Fr James Brent, O.P., reminds us that whatever happens to us is also happening to Christ in us. You and I are so closely united with Jesus Christ, as branches are to the vine, that our joys, sufferings, and daily experiences are shared in him.
Watch the full episode 41 of Contemplata to reflect on this profound union with Christ.

If someone who was already incredibly successful in the very thing you dream of doing offered to mentor you for free, would you accept?
Most of us would immediately say, “Of course I would!”
But what if they asked you to commit just two hours a day to learning, growing, and applying what they taught?
Suddenly, many would hesitate. Excuses would appear: “I’m too tired after work,” “I don’t have time,” “Maybe later…”
I once knew a man who came to the United States with nothing. He got a job at a convenience store and, instead of renting an apartment, slept in the restroom to save every penny. His coworkers didn’t understand. Some even laughed. But he wasn’t living for the moment — he was living for a vision.
In time, the owner promoted him to manager. Still, he didn’t change his habits. He continued to save. Eventually, he saved enough to buy that store. Then another. Then another. Before long, he owned a chain of stores and created the life others only talked about wanting.
He understood something powerful: Pleasure can wait — dreams cannot.
He learned from others, he listened, he applied, and he refused to let comfort steal his destiny.
Now here is the incredible truth:
God has already given us the ultimate manual for a fulfilled, successful, and meaningful life. And not only that — He has given us the Holy Spirit as our personal mentor, guide, and teacher.
Right now — not someday, not later, but in this very moment — you have access to wisdom, strength, insight, and power far beyond anything you have ever imagined.
This week, I want to help you discover the role of the Holy Spirit as the Great Teacher — the One who will lead us, step by step, into the life God designed for us.
If you’ve ever felt like your breakthrough was close but just out of reach…If you’ve ever known there was more to life than what you’re experiencing today...If you’ve ever longed for clarity, direction, or confidence…
Then this message is for you.
Join me in this week’s CyberChurch episode, The Holy Spirit: The Great Teacher, and let’s take the next step together toward the life you were created to live.

This sermon focuses on the theological meaning of Christ's entrance into earthly Jerusalem as a prelude to our entrance into the heavenly Jerusalem, emphasizing the concept of "rest" throughout the Bible. The speaker meticulously outlines three types of rest: God's rest after creation on the Sabbath, the temporary rest achieved by Joshua entering the promised land (Canaan), and the ultimate, remaining rest that is the eternal rest for the people of God. Citing Hebrews 4:9, the speaker highlights the unique Greek term sabbatismos (Sabbath rest) used by Paul, arguing that this signifies the final, perfect rest of entering heaven. Ultimately, the sermon concludes that Christ’s entry into earthly Jerusalem was the crucial step, the ultimate price paid, to ensure believers could attain this eternal sabbatismos.

Entering into Jerusalem

This sermon addresses the profound difference between man's perception of blindness and God's understanding of it, drawing heavily from John chapter 9, the story of the man born blind. Traditionally, both the disciples and the Jews believed physical blindness was a direct punishment for sin committed by the individual or their parents, reflecting a wrong concept of a judgmental God. However, Jesus introduces a radical new perspective, stating that the man's condition was not due to sin, but rather so the works of God might be displayed. Ultimately, Jesus defines the true affliction as spiritual blindness, which is the cruelty of heart and an unwillingness to accept divine truth, exemplified by those who witnessed his miracles yet remained closed off to his authority and message. The source challenges listeners to examine themselves to ensure they are not harboring this deeper spiritual ailment despite experiencing God's daily messages and works.

This Soundcloud channel carries the radio program portion of The Fullness of Truth Apostolate, founded in 2001 and run by Timothy O'Keefe.  The entire apostolate strives to explain Catholic teaching and respond to objections made against the Catholic faith.  The radio program does so by addressing some particular teaching related to the Sunday Mass Gospel reading, and then offering a detailed commentary on the reading itself.  The apostolate also consists of talks, weekly classes, 
and a blog.  The blog address is:

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.
