1
How did we get so mean?
2
The problem with me.
3
And then third, the key to loving.
4
First, how did we get so mean?
5
A couple years ago, I read an article and saved it.
6
It was written by David Brooks.
7
He wrote an article in The Atlantic with that title, How America Got So Mean.
8
And he points out something there in the article
9
that I think most of us have come to see or to realize and that it seems that people are getting meaner.
10
We're getting meaner.
11
Simply just how we increasingly treat those out in public or complete strangers.
12
Brooks mentions in the article about an owner of a restaurant who recounts
13
that he has to kick somebody out of his restaurant for crude or rude behavior about once a week.
14
Something he said he didn't have to do like years, decades ago.
15
The Wall Street Journal just on Monday had an article saying how nurses around the country are leaving in droves.
16
What's one of the main reasons nurses are quitting?
17
The way they say that they're being treated by patients and the patient's families.
18
A number of nurses that were interviewed for the article talked about how not just verbal altercations, but even violence, physical, of getting punched,
19
getting kicked, getting spit upon.
20
And Brooks, in the article in The Atlantic, he asked the question, how did we get this way?
21
How did we get so mean, or how are we getting meaner?
22
And he argues that the problem goes deeper than because of what social media is doing or politics.
23
He says that we've largely stopped forming people in virtue, in moral character.
24
He says there were times when institutions, there are institutions like family, the institution of family, schools,
25
churches placed a lot of emphasis on teaching people on how to be good and decent human beings.
26
But that's changed.
27
Emphasis has changed.
28
Instead of teaching people how to become good, we started telling people that they're already good.
29
And because you're already good, what you need to do and what really matters is that you just need to get in touch with yourself.
30
You just need to discover yourself, discover who you are, doing what feels right for you.
31
And Brooks says that the result of this is what we've created is what he calls a self -referential world.
32
A world where it increasingly revolves around me.
33
What I feel, what I want, what I think, what makes me happy.
34
And when everything revolves around me, it becomes really hard to care about the other.
35
And we can become mean.
36
Which brings me secondly here to the problem with me.
37
In the gospel today, we hear once again that the Pharisees are trying to trap Jesus.
38
They come up to him and they try to trap him by the question of which is the greatest of the commandments.
39
And you don't have time really to say on how this is a trap.
40
But out of the 600 commandments, they come up and they say, which of the commandments is the greatest?
41
And notice what Jesus doesn't say.
42
He doesn't say be a good person, be polite, have good manners.
43
He says love God with your whole mind, heart, and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.
44
He boils everything down to love.
45
why because love requires us to get over ourselves and
46
that is not something we do well as human beings to love god means to have him at the center
47
which means i cannot be the center to love my neighbor means
48
that someone else good someone else's good matters to me
49
and not just my own but the wild thing is
50
that this cuts so much deeper than we first think the problem is
51
so much deeper it reveals the the of the problem that's we within us be
52
because of sin is so much deeper because we know
53
that it's possible to do good things for people and still have it be all about me.
54
You might say like, well, I'm a good person.
55
Like I'm not one of those people that David Brooks is talking about in that article about being mean.
56
Like I'm a generous person.
57
I'm kind.
58
I treat people well.
59
But I can be generous because of what people will think about me and what I get in return.
60
I can go out of my way to help somebody.
61
But if they don't say thank you, how it bothers.
62
See, my generosity, even in my generosity, there can be alternative motives on why I do the things that I do,
63
that I treat people well well, it might be because it's out in public and that they'll think well of me.
64
It can still be self -referential.
65
And the place where our self -centeredness is most clearly seen is with those that are closest to us.
66
St. Jose Maria Escriva, they composed a book of a lot of his one -
67
or two -liner heavy -hitting quotes on different topics.
68
It's called The Way.
69
It's a great book to have on your, you know, your coffee table to pick up and just look at some of his quotes.
70
And one of them, he's describing the person who seems to be wonderful from a distance.
71
But it is a very different person up close.
72
He says this.
73
He says, your charity or your love.
74
Your charity is ostentatious.
75
It's showy.
76
From afar, you attract you give off light from near you repel you lack warmth what a pity
77
what a pity he says from afar you attract you give off light
78
from nearby you repel and lack warmth from afar what a what a wonderful person he is Why,
79
you know, man, he's really just a great guy.
80
He's so kind.
81
Or she's so generous.
82
The way, how loving she is.
83
From near, perhaps with our spouse or with our kids.
84
Impatient, rude, crude even.
85
That can be a very uncomfortable truth.
86
The uncomfortable truth that even when, and it's on display then, when it becomes more distance, when we're trying to love others,
87
we can still find a way that it might still have the corners of our hearts where it's about ourselves.
88
This is sin in us.
89
Our will being bent, which brings us to the key, the key to loving.
90
It's really the required prerequisite of loving God and loving our neighbor.
91
See, what we need, what we desperately need is to be loved by someone whose love is completely free of selfishness,
92
who doesn't have an ounce of self -centeredness in it, someone who isn't trying to get something out of it by loving us.
93
God has nothing to gain by loving you and me.
94
and yet he gives everything.
95
Romans 5a, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
96
Not when we had everything all put together, not when we stopped sinning, not when while we were still sinners, Christ died for you and me.
97
That's the love in which we need to receive.
98
this is why others commenting on this
99
and church fathers on the jesus's greatest commandment of loving god
100
and loving our neighbor ourselves what do a lot of times they point to first john chapter four we love
101
because he first loved us we cannot it sounds cliche right we can't give what we haven't received
102
but it is so true especially when it comes to this and receiving the authentic and non -self -referential love.
103
You notice, you're saying Paul in the second readings, right?
104
He's talking about the Thessalonians received the gospel,
105
became imitators of Christ, and then they became models for others.
106
They received, they were formed, and then they became an example for other people to live their life, to be men and women of virtue,
107
to be men and women of love.
108
We need to teach our young people.
109
We need to be taught about moral character and virtue.
110
We need to teach them how to love.
111
We have to show them what love looks like.
112
But it starts with, and perhaps it's most importantly, to teach them how to receive the love of God, that your life matters.
113
That you're worth the trouble.
114
That God went to the cross for you.
115
That an infinite God loves you more than you can imagine.
116
But perhaps that starts with us receiving that.
117
And so let me ask you.
118
When was the last time you actually received the love of God?
119
Where you sat with it?
120
You soaked it in.
121
you absorbed it
122
give the Lord 30 minutes this week where you're going to sit down
123
and you intentionally say this time this 30 minutes is just to sit and to soak in the love of God
124
whether that's coming here to the church or the adoration chapel or it's finding a spot in your home
125
you might consider praying with the four verses Isaiah chapter 43 verses 1 to 4.
126
Open up the scriptures to those four passages for 30 minutes as you read it.
127
Your only objective is to receive and soak in authentic,
128
non -self -referential, non -self -centered love.
129
If we want a generation that knows how to love and maybe to be not so mean,
130
we have to become people who know how to love.
131
And perhaps that begins with first allowing ourselves to sit and receive the love of God.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
