Transcript: 

Two days ago, last Friday, we were invited to run some friends to go to Cornell and to attend the lecture. Victor Aubrey's friend's compliments. No one will say that I'm not invited. Have a meal. Friends, we have a very good day. exchange together in good spirits. We went into the light and survey of the television. I got here from there, because you don't have the television. But if it is there right before your nose, and it's one eye to glass, at this time it was rather exciting, the usual picture with police. doubling it on students.

[01:05]

And there was one thing that was discovered because Jerusalem was the Hebrew University and it was the occasion most of the day of founding our in that city and the degree of small group of students who blessed the high country We cannot be guessed. Adels, they protested during the three-block-folds, and there was one bound of shock in my mind. I think there was, that we should never forget, that we should never forgive. And that's shock, because that is one of your expressions, which we find simply not only is a listener. but everywhere in the world, all over the world. Expression of that that we call very banished human, hate.

[02:10]

The Jews has caused so much sorrow and bloodshed all over the world. Then, yesterday, another number of the New York Times just happened to come by, but usually people went from there, too. This time, we see there are kind of juicy bits of nibbles. And it was on the most decorated world yearbook of Vietnam. And he appeared this way. And it was said there that the payer had made the headline that he had this way. to be able to march out to fight the vehicle. And that he had a great career of war broke behind him until this happened.

[03:14]

At least his wife had discovered that he was entitled to health, and she'd do to death what this pistol was to attack. So, I mention these two things because you can see there are one, [...] one And that is happy. I say that because today we celebrate Mother's Day. And to us as Christians that we do that and celebrate Mother's Day, we do it as Christians. We do it and we do not think of a sudden, superficial setting, many good reason.

[04:24]

But we celebrate a day like this. we really, interiorly, we celebrate the mystery of modernity. Because we know that is the very root of our own existence. It could not exist when we got children. And so therefore, it is clear already in the nearly natural But, and especially these days where Stuttgart dances closer more and more, the tremendous importance of motherly love, which it has in order to and for the inner holiness of the child, before even the child has come into this world, before the child is born,

[05:26]

The mother stands for us as the exact opposite of any irrational hatred, or any unrighteous passion. The mother stands for us, and is the one who is the fountain of life. And not only the fountain of life, but the keeper. And it is the one who wants, and the one who protects the life and feeds. and nurses, so that the child may grow into what we call peace, at least both of body and of mind. But that is not only here in the natural realm, it is even more likely as soon as we enter into the realm of a relation, where we see already in the chosen people

[06:29]

a very special and unique federation for the mother. The Jewish people of Christ had this deep inner feeling, and can say it all, the glory of mother. This is one of the interesting and very significant ceremonies. In the Jewish poem, it is the mother's office to light The calendar looks on Friday evening. There's a room in the Sabbath. Introduce the Sabbath joy, the joy and the peace of God, into the folk. That is the office of the world. Why? Because in the context of the mission and the history of the chosen place, The mother hears, and every woman hears, potentially, the mother of the Messiah.

[07:34]

The history, the inner meaning of the history of the chosen works, is peace, the establishment of the kingdom of peace, of that kingdom where the lion and the lamb can work together without doing any harm to one another. where the little baby can play with the Baptist's name, in peace. That is the picture, that is the design, that's the great wish of the history of the Jewish people, the chosen. And that is the root of our own messiah. Wherever the inner world's dreams are dreaming, the spirit, Draught towards peace. There, it seems, the brother rides into a new lord there, as it were as the mediator of this peace, as the brother of the king who brings peace to heaven.

[08:47]

In extremely percent, this is true in Christian. Our West Young King is the Word of God. The Word of God made man. The incarnation that is the root of our joy, of our hope, and of our peace. That the world that separates God and man is taller. That the two who have never become one in the world's income. The Word made flesh. in the new man, the head-spin of his mystical body, the church. And he is born not of the real man, but he is born through the Christ of God, through the spirit, and therefore formed the virgin. That is our idea.

[09:50]

That is the idea of Obama. which is so deeply ingrained in our Christian faith. That is the reason why the church has this special devotion to our daily mother. The mother that gave birth to the Savior and accompanied the Savior on his great cross, died as it were when the star was king. And he rose the king, and he rose. The mother of that is for us, through all the history of the church, he promised the inspiration to seek after peace, to move into a very atmosphere of mercy, to forgive and forgive certain times.

[10:51]

That is what we celebrate today. And that is what we remember. We remember the mystery of a Christian. And this mystery, which gives us holiness, which is the root in that way of our peace. There is a little story of a Jewish rapist, which I think they can walk. the clients of ourselves to them. And when he heard his mother approaching, he rose from his seat. And when those who are living, ask him why do you do this? And he said, I rise because I see the glory of God approached. That is exactly a feeling for us First of all, to the Lord of God, and then to every Christian, to our God, will rise.

[12:02]

And so let us also use this something intuitively to rise and to greet in our mother's glory of God.
