The things you have to, the things you want to do, and the things you ought to do. Father David Boettner delivers the homily at the 9 a.m. Mass at the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville, Tenn.

God the Father is the best of all fathers, and He tries to help us to know how to be in a relationship with Him by giving us the 10 Commandments. His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, tries to help us make room in our hearts and our minds for a good relationship with the heavenly Father. His example of clearing out the temple, reminds us of how we are to clear our souls from sinful tendencies. Listen to my homily to learn more!

What are you doing? Sometimes the people around us could be doing things that just don't make sense to us. We might want to ask him this question, and the same can be true with God. However, God has a plan and he's in charge and he knows what he's doing and he can bring good out of anything. Listen to my homily to learn more.

Sermons preached at Church of the Good Shepherd, Maitland, Florida.

Today we have the story of the prodigal son, or perhaps better titled a father and his two sons. Continuing with the seven deadly sins series today we are going to talk about greed and envy as we see it in the story of the father and his two sons. Also we are going to cover how to overcome these sins and grow in virtues of detachment, generosity, charity, gratitude, love of others, and contentment.

As we head towards the Fourth Sunday in Lent, Mark B and Mark G talk prodigal brothers, new creations, food from the sky, and learning to milk cows. Join us for this week's episode of Between 2 Sundays. (Readings for the Fifth Sunday in Lent are: Joshua 5:9-12; Psalm 32; 2 Corinthian 5:16-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32).

We continue the series on the seven deadly sins and their corresponding virtues, covering today the sin of gluttony and sloth, with temperance and perseverance in the faith countering them. Listen to my homily to learn more.

The Third Sunday in Lent is upon us. As we approach Mark B and Mark G find themselves sifting through freebies, fig trees, spiritual food and drink and steadfast love. Join us up and down a few scriptural rabbit holes in this week's episode of Between 2 Sundays. (Readings for the Third Sunday in Lent are: Isaiah 55:1-9; Psalm 68:1-8; 1 Corinthians 10:1-13; Luke 13:1-9).

This Lenten season the priests of ICD are doing a series on the seven deadly sins and the corresponding virtues to counter them. In this first homily of the series I briefly explain sin in general then talk about pride in particular and the virtue of humility to counter pride.

What is temptation? We know that everyone experiences it, even Jesus as we hear in our Gospel passage today. Listen to my homily to better understand temptation and how to avoid and overcome it.

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus asks us to give up money, time, and food. But he's really only asking us to give up our self-justification so we can get our identity from the One who already gave up everything on the cross for us.

Saturday, The Fifth Week of Lent (Mar. 27)A Healed HeartNarrated by Renea GernantZacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” Luke 19:8 This tax collector's heart had just been healed by Jesus. Before this, his diseased heart felt “The more I get, the better off I am.” Now he understood the true values of earthly and heavenly treasures, and his healthy heart knew “The more I give, the better off I am.”It takes a long time for the healing power of Jesus’ wounds to heal the toxic virus of “stuff-ness” in the diseased heart. With extended exposure to the Christ of the Cross, however, miracles can happen in the most stubborn heart. Perhaps you can make that a goal for yourself in these last days of Lent.REFLECT: In what ways can you be as generous as Zacchaeus? PRAY: Continue to heal my heart, Lord, with your love and grace. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish. 

Friday, The Fifth Week of Lent (Mar. 26)A Poor Rich ManNarrated by Kimberly HordJesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.” Matthew 19:21 The rich man asked, “What must I do to have eternal life?” In reply, Jesus said, "To ‘earn’ a treasure in heaven, give away all your earthly treasure.” The poor rich man was unable to do that—and so are we!Jesus has done for us what we cannot do for ourselves. He gave his life to earn a treasure in heaven for us. That heavenly treasure is now his gift to us, making us poor people incredibly rich. “Healed by his wounds," we have a whole new perspective on the value of the “stuff” we own, what earthly people call riches. What riches we have!REFLECT: Think about what makes us rich in Christ.PRAY: When I feel anxious about my earthly riches, Lord, remind me of the true treasure you have given me. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish. 

Thursday, The Fifth Week of Lent (Mar. 25)Your True TreasureNarrated by Kate AllenWhere your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ... You cannot serve God and money.Matthew 6:21, 24 Test yourself: Is it easier to find an excuse to give less to God (church, charity) or an excuse to spend more on yourself (pleasure, treasure)? My heart and mind argue constantly between serving God (denying self) and serving self (stealing from God).It’s really a question of where our heart is, and where we want it to be. This debate is never fully resolved: should my true treasure be determined by my human nature or by my new self made in the image of Jesus?The healing wounds of Jesus can give you strength to overrule your human instincts and focus your heart on the true treasure that is yours eternally. Keep that in focus as you decide daily whom you will serve.REFLECT: How will you serve Jesus today?PRAY: Fill me with your Spirit, Jesus, and help me remember my true treasure. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Wednesday, The Fifth Week of Lent (Mar. 24)Treasures in HeavenNarrated by Steve TrustyDo not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:19, 20Everything you own is yours—but only for a short time. Someday it will all pass on to someone else, for there are no trailer hitches on hearses. Time steals all your stuff eventually. Jesus died to give you a treasure that will outlast all your earthly possessions. You can add to that heavenly balance sheet by using your earthly goods for eternal purposes. What you give to help the needy, to advance the kingdom of God on earth, to increase the population of heaven—all that will live on after you leave earth.Live for the future that goes on forever, not for the present that dies with you.REFLECT: What treasures in heaven are you looking forward to the most? PRAY: Expand my vision, Lord, to see beyond the here and now. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Tuesday, The Fifth Week of Lent (Mar. 23)Healing a Stingy HeartNarrated by Jennifer PetersonWhen you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:3-4We all know that “God loves a cheerful giver.” The cynic (often one with a stingy heart) says, “If I can’t give cheerfully, I won't give.” Jesus suggests a sure cure for such a stingy heart.For one, giving to help the needy (or for a worthy cause) is an act of love that honors your loving Savior. It also pleases the Father, who is delighted to see his children being motivated by his merciful love.Here's a thought: Do not give till it hurts. Instead, give till it feels good and brings you cheer. Your Savior is ready to heal you and to help you know the joy of giving love.REFLECT: Think of new ways to give to the Lord.PRAY: Lord Jesus, take away my false love of stuff and enable me to give with loving cheerfulness. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

On the 5th Sunday of Lent (Mar 21, 2021)

Monday, The Fifth Week of Lent (Mar. 22)Healing, Not MisleadingNarrated by Tami BoesigerThey began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.” Luke 23:2Jesus, of course, was not misleading anyone. He was all about healing people and leading them in the right direction. His intent is still the same for us, seeking to redirect our lives in God's intended direction.Satan's aim is to mislead us away from God's loving will. When we expose our attitudes and actions to the healing wounds of Jesus, he can redirect us to the path of healthy godliness. Turn to the Savior, whose healing wounds reconcile you with the Father, and submit to his will for your life.REFLECT: Who or what may be trying to lead you away from Christ? PRAY: I repent, Lord Jesus, of my misdirected life; heal my deadly sinfulness and lead me to new life. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

The Fifth Sunday of Lent (Mar. 21)Becoming a Better PersonNarrated by Amanda WoodYou shall not steal. Exodus 20:15The devil, the world and our sinful self poison our minds: If we have more “stuff, we are better off—we are even a better person! Stealing “stuff” then becomes an easy shortcut to becoming a better person. How toxic is that! Jesus sets us on the true path to becoming a better person. His wounds heal our poisoned minds. He “steals” our deadly sins, replacing them with God’s gracious love and mercy. There is no better person than one who thinks and acts faithfully as a child of God.We are engaged in a lifelong healing process. Our poisoned human sinfulness is forgiven daily. In its place, God injects the healing medicine of his Holy Spirit who makes us better not because of what we have but because of what we are—beloved children of the heavenly Father.REFLECT: What is in need of healing in your life?PRAY: Cure my poisoned mind, Lord, with the healing wounds of your beloved Son, Jesus. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Saturday, The Fourth Week of Lent (Mar. 20)Celebrate Your HealingNarrated by Yvonne Wilson"Bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.” And they began to celebrate. Luke 15:23-24Our sins are not minor missteps. [hey are toxic, terminal; every sin turns us away from God and leads to death. God's grace, however, is truly amazing; Jesus took our place in death, healing us by his wounds and filling us with new life. It’s free; it’s a gift; it’s grace!Celebrate your healing by living in grace, by giving as freely as you have received. Love as you have been loved; forgive as you have been forgiven. Rejoice today, no matter what cloud darkens your horizon, for you are healed and you have new life today and for eternity. Celebrate!REFLECT: Take time to celebrate the goodness of God’s grace.PRAY: Turn my eyes to the cross of Jesus, gracious Father. Heal my sinfulness by your grace. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Friday, The Fourth Week of Lent (Mar. 19)Welcome Home, SonNarrated by Katelin AustinHe arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. Luke 15:20 The prodigal son knew he had lost the right to be allowed back into the family.He had turned his back on his father and wasted his inheritance on sinful living. He hoped to get hired on by his father as a servant.The father did not wait for excuses or bargains. He welcomed the wayward son with open arms. No matter what he had been or where he had been, he was still a loved son.Because of Jesus, we receive the same welcome from our heavenly Father. No matter how badly we have messed up, we have a place in the family of God. Count on it—by his wounds, we are healed and welcomed.REFLECT: How have you been like the prodigal son lately?PRAY: Cast me not away from your presence, dear Heavenly Father. Amen.(Psalm 51:11)Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Thursday, The Fourth Week of Lent (Mar. 18)He Knows What We NeedNarrated by Diana Stiner‘I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” Luke 7:47-48Everyone knew what she was—a sinner; she knew it, too, and felt the burden of her guilt. She knew that Jesus proclaimed the good news of God's forgiving love, so she came to him with an extravagant display of gratitude and affection. Jesus knew what she was and what she needed, and he gave it to her freely: “Your sins are forgiven.”He knows what we need as well. From the cross, by his wounds he offers the healing grace we desperately need. Accept it as freely as he offers it, and live in thankful affection for his sacrifice that makes you whole.REFLECT: Recognize your need for forgiveness.PRAY: I know my sins are great, Lord, but I believe your healing power isgreater than my need. Grant me the grace to respond with generous praise. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Wednesday, The Fourth Week of Lent (Mar. 17)He Does Not Condemn UsNarrated by Alma IwenJesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” John 8:10-11Make no mistake: God's Law condemns all of us sinners to death. Dust you are and to dust you shall return. The soul that sins, it shall die. That's the bad news. Jesus did not condemn the sinful woman. She was guilty, but Jesus came to take the place of all guilty sinners under God’s judgment and extend forgiveness and new life to all believers. “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).With faith in Jesus, trust that your new life stretches beyond the grave that awaits you. You are healed forever by his wounds. That's the good news. REFLECT: Take time to give all your guilt over to God.PRAY: Take away the guilt I still feel, Lord Jesus. Restore to me the joy of salvation. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Tuesday, The Fourth Week of Lent (Mar. 16)Narrated by Crystal Swafford(Jesus) stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7They caught this woman in the act of adultery. Bringing her to Jesus, they expected him to agree that the law should be enforced and the sinner punished.Then they could feel superior to the obviously sinful woman.Jesus turned the tables on their self-righteous attitude. If any of you is sinless, he may cast the first stone of punishment. One by one, they all disappeared.Jesus wants us to know that we are all equally guilty—but that he went to Calvary for all our transgressions, and by his wounds, we are fully healed.REFLECT: Have you been “casting any stones” lately?PRAY: Show me, Lord, that my sin also deserves to be judged—but you suffered what I deserved, so today I can live in the joyful freedom of forgiving love. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Monday, The Fourth Week of Lent (Mar. 15)Narrated by Kim PorathThe scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that [Jesus] was eating with sinners and taxcollectors, said to his disciples,“Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners? Mark 2:16”The Pharisees believed that if they ate with known sinners, they descended to their level and became contaminated. Jesus deliberately stooped to eat with sinners in order to take their sin upon himself and raise them with God's forgiving grace. This was his purpose on earth. Isn’t it comforting to know that Jesus’ response to our sin is not to avoid us but to join us. On the cross he took our sin, was wounded and died for us, healing our souls with God's forgiving grace, inviting us to join him at the heavenly feast, which has no end. What a privilege!REFLECT: With whom are you spending your time?PRAY: Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest. Share your gift of grace with us sinners. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

For the 3rd Sunday of Lent (Mar 7, 2021)

Saturday, The Second Week of Lent (Mar. 6)Narrated by Jodie SwaffordThe Power of His WordWhen Jesus said to them, "l am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. John 18:6The arresting soldiers had the power of fearsome weapons. Jesus trumped them with the power of his word. He had the power to escape, but that was not the Father’s plan. His purpose was to lose his own life in order to save the lives of dying sinners. He used his power for us, not for himself.Jesus now has power and authority over death. The sound of his voice will raise the dead to eternal life. We can trust his word and promise, guaranteed by his own death and resurrection. The process of dying may be agonizing, but Jesus will awaken us from the sleep of death with a word that will usher in an eternity of glory. Trust his word and know his peace.REFLECT: Think of times when you felt the power of God at work in your life.PRAY: Strengthen my faith by the power of your word, O Lord of life. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Friday, The Second Week of Lent (Mar. 5)Narrated by Matt MartyJesus Tasted DeathWe see him... namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. Hebrews 2:9 Because Jesus tasted death for us, the taste of death is not as bitter for us. By his suffering and death, Jesus defeated our archenemy and became a perfect Savior and was honored with a crown of glory. He defeated death by enduring it—and by rising from the grave. The same path to glory is now open for all who believe in him.We honor Jesus because he tasted death, draining the cup of suffering, to end its power over us. We still may dread the thought of death, but we now see it as the doorway to eternal life where we will share in his kingdom of glory.REFLECT: How can you honor Christ for his suffering for you? PRAY: Lord Jesus, replace my fear of dying with the joy of salvation. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Thursday, The Second Week of Lent (Mar. 4)Narrated by Mary StiggeHis Priority Is You[Jesus] prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 The third time Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, it was a prayer of commitment: “If this cannot pass... your will be done.” Jesus’ main concern was never “what's best for me” but always what’s best for his Father and for the people he was sent to rescue from sin and death. His priority was, and still is, you, as well as all the other sinners that could only be healed by his wounds.When you confront a conflict between your will and God’s, let your priority be set by his prayer: “Thy will be done.” Be sure that Jesus will always help you make God's will your number one priority.REFLECT: How can you show others that God’s will is your priority? PRAY: Lord Jesus, as you did the Father’s will for me, enable me to know and do his will. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

The Collect: Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through […] The post Third Sunday in Lent, Mar. 7, 2021 appeared first on Sunday's Lectionary.

Wednesday, The Second Week of Lent (Mar. 3)Narrated by Kate Oshima“I Am Not Worthy”The centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.” Matthew 8:8 This Roman army officer understood something most people, even today, fail to grasp. Jesus' care and blessing were not reserved only for those who “deserved” it. The unworthy centurion simply believed that Jesus’ aid did not have to be earned.Our Savior's mission was, and is, to extend God's healing grace to foreigners, to outcasts, even to undeserving sinners such as you and me. We never need to wonder if we are good enough to be healed of the sickness of sin. Our salvation has nothing to do with our worthiness; it is based only on the wounds of our gracious, loving Savior, who did it all for us unworthy sinners.REFLECT: How can you show love to those outside of your circle? PRAY: I am not worthy, Lord, but you are, and I welcome your grace. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Tuesday, The Second Week of Lent (Mar. 2)Narrated by Paul Stigge He Died for Each OneWhen Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” John 19:26-27 He died for all, but at the most agonizing point of his suffering, he demonstrated concern for one individual, his mother, placing her in a new family with his beloved disciple. In doing this, he “honored his mother.”Jesus' concern for you is just as personal; you are one of those for whom he diednot merely as a faceless member of a mob of millions but as an individual. He has made you a beloved part of a new family of God, of people healed by his wounds and destined for eternity. At the most agonizing points of your life, trust this truth.REFLECT: How can you show love to those closest to you?PRAY: Hold me close to your heart, Lord Jesus, and fill me with your peace and comfort. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.

Monday, The Second Week of Lent (Mar. 1)Narrated by Sharon ZehnderThe Son of God Dies for the UngodlyFrom then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” John 19:12The mob and its leaders rejected Jesus, demanding his execution. They had no idea how this fit right in with God’s plan of salvation for all of us sinners. By his wounds we are healed; by his death we have eternal life.It's too easy to pass judgment on “the Jews.” Our rejection of Jesus is much more subtle, but we are just as guilty as they are. Every one of our sins added to his crucifixion, but “the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). Jesus lovingly, willingly accepted the burden of the judgment we deserve.That is the gospel healing we celebrate.REFLECT: What can you do to be less judgmental?PRAY: We honor you, Jesus, as our King of kings. Amen.Devotional content provided by Creative Communications for the Parish.
