1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,084
Sean and Sang come to the Cathedral
2
00:00:03,084 --> 00:00:05,920
not just to be ordained by the Bishop,
3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,198
but to be sent out by the Lord.
4
00:00:10,038 --> 00:00:13,611
Now, Jesus has been with Sean and Sang
5
00:00:13,611 --> 00:00:14,803
throughout their life.
6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,728
Even before they were able to recognise His presence.
7
00:00:19,398 --> 00:00:22,113
And since faith took root in their life
8
00:00:22,113 --> 00:00:24,345
they have been with Him.
9
00:00:25,336 --> 00:00:27,933
Jesus never leaves the Father
10
00:00:27,933 --> 00:00:31,087
when He comes to us in the incarnation
11
00:00:31,087 --> 00:00:33,612
and He never leaves us
12
00:00:33,612 --> 00:00:36,412
when He returns to the Father in the Ascension.
13
00:00:37,374 --> 00:00:39,977
When we come to the Father,
14
00:00:39,977 --> 00:00:42,000
we find Jesus.
15
00:00:42,603 --> 00:00:45,077
And when we come to Jesus,
16
00:00:45,077 --> 00:00:46,689
we find the Father.
17
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:51,200
So too with you Sean and Sang,
18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,950
when the people come looking for Jesus,
19
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:58,000
may they find you,
20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,035
and when they come looking for you,
21
00:01:01,035 --> 00:01:03,495
may they find Jesus.
22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,971
In connecting with that God
23
00:01:06,971 --> 00:01:09,307
we are able as priests
24
00:01:09,307 --> 00:01:11,368
to connect with God's people.
25
00:01:12,085 --> 00:01:15,376
In the letter to the Galatians Saint Paul says,
26
00:01:15,376 --> 00:01:20,773
that God was pleased to reveal His Son in me.
27
00:01:21,829 --> 00:01:27,660
Every attempt to silence Paul or to stop him
28
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:31,406
only gave greater impetus to his mission.
29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,302
God revealed His Son not just through Paul,
30
00:01:36,302 --> 00:01:38,526
but in Paul.
31
00:01:39,057 --> 00:01:42,833
Now the same is true of Sang and Sean.
32
00:01:43,398 --> 00:01:45,838
They are to be the revelation.
33
00:01:46,678 --> 00:01:48,964
With all their wounds and weaknesses.
34
00:01:49,445 --> 00:01:51,927
So that God reveals His Son
35
00:01:51,927 --> 00:01:54,535
not just through them,
36
00:01:54,535 --> 00:01:56,177
but in them.
37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,607
This is what it will mean for them to be men of God.
38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,843
It's also what will make them truly men of God's people.
39
00:02:04,447 --> 00:02:08,662
Then they will follow in the footsteps of Saint Anthony of Padua.
40
00:02:09,304 --> 00:02:12,282
Saint Anthony was very much a man of God,
41
00:02:12,282 --> 00:02:14,272
radically conformed to Christ.
42
00:02:14,687 --> 00:02:18,880
But he also knew how to touch the hearts of the people,
43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,317
reach deep into their soul,
44
00:02:21,317 --> 00:02:24,573
he knew how to connect.
45
00:02:25,073 --> 00:02:30,080
If Sean and Sang really can follow in the footsteps of the saint
46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,452
then through the years
47
00:02:32,452 --> 00:02:37,291
their priestly ministry will prove a great gift to the Church
48
00:02:37,291 --> 00:02:39,147
and to the world.
49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,278
And thanksgiving will as Saint Paul says,
50
00:02:43,278 --> 00:02:46,403
overflow to the glory of God.
51
00:02:47,082 --> 00:02:47,898
Amen.
