  Speaker 1: Gospel Reflection for the 20th day of October in the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: year of our Lord, 2026. Today's reading is from Luke
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: chapter 12, verses 35 through 38. Let your loins be
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: girt and lamps burning in your hands. And you yourselves,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: like to men who wait for their Lord, when he
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: shall return from the wedding, that when he cometh and knocketh,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: whom It should go without saying that none of us
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: knows when death's going to come. But most of us
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: don't live that way. Human nature is such that we
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: live in anticipation of living another day, assuming it will
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: be much like the one before. If we're wise, we
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: work and we save for a time when we may
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: not be able. Many, however, are not so wise, simply
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: living for the day. Beyond our future material needs, the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Bible constantly urges that we should pray and fast, do
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: charitable works, and avoid sin. that we may be spiritually
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: prepared for the time of our death. We will be
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: judged by our works and our faith. Yes, we will
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: be judged by our works and our faith. Protestants teach
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that we're justified by faith alone and not our works,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and they often cite Romans 4, 22-25. Brothers and sisters,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Abraham did not doubt God's promise in unbelief. Rather, he
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: was empowered by faith and gave glory to God and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: was fully convinced that what God had promised he was
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: able to do, also able to do. That is why
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it was credited to him as righteousness, but it was
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: not for him alone that it was written, but it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was credited to him. It was also for us to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: whom it will be credited, who believe in the one
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: handed over for our transgressions and was raised for our justification. Well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: while it's true that That belief and faith are inexorably linked.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It was Abraham's deed, his deeds, I should say, in
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: obeying God that were the fruits of his belief. That
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was evidence of his faith. Without those deeds, his faith
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: would not be credited unto him as righteousness. He would
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: have been disobedient. You know, Jesus said, if you love me,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you will keep my commandments. Protestants say, no, I've got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: faith alone. I'm justified. No, you actually have to keep
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: his commandments. And the book of James tells us that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: faith without works is dead. And Martin Luther really hated
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the book of James. He wanted it stripped from the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Bible in his own words. He said he wanted to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: throw Jimmy into the fire. So, yeah, indeed, Martin Luther
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: boasted of changing the very words of Christ. to faith alone.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, by faith and also by works. Martin Luther
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: changed it to by faith alone, and then said, if
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: your papist accuses me of changing the words of Christ,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm not quoting this verbatim, you can look it up.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He said, the papist is an ass, and I'm the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: greatest theologian ever. I mean, he said, you know, you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: may tell him that Dr. Luther changed those words. He
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: admitted it fully. 99% of Protestants do not know that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: their Bible has been changed, changed to fit a false doctrine.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Faith alone has never been a valid Christian doctrine. Justification
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is a grace, okay? Grace is a gift that is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: given out of benevolence. It's not earned, okay? So justification
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: is a gift given to those who have both faith
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in Jesus and who are obedient to his commands. So
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: your Protestant will say, but that means you have to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: have works. Yes, to be obedient, you do have to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: do works of mercy and other works. Prayer is a work.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Our Lord commands us to love him and our neighbor
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and to obey the church he founded. He said, if
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a man will not listen to the church, let him
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: be unto you, as a publican or a heathen, if
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I remember correctly. It depends on what translation you're quoting from.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He said, if you love me, you will keep my commandments. So,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, prayer's a work, reading the Bible's a work,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: attending Mass is a work, and we are commanded to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: perform works of mercy. We are supposed to be charitable.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: We are commanded to forgive. Forgiveness is a work. Belief
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is a work. One does not just have faith without
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: making a commitment of the will. That commitment of the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: will in itself is a work. So we are also
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: commanded by Jesus to take part in the sacraments that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he instituted. He said we have to be baptized to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: be saved. Baptism is a work. He said you must
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: eat my body and drink my blood. Or you have
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: no life in you. forsake not the gathering of yourselves
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: together on the Sabbath day. These are all works. He
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: said to his apostles, those whose sins you forgive, they
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: are forgiven. Those whose sins you retain, they are retained.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It is both a work to confess your sins to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a priest, as Jesus commanded, and it is a work
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: for the priest to forgive your sins. He said what
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is bound on earth will be bound in heaven, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: what is loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: by God. the people to whom, the actual individuals, real
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: living men, to whom he gave that authority, the keys
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of the kingdom. There is no Christianity that has any
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: validity to it whatsoever without works, which are obedience. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: where does obedience to God come from? It comes from
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: love of God. He said, if you love me, you
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: will keep my commandments. If we are not obedient, it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: because we don't love God more than we love sin
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: or our own pride. And the original pride, the original sin,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is that of the first Protestant, Satan. Satan said, I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: he rebelled against God. Satan is the original Protestant. Satan
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is the prototype of Martin Luther and King Henry VIII
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and all that came after him. And no matter how
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: good and filled with faith a Protestant may be, They're
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: still disobeying the commandments of God who said, you have
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to receive the Eucharist because you can't receive the Eucharist
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in a Protestant church. Only a Catholic priest has the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: ability to bind and loose and turn bread and wine
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: into the body and blood of Christ. I'm sorry, that's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just the way it is. Jesus never said, go out
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and found 50,000 different denominations. And there are 50,000, according
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to Grok, I just looked it up, or It may
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: have been the other one, the Google one. At current count,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: there are more than 50,000 Protestant denominations, each of which
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: disagree with each other, and all of whom reject the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Catholic Church. Jesus said upon, he said to Peter, Peter,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: your name's no longer Simon Barjona. Your name is Peter.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Or Cephas, actually, in his Aramaic that he actually spoke,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: which was a much more clear language. It meant specifically,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you are the rock. And upon this rock, I found
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: my church. He never said, pick up a Bible and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: go find your own church and change my words to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: fit whatever false teaching you want to believe, which is
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: what Martin Luther said. And then at the end of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Martin Luther's life, he complained that people were just making
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: up churches as they went. He said, people were just...
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: making stuff up. And he was even disgusted with the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: fruits of his own work. I don't know. Sources from
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the time, well, he admitted to being, oh gosh, he
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: admitted to being a murderer. He admitted to being an alcoholic.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: He admitted to being manic depressive. He admitted to openly
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: disobeying Jesus, who told him not to found his own church,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: but to be obedient to the Catholic Church, he said
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Jesus appeared to him and said, why do you seek
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: my keys? They remain with Peter. His tongue is my
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: key and his mouth is my key case. They will
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: not be given to you. Martin Luther said, basically, he
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was influenced by Satan. He openly admitted that. Now, historians
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: at the time say he committed suicide. Now they say, well, no,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: those were just Catholics who wanted to disparage the founder
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of Protestantism. I have no idea. I do know he
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: accused Jesus of adultery. Yeah, he said Martin Luther, the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: founder of Protestantism, accused Jesus of adultery and said that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he would trust his wife and his students more than God.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He would trust in the opinions of his wife and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: his students more than the words of Christ. Not a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: good man. Not a good man at all. Pray for
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the repose of his soul, but he was an antichrist.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Just as much so as you know, the beast out
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of the book of Revelations. So anyway, we are commanded
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that we take part in the sacraments that our Lord
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: instituted and obey the priests that he put in that
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: role through apostolic succession. And to be charitable and pray
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: for people and pray for the unity of all Christians
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: without a doubt. Obedience is a work through which we
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: become righteous and receive the abundance of grace. Remember, the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: angel said to Mary, Hail, full of grace. And how
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: did she respond? Let it be done unto me according
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to your word. It was the obedience of Abraham. It
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: was the obedience of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Um, Christ
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in his human form, obedient unto death, as the Bible says,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that is the source of our grace, our salvation, our redemption.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Without obedience, we are of the devil. We are not
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of God. And to be obedient is to be Catholic. Remember,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Jesus prayed that all Christians be one, one in faith, doctrine,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: all members of the same church. No divisions. The apostles
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: throughout the New Testament absolutely condemned every schism, every division,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: every time, I mean, several times they said, people are
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: proposing a new church, a new belief. They are to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: be rejected. If a man will not listen to the church,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: let him be unto you as a heathen. A Protestant
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: will say, what church? The Catholic has to answer, the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: church Jesus Christ founded and guaranteed against all error, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: said it would stand until he comes again on the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: last day. The one church that has stood for 2,000
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: years plus, and will continue to stand until the end
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of time. Y'all have a great one, and I will
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow.
