Amen 🙏

bro i love the little kids

IF YOU ARE IN MR MCABE'S CLASS HERE ARE THE ANSWERS:
1. What are the 4 classical substitutes for God we readily employ?

Wealth, pleasure, power and honor.

2. What is concupiscence? What is Bishop Barron's reason for bringing this up?

The classical spiritual tradition refer to the desire for God. He brings it up to show the similarities with addiction in modern day.

3. Explain how Bishop Barron elaborates on the first Beatitude: the Poor in Spirit.

It is neither a romanticizing of economic poverty nor a demonization of wealth but rather a formula for detachment.

4. What will become to purpose of material things when you become detached from them?

Not only will you not become addicted to material things you will in fact be able to use them with great effectiveness for God's purposes.

5. Why did JJR Tolkien use a ring of power as the central talisman of his story?

He proposed as the most tempting talisman precisely a ring of power. When you're detached from worldly power then you can follow the will of God even if it means walking a path of extreme powerlessness.

6. Detached from worldly power, what to the meek become the conduit of?

Meek un addicted to worldly power, becomes a conduit of true divine power to the world.

7. Summarize what St. Thomas Aquinas says about the relationship between the Beatitudes and the Crucifixion.

St. Thomas Aquinas is saying that Jesus' will is in the Beatitudes. He says to look at the Crucifixion for the perfect explanation for the beatitudes.

Thank you Father ^^ And peace be with you 😊

Who was it who decided to interpret Matt 5 in this way? This interpretation does make sense to our modern ear but the people who lived at the time of Christ would have heard this very differently. Remember, the world was living under the old Covenant. Jesus had not yet died for the sins of the world and He had definitely not restored the Holy Spirit to us. If you read Matt. 5: 3 through the lens of Deut. 28, you’ll find that a better interpretation would be, ‘Blessed are you when you sin.’ That’s how the people hearing Jesus’ words would have understood Him. Please read Deut. 28. Read through it multiple times and you’ll soon understand Matt. 5 in a more accurate way. God bless.

Beatitudes/Detachment: desiring all available through the infinite …Kingdom of God…to have the strength to do the Lord’s Will in this finite being. Lord Have Mercy …🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

I mourn for our species, that was given a garden and we have paved it. Live good lives and enjoy them, for they will be among the last few generations of humanity to have them and I doubt God will interceded in the ramifications to come of our folly.

Jesuit Freemasons fraudulent teaching thus where there is abominations to the sacerdotal going forth and of all history since the original creation of civilization is on your heads

Thank you

Blessed are those with peaceful hearts for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are you when you hunger and thirst for goodness and for contact with the Father within you, because then you will surely be filled up a hundred times over.

Blessed are you when you are attacked and robbed because you will see God-in-action when you stand still in perfect trust and see deliverance taking place.

Blessed are you when you are caught up in conflict, yet you can still care about your fellow man and be the peace maker. You carry the Love in your heart which is of the Father and you are truly a child of the Father.

Blessed are you when you have been deeply wronged by another yet can forgive and can show mercy, abstaining from seeking justice or the means to persecute him. You put yourself directly in harmony with the Love which is God-active-within you and even so will you be spared in times of trouble.

Most blessed of all are the pure in heart, for such as these have rid themselves of all anger, hatred, vindictiveness, unkindness, envy, hardness of heart and stand before the world as Love-made-visible. They will know the Reality of God and they will know the Reality is the Father within them.

This is bs 😂😂😂

Detachment from worldly things! Not hate them, instead "use them for God's purposes" ... the key to heaven.

Great insights! May I remember them always!

Religion and politics often make some people lose all perspective and give way to ranting and raving and carrying on like emotional children. They either refuse to discuss it with reason or else they prefer argumentum ad hominem, which is a hell of a way to conduct a discussion. Well, anyhow, not long ago I was talking about the elections and how the campaigns were ignoring the issues and sticking instead to invective and personal crap that had nothing to do with the substantive problems of running a government (which is all true as you know if you followed the speeches and so-called debates of the candidates). Anyhow, one of the guys I was talking with said not a word in the whole conversation except at the end when he suddenly chuckled and said we were all full of sh*t and why didn't we all go live in Russia or China if that was the way we all hated the United States of America! Next thing you know, the whole blooming discussion is more like a brawl and the epithets flew thick and fast and the noise was incredible! Someone said "son of a bitch" and I think he said "bastard!" (I couldn't be sure; it was all so confusing.) Well, anyhow, I was attempting to get it all back on a rational level. I tried, for example, to talk to the one who had started it all and I asked him just what did he mean we were all full of sh*t? Was he making a statement of fact as he knew it and where was his documentation to back up his claim? I think Socrates would have been proud of the way I refuted his argument. That is, I tried to refute it. But all he could offer by way of rebuttal was more of the same: about how we were all full of sh*t. But he wouldn't say why; he just kept on repeating it. That and the part about Russia and China and Communist dupes. And I'll have to confess that I got a bit angry and told him to stuff his ideas up his ass (which you don't have to tell me is hardly a way to convince anyone in an argument). Then he got salty and threatened to give me a punch in the mouth if I didn't shut up. And I really got hot and the others did, too. And we all beat the sh*t out of Mr. Conservative. And, after all, he had only himself to be blamed. This is still a free country and anyone telling a fellow like me "brother, you're full of sh*t" better be good and ready to answer politely when asked if he'd care to say WHY!

Profound message, thanks be to our God.

Very profound.

Wow the path to becoming whole🙏🏾. Beautifully explained

Jesus is the personification of the Beatitudes.

That’s swag money

I agree with Ms Sarah, Very Clear and Concise not any tributary subject matter.
Thank you!
