  • Freedom Has a Father
    Reading 1http://usccb.org/bible/daniel/3:14 (DN 3:14-20, 91-92, 95)King Nebuchadnezzar said:
    “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
    that you will not serve my god,
    or worship the golden statue that I set up?
    Be ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made,
    whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet,
    flute, lyre, harp, psaltery, bagpipe,
    and all the other musical instruments;
    otherwise, you shall be instantly cast into the white-hot furnace;
    and who is the God who can deliver you out of my hands?”
    Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered King Nebuchadnezzar,
    “There is no need for us to defend ourselves before you
    in this matter.
    If our God, whom we serve,
    can save us from the white-hot furnace
    and from your hands, O king, may he save us!
    But even if he will not, know, O king,
    that we will not serve your god
    or worship the golden statue that you set up.”
    King Nebuchadnezzar’s face became livid with utter rage
    against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
    He ordered the furnace to be heated seven times more than usual
    and had some of the strongest men in his army
    bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
    and cast them into the white-hot furnace.
    Nebuchadnezzar rose in haste and asked his nobles,
    “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?”
    “Assuredly, O king,” they answered.
    “But,” he replied, “I see four men unfettered and unhurt,
    walking in the fire, and the fourth looks like a son of God.”
    Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed,
    “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
    who sent his angel to deliver the servants who trusted in him;
    they disobeyed the royal command and yielded their bodies
    rather than serve or worship any god
    except their own God.”
    Responsorial Psalmhttp://usccb.org/bible/daniel/3:52 (DANIEL 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56)R. (52b) Glory and praise for ever!
    “Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers,
    praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;
    And blessed is your holy and glorious name,
    praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.”
    R. Glory and praise for ever!
    “Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory,

    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/john/8:31 (JN 8:31-42)Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him,
    “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples,
    and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
    They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham
    and have never been enslaved to anyone.
    How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”
    Jesus answered them, “Amen, amen, I say to you,
    everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
    A slave does not remain in a household forever,
    but a son always remains.
    So if the Son frees you, then you will truly be free.
    I know that you are descendants of Abraham.
    But you are trying to kill me,
    because my word has no room among you.
    I tell you what I have seen in the Father’s presence;
    then do what you have heard from the Father.”
    They answered and said to him, “Our father is Abraham.”
    Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children,
    you would be doing the works of Abraham.
    But now you are trying to kill me,
    a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God;
    Abraham did not do this.
    You are doing the works of your father!”
    So they said to him, “We were not born of fornication.
    We have one Father, God.”

    Reading 1http://usccb.org/bible/hosea/6:1 (HOS 6:1-6)“Come, let us return to the LORD,
    it is he who has rent, but he will heal us;
    he has struck us, but he will bind our wounds.
    He will revive us after two days;
    on the third day he will raise us up,
    to live in his presence.
    Let us know, let us strive to know the LORD;
    as certain as the dawn is his coming,
    and his judgment shines forth like the light of day!
    He will come to us like the rain,
    like spring rain that waters the earth.”
    What can I do with you, Ephraim?
    What can I do with you, Judah?
    Your piety is like a morning cloud,
    like the dew that early passes away.
    For this reason I smote them through the prophets,
    I slew them by the words of my mouth;
    For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice,
    and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
    Responsorial Psalmhttp://usccb.org/bible/psalms/51:3 (51:3-4, 18-19, 20-21AB)R. (see Hosea 6:6) It is mercy I desire, and not sacrifice.
    Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
    in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
    Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
    and of my sin cleanse me.
    R. It is mercy I desire, and not sacrifice.
    For you are not pleased with sacrifices;
    should I offer a burnt offering, you would not accept it.
    My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;
    a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
    R. It is mercy I desire, and not sacrifice.
    Be bountiful, O LORD, to Zion in your kindness
    by rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem;
    Then shall you be pleased with due sacrifices,
    burnt offerings and holocausts.
    R. It is mercy I desire, and not sacrifice.
    Verse Before The Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/psalms/95:8 (PS 95:8)If today you hear his voice,
    harden not your hearts.
    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/luke/18:9 (LK 18:9-14)Jesus addressed this parable
    to those who were convinced of their own righteousness
    and despised everyone else.
    “Two people went up to the temple area to pray;
    one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
    The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself,
    ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity —
    greedy, dishonest, adulterous — or even like this tax collector.
    I fast twice a week,
    and I pay tithes on my whole income.’
    But the tax collector stood off at a distance
    and would not even raise his eyes to heaven
    but beat his breast and prayed,
    ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
    I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former;
    for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
    and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

  • New Creation
    Reading 1http://usccb.org/bible/isaiah/65:17 (IS 65:17-21)Thus says the LORD:
    Lo, I am about to create new heavens
    and a new earth;
    The things of the past shall not be remembered
    or come to mind.
    Instead, there shall always be rejoicing and happiness
    in what I create;
    For I create Jerusalem to be a joy
    and its people to be a delight;
    I will rejoice in Jerusalem
    and exult in my people.
    No longer shall the sound of weeping be heard there,
    or the sound of crying;
    No longer shall there be in it
    an infant who lives but a few days,
    or an old man who does not round out his full lifetime;
    He dies a mere youth who reaches but a hundred years,
    and he who fails of a hundred shall be thought accursed.
    They shall live in the houses they build,
    and eat the fruit of the vineyards they plant.
    Responsorial Psalmhttp://usccb.org/bible/psalms/30:2 (30:2 AND 4, 5-6, 11-12A AND 13B)R. (2a) I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear
    and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
    O LORD, you brought me up from the nether world;
    you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
    R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
    and give thanks to his holy name.
    For his anger lasts but a moment;
    a lifetime, his good will.
    At nightfall, weeping enters in,
    but with the dawn, rejoicing.
    R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    “Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
    O LORD, be my helper.”
    You changed my mourning into dancing;
    O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
    R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
    Verse Before The Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/amos/5:14 (AM 5:14)Seek good and not evil so that you may live,
    and the LORD will be with you.
    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/john/4:43 (JN 4:43-54)At that time Jesus left [Samaria] for Galilee.
    For Jesus himself testified
    that a prophet has no honor in his native place.
    When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him,
    since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast;
    for they themselves had gone to the feast.
    Then he returned to Cana in Galilee,
    where he had made the water wine.
    Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum.
    When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,
    he went to him and asked him to come down
    and heal his son, who was near death.
    Jesus said to him,
    “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
    The royal official said to him,
    “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
    Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.”
    The man believed what Jesus said to him and left.
    While the man was on his way back,
    his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live.
    He asked them when he began to recover.
    They told him,
    “The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon.”
    The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him,
    “Your son will live,”
    and he and his whole household came to believe.
    Now this was the second sign Jesus did
    when he came to Galilee from Judea.

  • Living the Love
    Reading 1http://usccb.org/bible/deuteronomy/4:1 (DT 4:1, 5-9)Moses spoke to the people and said:
    “Now, Israel, hear the statutes and decrees
    which I am teaching you to observe,
    that you may live, and may enter in and take possession of the land
    which the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
    Therefore, I teach you the statutes and decrees
    as the LORD, my God, has commanded me,
    that you may observe them in the land you are entering to occupy.
    Observe them carefully,
    for thus will you give evidence
    of your wisdom and intelligence to the nations,
    who will hear of all these statutes and say,
    ‘This great nation is truly a wise and intelligent people.’
    For what great nation is there
    that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us
    whenever we call upon him?
    Or what great nation has statutes and decrees
    that are as just as this whole law
    which I am setting before you today?
    “However, take care and be earnestly on your guard
    not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen,
    nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live,
    but teach them to your children and to your children’s children.”
    Responsorial Psalmhttp://usccb.org/bible/psalms/147:12 (147:12-13, 15-16, 19-20)R. (12a) Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem;
    praise your God, O Zion.
    For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;
    he has blessed your children within you.
    R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    He sends forth his command to the earth;
    swiftly runs his word!
    He spreads snow like wool;
    frost he strews like ashes.
    R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,
    his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
    He has not done thus for any other nation;
    his ordinances he has not made known to them.
    R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
    Verse Before The Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/john/6:63 (JN 6:63C, 68C)Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life;
    you have the words of everlasting life.
    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/matthew/5:17 (MT 5:17-19)Jesus said to his disciples:
    “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.
    I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.
    Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away,
    not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter
    will pass from the law,
    until all things have taken place.
    Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments
    and teaches others to do so
    will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.
    But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments
    will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”

    I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins,
    and I will make his kingdom firm.
    It is he who shall build a house for my name.

    Reading 2http://usccb.org/bible/romans/4:13 (ROM 4:13, 16-18, 22)Brothers and sisters:
    It was not through the law
    that the promise was made to Abraham and his descendants
    that he would inherit the world,
    but through the righteousness that comes from faith.
    For this reason, it depends on faith,
    so that it may be a gift,
    and the promise may be guaranteed to all his descendants,
    not to those who only adhere to the law
    but to those who follow the faith of Abraham,
    who is the father of all of us, as it is written,
    I have made you father of many nations.
    He is our father in the sight of God,
    in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead
    and calls into being what does not exist.
    He believed, hoping against hope,
    that he would become the father of many nations,
    according to what was said, Thus shall your descendants be.
    That is why it was credited to him as righteousness.

    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/matthew/1:16 (MT 1:16, 18-21, 24A)Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary.
    Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.
    Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
    When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
    but before they lived together,
    she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
    Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
    yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
    decided to divorce her quietly.
    Such was his intention when, behold,
    the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
    “Joseph, son of David,
    do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
    For it is through the Holy Spirit
    that this child has been conceived in her.
    She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
    because he will save his people from their sins.”
    When Joseph awoke,
    he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him
    and took his wife into his home.

    After they had completed its days, as they were returning,

    Reading 1http://usccb.org/bible/1samuel/16:1 (1 SM 16:1B, 6-7, 10-13A)The LORD said to Samuel:
    “Fill your horn with oil, and be on your way.
    I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem,
    for I have chosen my king from among his sons.”
    As Jesse and his sons came to the sacrifice,
    Samuel looked at Eliab and thought,
    “Surely the LORD’s anointed is here before him.”
    But the LORD said to Samuel:
    “Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature,
    because I have rejected him.
    Not as man sees does God see,
    because man sees the appearance
    but the LORD looks into the heart.”
    In the same way Jesse presented seven sons before Samuel,
    but Samuel said to Jesse,
    “The LORD has not chosen any one of these.”
    Then Samuel asked Jesse,
    “Are these all the sons you have?”
    Jesse replied,
    “There is still the youngest, who is tending the sheep.”
    Samuel said to Jesse,
    “Send for him;
    we will not begin the sacrificial banquet until he arrives here.”
    Jesse sent and had the young man brought to them.
    He was ruddy, a youth handsome to behold
    and making a splendid appearance.
    The LORD said,
    “There—anoint him, for this is the one!”
    Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand,
    anointed David in the presence of his brothers;
    and from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David.

    Live as children of light,
    for light produces every kind of goodness
    and righteousness and truth.
    Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
    Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness;
    rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention
    the things done by them in secret;
    but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
    for everything that becomes visible is light.

    that he was born blind?”
    Jesus answered,
    “Neither he nor his parents sinned;
    it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him.
    We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day.
    Night is coming when no one can work.
    While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

    or make void your covenant.
    Do not take away your mercy from us,

    Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one,
    To whom you promised to multiply their offspring

    or the sand on the shore of the sea.
    For we are reduced, O Lord, beyond any other nation,
    brought low everywhere in the world this day
    because of our sins.
    We have in our day no prince, prophet, or leader,
    no burnt offering, sacrifice, oblation, or incense,
    no place to offer first fruits, to find favor with you.
    But with contrite heart and humble spirit
    let us be received;

    for I am gracious and merciful.
    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/matthew/18:21 (MT 18:21-35)Peter approached Jesus and asked him,
    “Lord, if my brother sins against me,
    how often must I forgive him?
    As many as seven times?”
    Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.
    That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king
    who decided to settle accounts with his servants.
    When he began the accounting,
    a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount.
    Since he had no way of paying it back,
    his master ordered him to be sold,
    along with his wife, his children, and all his property,
    in payment of the debt.
    At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said,
    ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’
    Moved with compassion the master of that servant
    let him go and forgave him the loan.
    When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants
    who owed him a much smaller amount.
    He seized him and started to choke him, demanding,
    ‘Pay back what you owe.’
    Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him,
    ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’
    But he refused.
    Instead, he had him put in prison
    until he paid back the debt.
    Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened,
    they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master
    and reported the whole affair.
    His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant!
    I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to.
    Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant,
    as I had pity on you?’
    Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers
    until he should pay back the whole debt.
    So will my heavenly Father do to you,
    unless each of you forgives your brother from your heart.”

  • Be Merciful
    Reading 1http://usccb.org/bible/daniel/9:4 (DN 9:4B-10)“Lord, great and awesome God,
    you who keep your merciful covenant toward those who love you
    and observe your commandments!
    We have sinned, been wicked and done evil;
    we have rebelled and departed from your commandments and your laws.
    We have not obeyed your servants the prophets,
    who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes,
    our fathers, and all the people of the land.
    Justice, O Lord, is on your side;
    we are shamefaced even to this day:
    we, the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem,
    and all Israel, near and far,
    in all the countries to which you have scattered them
    because of their treachery toward you.
    O LORD, we are shamefaced, like our kings, our princes, and our fathers,
    for having sinned against you.
    But yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness!
    Yet we rebelled against you
    and paid no heed to your command, O LORD, our God,
    to live by the law you gave us through your servants the prophets.”
    Responsorial Psalmhttp://usccb.org/bible/psalms/79:8 (79:8, 9, 11 AND 13)R. (see 103:10a) Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
    Remember not against us the iniquities of the past;
    may your compassion quickly come to us,
    for we are brought very low.
    R. Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
    Help us, O God our savior,
    because of the glory of your name;
    Deliver us and pardon our sins
    for your name’s sake.
    R. Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
    Let the prisoners’ sighing come before you;
    with your great power free those doomed to death.
    Then we, your people and the sheep of your pasture,
    will give thanks to you forever;
    through all generations we will declare your praise.
    R. Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.

    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/luke/6:36 (LK 6:36-38)Jesus said to his disciples:
    “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
    “Stop judging and you will not be judged.
    Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
    Forgive and you will be forgiven.
    Give and gifts will be given to you;
    a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
    will be poured into your lap.
    For the measure with which you measure
    will in return be measured out to you.”

    Reading 1http://usccb.org/bible/deuteronomy/26:16 (DT 26:16-19)Moses spoke to the people, saying:
    “This day the LORD, your God,
    commands you to observe these statutes and decrees.
    Be careful, then,
    to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.
    Today you are making this agreement with the LORD:
    he is to be your God and you are to walk in his ways
    and observe his statutes, commandments and decrees,
    and to hearken to his voice.
    And today the LORD is making this agreement with you:
    you are to be a people peculiarly his own, as he promised you;
    and provided you keep all his commandments,
    he will then raise you high in praise and renown and glory
    above all other nations he has made,
    and you will be a people sacred to the LORD, your God,
    as he promised.”
    Responsorial Psalmhttp://usccb.org/bible/psalms/119:1 (119:1-2, 4-5, 7-8)R. (1b) Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
    Blessed are they whose way is blameless,
    who walk in the law of the LORD.
    Blessed are they who observe his decrees,
    who seek him with all their heart.
    R. Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
    You have commanded that your precepts
    be diligently kept.
    Oh, that I might be firm in the ways
    of keeping your statutes!
    R. Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
    I will give you thanks with an upright heart,
    when I have learned your just ordinances.
    I will keep your statutes;
    do not utterly forsake me.
    R. Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!

    behold, now is the day of salvation.
    Gospelhttp://usccb.org/bible/matthew/5:43 (MT 5:43-48)Jesus said to his disciples:
    “You have heard that it was said,
    You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
    But I say to you, love your enemies,
    and pray for those who persecute you,
    that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
    for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
    and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
    For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
    Do not the tax collectors do the same?
    And if you greet your brothers and sisters only,
    what is unusual about that?
    Do not the pagans do the same?
    So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Few Catholic priests can be relied on today to tell us anything in their homilies other than to love everybody, have a group hug, hold hands, sing Kumbaya, and open your wallet because the parish needs money. Fr. Timothy Foy of the New Wine podcast is nothing like that.
