[Music] Mother Angelica live brought to you from the Eternal Word Television Studios in Birmingham [Music] Alabama see in you the love the compassion of Jesus the most glorious work of all to praise God in his kingom moved by the spirit one who lives in love lives in God and God lives in him what a wonderful thing is our church this whole network is built on trust the essence of evangelization is to tell everybody Jesus Lov [Music] you we are all called to be great Saints don't miss the [Applaus
e] [Music] [Applause] opportunity well we're going to talk about about Jesus for sure and tonight uh no matter what you think I have to be good tonight because I have a very wonderful kind loving Cardinal here tonight from Puerto Rico cardal oppon so we want to give him a big hand i'm GL to be good I think tonight uh tonight we're going to talk oh I I wanted to share something with you over the weekend I went to St Louis over the weekend and I I I talked to um Archbishop regali who was a very wo
nderful experience and Cardinal Carberry who has been in a nursing home for many years she had a stroke a very holy man and and he looked at me and he went I said thank you anyway we had a nice nice time together but what I want to tell you and share with you is if you're if you're ever in St Louis and if you're not if you never go go because they have the most magnificent Cathedral I ever saw it's um there are more mosaic in that Cathedral than anywhere in the world and you really got to see th
at you know you go all over Europe for this church and that church and you got them in your backyard you never go so beside the paica of of our macro conception in Washington DC if you're going east if you go darting West I would stop at the make a tour sometime of beautiful churches in America this the mosaics are just striking and you know they're just little tiny things and you get a whole a whole Cathedral filled with tiny pieces of colored glass it's unbelievable tonight I didn't know reall
y what to talk about so we thought maybe tolerance tolerance it's something we don't often think about and I think tolerance is is a great virtue because intolerance affects on awful lot of our life you wouldn't think so for example if you know sometime you when I went to school I was intolerant with nuns because uh the nuns in my school used to wear something that came out way here and if you ever sat behind them in church you can forget everything you could listen but you could never ever see
so I was not very tolerant of sitting in in church people are not tolerant of babies crying there was thought that's not tolerance oh yeah you're getting upset and wishing they go away You're intolerant I like to talk about tolerance because I think it's one of the hindrances to Holiness of life you know what it says here in Ephesians it it says bear with Ephesians 4 4 first first second verse bear with one another charitably that's tolerance a complete selflessness oo that's a word we don't eve
n know anymore gentleness and patience I would like to say that that is one of the best definitions of Tolerance and tolerance so much isn't in the feelings in the old days when they wore hats you wear hats any want nobody wear hats well when they used to wear hats I think it was a lot of intolerance cuz some of them were pretty big do you remember those my mother used to make her own and I tell you it had everything on it but the kitchen sink and and you became intolerant towards hats you becam
e became intolerant towards a lot of things and then we became intolerant with color if you were black or Indian or brown suddenly brings out something in your heart that's not of God that's that's intolerance and today I think we have a lot of intolerance we have intolerance towards people that are another language another nationality we have intolerance a lot with races we we have intolerance with religion you'd say oh that's not true oh yeah it's getting more true have you noticed that and I
think tolerance is in the will it can't be in the memory unless somebody told you this particular race should be hated and your great great grandmother or grandfather told you that that's the beginning of intolerance it can't be in the intellect because it doesn't make sense does does it the people can't help where they're born or how they're born or what they look like so how can you be intolerant towards someone because they're black or Indian or Chinese or Japanese or anything so it doesn't m
ake any sense tolerance is in the will we make decisions not to like these people or that people I know what you're thinking you say mother you're intolerant with liberals no I am not intolerant I'm trying to give them light there's a difference and and tolerance says this is right or wrong but it doesn't have a feeling of hatred see for example have you noticed how hard it is for you to forgive sometime anybody here have a hard time forgiving oh wow how many have a hard time forgiving oh come o
n we know you have a hard time today we do and we we we don't forgive because we're not tolerant we don't make excuses for people isn't that one reason you don't you have a hard time forgiving he would never Dawn on you this person didn't mean it or even didn't know they did it see that's tolerance tolerance if you have a hard time forgiving it isn't always tolerant but ask yourself do I expect too much from people you know some people are perfectionist you ever notice that aren't they pains in
the neck you know they ah I went to somebody's house when I was a kid and and you I went in the front door and uh and the girl I wanted to see came around from the back and she said we don't use the front door I said why it it broke she said no you might get the living room dirty so I well where do I go she says come around this way so we went down the basement and I said where do you live she said well we live upstairs sometimes most the time we're downstairs I said why I can I sneak Your Mothe
r wasn't around I can I sneak upstairs and see how clean it is she said yeah so I went up to it was Immaculate I mean Immaculate as how old is that sofa she's 20 years old it was just just clean as if she just bought it and I thought I went back to my little old Italian grandmother's house I felt so good it was a big spot on the sofa been there as long as I remember it was clean but there was nice big spot you know you could you could take your shoes off and put them right on the sofa my grandma
wouldn't say a word I she would mind if you had mud on your shoes but you know you felt at home in Grandma's house it was the furniture looked pretty beat up and used but that's intolerance you see we get intolerant towards dirt we can be intolerant about anything and and that's what you need to in your in your journey to holiness sometimes intellectuals are intolerance for those who don't have an education one time I went to a convention intolerance can even be in religious our particular orde
r is is um what you call mitigated do you know what that means mitigated well on a on a on a on a ladder we'd be at the Bottom Rung so we're a mitigated order which means it's somewhere in the 18th century um or way back way back in about let's see 1500 something like that girls who didn't have the the physical endurance for a lot of penants and and other things they mitigated the rule they just brought it down a little bit to allow everybody or those who were sickly or those who were not you kn
ow very very penitential to to to live was still hard still difficult but still there were a lot of things they didn't do so I went to this convention and and um this n came up to me and she said um and what rule do you follow I said uh the mitigated rule of urban ivth and she said oh I said what do you mean oh see there's a there sometimes we're so set in our minds and hearts on the way we think things should be the way we think people should be maybe you don't think your husband ought to read
the newspaper at breakfast but maybe that's the only time see here's the difference between intolerance and tolerance here we just read where we should be selfless well if you want to talk to your husband and he this is the only time all day long he has to look at the sports okay so what is the tolerant thing to do let him enjoy it I might have you peek your head over and say hi I had a man tell me one time his wife put the fist through the newspaper I said well I ought to tell you something the
whole thing is though that if you're intolerant you don't look for the good of other people do you ever do you ever see ever wonder about that so well I'm not intolerant I examine yourself see you're not always what is the best for someone else you ever notice you're in a house if you have air conditioning there's always a hot box in every house I not too good at this myself there's always those that are always hot and there's always those always freezing see but if you don't give a little then
you become intolerant of cold or heat sometimes we think intolerance is only for race or color we intolerant towards black or towards Chinese or whatever that's not it how many people are intolerant against the church you know the other day we had Bishop uh Sullivan here from Fargo and Dr mirali and we were talking about the we hope our Holy Father will Define the teaching and the the Church of Mary mediatrix of our Grace and co- redemp we never got so many nasty calls not on the a but in the m
onastery or why would you do that you're intolerant against our lady that she's the mother of God I to look at it on a little simple level when we say our lady is co- Redemption now don't turn me off just listen okay don't be intolerant when we say she's co- redemp from the very first moment of the Incarnation she said yes be it done to me according to thy will what does that mean our lady spent at least 10 years in the in the temple very vers in scripture the Lord doesn't ask you to do anything
if he doesn't give you light to understand so your yes or no is enlightened especially if it's a great Mission like she had so when the angel said you would become the mother of the Son of God she knew exactly from the scriptures what it meant she knew for example that from his birth from his conception to his birth all the way she knew exactly he would become a Man of Sorrows a worm and no man he would be crucified she knew the scriptures you're not talking about a 12year old Doo you're talkin
g about a woman that was prepared to be Mother of God with an intelligence far superior to even the Angels so she knew she knew exactly what kind of sacrifice she was going to have to make and she said yes that quick what what what opposite is today huh a woman goes to the doctor and he said you're going to have a a Down syndrome child they take some kind of test and she aborts it you see the difference between our lady and some of the people the the mentality of today if my child is not going t
o be absolutely perfect I don't want it Mary knew she knew exactly what was going to happen to the the Messiah but she didn't say no some people are Bor their children just because they're going to have a little defect a crippled leg a arm see we're after we're intolerant we're in tolerate even towards our own I see the difference between tolerating something usually when you say somebody tolerates something may they endure it kind of halfhazard or sour you know but that isn't what tolerant mean
s means to accept accept everything that was in the life of Jesus and so we can SA really she co- redemp she not instead of or equals to with there's a marvelous passage in Scripture it says our lady stood beneath the cross why did she stand why wasn't she like any other woman that would have fainted or yelled or screamed she stood silently stood while her son was standing on a tiny piece of wood and she stood with him what does that mean she stood tall it means she accepted did she just accept
everything that happened to Jesus because it happened to him yes she also accepted it for you and me she did she suffered the Pains of Jesus for you and me that's what we mean to me that so logical every mother does that every time a child gets sick last night one of our workmen they couldn't find their son and and it was getting late and dark and and they were hysterical it's a feeling you know a feeling of loss can you say well they didn't Suffer Well they did so this man suffered with his wif
e and this wife suffered with her husband trying to find her child that's go see they suffered together they suffer together their suffering was one suffering because they were so close together and they lost someone they love very much that what it means to be co- redemp she didn't take the place of Jesus she didn't have the same Merit she wasn't not God she is not God she's a human being in which there is unbelievable humility and acceptance that's what tolerance is all about humble people are
always tolerant and they're hard to get along with did you ever notice that Holy people all be hard to get along with they don't think like we think in the in the in the annals of Holy Father Francis brother Juniper was hard to get along with he did things that nobody else would do like for example one of the brothers was dying and um he was hungry for a pig's foot Pig's foot what brother julifer do he goes out he catches one of the neighbors pigs he cuts off the foot and he goes and prepares i
t for the dying brother I think I pick something else but anyway well when the farmer found a pig with three legs he just had a fit just a fit so he he knew exactly who did it see he knew it was this brother Juniper so he brings this poor main pig to the monastery and he calls the superior oh he gave it to him he said that crazy brother julifer cut off one of my pigs foot and so the Abbot you know the minister Jerry call his brother J he said did you cut off this man's pigs for he said yes fathe
r said why would you do such a crazy thing oh father he said our brother was dying and he was so hungry for a pigs foot and I knew this farmer was a very kind man a very churchable I said he wouldn't mind if F Pig had one less foot well that isn't exactly what the farmer thought but he he was so uh he was so taken up with brother's humility he said to the F the ministry said here take it have it for supper well the superior wasn't very tolerant and so he yelled so hard at brother Juniper he got
horse and brother what did Brother Juniper do he s so sorry for his Superior can you imagine that and he know it was around midnight and he thought I feel so bad he scolded me so bad he got horse I think my I had to go make him some hot porridge so we goes he's got a great big bowl of hot porridge at 2:00 in the morning he wpes up his Superior knock knock well the superior comes and all he could see is that face of brother juder and he said and what do you want Oh father he said I noticed today
you scolded me so harshly and so much that you got horse and I was thinking as I lie in bed how much pain you must have and I made you a little hot porridge at 2:00 in a boing well I know this looks like exaggerated but it isn't it's something that's exasperating but see if you're having problems with your neighbor your family your husband your wife your children before you blame everything and everybody ask yourself how do I handle exasperation are you never supposed to be angry I think not how
dear Lord was angry at the money changers are you never supposed to be upset or impatient I don't think so but so often were these things unnecessarily huh you ever get mad at somebody just for some little thing sometime you don't like the way people comb their hair and today you go down the street you know I I wonder how many people stay awake all night wondering how miserable they can make somebody's hair look did you ever notice I saw a young boy the other day this high this part was shaven
and he had a long hair here all down to his back about that much of it and this part was shaving halfway and I said to somebody is is that what you call a skin head and they said oh no that's the Style Style you mean he paid for that yeah he paid quite a lot for it and and see we're we're we're I don't know we do strange things today and and it's partly I I guess we're intolerant towards what's good and holy we're not tolerant towards what's just normal we know we have a hatred for what's normal
I mean why can't a boy have just hair on his head I mean just whatever God gave him you know and just cut it off in the right spots why why is it that you have to mutilate it and then I I I I I couldn't get over that and then I I looked at this one woman and she looked very nice very clean and neatly dressed but it looked like her her clothes were put in a dry ringer they were like this it were all wrinkled and I said uh do they do that on purpose or they didn't get up late this [Laughter] morn
ing oh no you pay a big price for wrinkle clothes say oh my grandmother would have died if we wore wrinkled clothes then I went to the store not too long after that by goly they were racks racks of wrinkled clothes and I noticed a pair of pants that's what you call what you wear trousers whatever you were one leg was shorter than the [Laughter] other and I I isn't that funny though don't you think that's you can accept that huh you just think well that's a style but I was wish I if I had time yo
u know I would have waited to see who bought that one pair but see we're we're not tolerant anymore about what is good and holy and ordinary see we we wear wrinkled clothes we wear spoted clothes the best thing I ever saw was blue jeans that look like you wore them a long time all freid at the bottom and and great big white spots like you bleached them in the wrong place and I said to this person uh do they buy those I said I could have given them free when I was a kid see there there is an into
lerance see we're not even there's an honesty to intolerance see I you know what I think those things are and I know it's a style and this is my opinion see my in opinion when you do things is you mock the poor who have to wear things so long they're Jagged and ragged and they have big holes in the knees just from where and and poverty and then we spend all kinds of money for things like that see it's a kind of intolerance that really hits your heart one time about four or five teenagers came al
ong they had a great big beautiful red car wow and uh it looked brand new they come in and want to know what we did and who we were and so I spent a good hour an hour and a half with them and so I I just chitchat and I said are you happy at home they said no oh I said why not and um this young boy said my mother and father are fakes I said how so said well they go to church every Sunday but they don't live the right life and he went on and on and on and I said uh is that your car out there he he
said yeah I who bought it for you he said it's my mother and father for my birthday I said oh I said did you wear these uh blue jeans out or you buy them that way he said we bought him that way I said join the club you're also a fake because you criticize your parents for buying you a new car and you pretend you're poor and you're not but who's fake well they left but they never came back but you see let's examine ourselves if you're having a hard time at the office getting along with this one
and that one ask yourself am I in tolerant do I allow my brother and sister to be what they are at the moment oh sure we all need repentance we all need change we all need renewal in our hearts first of all we all need to be perfected we all need to be purified but what is it about your neighbor the person you work with people you work with your husband your wife what is it that you are intolerant about we have a call hello hello Mother where are you from Diberville Mississippi and what is your
question I wanted to ask you one of the priests at our Parish this week at the daily mass referred to the Holy Spirit as a she and also before communion instead of saying happy are those who are called to his supper he'll say meal and I interpret it as like trying trying to Spur us or something and where do you draw the line between being tolerant to this and then having to stand up and doing something about the you know I would call heresy thank you well I'm going to pretend Cardinal lonte isn'
t [Laughter] here it's this inclusive language they start putting in here and there you see one we got to be very careful when we take the sacrifice out of the mass you take the mass out of the sacrifice the mass is a sacrifice and when they start with the meal the supper and it is a meal but it is also made most important a sacrifice Jesus sacrificed on the cross for me and for you we die with him daily we take up our cross daily I think there is a difference between between tolerance and sayin
g well let everything go for example if your child was on drugs it is not tolerance not to correct them correction is a part of being tolerant which means you love this person so much that you want him to get away from the wrong direction and come in the right direction see if I were you can become intolerant in correct by being harsh with your correction by letting that person know you not only dislike what he did but you dislike that one person see you got to divorce from your correction the p
erson that did they committed the sin so you hate the sin but you love The Sinner that's what tolerance is intolerance is when you hate both it's also Pride you see the Pharisee was intolerant I tithe I fast and I sure glad I'm not like this man behind me that's oh that's a essence of intolerance he rash judged it is Charity on your part to go and tell him that this is wrong he has no permission from anybody to use inclusive language in the consecration that's that's not right and you love him l
ess see by letting him go we have another call hello hi Mother where are you from Los Angeles wonderful what what's your question well you made this a special day for me I got through to rush limbo this morning I get to talk to you this afternoon I also turn in a bunch of petitions to our local cable company here in uh Los Angeles and um I think in June we might get you on our C wonderful keep that okay dear um my question was we were talking about the mother mother U Co redemptor mother redemp
co- rmst and I think that title belongs to everyone who carries Christ to other people and I think we need Modern Day Saints and people to consider themselves that way I think we all participate in and giving Christ's message to other people and and and so doing that makes say co- rempt well our in in St Paul's epistle he says this is a wicked generation in your lives should redeem it say what does that mean there's nothing you can add to the sufferings of Jesus he is the only one and only Redee
mer but we add our part by our example we help our neighbor to suffer more when suffering is come his way we help to save Souls we even help those poor souls in purgatory you see we imitate Jesus he offered himself for mankind we offer ourselves for poor Sinners and and St Paul said that we should we should suffer for what is wanting in the sufferings of je but there's nothing wanting God is infinite we're finite you see but it means add to be with that's what it mean and when we talk about our
lady co- Redemption mediat of our Grace we say with Jesus she suffered with Jesus the most perfect way the apostles left they ran away um John stuck around because he loved our lady he was feeling sorry for her and he loved the Lord in a very special way uh one denied him one betrayed him Mary stood the whole way see the others later on began to understand the role of suffering especially the disciples going to OS our Lord pered and they didn't even see him they didn't even recognize him he said
wasn't it necessary for for the Messiah to suffer and he went through the scriptures and they said their heart burned within them see and and so you have to realize that we all suffer for mankind and the more evil Humanity becomes the more corrupt the more it fly away from the Lord the more it it rejects Jesus and and the father and the Commandments the more we're going to suffer it goes together thank you we have another call hello hello hi hi how old are you seven and what is your question um
sometimes um I get mad at my brother but they're like I like freeze and then I pray and then I sort of like forget about it [Laughter] you get you forget to pray for your brother is that what you do no I like say a prayer and then I just like forget forget about like what I did to my brother oh well she when you get angry at some you're seven you're getting angry already that's okay swe I got angry when I was three I told my grandmother to shut up that she was all the time talking you know I re
member it today even I mean I've mentioned it several times but see if you get angry at your brother and then you pray and you ask Jesus to forgive you then you need to forget you need to apologize to your brother then you need to forget this past offense and go forward with renewed confidence here many times people make a big mistake once they do something no matter what it is then what happens is we keep thinking backwards why did I do that and I shouldn't have done it and and why did I always
why do I always do this I I saw it coming I didn't listen you're sorry you told Jesus you're sorry it was a biggie you went to confession drop it drop it and see sometimes it's a lack of Tolerance huh when we we get angry at people maybe your brother was paying with a little playing with a little car and you wanted to play with them and he wouldn't let you do it see the lack of talents see there's there's great power in prayer to strengthen our tolerance I have to say Jesus I was very in tolera
nt today I get mad at the kids cuz they're always coming in with Muddy feet well I correct them over and over nobody still come in with my defeat next time I'll lock the door then I can be tolerant and they can wash their feet we have another call hello yes hello Mother Anda where are you from uh from New Jersey and what is your question uh it's more of a statement and to ask for your help were to try to have all of the people who listen to the show uh maybe perhaps move in a Grassroots effort u
m I just received a notification today and you're speaking about religious intolerance and I received a notification that the federal government has announced its intention to ban relig religious speech in the workplace and these it is through the E the eeo commission which is the equal opportunities Employment Commission and these regulations will prohibit the expression of religion in places of employment including displays of religious symbols such as crosses and things of this nature right t
here's a tremendous amount of intolerance coming on everywhere this country is built on a freedom of religion it's true you wouldn't even be able to have a little sacred art badge in your car because then You' be harassing somebody that passes by and looks at that's how unreasonable we can get you see so it's coming and and I think just as a lot of letters and phone calls prohibited the the the the rule of the law of forbidding home school I think if you want to continue wearing your medals and
having a a a little St Anthony on your desk and and having something on your car which is really an American thing we've always done that then I think you need to write as soon as possible to your Congressman your your right to the government write anywhere and call cuz once we start that it's just very very not too far away that you can't Worship in the way you want to so be careful now the world is changing so rapidly sometimes we don't want to see it but you have to face it and you have to ge
t involved we we have another call hello hello Mother Angelica where are you from uh Hann M and what is your question uh how do you stay sane in an insane world how do you what stay sane in an insane world how you stay sane in an insane world you love Jesus that's how you stay sane in an insane world you you see a higher being um that has a whole thing in his hand see you also have to remember that everything that happens in the world um is either ordained or permitted by God I believe in purifi
cation I really do I don't think we can kill babies the way we do and now we're trying to uh justify suicide and now we have assisting a suicide and um we're telling God every day wa wa we don't want you we don't want do with you and and and the more we do that the worse we're going to get see there's a lack of not only tolerance but compassion and love and and I think you need to understand the worst purification in the world is when God doesn't purify you when he doesn't for the simple reason
that we just go down down down and the first thing you know we don't even act like human beings we act like animals and and that's what's happening today you see sex among eighth graders and teenagers and and we just go on and on and on and on and say we never have the courage that comes from God himself to face the reality and see this is wrong this is against the law of God we're very diplomatic I don't know I could never be a diplomat a diplomat to me is somebody who says a lot but you hav th
e slightest idea what he said and you go away you say isn't that wonderful but you scratch in your head you know as if to say well he wasn't angry but he wasn't nice and he wasn't in between I didn't get what I wanted but he didn't say no either so by the time you leave you haven't and that's a diplomat they they just have a knack and train that way I don't know how you train train to say a lot everybody walks away thinking they got an answer they had the faintest idea what you said well we can'
t do that anymore see you really can't it's like a little hole in the ground and you keep forgetting it and you don't do anything about it and it rains it gets bigger and bigger and bigger and the first thing you know you're going to fall in it see that's about what it is see it's like if somebody said there's no hole there really no see over here it's nice and solid but the whole gets bigger remember the little the little uh thing about the king who had no clothes and everybody said word that h
as a beautiful clothes and this little kid said haha the king is naked he was the only one that face the truth the only one that said it so I I would be very careful today the more you let go the harder is going to be to get it back that's why television Catholic Television is so important and this wonderful Cardinal is here tonight is going to have cision in Puerto Rico and we're going to help him get it there because without television and radio to keep you enlightened as to what does God expe
ct of you not what this person or that person or this political party or what this organization what does God want from you we have another call hello uh hello Mother Angelica yeah where you from um I'm from Maryland and what is your question well there was it's not really a question it's um two things that I wanted to mention to you um the first was about tolerance what you were talking about tonight tolerance yeah um is about uh my husband and myself and um I we knew before we got married that
there was a lot about us that was uh incompatible and um over the years I I guess I went on a little spiritual growth I guess you could say my prayers used to be God change him just change him I can't stand him you know and it grew into a prayer that's now um Lord uh please help me to love him more that's better yeah and instead of wanting to change him I think that's a beautiful prayer because many times our intolerance is is what makes us so impatient with other people we have to love other p
eople the way they are at this moment knowing knowing they have to get better knowing they have to change you see you can't love people and wait for them to change you want to end up loving anybody see you have to love people as they are right now hoping hoping they'll be better but hoping you'll be better and I think what helped you the most is that Perpetual iteration you to see when you go before the blessed I can't say that often enough no matter what kind of problems are in this world there
's only two things are going to change you adoration before the Blessed Sacrament prayer before the Blessed Sacrament Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament processions to the Blessed Sacrament and love for our sweet mother if we don't get those two things back in our lives in our churches in our country you can call it quits call it quits we have another call hello hello hi where you from from faar H Alabama and what is your question well I I find myself very intolerant um at Mass sometimes uh just
as an example during the Our Father a woman next to me she grabbed my hand and uh toward the end of the Our Father she started to lift her hands high and I I kind of found myself in an arm wrestle with her and I found myself feeling very resentful and uh I was just wondering you know um why don't people I was just wondering why they don't use more common sense during lergy and honor some sensitivities here I it just you know it really wrecks things for me right before communion yeah come to our
church we say the whole thing in Latin I I understand I I really do um that's I it you know it kind of goes both ways I think and I I think if you are tolerant you can let her hold your hand up there but you see so often we we have taken away the awesomeness of the mass we have taken away that mystique and now we're just all buddy buddies see and and I think that's I think it's beautiful to know that I am there with my neighbor that we are the church that that but we also have to know that we ar
e present at a mass in which the the Son of God the Eternal Word comes down in the most wondrous miracle in the world and and the body blood soul the real presence of Jesus come down and and you got to get rid of all this honky Tony business you know you you you just we we put up balloons and we we we just Pat each other on the back but look if you're mad at somebody for goodness say say so before Mass you know the the the the gospel says if you have something about your brother before you go to
the altar ask for forgiveness well you know where I think the kiss of piece ought to be let me tell you anyway it ought to be ad doitory that's where you you you offer your gift well before you offer your gift the scripture says be reconciled with your brother but if if you're looking at your neighbor and you know you're going to have an arm wrestle with her in just about 10 minutes you see even though you say how how are you I love you you don't mean it in your heart see we got to get back to
that awesome reverence at the mass see we don't have that anymore we just kind of I don't know we stomp our feet clap our heads and all that's fine in the right place but do you think anybody stomped their feet and clapped their hands on Calvary the only ones that made noise were the Pharisees come down from the cross if you're so great and they we'll believe you see and I don't mean to criticize those who have beautiful masses or guitar masses or anything it's just said that's a place for awe i
t's a place for silence silence there's no silence anymore you they walk in like a bunch of I don't know what you think you're at a picnic or something and they walk out hello Mr Jones how are you hey you just went to M you just received the body and blood of Jesus can't you keep your mouth shut for two minutes so I I think there's where we we need to we need to to examine ourselves and say look I I'm at Mass see our communities both the brothers and ourselves have began to prostrate Mass becaus
e that's what the Angels do if you could see the Angels just once at Mass they be be no more Shenanigans when when those when that Bell Rings for the consecration every angel in those churches prostrate and you know you can prove that by Our Lady of Fatima do you remember the angel that appeared to them huh before our lady did and he held up the Blessed Sacrament and in the in the monstr of the chalice and then he came down and he prostrated himself and said this beautiful prayer see w we have t
o get back to that and you know once we get back to the real essence of the mass and once we get back to Jesus in our hearts once we get back to that realization I bear within me the father Son and Holy Spirit and so do you when we get that back then we'll have respect for each other and then when we go to mass we will already have loved each other and then we see that awesome sacrifice he died just for me and no matter how many troubles you have how many heartaches when you realize he died just
for you and you attend that every Mass makes a difference in your life I know I know well I've enjoyed being with you tonight and we've got a lot of our family here tonight that we love and just so you don't think I'm getting old remember put this between your gas and electric bill so I can annoy you further I love you see you [Applause] tomorrow [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] oh
