Good News #178 051725: Embracing God's Creation: Wildlife Wonders in My Backyard · Catholic Spirit Radio

• 0:00
  Welcome to Good News on Catholic Spirit Radio, a program for teens and almost
• 0:04
  teens to better understand that the gospel of Jesus Christ is relevant in their
• 0:08
  lives, and it's a place where your questions about faith and religion can be answered.
• 0:13
  And now, here's your host, Deacon Al.
• 0:17
  Good evening, and welcome to Good News on Catholic Spirit Radio.
• 0:21
  I'm Deacon Al Lundy, a permanent deacon of the Peoria Diocese,
• 0:24
  and always happy to be with you on Saturday and Sunday evenings from 8 to 8.30
• 0:29
  here on Catholic Spirit Radio, bringing you the good news of Jesus Christ through
• 0:34
  the readings of the Mass.
• 0:35
  And so we'll be getting to those a little later in the program,
• 0:39
  where we'll hear from Luke in the Acts of the Apostles, from John in Revelation,
• 0:44
  and then again from John in the Gospel.
• 0:47
  So this is the fifth Sunday of Easter. We're closing in quickly on Pentecost.
• 0:53
  Sorry, my mind just shut down for a moment there. Closing in on Pentecost and
• 0:57
  then back into ordinary time.
• 0:59
  And it's definitely spring. I know we haven't had our first day yet,
• 1:04
  but it's really so enjoyable out. It's going to be like 90 degrees today.
• 1:09
  So just insane. We had, you know, I love wildlife.
• 1:13
  I've got my backyard set up to welcome bees and butterflies and birds.
• 1:19
  And we also have raccoons. Now, I don't bait the raccoons. I'm not trying to
• 1:23
  feed them. I do try and bring in the butterflies and the bees and the birds.
• 1:27
  But with that, you get possums and raccoons and things of that sort.
• 1:31
  But the other night, I had a coyote.
• 1:33
  I mean, a big, healthy coyote come trotting through my backyard about four o'clock
• 1:38
  in the morning. The security camera caught it.
• 1:41
  And, you know, I think that's pretty cool because I also have rabbits and I'd
• 1:46
  love to have more coyotes and fewer rabbits.
• 1:48
  So maybe that's a good sign.
• 1:51
  But it is a sign of life. And that's what I love about my backyard.
• 1:54
  It is just so full of life.
• 1:57
  So when I need time for contemplation, for prayer, I go into my backyard.
• 2:02
  You should have someplace at your home that you can go to for quiet and solace and prayer.
• 2:09
  And it might not be your backyard with possums and raccoons and coyotes,
• 2:13
  but maybe you've got a den or a place in the basement where you can not have a television,
• 2:19
  leave the phone out of the room and just go there to talk to God and to listen
• 2:25
  to God's reply in prayer.
• 2:27
  If you don't have a spot like that in your home, take time this weekend to make
• 2:30
  a spot like that somewhere at your home.
• 2:33
  The, what else was I going to tell you? Oh, yeah, the Pope. Pope Leo XIV,
• 2:39
  when he was Father Robert Prevost, he was born right near where I was born,
• 2:45
  where I lived, just a few miles away from where I lived.
• 2:47
  And it turns out he was an associate professor
• 2:52
  priest at my wife's parish, at my wife's home parish.
• 2:56
  Now, by the time he was there, we were already married and here in the Twin Cities.
• 3:01
  But it's just cool to know that at a parish in the town I lived,
• 3:06
  I lived in the south end, my wife's family from the north end of town, St.
• 3:10
  Victor's in Calumet City, Illinois, was a place where now Pope Leo XIV,
• 3:16
  then Father Robert Prevost, served as a priest.
• 3:19
  And I'm telling everybody because I doubt that Pope Leo's telling anybody that story.
• 3:24
  I don't think he's going around the Vatican saying, hey, guess what?
• 3:27
  I was at Sharon Lundy's parish for a few years.
• 3:30
  But I thought it was important enough to tell, and since he's not telling,
• 3:33
  I thought I would. Right? Seems fair. Seems fair.
• 3:36
  Oh, we have a, in Bloomington, we have a women's curcio coming up.
• 3:40
  We're still looking for participants.
• 3:42
  It's not going to be until the second week of June.
• 3:46
  So there's still time to sign up. If you're interested in going through a Curcio
• 3:50
  weekend, I love these things.
• 3:52
  I've done, gosh, close to 30 of them now, I would guess.
• 3:56
  And what a wonderful weekend to spend with fellow Christians, not just Catholics.
• 4:02
  We have Christians from all different Christian churches in town and within
• 4:05
  about a 30-mile radius coming.
• 4:07
  A great time to spend the weekend re-evaluating your life, re-evaluating the
• 4:14
  cooperation of your life with the Holy Spirit and the will of God.
• 4:18
  It's just a marvelous time. We treat you like a princess. We feed you.
• 4:23
  We entertain you. We fill you with a lot of good information on the Christian faith.
• 4:29
  And it's very inexpensive. $150 Thursday through Sunday. so three nights in
• 4:35
  a hotel for $150 a nice hotel.
• 4:40
  Yeah, it is. It's quite a deal. I think people would really enjoy it.
• 4:43
  We would love to have a large class again, like we did with the last men's course.
• 4:47
  So if you're interested, the easiest way to sign up is to go to bncurseo,
• 4:54
  that's C-U-R-S-I-L-L-O, bncurseo.org.
• 5:00
  And you'll find on the front page there, you'll find an application.
• 5:05
  You'll need a sponsor, someone who's been through Curcio. If you ask at your
• 5:10
  church, you will probably find someone.
• 5:12
  We've had tens of thousands of people attend a Curcio weekend just in our diocese.
• 5:18
  And I'm sure you have people in your diocese who have attended as well.
• 5:21
  But you do need a sponsor. But
• 5:23
  if you don't have one, just let us know and we'll find a sponsor for you.
• 5:26
  Because we really want you to come. It's very important.
• 5:29
  We feel it's very important to your relationship with God. It's not the only
• 5:34
  way to build a relationship with God, but it's a good way. It's a really effective way.
• 5:39
  And we think you'd really enjoy
• 5:41
  it, and it's something that you will not forget during your lifetime.
• 5:46
  So that's my little few plugs for today.
• 5:49
  Oh, and congratulations, before I forget, congratulations to all the graduates
• 5:53

  And welcome back to Good News. I am Deacon Al Lundy from the Peoria Diocese.
• 8:52
  If you'd like to be part of Good News, you can write us an email,
• 8:57
  and we'll be glad to take your questions on the Christian faith, on Catholicism.
• 9:01
  We can answer questions about things you like, things you don't like,
• 9:05
  things you don't understand, things you think you understand and want to know more about.
• 9:09
  We can help with that. Please drop us a line at goodnews at catholicspiritradio.com,
• 9:15
  and we will take your questions on the air.
• 9:18
  Been a lot of questions lately about Mary because May is the month of Mary.
• 9:23
  One of the two months out of the year that we pay special attention to Mary on.
• 9:27
  And the question is, why do Catholics consider Mary a goddess? We don't. We never have.
• 9:34
  Never have. That was kind of a nasty rumor spread by other people,
• 9:38
  not by the Catholic, not ever been a teaching of the Catholic Church.
• 9:41
  But there is one thing to consider And that's Mary's role in our salvation.
• 9:47
  Because we tend to say that everybody tends to only focus on the role of Jesus
• 9:52
  in salvation. And that's very true.
• 9:54
  He is definitely the focal point.
• 9:57
  But you can't talk about Jesus without talking about his incarnation,
• 10:02
  without understanding that this is not God who just merely appeared out of nowhere,
• 10:08
  just kind of faded into existence.
• 10:12
  Jesus came into existence through a human woman, and not just any human woman,
• 10:17
  through a specific one, a woman chosen from her conception by God to bear Jesus
• 10:24
  and bring him into humanity.
• 10:27
  So that alone makes Mary very special. Do we worship Mary separate from Jesus?
• 10:33
  No, because without Jesus, Mary has no importance at all.
• 10:39
  If Mary had never—I mean, think about all the millions and billions of women
• 10:42
  who did not give birth to Jesus.
• 10:44
  None of them hold any kind of a special place in the hearts of Catholicism.
• 10:50
  So without Jesus, Mary is nothing. And I think Fulton Sheen gives a great explanation
• 10:56
  of this in he compares Mary to the moon, and that the moon at night is quite beautiful.
• 11:02
  But the moonlight doesn't actually come from the moon.
• 11:07
  Moonlight is a reflection of the sun off of the moon. Well, that's Mary.
• 11:13
  Mary in herself is nothing special without the light of Christ.
• 11:19
  It's the light of Christ that illumines Mary in our faith.
• 11:23
  And not just our faith. If you want to read some really beautiful writings about
• 11:28
  Mary and beautiful reflections on her importance, there's a ton of them out
• 11:33
  there written by a man by the name of Martin Luther.
• 11:36
  Yeah, that same one. The Martin Luther who started the Lutheran Church was a huge devotee of Mary.
• 11:44
  And you can just look up on the internet, Reflections on Mary by Martin Luther,
• 11:48
  and you'll find a bunch, and they're just gorgeous.
• 11:51
  So it's not just the Catholic faith who holds Mary in reverence.
• 11:56
  The Lutheran faith started out that way, and then with time changed as other
• 12:03
  influences came into the Lutheran Church besides Martin Luther.
• 12:08
  And unfortunately, one of the things that happened was they pulled away from their faith in Mary.
• 12:13
  But this is the month of Mary, the month of May, and so invite everyone to take
• 12:19
  extra time to reflect on Mary's role in salvation and how the fact that without Mary,
• 12:25
  there is no Christ in the human world, okay?
• 12:28
  The Word of God would still have existed with God, in God.
• 12:32
  However, the only reason that Christ was here on earth was through the obedience
• 12:39
  of Mary and Mary's love for God and obedience to God.
• 12:44
  So she is a very special woman to us, but she's not God and she's not a goddess,
• 12:49
  and she's not as important or more important than Jesus.
• 12:52
  But she is important because Jesus makes her important.
• 12:57
  Our readings this Sunday, the fifth Sunday of Easter, as I say,
• 13:00
  this is the last Sunday of Easter before we get into Pentecost.
• 13:04
  And Pentecost in itself, we'll talk next week, a really important day in the
• 13:09
  church and not a holiday that the Catholic Church started.
• 13:15
  Pentecost was celebrated by the Jews before it was ever celebrated in the Christian
• 13:19
  world, and for a very different reason, but on the same day.
• 13:25
  So, we can talk about that next week.
• 13:27
  So, this week is the fifth Sunday, and this is so appropriate because so many
• 13:32
  schools right now are graduating.
• 13:34
  And the focus of the gospel this week is the graduation speech by Jesus, is really what it is.
• 13:41
  When you hear it, it's a very short speech by the valedictorian,
• 13:45
  by the head of the class, talking to the rest of the class.
• 13:48
  And that's why we see this reading at this time of year in the church.
• 13:53
  So, our first reading is from the Acts of the Apostles. This is written by Luke,
• 13:58
  who spent time with Paul as Paul's scribe, as it were.
• 14:02
  And so, these stories are given to us about Paul by Luke, who was there with
• 14:09
  him at the time that many of these things happened.
• 14:13
  And he writes, After Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news in that
• 14:17
  city and made a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and
• 14:23
  to Iconium and to Antioch.
• 14:25
  They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere
• 14:31
  in the faith, saying, It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.
• 14:38
  They appointed elders for them in each church and with prayer and fasting commended
• 14:43
  them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith.
• 14:46
  Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
• 14:50
  After proclaiming the word at Perga, they then went to Atilia,
• 14:55
  and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the
• 14:59
  grace of God for the work that they had now accomplished.
• 15:03
  And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God
• 15:07
  had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, the word of the Lord.
• 15:13
  So as you read this, you'll see in the first few phrases, what it's telling
• 15:16
  us is, these guys were busy.
• 15:19
  I mean, they weren't just sitting around just proclaiming the word of God in one town.
• 15:24
  These were hardworking men who really struggled. These towns are not close together.
• 15:29
  This is not an easy walk. This isn't where you take an Uber.
• 15:33
  You don't grab an Uber to go from Lystra to Iconium.
• 15:36
  This is a long walk through mountainous areas, through desert areas in some cases.
• 15:42
  Paul walked hundreds, actually over a thousand miles by foot on these trips.
• 15:48
  And he made more than one circuit on this walk.
• 15:52
  And he's going around to churches that they started,
• 15:55
  and they're appointing elders. So, they're acting as bishops.
• 15:59
  They're establishing parishes, and they're anointing bishops.
• 16:05
  I'm sorry, anointing priests.
• 16:07
  So, that's the work that Paul and Barnabas are involved in, and they're covering a huge area.
• 16:12
  I mean, they're going to areas in Greece, in Turkey, in Iran.
• 16:16
  This is a huge area of the Middle East that they're covering.
• 16:20
  And as they go, they're making the church stronger and stronger.
• 16:23
  They're almost all of Paul's epistles, he's solving problems that are taking
• 16:27
  places in various churches.
• 16:29
  And that's why we keep them, because we see churches having some of the same
• 16:32
  problems today that Paul addressed 2,000 years ago.
• 16:36
  And that's why these epistles are so important. And it gives us information
• 16:41
  about the evolution of the Catholic Church.
• 16:46
  So he's moving around a lot of places over a huge difference,
• 16:50
  sorry, over a huge area of the world,
• 16:54
  making parishes, and reminding people what it means to be Catholic,
• 17:00
  and that it was very hard at that time because of so many ways that the persecution
• 17:06
  of the Christians was not easy.
• 17:09
  A lot of martyrs at that time, a lot, a lot of martyrs.
• 17:12
  And so Paul's just telling everybody, keep the faith, persevere in the faith,
• 17:16
  hang in there, because eventually.
• 17:18
  Christ is taking over the world. It's going to happen eventually.
• 17:23
  And we're still waiting for that moment.
• 17:24
  And we're still being asked to persevere. We're being reminded that life is
• 17:29
  going to have hardships.
• 17:30
  But we have to remain steadfast in our Christian faith. And that faith comes
• 17:35
  down to one thing. It comes down to love.
• 17:38
  Loving God, loving our neighbors. And we're going to hear about that again in
• 17:42
  the graduation speech that Jesus is going to share with us in the gospel.
• 17:47
  Our second reading is going to be from Revelation.
• 17:51
  This is coming out about the 21st chapter, beginning of the 21st chapter of
• 17:56
  Revelation, where in Revelation, John is talking to us about this vision that he had.
• 18:01
  And this vision is giving him information about heaven, about how Christ is
• 18:07
  viewing the church on earth, what he wants of it and for it.
• 18:12
  And so in the second reading, John writes, Then I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth.
• 18:19
  The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
• 18:24
  I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
• 18:30
  prepared as a bride adorned by her husband.
• 18:33
  I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Behold, God's dwelling is with the human race.
• 18:39
  He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. God Himself will always
• 18:44
  be with them as their God.
• 18:46
  He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death
• 18:51
  or mourning, wailing or pain.
• 18:53
  For the old order has passed away.
• 18:56
  The one who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. The word of the Lord.
• 19:03
  So what we're hearing here in the book of Revelation is really two things.
• 19:07
  The coming of the church is,
• 19:09
  after Christ's passion, and also the second coming of Christ.
• 19:14
  They're really looking at them as two of the same things, both coming from heaven,
• 19:19
  both contain God, right?
• 19:23
  Jesus and the church both house God.
• 19:28
  And when they came, when the church came, established by Christ,
• 19:33
  it changed the world. almost every bit of human history can be traced back to
• 19:39
  some action taking place within the church.
• 19:42
  We are the core for the last 2,000 years.
• 19:45
  Christianity has been the core of human history. But it also talks about the
• 19:50
  coming of God for the second coming.
• 19:52
  And I kind of focused in on this line about them being adorned like a bride.
• 19:58
  You know, throughout Scripture, when Jesus talks about heaven,
• 20:02
  And he often refers to it, for us to be able to imagine it, as a wedding reception, as a party.
• 20:09
  And what would you expect at a party? You expect decorations.
• 20:12
  You expect everybody to dress their best, right?
• 20:14
  And on their best behavior. And you can imagine music and joy emanating from this party.
• 20:21
  We kind of think of the same thing when you think about heaven,
• 20:23
  don't you? I mean, it's not going to be a drab place. It's going to be this
• 20:26
  amazing place, fully adorned, fully decorated, exerting great joy.
• 20:34
  You can imagine the music, the singing, waiting for us, right?
• 20:39
  And so he's giving us a view of that in this reading, that what waits for us
• 20:45
  in heaven is this amazing wedding party with the church as the bride,
• 20:51
  Jesus as the bridegroom.
• 20:54
  And yet, we have people who will look at the Catholic Church and say, well, it's so lavish.
• 21:01
  I mean, look at the fancy clothes and vestments and look at the fancy decorations
• 21:06
  and look how ornate the churches are.
• 21:09
  They read it in Scripture and think, oh, yeah, that's heaven. That's beautiful.
• 21:14
  They see it in the church and they say, oh, that seems so ostentatious.
• 21:18
  No, no. No, we're mimicking, we're showing by example, what John says awaits
• 21:25
  us in the presence of God.
• 21:28
  So we're inviting God and his heaven into our home, into our home, the church.
• 21:36
  In our gospel, this takes place right after Judas has left the Last Supper and
• 21:44
  is on his way to betray Jesus.
• 21:47
  So who's left? Well, Jesus' closest disciples.
• 21:52
  And Jesus has seen Judas leave, and so he knows what's next.
• 21:56
  He knows that as soon as Judas leaves, he's gone to arrange for Christ's arrest.
• 22:02
  And immediately following that, we're going to see his passion and death and resurrection.
• 22:07
  So what starts off as a really bad day turns into a really good day.
• 22:12
  So our gospel reading from John says, when Judas had left them,
• 22:16
  Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

  If God is glorified in him, God also is glorified himself in him,
• 22:27
  and God will glorify him at once.
• 22:30
  My children, and this is where the graduation speech comes in,
• 22:35
  My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.
• 22:38
  I give you a new commandment.
• 22:41
  Love one another as I have loved you, so also you should love one another.
• 22:46
  This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one
• 22:52
  another. The gospel of the Lord.
• 22:54
  It's a really short gospel. It's a really short gospel. But when you think about
• 22:58
  it in the time we're in now, it's a graduation speech.
• 23:02
  It's Jesus taking up three years of teaching and bringing it down,
• 23:07
  purifying it down to one easy,
• 23:11
  easily understood meaning and easily understood teaching for the apostles to
• 23:16
  use to build an entire faith on. And look how long that's lasted.
• 23:21
  And it's so simple because everything Jesus taught about healing,
• 23:26
  about forgiveness, about compassion, all comes down to love. Thank you.
• 23:32
  Our Christian faith is about love. Love God, love others.
• 23:37
  And if we all did that, think of how different this world would be.
• 23:42
  We could solve poverty. We could solve hunger. We could solve war.
• 23:47
  We could solve crime. If everyone believed in loving God and in loving their
• 23:54
  neighbor, that would resolve all human problems.
• 23:58
  You'd still have little things that we can't control, volcanoes, hurricanes, floods.
• 24:05
  But you know what? We would respond to them in an entirely different way.
• 24:10
  We would respond to them with the love of neighbor and the love of God,
• 24:14
  and we would find ways to help people faster, help people more.
• 24:22
  To resolve their pain, to heal their pain. But we don't do that.
• 24:27
  I'm always amazed when somebody mentions, well, I wanted this to happen,
• 24:33
  but the people came and they did this. And the first response is,
• 24:35
  well, are you going to sue them?
• 24:37
  How counter to our Christian faith is that?
• 24:41
  Look at our politics. I mean, half of all Christians, I should say,
• 24:47
  are Democrats, liberals.
• 24:49
  Half of them are Republicans, conservatives. And yet, look how much time we
• 24:54
  spend calling each other names.
• 24:56
  And Jesus says, no, love each other the way I love you.
• 25:00
  And we have such a hard time doing that. Each says the other one's not just
• 25:05
  wrong. It's okay to be wrong.
• 25:07
  It's okay to say somebody's wrong, but to insult them because they're wrong,
• 25:14
  to think that they're not worthy of God because they're wrong,
• 25:19
  to think they're not worthy of heaven because they're wrong.
• 25:23
  That's not our role. We're not the judge. We're not the law.
• 25:28
  Christ will figure that out. Our job isn't to judge. Our job is to love.
• 25:34
  It's a hard thing to do. It's a hard discipline to gain, but it's what we're called to by Christ.
• 25:42
  And we're reminded of that right here. This is just before he enters the Passion.
• 25:46
  The last thing he tells us is to love each other.
• 25:51
  I'll leave you some time to think about that this weekend and during the next week.
• 25:56
  May Almighty God bless you, protect you from all evil, and bring you to everlasting life.
