And you now, entering into this church, can't wait for you to look back on the confidential circumstances through which the Lord has taken you out of the world which is far as it is. Not certainly not redeemed by God, you have tasted the goodness of the Father. You will now experience the frustration connected with that search to find somewhere in this world a place and function that really it through feels. And you will see how much holism the devil puts it to the chance that unfortunately so many people have And so when you wake the last day, it's the blood of the night that has within you.

Who sees me, sees you. The good shepherd calls his home by their name. That's really the meaning. He is the God's web. He calls the good shepherd's sheep by their name. He knows in the wisdom of the father leads them to this personal encounter of faith. That is what you are seeking to do, brother and son of Christ. Now, usually in these things I have noticed and forget, The main thing that's the giving of the name, we do it right now.

Jerome. St. Jerome is a man who has tasted the bitterness of the world. Now that chapter the devil has to come.

And he was the man who was able, with this background, also this liberal background, education that he had, was able to appreciate Deeply, not only that, but also open up the meaning of our scripture to others. And you will open up for the scripture. Follow the same truth. And then, Brother Copeland, we have spoken about it.

And you should have said that, the Apostle. Do you notice that, St. Philip is talking? the most blatant star, something that might not be possible, but he's one of the slowest. It takes a long time. But, uh, Sid Andrew, you know, that takes care of him.

Seek Christ, be written from us. We God Christ, still do not. We do not pledge to that inner His inner mystery that He is the Father's face. He is the Father's manifestation. We are truly the Son.

As you know, bearing that, the rule of Saint Benedict is simply geared to this, to form those and give those who don't want to see anything but the power.
