The Truth by Fr. Larry Richards
What is the meaning of life? What is true?
Who made me? God
Why did God make me? To know God.
God made me to know Him and serve Him.
The most impt thing is to come to know God.
At the end of our life, God gave us what He loved the most: JC.
I gotta be in a rel with Him.
You could know a lot about JC but never know JC.
To know JC is to have everlasting life: eternal decision.
What we do now determines our eternity.
In the end, JC is all that matters.
What do you need from God?
Do not be afraid. 365 times in a Bible
You hurt Me when you don't allow Me to give you things.
You hurt Me when you don't allow Me to love you.
In JC, you are My son.
exorcism: You are God's beloved son.
You wanna know God, you have to know who you are, too or vice versa.
Listen to His heartbeat.
prob: You do not know how much you're loved by God.
If we all knew how much God loves us, we will all be saints.
call to be disciples: He bids them to come to die
Give my life away in death if I love other people.
serve them
The only way people will know you're disciples is when you love each other.
Am I a loving person?
Do I put others in front of me?
A person who loves God is a person who loves others (family).
Be people of love.
I am 3rd: God, others, self last.
JOY: Jesus, others, you
It begins at home, not at Church.
Do we treat people as nice as we treat people at Church?
ff JC: Tell people you love that you love them.
JC commanded us to love, and He forbid us to judge.
I'm a person of love.
deathbed: The only thing that will matter is your relationship.
I wish I love my family more.
You have to tell people that you love them every day. It's time to start. The call of God.
Be people of love.
We're called to serve God.
We're called to know God: prayer.
We're called to love Him by loving others.
We're called to serve by serving others.
prayer is not about God becoming your slave
prayer is about submitting your will to the will of the Master: Your will be done.
We need to be slaves of JC.
JC got to be your Lord.
JC can't be your Savior if He is not your Lord: all aspects of your life.
All or nothing!
You prove your love by the amount of time you spend to.
St. Francis de Sales: 1/2 hr every day in prayer except when busy, needs an hr
You give time for Me, worth your time.
Is God worth your time?
Lord of your life, Lord of your time
#1 priority of a parent is to get your kids to Heaven
#1 priority of a spouse: to get your spouse to Heaven
Is He Lord of your family?
Do you pray together?
Is God in charged of your money?
All your money belongs to God.
OT: top 10th of your income to God
NT: Give everything
Take care of His poor.
sin of omission: what you failed to do
In your lifetime, millions of children die of hunger.
If you don't give 10% of your income to God, you're stealing to God.
Just give until God stops giving to you.
5% to poor, 5% to God
If God is not the Lord of your money, He cannot be your Lord of anything.
Is He Lord of your sexual life?
1st commandment God gave us: Increase and multiply
Pray at the time of intimacy.
God wants to be the One that brings you together: share your soul.
Invite JC to be in the midst of it.
Let God be the Lord of your bedroom life.
God, whatever You want, I will do.
He asks me something I'm not willing to give up: that's what He wants.
Gal 2:19 I have been crucified with JC... JC lives in me.
When JC calls you, he bids you to come and die.
Cross and resurrection
You must be crucified so that He can live inside you.
Surrender!
Commit and recommit life to JC every day.
no dirty hands in Heaven
holding on to anything
Hold so tightly
With God, you have everything.
W/o God, you have nothing but a handful of dirt.
You can be dust forever, or you can take the dust today and surrender to JC.
Hold nothing back.
Sit at the feet of the Master.
Develop the attitude of a Master, Phil 2:2.
Transform into the Master.
Be a fanatic of JC.
Go to the Word of God. Spend time with God every day.
No Bible, no breakfast.
No Bible, no bed.
Know the catechism.
Grow in JC.
Are you here to serve or be served?
Transformed into Christ.
Christian: another Christ
See JC in me.
Die more and more to self so that JC will grow in me.
The purpose is to bring people to JC.
If JC is anything like you, I cannot wait to meet JC.
St Francis of Assissi: Preach JC to others, and if possible, use words.
A Christian is one who died in Christ.
We will live with JC forever in Heaven by being a saint.
You and I are to become saints.
Be holy to see God, not an option.
St. Jean Vianney: Pray and love, the glorious duty of man.
Listen, surrendered to Him.
Pray.
Never fit God into your day.
Fill your life with God.
Tell everybody you love that you love them.
Pray and love to become a great saint.
In the end, that's all that matters is to become a saint.
