Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. Greetings, everyone. In this adventure, we will reflect on the themes that come to our charitable dealings with others that we have special friendship with, i.e., our brethren in Trinity. We shall seek ways peacefully to resolve or address those issues that arise in Trinity situations. Nonetheless, none of us in that chair seat will enable you to live well, or to die well. Let me begin with a story. A farm boy accidentally overturns his wagon load of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise of the wagon overturning. Hey, will it? The farmer yelled. Forget your troubles. Come with us. Then I'll help you get the wagon up.

[01:01]

That might be my duty, the farmer said, but I don't think Tom would like me to. Oh, come on, the farmer insisted. We're in no shape, the boy finally agreed and added, but Tom won't like it. After opposing Bill, Millie thanked her folks. I feel a lot better now, which I know part is going to mean more upset. Don't be foolish, the lady said with a smile. By the way, where is he? Under the work enlist. There are issues within communities, there are awkward sequels, problems and holes in approaching future hours. An extension that comes from these veterans will always change things, and those who want things to remain as they are, but if they perceive it, certain other veterans will never be satisfied, no matter what we do, so we might as well leave things as they are. There are the endless frontal meetings, trying to decide the next thing, or whether to go back to what we used to do in the past. There's a feud between those who feel that we are too innate to the world, that we need to modernize, but for others it means not modernization, but secularization, bringing the world into the monastery, whichever that may be.

[02:03]

Around, they believe they change the monastery to leave some of the values of the world behind. They want pure, religious life. And they thought it, you can find what you want in lots of places out there in the world. But the only place that I can live the authentic religious life is right here, in a monastery. They argue that you are how unstoppable our optics, our habits, our rules, our tangible, our traditional ways of doing things. Why did you come to this monastery? You can probably substitute another unhappiness to get a taste for what I'm saying. The difficulty here, out there in the world, if there is unhappiness, you can change jobs, you can change church, or you can move away entirely. What do we do in a community where we are bound to each other in life? We usually try to find a compromise. A secretary, a current legal, and a partner in a big world phone are walking through a park on their way to lunch, and they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it, and the genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The genie says, I usually only grant three wishes, rather than distribute just one.

[03:07]

Me first, me first, said the secretary. I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat without a care in the world. She's gone. Me next, me next, says the paralegal. I want to be in Hawaii relaxing on the beach with an endless supply of peanut butter. She's gone. You're next, the junior says to the partner of the law firm. The partner says, I want those two back in the office right after lunch. Why are you trying to compromise? The reality is that when we compromise between the two of us being good, positively and negatively, we don't want it to be. Both parties go away unhappily, and you end up watching things down to the lowest common denominator, so that even those caught between the two factions, in the middle ground, end up demoralized, and now you come to think I'm terrible for all, because of these factions. Why did we come to community? For our own way, or to love and serve Jesus? Who does not understand that there are different lives in a life of Catholic life? That our spiritual path will involve the trials of all the broken and the pitfalls of our desires, no matter how we might sanitise it by saying that we are wanting the best for our community.

[04:14]

Youth is the heart of the most perfect. Many of the heart's likes and dislikes have their basis in our own fear, pride, and envy. Someone once said, the greatest reason to love her, is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own. Someone else said, it's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. And as a rabbi once said, love does not blind, it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it brings to see less. What we see, our 20 years of others, tend to come out often in trouble or a military. There was an incident that happened in our former community many years ago, when a six o'clock squatter ran up when a nine o'clock sister drove off it, singing loudly, at her own pace, and scrutinly ignoring or being oblivious to the presentry. For the nine o'clock sister, who was standing in the expanse above her, simply took her best before her, and tipped the sister in front of her on the head, in the middle of the offing. Apparently, animals are so astonished that they do what we normally do on such occasions.

[05:19]

Pretend that there's nothing on the nib, except going off of the object without a pause, as if nothing had happened. And there are technical disputes that go back to an official case. I know of another community where two of the residents do not communicate except officially, in terms of work. And the original argument took place more than 30 years before, about whether or not to open the window. In that monastery, there are residents who believe the monastery is a fridge. and others who believe it is a greenhouse. I have watched the sister come into the room and seen the windows wide open. Then a few seconds later, another sister comes in, trying to be aware of what she is about to take, and she goes straight to the other window and shuts it. There is no counter-wise that would satisfy both opinions. We can all agree, yet what about any misunderstanding between us? It is time now to move out of the holes we have dug ourselves in, all the pitfalls we have fallen so long into, perhaps even fallen into but jumped into, from entrenched positions. As someone once said, no one can go back and make a brand new start, but anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

[06:24]

We now need to nip that out. Holding on to anger, repentance and hurt only gives you ten muscles, a headache, and a sore jaw for clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the longsought and lightness of life. The question is, what do we do with our disagreements? Normal exposure is forced in this way. We will see then how it's first achieved when one should talk magnificently about nothing that holds you awake to the comprehensive detection of the entrainment of all mankind. What to love, then, is but a talk of love. The real love of man must depend on practice. He knows better. Bloggars must depend on factions, and therefore must begin by equitizing itself on our friends, by submitting to their wishes, the contrary to our own, by daring with their infirmities, by overcoming their occasional waywardness by kindness, by dwelling on their excellences. Thus it is that we form in our hearts that root of charity, which though small at first, may like the mustard seeds, at last be the overshadow of the earth.

[07:33]

To love in this way means treating others before ourselves. Love our neighbouring through remembrance of self-love. If we are astray, getting back on the right path of the spirit, getting back onto the right path of the spiritual path will involve a change of direction. There is a saying, when our back is towards God, any direction is wrong. No one remembers how tears and joy are the keynotes of a Christian character. Love is no Christian temper, that's occasionally not real to have not loved in it, that's felt from thousands, is not acceptable, but is not reasoned by faith and simpleness. We must live in sunshine, even when it's cold. We must live in life's pleasures, we must not shut ourselves up in our own hearts. The Christian have the chief, quiet, fidgety, which the world sees not. He is the fetish of the eternal sconfiter, in which he joys. He can lay his head on his pillow at night, and owing God's right his own throwing heart, which he wants nothing, that God is doing all things to him, and that nothing is lost is, which God could give him.

[08:36]

God gives to us, and we must give all ourselves to the sake of others. Three men sat on the lottery, and they split the money into three equal parts, because all of the ones who did hold their money to the church. The large man said, I'm going to draw a circle on the ground, and throw all my money up in the air. Whatever lands in the circle I will keep, and the rest I will give to the church. The bigger man said, I will throw my money in the air. If it lands head up, I will give it to the church, and the rest I will keep for myself. The third man said, I will throw all of my money up in the air. The money that stays up in the air, I will give to the church. And the money that falls to the ground, I will keep for myself. The rulers had their hatreds cleared. Have another hatred or jealousy of anyone, and do nothing out of envy. Grow up not poorly, show no arrogance, pray for your enemies out of love for Christ. If you hurt your sister or someone, make peace with them before the sun goes down.

[09:38]

You'll be told to do written trials, to make up before sundown. But what I'm going to do is point systems to please them end of day. Be angry, but do not sin. Do not let the sundown down on our anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. So what will you be doing practice? Do we go to our brother and say, brother, I feel I'm counting on what I can take? Or do we feel we have to be weak? I'm burning with resistance, and following through with feelings. Please pay for me. More practical tips, if you're offering your gifts at the altar, and heard that this morning, and there in the middle of your brother has fallen against you, leave your gifts there before the altar and go. Don't leave them in front of your brother, and they can't bother your gift. Newman explains why empathy is such a patron Christian virtue. The first duty of charity is to try and enter into the minds and feelings of others. Following those five lectures, we will overview five practical tips for brotherly character and friendship when there are disputes. The first is silence. Mark Twain once went to a dinner party where the chief subject of conversation was talked about eternal life and future punishments.

[10:49]

Twain had some silence throughout the conversation. Finally, it was asked, why do you not say anything? And he likely gave no opinion on eternal life or future punishments. Madeline, you must excuse me for a big lie. I am a pilot of the refugees. I am a friend of those refugees. Violet, wipe your tongue. Impatient, poisonous temper should have no place amongst those consecrated tribes. When tempted, find your jaw shut and eat them that way. Lee, if you cannot sleep, Violet, then sleep. Get away from the situation. After being with his blind date all evening, the man couldn't take another minute with her. Earlier, they had frequently arranged to have a French calling on the phone, but it was kind of an excuse to leave, if something like this happened. When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim expression and said, I have some bad news. My grandfather just died. How in heaven, the date replied.

[11:53]

If yours hadn't, mine was captured. But you can't be trying to completely get away from the situation. The third suggestion is, excuse. Always give the other the benefit of the doubt. Look for ways to excuse them, as your position to do so will. Do you wish to engage this group of liars, excluding them, for they know not what they are doing? And although they taunt you about listening to the lady's claims, do not taunt another if you ought to argue against their opposite, because none of us knows what another person has to struggle with, or what they've already undergone. Excludes. Don't jump to conclusions. One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus carriage, dusted his bus, and he goes off along the route. No problems for the first few stops. A few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big cog on the guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a Messner, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, Big John doesn't pay, and sat down at the back.

[12:58]

Did I mention that the driver was trying to recreate things and basically me? Well he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day, the same thing happened to me. Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the next, and the next. Discouraged from the wash diaper, he started to lose sleep of the way Big Tom was taking advantage of him. Finally, he could stand it no longer. He joined up with a bodybuilder's horses, Karachi, two goats, and all the rest of us. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong. What's more, he felt really good about himself. But on the next Monday, when Big Tom once again got on the bus and said, Big Tom, does it pay? The driver stood up, he laughed at it as I said during the screen, and why not? With a surprise look on his face, Big John reclined. Big John sat aghast for a while. He looked at another. He thought of things to give. If you cannot excuse another, then just forgive him.

[13:59]

Not once, but many times can you. believe you. A certain man wanted to sell his house. Another man wanted to buy it, but because he was poor, he couldn't afford to perform trial. After much bargaining, the owner agreed to sell the house for half the original price with just one affiliation. He would retain ownership of one small male, protruding from just over the door. After several years, the original owner wanted their house back, but the new owner was unwilling to sell. So the third owner went out, bounced the cargoes of the dead animal, and on it from the single nail he stole owners. Soon that house became unlivable, and the family was forced to sell the house to the owner of the nail. If we leave the devil, he will miss one small step in our life. He will return to having his rotten garbage on it, making it unfit for Christ's habitation. Forgiveness means removing the nail. If we have any doubt as to whether or not we are truly forgiven, we do ask how many of the following signs of true forgiveness we recognize.

[15:00]

Close your eyes, and as you may look at me one day and see that this print on it is spelled incorrectly, it should spell itself differently, but it makes sense at the moment. Close your eyes. These are the signs of true forgiveness. No reminders of the offense. No cold shoulder. No angry pouting. No cruel affection. No withheld favors. No intimidation of routine kindness. No stubborn untowardness. No superior miles. No fear of threats. No humiliations in front of others. Glow in your eyes. but did not involve risk. To love is to risk appearing cool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

[16:02]

To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To base your ideas, your dreams, the boy proud is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risk must be chintened, for the greater habit is to risk nothing. The person who risks one thing, tries nothing, has nothing, and gives nothing. Then they avoid suffering as follows, for they cannot learn, change, grow, love, live. Changed by their attitude, they are informed. They are told that it is reduced. Only a person who risks is free. So many of our problems largely have not come naturally. In the midst of contradictions, disappointments, even contempt, the final tool to challenge nostalgia is prayer. Pray. Pray a blessing on your brother.

[17:04]

Pray earnestly, fervently, and intuitively, for we are told, finally all of you have used your spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart, and a calm mind. Do not be transceiving for evil or refining for reviving, but on the contrary, pray. but it seems to have increased, but you may have seen a missing. Trent was a regular visitor at the racetrack, not idling in much of the non-usual sights. Right before the first race, a chocolate freak visited one of the places in the stable area and gave it a go-ahead, trying to watch the horse race very carefully, and sure enough, the last horse came in first. Charlie followed the priest to go on the next street, and he gave the rest of the savings, and went on to their regular procedure. Showing up, the next horse came in by two lengths, and Charlie was sold for $50. The priest continued the same procedure to the next two ridges, and Charlie won each time. So between the ridges, Charlie left the track, and went to the bank, and withdrew his life savings of $29. The biggest race of the day was the last one. Charlie followed the priest, and watched carefully the next horse he left.

[18:05]

He then went to the pension window, and withdrew his whole life savings on that horse to win. Then Charlie went out to watch the horses race. Down the stretch they came, and when they crossed the finish line, the boy Charlie spotted was late on, came in, dead last. Charlie was crushed. He located the priest and told him that he'd been watching them race off the track all day, and they'd only came 100, except the last horse, on which he'd bet his life savings. Charlie then asked, what happened to the last horse, which he'd left? Why didn't it close like the others? Thanks for the trouble with you, Corsican. Guide the brief. You can never tell the difference between a petting and the last bite. One thing that is our brethren, so it's our nursery. Nursery, they're two different from us. They don't share the same view or values. We try to help understand them, and they don't seem to get to find them. Yet, we've found that they would all like to be treated different. This is part of the passage of community life, as though being able to love our brethren is a desire of our past. Will you be the ones who will serve the Ancestry?

[19:06]

Will you listen to the harsh cries of your neighbor after everyone else has walked away? Will you be the ones who stayed up long to hear and work this story? Will you be the ones who look forward to the return of me in the Jairus and the Amulet, the Archipelago? Will you try to find the descendants of your father in the ones who shunned you? Will you be the one to keep on nodding, even when the lights are out of your face? [...] Will you be the one to keep on nodding, even when the Would you rather pardon than be pardoned? Would you rather fight than be fight? Understand rather than be understood? Can you accept insults and give false praise in exchange? Take ridicule and give false understanding in exchange? Will you never have an opportunity to disobey your own province of country in your heart?

[20:11]

Will you cease nothingly of my will in the ways it has pushed you? Then, tremendous heart, kneel to the right people in pure love. Let me invite you to stand with me as I speak with you in this prayer of faith, a prayer for relatives, friends, and enemies. Jesus, Son of Mary, we pray for all who are near and dear to us. We beg you to bring them forward into the light of your truth, or to keep them in your truth, if they already know it, and to keep them in a state of grace, and to give them the gift of perseverance. Lord, we pray for our fathers and our mothers, for our children, for our brothers and sisters, for our friends, for our neighbours, for our superiors and for those who wish us well, for those who wish us ill, for our enemies, for our rivals, for our injured and for our survivors, and not only for the living, but for the dead. who abides in the grace of God, that he may shorten their time of expiation, and his repentance into his own abode.

[21:19]

Amen.
