Peace be with you, friends.

We're reading this week as last week from the 10th chapter of Matthew's Gospel.

And you know, I mentioned last week that though the primary stress in the Gospels is on who Jesus is, look at our great creeds.

We don't talk about his teaching at all.

We talk about who he is.

But I said, and I'll say it again, it doesn't mean we ignore his teaching.

I mean, on the contrary.

It's because of who he is that we take his teaching with such seriousness.

And his teaching is, as always, astonishing.

To say, oh, he just echoes with all the great spiritual teachers.

Well, there are points of contact, of course.

There are points of overlap.

But Jesus teaching everybody is strange.

And if we don't get that, if we say, "Oh, Jesus teaching is, you know, it's nice to be nice," or, you know, "be nice to people, love your neighbor," well, that's pretty superficial.

Unless his teaching takes your breath away, you're probably not really getting it.

So last week we heard him say to his disciples, "Fear nobody." And I suggested, I mean, who would take that seriously?

How could you possibly go through life not fearing anybody?

fear is a big part of human life, and people use our fears to manipulate us.

So, that's why they're, you know, fearsome.

Well, I can say that if I made a conversion, a metanoia, a transition from the body,

right, the relatively superficial dimension of my life, to the soul, the depth dimension.

Standing there, I mentioned last week, you could say, like Martin Luther King, the end of his life, I'm not fearing anybody.

I've been to the mountaintop.

You could be in Teresa of Avila's interior castle, the place of safety, even as, you know, havoc is being wreaked all around you,

but you're in the interior castle.

So, that was last week's teaching.

You know, something I wanted to mention then, I'll do it now.

Look how much of our culture is predicated upon safety.

being safe, safe spaces, feeling threatened, and we can't have anybody challenging us, and we have to retreat into our safe place.

"Fear nobody," Jesus says.

To live in this sort of constant fear is an anti -spiritual attitude.

It means that we are preoccupied with the goods of the body that we might lose.

Metanoia means you move to a deeper place.

Okay, that's really what I said.

last week.

I bring it up again because in many ways the teaching today is making the same point, but using kind of a different approach or a different image.

Last week was fear, things I'm afraid of losing.

This week it's detachment.

It's what's my relationship to the goods of the world to which I become perhaps inordinately attached.

Now, I want to be really careful.

as I commence this because, as I've said to you many times, Christianity, authentic Christianity, is not puritanical.

It doesn't set soul and body in stark opposition.

It doesn't put the spiritual and material in stark opposition.

No, no. Everything God made is good.

The ensemble of what he made is very good.

and that means the trees and the water and the mountains

and the sky and the planets and the sun it means The body, yes indeed, it means even insects that crawl upon the earth.

Genesis goes out of its way to say all these things are good.

Why?

Because many spiritual systems and religions play the dualistic game of, yeah, these material things are including my body.

They're real, but they're bad.

They're just a source of temptation, and the idea is to escape from that.

That's not biblical, Rather, think in terms of dimensions.

The soul is a kind of depth dimension of the person that includes the body.

Thomas Aquinas, in fact, said that.

The soul is in the body, not as contained by it, but rather as containing it.

That's the depth dimension of the self we call the soul.

Conversion is moving from this superficial dimension, the body, to this deeper place.

Okay, so we're not anti— We're not against the body, not against the world.

What are we against them?

turning anything in the world into the summum bonum, - Thank you.

Latin for the highest good. Is the world good?

Yes.

Is it very good?

Yes.

Is it the summum bonum?

No. So, there's the tension at the heart of Genesis, right?

All these things that come forth in this beautiful, I would call it liturgical procession from God, are indeed good. But watch.

They are creatures.

All these things mentioned in Genesis, from the moon and stars and planets to the earth to mountains to animals,

were all in different cultures at that time worshipped as gods, weren't they?

Genesis keeps saying, "No, no, no, no, no. These things are not gone." Beautiful,

good, very good, not sumum bonum.

So what's the problem?

Well, here's how St. Augustine put it, with typical pith.

"When I mistake a creature for the Creator, trouble ensues.

And look, I've been at this for a long time as a preacher, as a counselor, as a spiritual director.

That's one of the most basic insights you can find.

When you're working with someone and they're suffering,

they're struggling, Find the place where they have turned something creaturely into the creator.

They've taken something good from the world and made it the summum bonum.

See, that's where the trouble always is, spiritually speaking.

Okay, how does Jesus make this point?

Now, listen to his teaching and prepare to have your breath taken away.

Jesus said to his apostles, Thank you.

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.

and whoever loves son or daughter more than me.

is not worthy of me.

Thank you.

Now again, I would say here, put this up against the great religious teachings of the world.

There's nothing like this.

See, what's he choosing on purpose?

Of the great goods of the world, he's choosing the highest and the best.

Think of a child's love for his parents.

Think of a parent's love for his or her children.

is those are like the most intense connections you can find, right?

Among the goods of the world, They're the highest good.

You know, our families, the people we love the most.

100

You say like, "Okay, I'll lose everything.

101

I don't care.

102

Take the house, take the clothes, take my job, but leave my family." You know, and I'll be okay.

103

We recognize them as among the goods of the world, They're the highest.

104

You know, I think of how often we celebrate this in films and stories and legends.

105

Look at a movie like Life is Beautiful.

106

It's all about a father's incredible and intense love for a child.

107

It's a wonderful life or...

108

Even a movie like "Parenthood," I saw that not long ago on TV, and it's a strange, quirky movie,

109

but in some ways it's about these intense loves that obtain between parents and kids.

110

Think of a book like "To Kill a Mockingbird." I hope people still read that.

111

It's not been canceled yet.

112

We read it, of course.

113

Everybody read that book.

114

And it's about a father and a child.

115

Go to a higher level.

116

Think of Cordelia's love for her father and King Lear.

117

These intense connections between parents,

118

children, there's nothing stronger Okay, so revisit it.

119

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.

120

Whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

121

"Uh, what?

122

What are you saying?" What's he saying?

123

There is a summum bonum, there's a highest good, that goes beyond,

124

listen, any of the goods of the world, even the greatest.

125

even the highest.

126

And the spiritual life is all about making the transition to that Love of the Lord.

127

Deuteronomy 6, the Shema prayer, right?

128

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone ; therefore, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,

129

all your mind, all your soul." One God.

130

We talk about the monotheism of Judaism.

131

We affirm it every time we recite the Creed.

132

Credo in unum deum.

133

I believe in one God.

134

You see everybody how spiritually important that is that the operative word there is one.

135

One.

136

There's only one Summum bonum.

137

highest good.

138

Lots of goods in the world.

139

There are the highest worldly goods, like my love, like my parents and my kids.

140

But there's a good beyond all of those, and that must be the focus of my soul.

141

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, right?

142

Right?

143

How about from Exodus, "I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God." It doesn't mean God's falling into an emotional snit.

144

It's making this point.

145

There's no rivalry possible.

146

"Oh, wait a minute.

147

I mean, but I love my family more than I love God." No. No, unless you love me more than your mother and father,

148

more than your children, you're not worthy of me.

149

See how extraordinary it is?

150

In light of this, revisit that awful story from the book of Genesis about the sacrifice of Isaac.

151

Abraham, "Yes, Lord, here I am.

152

You know Isaac, your son.

153

your beloved, the child of your old age, who will bear the promise.

154

You know Isaac, yeah, yeah, yeah.

155

I'd like you to sacrifice Isaac to me." Now, as we know, the Lord sends the angel to stop the sacrifice, but what's he doing there?

156

He's testing.

157

Does Abraham love the Lord?

158

more even than he loves his child. And you say, "Terrible!

159

What a terrible dilemma !" Yeah, it is.

160

But see, that story, it's a test case.

161

It's pressing us into that space where we have to make that decision.

162

Um...

163

Unless you love me more than your mother and father, more than your children, more than your very life, You're not worthy of me.

164

See, and this is the whole idea, everybody.

165

You see it in the great spiritual traditions of Christianity, of detachment.

166

It doesn't mean we hate the things of the world.

167

No, no. It doesn't mean we hate our family.

168

Of course not.

169

But it means we are sufficiently detached from those relatively lower goods that we might be completely attached to the summum bonum. to what God wants.

170

Hard lesson?

171

You bet.

172

And look, I've been at this for a long time, and It's the heart of the spiritual challenge.

173

It's what every one of us sinners has to wrestle with.

174

Have we turned creatures into the creator?

175

When you do that, major mischief follows.

176

That's absolutely basic in the spiritual life.

177

And so how do we cleanse and purify our souls that the love of the summum bonum might truly be first.

178

Everything hinges upon that.

179

Now bring these two teachings from these two weeks together.

180

Fear nobody.

181

See, don't be afraid of those paper tigers that can just affect the goods of the body.

182

Rather, you've moved to a deeper level.

183

Fear, indeed, the one who can kill both body and soul and Gehenna.

184

Fear of the Lord.

185

Same thing here.

186

Don't be attached to even the best goods of the world.

187

Rather, be attached to God alone.

188

Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind.

189

That's the greatest commandment, and that's the most purifying and cleansing insight in the spiritual life.

190

And God bless you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
