1 John 1:1-4 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

Obeying the Commandments Lead to Complete Joy - Fr. Daniel Klimek | 5/7/26

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050726.cfmFather Daniel Klimek, PhD, explains that the Council of Jerusalem established that faith in Christ, not painstaking adherence to the Mosaic Law, is the path to salvation, while clarifying that moral works remain essential as a fruit of that living faith. Father Daniel contrasts the secular view of God's commandments as unnecessarily restrictive chains with the biblical reality that obeying Christ is an act of love that brings complete joy and human flourishing. By remaining in this relationship of love, believers discover that true freedom is found, not by ignoring the law, but in honoring and obeying the Father who desires their happiness.⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=pod✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=pod⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy!https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=podFollow Us on Social Media!

Continuing our series “Got Joy?”, Pastor Chase teaches how Paul starts off challenging us in how we should live our lives for Christ…in a manner worthy of the gospel:  How? In our conduct….in our consistency….cooperating with others….and He will give us courage through the difficult times. In doing this we will become ‘like minded' and find encouragement and comfort, sharing in the spirit and courage lived out in tenderness and compassion.But Paul reminds us to do all this while putting others first, and then our joy will be complete.Key Scriptures:Philippians 1:27-30, 2:1-4, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Joshua 1:9, Deuteronomy 31:6, I Chronicles 28:20, I Corinthians 16:13, James 3:16

We continue to learn from Paul's letter to Philippi, as we dive into chapter two. Seeing Paul's request to make his joy complete in verse two, Pastor Brandon leads us in understanding what that means and the aspects of living out that charge by Paul. Teaching us that as a body of believers living this life together we should cultivate a spirit of unity, express humility and selflessness, and choose to serve one another diligently; just as in Christ came to serve and not be served. Through chapter two we ultimately learn that joy is worth fighting for! - Key Verses // Philippians 2 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

Picking up where we left off in last week's Gospel, Jesus continues his Last Supper discourse, this time turning his attention to love, the law, and friendship with God. Taking the lead of the evangelist himself we explore the idea of belovedness and how receptivity to Divine love is the foundation of the spiritual life. Bringing in the topic of the law as well as the thought of Thomas Aquinas we discover that the practice of abiding in God's love has very little to do with our own efforts and everything to do with God's.Diving deep into our Gospel we'll spend our episode looking closer at:- What, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, we must do in order to keep God's commandments [8:49]- The Greek etymology of the word "friend" and what it can tell us about being friends of God [18:48]- The two Old Testament figures that were said to be friends of God [31:20]- Greco-Roman and Jewish conceptions of friendship that likely inform our Gospel [41:52]- Jewish inheritance law and what it has to say about friendship and servitude [45:04]- Some priestly overtones subtly present in the latter part of Jesus' exhortation to the Twelve [51:35]
