295
  • And i pray that god's love for you personally will bring
  • 00:04:05.295 --> 00:04:09.198
  • You joy.
  • 00:04:09.198 --> 00:04:11.034
  • So laetare sunday, i remember my mom talkin' about a woman
  • 00:04:11.034 --> 00:04:14.103
  • Searching for a lost coin.
  • 00:04:14.103 --> 00:04:16.239
  • My mother had a south african gold coin called the krugerrand.
  • 00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:19.876
  • It was worth about $2000.
  • 00:04:19.876 --> 00:04:22.111
  • And she lost it.
  • 00:04:22.111 --> 00:04:23.880
  • How she lost it, i don't know, but i remember how frustrated,
  • 00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:27.583
  • How frantic she felt, and she looked for that coin everywhere.
  • 00:04:27.583 --> 00:04:31.354
  • She couldn't find it and she was really distressed.
  • 00:04:31.354 --> 00:04:34.991
  • Then one day she looked in a place that she hadn't thought of
  • 00:04:34.991 --> 00:04:37.894
  • And she found the coin and her frantic frustration turned
  • 00:04:37.894 --> 00:04:42.332
  • To joy.
  • 00:04:42.332 --> 00:04:43.766
  • And that's exactly how it is where jesus told us.
  • 00:04:43.766 --> 00:04:46.936
  • How it is in heaven when one person, when you and me give our
  • 00:04:46.936 --> 00:04:52.542
  • Lives to god.
  • 00:04:52.542 --> 00:04:53.910
  • Come back to god.
  • 00:04:53.910 --> 00:04:56.346
  • Surrender to god.
  • 00:04:56.346 --> 00:04:57.814
  • There's more joy in heaven over one person that repents versus
  • 00:04:57.814 --> 00:05:02.819
  • 99 that don't need to repent.
  • 00:05:02.819 --> 00:05:05.254
  • You cause joy in god's heart when you give yourself to god.
  • 00:05:05.254 --> 00:05:11.461
  • God is frantic over your life right now.
  • 00:05:11.461 --> 00:05:14.897
  • Searching for you.
  • 00:05:14.897 --> 00:05:16.899
  • One rabbi one time said that the novelty of jesus preaching was
  • 00:05:16.899 --> 00:05:22.305
  • He talked about a god who searches for us.
  • 00:05:22.305 --> 00:05:25.541
  • And i think that's so true.
  • 00:05:25.541 --> 00:05:27.310
  • God searches for us.
  • 00:05:27.310 --> 00:05:29.612
  • I was asked to do a talk on evangelization.
  • 00:05:29.612 --> 00:05:33.583
  • Since i have television programs and radio programs and trying to
  • 00:05:33.583 --> 00:05:37.854
  • Reach out to people beyond the walls of the church.
  • 00:05:37.854 --> 00:05:40.123
  • That's called evangelization.
  • 00:05:40.123 --> 00:05:41.524
  • That simply means the proclamation of the good news,
  • 00:05:41.524 --> 00:05:45.695
  • Evangelium, and the good news.
  • 00:05:45.695 --> 00:05:48.431
  • And in the talk, i talked about what our catholic church has
  • 00:05:48.431 --> 00:05:51.968
  • Been doing for the last, let's say 30 years or maybe even
  • 00:05:51.968 --> 00:05:56.873
  • 40 years.
  • 00:05:56.873 --> 00:05:58.408
  • It's something called the new evangelization.
  • 00:05:58.408 --> 00:06:02.378
  • And this has been going on in the catholic church now
  • 00:06:02.378 --> 00:06:04.414
  • For decades.
  • 00:06:04.414 --> 00:06:05.882
  • The popes have been stressing it.
  • 00:06:05.882 --> 00:06:07.817
  • Tryin' to get the priests involved.
  • 00:06:07.817 --> 00:06:09.552
  • Trying to get people involved.
  • 00:06:09.552 --> 00:06:11.354
  • New evangelization.
  • 00:06:11.354 --> 00:06:13.189
  • I guess the old evangelization wasn't working and what was the
  • 00:06:13.189 --> 00:06:16.192
  • Old evangelization?
  • 00:06:16.192 --> 00:06:17.527
  • It was more--not that dogma is bad, or doctrine is bad, but you
  • 00:06:17.527 --> 00:06:21.764
  • Know you can't really draw people to christ with that.
  • 00:06:21.764 --> 00:06:27.203
  • The black and the white.
  • 00:06:27.203 --> 00:06:28.538
  • And even the bible, sometimes, and of course, you know that i
  • 00:06:28.538 --> 00:06:32.275
  • Love the bible and always proclaim the bible, but you
  • 00:06:32.275 --> 00:06:34.777
  • Can't just be people over the head with the bible.
  • 00:06:34.777 --> 00:06:36.846
  • Because they don't get it.
  • 00:06:36.846 --> 00:06:39.182
  • So we need something new.
  • 00:06:39.182 --> 00:06:42.118
  • And what is the new evangelization?
  • 00:06:42.118 --> 00:06:43.786
  • I call it the original evangelization.
  • 00:06:43.786 --> 00:06:47.890
  • The new evangelization is the original evangelization.
  • 00:06:47.890 --> 00:06:52.128
  • And what was the original evangelization?
  • 00:06:52.128 --> 00:06:54.163
  • It was jesus telling stories and loving people.
  • 00:06:54.163 --> 00:07:00.636
  • Not trying to win people.
  • 00:07:00.636 --> 00:07:02.972
  • Although we want them to be saved.
  • 00:07:02.972 --> 00:07:04.707
  • Meeting them where they're at and loving them.
  • 00:07:04.707 --> 00:07:09.245
  • Jesus told stories and that's what we have here in
  • 00:07:09.245 --> 00:07:12.181
  • Today's gospel.
  • 00:07:12.181 --> 00:07:13.516
  • This is arguably the most profound story ever told.
  • 00:07:13.516 --> 00:07:17.720
  • The story of the prodigal son, because it's multi dimensional.
  • 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.057
  • Covers a lot of different areas.
  • 00:07:21.057 --> 00:07:23.226
  • Speaks to a lot of different characters and the thing about a
  • 00:07:23.226 --> 00:07:26.929
  • Story is it engages us.
  • 00:07:26.929 --> 00:07:29.665
  • It draws us in.
  • 00:07:29.665 --> 00:07:31.267
  • We can find our own life within the story.
  • 00:07:31.267 --> 00:07:34.437
  • We can hang our clothes on that clothes hanger and all kinds of
  • 00:07:34.437 --> 00:07:37.406
  • Different ways, different people.
  • 00:07:37.406 --> 00:07:39.075
  • For example, he talked about a father in the story.
  • 00:07:39.075 --> 00:07:41.978
  • Maybe you're a father or mother and your child has fallen away
  • 00:07:41.978 --> 00:07:44.413
  • From the faith.
  • 00:07:44.413 --> 00:07:45.781
  • And you can find yourself in the story as the father.
  • 00:07:45.781 --> 00:07:48.818
  • Or maybe you're the prodigal son, or a prodigal, daughter,
  • 00:07:48.818 --> 00:07:51.587
  • And you've gone away.
  • 00:07:51.587 --> 00:07:53.389
  • And you've left the faith.
  • 00:07:53.389 --> 00:07:54.924
  • And you know you need to come back and make a move.
  • 00:07:54.924 --> 00:07:56.859
  • Or maybe you're the older son, or daughter, who's mad, and
  • 00:07:56.859 --> 00:08:00.263
  • Angry, and resentful toward your brother or sister or somebody
  • 00:08:00.263 --> 00:08:03.165
  • That you know.
  • 00:08:03.165 --> 00:08:04.534
  • And you can find yourself in the story there.
  • 00:08:04.534 --> 00:08:06.569
  • Or maybe your rigidly religious and you're jealous of other
  • 00:08:06.569 --> 00:08:12.608
  • People that have all these experiences with god and your
  • 00:08:12.608 --> 00:08:15.645
  • Religion isn't quite working.
  • 00:08:15.645 --> 00:08:17.013
  • So you're very angry.
  • 00:08:17.013 --> 00:08:20.049
  • There's all kinds of people in this but my point is that
  • 00:08:20.049 --> 00:08:23.886
  • Stories engage us.
  • 00:08:23.886 --> 00:08:26.422
  • And that's jesus's genius.
  • 00:08:26.422 --> 00:08:28.991
  • He spoke to farmers about seeds.
  • 00:08:28.991 --> 00:08:31.661
  • He spoke to fishermen about fish.
  • 00:08:31.661 --> 00:08:33.629
  • He told businessman parables about money and interest.
  • 00:08:33.629 --> 00:08:37.767
  • He met people where they were at and he didn't talk over
  • 00:08:37.767 --> 00:08:40.870
  • Their heads.
  • 00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:42.204
  • He's spoke in practical terms.
  • 00:08:42.204 --> 00:08:45.174
  • I remember as part of my formation, part of my training
  • 00:08:45.174 --> 00:08:48.945
  • In the seminary.
  • 00:08:48.945 --> 00:08:50.813
  • I asked to be able to go to northwestern university
  • 00:08:50.813 --> 00:08:54.016
  • In chicago.
  • 00:08:54.016 --> 00:08:55.718
  • Northwestern university has one of the best drama schools in
  • 00:08:55.718 --> 00:08:59.355
  • The country.
  • 00:08:59.355 --> 00:09:00.990
  • And i knew that i was going to be preaching for the rest of
  • 00:09:00.990 --> 00:09:02.992
  • My life.
  • 00:09:02.992 --> 00:09:04.360
  • And let's just say i was kinda green.
  • 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.596
  • And i needed to loosen up a little bit.
  • 00:09:06.596 --> 00:09:10.366
  • I took some courses.
  • 00:09:10.366 --> 00:09:11.701
  • One of the courses i took was dance to try to get loosened up.
  • 00:09:11.701 --> 00:09:15.705
  • And here i am the seminarian in there with mostly girls in a
  • 00:09:15.705 --> 00:09:19.175
  • Dance course, but hey, it's loosened me up and now i move a
  • 00:09:19.175 --> 00:09:22.144
  • Lot more than i ever would have.
  • 00:09:22.144 --> 00:09:24.413
  • But the storytelling course is what i want to talk about.
  • 00:09:24.413 --> 00:09:28.417
  • I took a course in storytelling.
  • 00:09:28.417 --> 00:09:30.353
  • And i said, if i want to be good enough to engage people and to
  • 00:09:30.353 --> 00:09:33.055
  • Hold their interest, i got to do something that works.
  • 00:09:33.055 --> 00:09:36.692
  • And they taught us how to tell stories.
  • 00:09:36.692 --> 00:09:39.929
  • It engages people.
  • 00:09:39.929 --> 00:09:41.897
  • It attracts people, it captivates people.
  • 00:09:41.897 --> 00:09:45.101
  • And that was jesus's genius.
  • 00:09:45.101 --> 00:09:48.137
  • Throughout the gospels, you see jesus telling stories.
  • 00:09:48.137 --> 00:09:52.575
  • And as i said, this particular story has to do with many
  • 00:09:52.575 --> 00:09:57.346
  • Different people.
  • 00:09:57.346 --> 00:09:58.748
  • And hopefully you can plug into.
  • 00:09:58.748 --> 00:10:00.549
  • People cannot argue with your story.
  • 00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:02.818
  • By the way, when i talked about the new evangelization, i talked
  • 00:10:02.818 --> 00:10:07.123
  • About smiling at people, loving people, and being gentle.
  • 00:10:07.123 --> 00:10:13.429
  • Tell your story.
  • 00:10:13.429 --> 00:10:15.264
  • People can't argue with a story.
  • 00:10:15.264 --> 00:10:17.033
  • And i love what it says in 1 peter chapter 3, verse 15.
  • 00:10:17.033 --> 00:10:21.003
  • Be reverent and be gentle.
  • 00:10:21.003 --> 00:10:24.473
  • Again, we're not trying to win people, or beat them over the
  • 00:10:24.473 --> 00:10:27.209
  • Head, or make sure that they believe the way you believe, or
  • 00:10:27.209 --> 00:10:30.279
  • Yell at 'em, or anything like that.
  • 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.481
  • And don't you dare judge them.
  • 00:10:32.481 --> 00:10:35.384
  • Be gentle.
  • 00:10:35.384 --> 00:10:36.752
  • That's what attracts me.
  • 00:10:36.752 --> 00:10:38.220
  • I hope it attracts you too.
  • 00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:39.622
  • I think that's the number one thing i get from people.
  • 00:10:39.622 --> 00:10:41.490
  • Father cedric, you're so gentle.
  • 00:10:41.490 --> 00:10:43.793
  • And i'm trying to to draw people, to attract people to
  • 00:10:43.793 --> 00:10:47.196
  • The gospel.
  • 00:10:47.196 --> 00:10:48.564
  • Perhaps in a way that they've never seen before.
  • 00:10:48.564 --> 00:10:51.267
  • Because god is love.
  • 00:10:51.267 --> 00:10:53.536
  • God is mercy.
  • 00:10:53.536 --> 00:10:55.171
  • Jesus's genius was storytelling, multi dimensional.
  • 00:10:55.171 --> 00:10:59.642
  • And the context of the story and i hope you got this was--he was
  • 00:10:59.642 --> 00:11:04.580
  • Speaking to the pharisees, to the scribes, who are murmuring
  • 00:11:04.580 --> 00:11:10.419
  • Against him because he was eating with tax collectors
  • 00:11:10.419 --> 00:11:13.856
  • And sinners.
  • 00:11:13.856 --> 00:11:15.191
  • These are the people that would eventually kill jesus.
  • 00:11:15.191 --> 00:11:19.061
  • They murmured against him because he reached out to
  • 00:11:19.061 --> 00:11:21.263
  • The peripheries.
  • 00:11:21.263 --> 00:11:22.798
  • He reached out to the marginalized.
  • 00:11:22.798 --> 00:11:25.101
  • And they didn't understand that.
  • 00:11:25.101 --> 00:11:26.435
  • It wasn't in their black and white.
  • 00:11:26.435 --> 00:11:29.772
  • They didn't understand how he could do this.
  • 00:11:29.772 --> 00:11:32.074
  • That's not their religion.
  • 00:11:32.074 --> 00:11:33.743
  • Oh yes, it is.
  • 00:11:33.743 --> 00:11:35.845
  • Love your neighbor as yourself, that's right from the
  • 00:11:35.845 --> 00:11:38.547
  • Old testament.
  • 00:11:38.547 --> 00:11:39.949
  • Love the lord your god with all your heart.
  • 00:11:39.949 --> 00:11:42.585
  • And when asked the question, jesus said, this is the law and
  • 00:11:42.585 --> 00:11:45.821
  • The prophets, do to others as you would have them do to you.
  • 00:11:45.821 --> 00:11:49.892
  • The golden rule, loving people.
  • 00:11:49.892 --> 00:11:52.728
  • But anyway, got him into a lot of trouble and he was telling
  • 00:11:52.728 --> 00:11:55.664
  • This parable to them to the religious leaders.
  • 00:11:55.664 --> 00:12:00.536
  • It's like hello, wake up, you're the one, you're the angry older
  • 00:12:00.536 --> 00:12:03.706
  • Son who's upset because your brother has come back and your
  • 00:12:03.706 --> 00:12:09.779
  • Father is lavishing his love.
  • 00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:11.247
  • Don't get upset with other people that have had born again
  • 00:12:11.247 --> 00:12:13.816
  • Experiences or had been filled with the holy spirit just
  • 00:12:13.816 --> 00:12:17.119
  • Because you haven't.
  • 00:12:17.119 --> 00:12:18.487
  • Because jesus said, "blessed are you who believe without seeing."
  • 00:12:18.487 --> 00:12:22.625
  • And that's what the father says.
  • 00:12:22.625 --> 00:12:23.959
  • He says my son, to the older son.
  • 00:12:23.959 --> 00:12:26.295
  • He says, my son, everything i have is yours.
  • 00:12:26.295 --> 00:12:29.198
  • Don't be comparing yourself with what i'm doing to your
  • 00:12:29.198 --> 00:12:31.467
  • Younger brother.
  • 00:12:31.467 --> 00:12:32.835
  • Everything i have is yours.
  • 00:12:32.835 --> 00:12:34.770
  • Don't be a slave.
  • 00:12:34.770 --> 00:12:36.105
  • Remember what the older son said?
  • 00:12:36.105 --> 00:12:38.007
  • All these years i've slaved for you.
  • 00:12:38.007 --> 00:12:41.243
  • That's one of the things of lent is trying to do is get us quit
  • 00:12:41.243 --> 00:12:44.647
  • The slave mentality and come back to being a son and a
  • 00:12:44.647 --> 00:12:48.651
  • Daughter of god, because that's who you really are.
  • 00:12:48.651 --> 00:12:52.621
  • Well, he was talking to the religious leaders.
  • 00:12:52.621 --> 00:12:56.692
  • And it all had to do with.
  • 00:12:56.692 --> 00:12:59.595
  • Please, see what god is doing.
  • 00:12:59.595 --> 00:13:02.264
  • He's reaching out to all people.
  • 00:13:02.264 --> 00:13:05.434
  • My house shall be a house of prayer for all people.
  • 00:13:05.434 --> 00:13:09.205
  • We heard about early on in lent.
  • 00:13:09.205 --> 00:13:12.041
  • The context is jesus is speaking this to the religious leaders
  • 00:13:12.041 --> 00:13:15.978
  • But we overhear it.
  • 00:13:15.978 --> 00:13:18.581
  • When i was taught about preaching to young people, for
  • 00:13:18.581 --> 00:13:21.383
  • Example, a school, when you've got all the grade schoolers
  • 00:13:21.383 --> 00:13:23.752
  • There or teenagers there, i was taught yeah preach to them, but
  • 00:13:23.752 --> 00:13:27.456
  • Realize that the adults will be overhearing you.
  • 00:13:27.456 --> 00:13:30.392
  • And that's exactly what jesus is doing in this story.
  • 00:13:30.392 --> 00:13:33.195
  • He's preaching.
  • 00:13:33.195 --> 00:13:34.530
  • He's teaching the religious people but through the
  • 00:13:34.530 --> 00:13:38.067
  • Centuries, we are overhearing exactly what he has to say.
  • 00:13:38.067 --> 00:13:43.305
  • Well, the story centers, as we know, about this young man, who
  • 00:13:43.305 --> 00:13:48.043
  • Takes his father's inheritance.
  • 00:13:48.043 --> 00:13:50.412
  • Cuts himself off from the family.
  • 00:13:50.412 --> 00:13:53.148
  • Goes off with the money, with the inheritance.
  • 00:13:53.148 --> 00:13:55.484
  • Squanders it in loose living.
  • 00:13:55.484 --> 00:13:57.853
  • He has a great time for a while.
  • 00:13:57.853 --> 00:14:00.422
  • He's the life of the party.
  • 00:14:00.422 --> 00:14:02.024
  • And that's exactly what temptations will do for us.
  • 00:14:02.024 --> 00:14:05.761
  • That's what attractions will do for us.
  • 00:14:05.761 --> 00:14:08.097
  • It will give us some joy but a joy that fades.
  • 00:14:08.097 --> 00:14:11.267
  • A happiness that fades.
  • 00:14:11.267 --> 00:14:14.303
  • And eventually the money runs out.
  • 00:14:14.303 --> 00:14:16.772
  • He starts getting hungry.
  • 00:14:16.772 --> 00:14:18.974
  • Has to get a job.
  • 00:14:18.974 --> 00:14:20.876
  • And he gets this job with pigs.
  • 00:14:20.876 --> 00:14:23.946
  • Slopping with the pigs in the mud.
  • 00:14:23.946 --> 00:14:25.714
  • Now pigs for jewish people are unclean.
  • 00:14:25.714 --> 00:14:29.919
  • They are the worst of the worst.
  • 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:31.654
  • And now, he's slopping with the pigs in the mud.
  • 00:14:31.654 --> 00:14:35.691
  • He's stinky, he's dirty.
  • 00:14:35.691 --> 00:14:38.527
  • He's cut off from his family.
  • 00:14:38.527 --> 00:14:40.129
  • He's got nothing.
  • 00:14:40.129 --> 00:14:42.464
  • And then, and i've studied change.
  • 00:14:42.464 --> 00:14:46.302
  • And what makes a person come to a conversion?
  • 00:14:46.302 --> 00:14:49.405
  • It's suffering.
  • 00:14:49.405 --> 00:14:54.209
  • I laugh because nobody wants to suffer but if you have a person
  • 00:14:54.209 --> 00:15:00.549
  • In your family who's an alcoholic.
  • 00:15:00.549 --> 00:15:03.352
  • You know that they have to have a bottoming out experience or an
  • 00:15:03.352 --> 00:15:07.156
  • Intervention for them to change.
  • 00:15:07.156 --> 00:15:08.657
  • Otherwise why are they going to change if they don't suffer?
  • 00:15:08.657 --> 00:15:10.859
  • Well, this is what happens to this young man.
  • 00:15:10.859 --> 00:15:13.095
  • He has a bottoming out experience with the pigs, with
  • 00:15:13.095 --> 00:15:16.665
  • The mud on his face, with a hunger in the stomach.
  • 00:15:16.665 --> 00:15:19.301
  • And it says in the scriptures, he came to his senses.
  • 00:15:19.301 --> 00:15:23.372
  • That's what's lent is all about in some ways, coming to our
  • 00:15:23.372 --> 00:15:27.943
  • Senses, waking up.
  • 00:15:27.943 --> 00:15:30.913
  • And he makes a move.
  • 00:15:30.913 --> 00:15:32.781
  • And this is what the scriptures is trying to get us to do to
  • 00:15:32.781 --> 00:15:34.950
  • Make a move.
  • 00:15:34.950 --> 00:15:43.292
  • He says, i'm going to go back to my father.
  • 00:15:43.292 --> 00:15:46.195
  • I may not be accepted but i'm gonna just say can i be
  • 00:15:46.195 --> 00:15:48.998
  • Your slave?
  • 00:15:48.998 --> 00:15:51.300
  • And he gets up and he makes the move.
  • 00:15:51.300 --> 00:15:53.535
  • It was c.s. lewis, who said, get this,
  • 00:15:53.535 --> 00:15:56.805
  • C. s. lewis, the great writer.
  • 00:15:56.805 --> 00:15:59.074
  • "god whispers in our pleasures but he shouts in our sufferings.
  • 00:15:59.074 --> 00:16:05.381
  • Suffering is god's megaphone to rouse a sleeping world."
  • 00:16:06.749 --> 00:16:13.655
  • I think about the story of st. francis of assisi.
  • 00:16:16.458 --> 00:16:20.796
  • Of course, arguably the greatest saint in the catholic church,
  • 00:16:20.796 --> 00:16:25.034
  • The universal saint.
  • 00:16:25.034 --> 00:16:27.236
  • People everywhere claim him as their saint even if they're
  • 00:16:27.236 --> 00:16:30.039
  • Not catholic.
  • 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:31.707
  • Well, what you don't know about francesco, let's call him
  • 00:16:31.707 --> 00:16:35.044
  • Because he was italian.
  • 00:16:35.044 --> 00:16:37.246
  • Francesco of assisi, he was a partier as a young man.
  • 00:16:37.246 --> 00:16:41.517
  • They called them the dancer because he loved girls, loved
  • 00:16:41.517 --> 00:16:45.287
  • The high life, and he loved to have fun.
  • 00:16:45.287 --> 00:16:48.457
  • Well, what happened was he went through a major suffering in his
  • 00:16:48.457 --> 00:16:52.661
  • Young life.
  • 00:16:52.661 --> 00:16:54.163
  • They were having a city state war with persia.
  • 00:16:54.163 --> 00:16:58.267
  • And in the midst of this war, assisi and persia.
  • 00:16:58.267 --> 00:17:02.104
  • In the midst of this war, he got captured.
  • 00:17:02.104 --> 00:17:04.940
  • And for one year, i'm tryin' to stress how long that is.
  • 00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:10.112
  • Francis gets put in this cave, in prison.
  • 00:17:10.112 --> 00:17:14.116
  • It was cold.
  • 00:17:14.116 --> 00:17:16.251
  • It was dark.
  • 00:17:16.251 --> 00:17:17.953
  • And he had no comfort.
  • 00:17:17.953 --> 00:17:19.388
  • They fed them.
  • 00:17:19.388 --> 00:17:20.722
  • But he was in prison.
  • 00:17:20.722 --> 00:17:23.992
  • In that suffering, his personality changed.
  • 00:17:23.992 --> 00:17:29.264
  • He sought god.
  • 00:17:29.264 --> 00:17:31.567
  • God touched him and he had a conversion.
  • 00:17:31.567 --> 00:17:36.939
  • When he got to let out of prison all of his friends said, hey,
  • 00:17:36.939 --> 00:17:39.508
  • You're back, you know, it's good to have you back.
  • 00:17:39.508 --> 00:17:41.210
  • Let's go party and everything.
  • 00:17:41.210 --> 00:17:42.544
  • Lets go. you're the dancer.
  • 00:17:42.544 --> 00:17:45.247
  • You're the life of the party. he said no, no, no more.
  • 00:17:45.247 --> 00:17:47.950
  • I'm different now.
  • 00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:49.318
  • And he became this man of peace.
  • 00:17:49.318 --> 00:17:55.157
  • Composed that beautiful prayer, "make me a channel of
  • 00:17:55.157 --> 00:17:58.160
  • Your peace.
