00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,507
What do you understand when you hear the words, 'the Glory of God'?
2
00:00:04,948 --> 00:00:09,687
The Glory of God is the majesty of God being revealed in the world
3
00:00:09,687 --> 00:00:10,653
here and now.
4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,139
Jesus reveals the God of Father
5
00:00:13,139 --> 00:00:14,720
through His words and actions,
6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,771
through His love and obedience to the Father.
7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,562
And the Father reveals glory of Jesus
8
00:00:19,562 --> 00:00:20,685
in the Resurrection.
9
00:00:21,259 --> 00:00:23,172
But how do we experience
10
00:00:23,172 --> 00:00:25,540
and share in the Glory of God today?
11
00:00:26,261 --> 00:00:27,935
By loving one another.
12
00:00:28,285 --> 00:00:30,262
Jesus’ commandment to love
13
00:00:30,262 --> 00:00:32,475
came at the most darkest of times.
14
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:34,358
At the Last Supper,
15
00:00:34,358 --> 00:00:36,402
Judas has just left to betray Him.
16
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,591
In a few moments He will tell His close friend Peter
17
00:00:39,591 --> 00:00:41,867
that he too will deny Him three times.
18
00:00:42,175 --> 00:00:44,964
And the disciples will run away in fear that night.
19
00:00:45,447 --> 00:00:48,046
What Jesus asks of His disciples, of us,
20
00:00:48,046 --> 00:00:50,231
is not an easy or sentimental love.
21
00:00:50,616 --> 00:00:52,386
It is the command to love
22
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:54,671
without expecting anything in return.
23
00:00:55,049 --> 00:00:58,560
A command to love unconditionally, selflessly,
24
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,929
is the love of the cross and the martyrs,
25
00:01:00,929 --> 00:01:03,660
is the love that includes ones enemies and friends.
26
00:01:04,157 --> 00:01:06,737
It is the love of service and self sacrifice.
27
00:01:07,115 --> 00:01:10,640
It is the love that feeds the hungry, houses the homeless,
28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,384
it remembers to look after the poor, the orphan,
29
00:01:13,384 --> 00:01:14,821
the widow and stranger.
30
00:01:15,444 --> 00:01:17,719
It is a love that challenges us,
31
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,243
confronts us and changes the world.
32
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:23,562
And when we see this love in the Church
33
00:01:23,562 --> 00:01:25,600
we see the Glory of God
34
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,270
because God is Love.
35
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:30,184
And we know that God is with us.
