Hey Virgo, welcome back to your love reading. This is Kelly from the House of Virgo. Here to do the rest of January 2023 love reading for Virgo. Virgo sun, moon, rising, or Venus. And as always, some of the messages may or may not resonate. Just take with fits, leave the rest. Also, there's a link in the description box for a personal reading. If you want to book a personal reading with me, okay? So today we're going to do for you Virgo the Celtic Cross, okay? I want to ask specific questions for you and please do make sure you smash that like and subscribe button. I greatly appreciate that. And all the links for everything else you need to follow me on social media. All the links, everything is below there. Okay? All right, so let's take a look at your past, the past position, where you are coming from, the recent past, where you are coming from, Virgo. All right, coming from a good place, definitely strong solid foundation, kind of pentacles. It looks like in the past you are in the recent past you've reached some type of milestone in your life. Whether that's in work, career, your health, or love, it looks like you've left some type of a legacy. Maybe you have grandchildren or you have retirement. You've recently retired for others. This is like you've received an inheritance perhaps and for others you might have, you know, ended up like a job, finished out a completion of a particular job or that kind of situation and now you're trying to, you know, go into something different perhaps. The ten is always completion for me. So some of you might have ended a marriage or a long-term relationship in the recent past.  Recently you might have had an anniversary for something that you've celebrated. Let me see what else they can tell you about your past, okay? Yeah, looks like past type of recent past, like you were locked in. You were locked in in the past. There was a lot of restrictions. You couldn't move. I'm picking up like very routine energy, but I also feel like like material, I feel like maybe your work or your career, there was just this like got to be in power, got to be the authority on things, got to be organized, but also, you know, just a feeling of like, felt isolated in something. And recently, maybe you've graduated from something, okay, whether it's a relationship or career, could have been school, anything like that. You were locked in for a long time, maybe eight years, some of you. Okay, so it looks like that came to an end recently and it looks like you have just reached probably as far as you thought you could go with something in particular, or someone in particular, okay? A lot of you could have been in a long-term relationship with someone that had you really on edge as well. That ate a sword's energy, really like feeling isolated in a relationship of any kind, felt imprisoned and just very restricted. And it looks like with that 10, that's the finale. That's like done. All right, let's take a look and see what your current energy is, your situation right now, Berville. Okay, well, there's a little bit of struggle here, a little uncertainty right now, so there's definitely change. You're in this period of realignment, gaining your freedom back, perhaps maybe thinking about traveling, but there's definitely uncertainty and a feeling of maybe some financial struggles. If you've gained an inheritance, I don't know, you might have had to pay a lot of tax on that, but as far as matters of the heart go, I feel like you're like standing there right now on your own, okay? It's kind of cold out there. It feels kind of cold out there, Bergo, with that five of pentacles. There's this strong like worry, still feeling a sense, maybe a residual isolation or a sense of like being left out in the cold, and just kind of like trying to get into the warmth, okay? You might have, somebody might have like abandoned you or you abandoned, so I just feel this sense of you being out here by yourself right now and doing everything you can to make ends meet. So that's the current situation. What is the block? Oh, page of ones. There might be this, should you or should you not reach out to somebody? Should you or should you not initiate or try to get more active or start a new project or try to get into a new relationship with someone? Should you or should you not text someone or reach out or call? Hmm. Yeah, Bergo, there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding that, you know? Should I talk to them? Should I reach back out again? There's like a lot of uncertainty in regards to that. Maybe because you feel left out in the cold, maybe there's abandonment and anxiety and a feeling of like needing to either reach out to someone that a relationship ended or that things didn't work out or start over. Should you initiate? Should you say something? Okay, should you, I feel like activate your love life?  Because that page of wands is like a warmth, you know?   Like to start a fire in your heart and like calling on someone to help you, I feel. And that obviously is just a metaphor.  Okay, so currently, but that's in the position of the block. So currently, I feel like you're like, I don't know. I don't know what I should do here. All right, let's take a look right now. What's the root of the problem that you're dealing with in your life right now? Like where is it coming from? Okay, the chariot. So there could be a long-distance relationship at this time, where the root of the problem is that it's long distance. And also making progress. The root of the problem is that is this going to progress or not, some type of connection with someone? How far is it going to go? That's cancer energy there. How far can this actually go? The root of the problem is that action and change needs to be taken. And a journey needs to be had. Okay. Somebody needs to take a trip here. And I feel like it's you, you need to like, you know, get on that plane or get on that horse or two horses or get in that car and go see somebody. Okay, so let me see what else can they tell you here. Okay, yeah, the four of wands. You need to go to somebody's house or go see someone at their home or where someone lives to connect with this person. Not them come to you. It looks like you have to go to them. I don't know. If it's long distance, Vargo, I feel like there's a lot of uncertainty about somebody. Excuse me, I'm so sorry. I feel like there's a lot of uncertainty. There's not enough information. There's a need to like, form a structure foundation for a relationship. Yeah, I'm not so sure if that's something, I mean, I don't know whether it's something that you need to do or not, but I feel like you need to go sniffing around somebody's neighborhood and get some information. There's also something here about somebody doesn't want to go home, I'm hearing. Somebody doesn't want to return home. Somebody does not want to have a reunion. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean it's another person. I feel like this is you. Yeah, there's two messages. It's like, or it doesn't want family involved in a particular situation or a relationship. I feel like, Vargo, you want to go out on your own and take care of business, but I feel like you need to seek out the support as well in whatever this endeavor or this relationship connection that you are, I don't, it just feels like something might have ended. And you're standing out there like feeling cold and feeling lost and wanting to reach out, but not sure. I feel like this is more along the lines of like, you need to go somewhere. You need to go to that person's home. All right. That's a very interesting message there. Let me see what the possibilities are here for this connection. What are the possible? Okay, so a ton of cops, you know, Virgo, in regards to this connection here, I mean, this is like a happily ever after, but I feel like you have to take some action. Yeah, 10 of cups. The pause, like, I don't know how to explain this. I mean, it's like, it's right there, but it feels like you have to go find something out for yourself here, Virgo. You have to be the one to make this move. Okay, let me see the possibilities are marriage, long-term happiness, joy, total love and support, you know, just all of those cups, like all that emotion, celebration, feeling fulfilled, just wishes coming true. Yeah, you have to go find, you have to go see something you have to go do. Okay, let me see what direction you're headed in the near future. Okay, well, of course, Virgo, you're going to weigh the pros and cons. Yeah, definitely. You're going to weigh your options here before you make any moves. I see that. I don't feel like you're the kind of person who's just going to, I don't see you taking a risk. I mean, there are some Burgos who will do that, but I don't see you taking a risk. I feel like you're going to weigh the pros and the cons, the situation before you make a move going forward here.  And it almost feels like an advice, but it feels like whatever this relationship, whatever this connection, struggle, issue, problem or just, it's a love thing that has so much potential to go forward, but it feels like you have to be the one. It's like, it feels like the ball is in your court now. Okay, that's how it feels. And it looks like you want to be sure before you swing the bat, or, you know, swing the tennis racket, you want to be sure before you serve that this is a game that you want to get involved with or a match that you want to be involved with. Okay, so you're going to like kind of pull it back. That's the direction you're heading and really kind of weigh it out. And a lot of ways, like I feel like you have two options here. It's either, should I go or should I stay or should I go? What should I do? Right. Yeah. Okay, and you're holding tight, this tight to your heart going forward in January about this decision that you need to make twos are always about decisions. Okay, it's all about duality, partnership, choices, the opposition, reflecting on what your options are and diversity. And of course, the four here represents like realization. Is this going to be stable? Is this going to be something that will work out for me? I don't know, Virgo, I don't know. We'll see how things go, but I feel like for you, you got to make a move here because you're never going to know unless you, you know, step up to the plate and swing. Me and my sports analogies. So let me take a look. How are you viewing yourself in January, Virgo? How are you viewing yourself in relation to this whole situation?  That's double energy.  But I feel like you're viewing yourself as I'm too obsessed with this situation. I need to let this go. That's Capricorn energy there. Some of you are like, I'm like, you're feeling like, I don't know, Virgo, you are, all right, I'm just going to give it to you straight. Some of you have like this strong lust for somebody here. And you're questioning, like, I feel like you're looking at yourself like I am so obsessed with this person, like saying to yourself, and this, like maybe I'm the toxic one. Virgo, are you asking yourself?  Are you, did you play a role in something? I don't know what the situation exactly. Maybe it was related to yesterday's reading, but some of you are like questioning, maybe I'm the narc or maybe I'm the one who's like, I can't get rid of this pull. What is wrong with me? I'm addicted. Okay.  Let me see.  You have a lot of plans and ideas and I, you know, I feel like you feel here that this is something that you absolutely cannot let go of some kind of idea here to finish something out, finish what you store, start or get some more information about a relationship or a person. Absolutely. Are you going to go to where someone is to find out more information or to get the full picture? Yeah. Well, I want to see what action will you take because I know you're getting to a place where you are weighing your options here. What action will Virgo take? Yeah, Virgo's like seven of pentacles, just still contemplating Virgo, you're going to think this to death, aren't you? Yes, you are.  Otherwise, I see you like, what action? No action, you know? Yeah, I don't see you taking any action. I think, I think it's like really dawning on you or something's hitting you and it like coming to your mind about what you need to do. But yeah, you don't want to make any wrong moves here, Virgo, heading towards someone or making a decision to take action towards another person. Let me take a look and see the other person. What is the energy for the other person? Okay. So Queen of Wands, male or masculine or feminine energy. So Queen of Wands is basically like, you know, someone who's very bold and courageous, Sagittarius Aries Leo. Okay, so this person sits in a position of confidence, feeling very self assured, powerful, charming, courageous type of person. Wow, could be a Leo, there's a sun. Very positive. This person is like, at least towards you as well.  They might live in a warm area. They might have, it could be a mother who has a young son. For others, it could be a father who has a young son. But I feel like this person is the very positive outlook towards you, for sure. I mean, okay, but they think you stress too much. They think you worry too much.  You just, you worry about everything. You get nervous, so you worry about things that you're like, things, I don't know if you, you worry about the little things. And then they snowball into these mountains.   But then at night, I think that you, you stress a lot at night. I mean, Virgo, this person wants to connect with you, definitely, they want to have a connection with you. But something, I don't know if like in the past, in a relationship in the past, a long-term relationship made you, makes you feel very restricted or suffocated. And then when that's over, then you're like, no, but wait, you want to be with someone, like, so I don't know, I feel like you're going through some stuff here, trying to come to terms with yourself. It's like, if the person, if you're not with someone, then you want to be with someone, but if then if they're, if you're with them, and then there's too much time with them, then you want to be away from them. So you're kind of, and that really feels like this to a medicals. It's, it's kind of like, okay, one minute you're up, one minute you're down. And I do feel like you're kind, like trying to balance your, your emotions, definitely, and just kind of ride the wave a little bit here. But Virgo, I feel like this person, I mean, there is, there's a spark, definitely, or they want to make a spark, have a spark with you, sit down and have like, you know, drinks, they want to hold your hand, they want to look you in the eyes, they want to be with you, feel your presence, you know, I feel like if you're trying to make a decision to go towards someone, if they've asked you to come to them, Virgo, I feel like they really mean it. I feel like they really want you to come. Okay. They don't want you to stress. They want you to be that bold, positive, joyous person. And maybe, you know, take something to help you sleep, so you don't stress, or whatever, whatever you need to do, or practice some meditation or some breathing exercises, so you don't stress. I just feel, Virgo, with that two of cups, that whoever this other person is, they truly have romantic feelings for you. They see themselves in a love relationship partnership with you. I mean, there's even the potential for a proposal of marriage. Yeah, so I don't know, Virgo, I don't feel, I feel like it's kind of, I don't feel like there's anything wrong with you. I just feel like your, maybe you've had some toxic stuff in your life that's happened, or there was a relationship that was a little bit toxic, or this situation. I'm not sure, but you've been triggered.  Okay, so yeah, you got to just go and see, I think you got to go and find out. All right, hopes and fears, what are your hopes, Virgo? What are your hopes? Okay, yeah, of course, who wouldn't want that six of ones?   I feel like you're seeking recognition, not validation, but you're seeking recognition from someone. And I feel like you hope that this person can see you the way you see them, which is a very strange message. Because I feel like you might see this person as being someone who is, you know, in a victory position, they have a lot of support, they have a lot of people around them that just kind of like cheer them on all the time.  Yeah, I don't know if this person has a tremendous amount of people around them. I feel like you don't want to just be another person in the crowd that loves them. I feel like you want to be the only one. You want to be the one that they recognize. And I feel like that's something that you're hoping for. This is the weirdest, most strangest message that I think I have gotten so far. In the time that I've done tarot, I've gotten some weird messages here, Virgo, but I don't know. Let me see what your fears are, Virgo. Okay, fearing yourself, you're fearing that you won't be able to emotionally connect with this person, you know, or you fear that this person also will only want you for your money or for material things, okay, or look at you like an object. But Virgo, it might be more that you might be viewing yourself that way. I feel like you might be viewing yourself as not worthy of anything more than just being an object to another person or this person, right? I don't know who this is that you have had this connection with or that you will have this connection with going forward, or this could be someone you're currently connecting with right now. And I know this sounds really specific, so I'm not sure this is going to be for every person, so please leave me a comment and let me know if this resonates for you. Virgo, but I feel like mostly you're fearing yourself, okay? Why? I have to ask.  I feel like Virgo, you don't want to or just in general show that to people. I'm not really sure why, but I feel like you want to just try to keep it all together. Virgo's like to be in control and I feel like you don't want anyone to know that you've had sadness. You don't want this person to know that deep inside you're hurting and you want to impress this person or show them that you are over it, but Virgo, then you're not being transparent.  I feel like that's what would make the relationship very successful because there's this like teardrop that somebody needs to see that you have like drop a teardrop here and there or, you know, just to have a conversation with someone.  Now you're happy emotions, your grief because then that might overwhelm you. And I feel like Virgo, you don't want to feel overwhelmed by your emotions. So you do have a tendency probably to keep it all together.  I get it. Where this energy is heading, the total outcome, where the energy is heading. All right. So the magician, I mean, Virgo, there's a huge opportunity. I feel like Virgo, the need to tell you already made a fool of yourself. So let it go.  You might be saying that to yourself. Look, it's done. Okay. It's over with. It's done.   Somewhere along the line, you showed some weakness. And, okay, because a full heart comes before the magician says somewhere along the line, you took a chance or you took a risk and maybe something didn't work out or you, you felt like, oh, why did I do that? You know, but look where things are heading, you know, after the fools, now we can actually focus because you got the hard part out of the way. We had the hard part out of the way. Okay. And what is the hard part? The hard part is like tripping and stumbling and, you know, getting that pride and that ego out of the way. Okay. So you have a new start here. That's what the magician is. Now, the outcome is an opportunity will arrive for both people to lay all their cards on the table and try to make some magic here together. Okay. You've got the queen of cups. So that's you really getting into your emotions. Okay. And really feeling the energy. It's, it's your, it's the vibes that's going to give you an opportunity to manifest a healthy start to a relationship, right? Queen of cups. If it's not you, it could be Pisces, Scorpio or cancer. Okay. Male or female, somebody who's waiting for you to put all those teardrops in that cup so that they can drink from it or look at it and just, or smell it and just be that close to you. I mean, it's very beautiful. Okay. The queen of cups, the cup energy is all about the emotions, right? This person wants to heal with you. They want to be able to support and nurture this relationship at Virgo, right? There's clarity, truth and victory coming. That's the outcome.  And usually, you know, the readings are, you know, generally about what the other person needs to do. But I feel like for someone here, this is about you.  See, you made a fool of yourself at some point and here you are like, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't even want to think about it. I don't want that person to know I don't want them to see I'm blocking that. Let's forget it. It never happens. But it did happen. And I think what you acknowledge and accept something from your past, either in this relationship or in the past, that's when you be able to overcome it.  I mean, yeah, this person's on the receiving end and is willing to receive you. But it feels like you have to be the one to like, I don't know, initiate something or make the move. Okay, whether that's, you know, a long distance thing or travel, or whether that's just initiating a new beginning with the chariot energy, this initiating a new journey with someone initiating action and change. Okay, let me see. I want to get a couple of Island time. Okay, mask, not showing true feelings. Virgo, this is you. This is not listen, Virgo, this is not cut you up Monday. It's not. I feel like this is kind of one of those. Well, let's, let's take, let's take a cold hard look at ourselves here, not showing true feelings, hiding, putting on a mask, pretending, deluding yourself, gaslighting yourself, you know, the biggest enemy is not another person, it's, it's ourselves, because we will run from ourselves.  The mask can't hide it. Excuse me, the mask can't hide it. You know, don't gaslight yourself here, Virgo. There's no need to hide your true feelings. If you're true feelings, whatever your true feelings are, like, don't suppress, get them out. And I know it's easy to say, I know that it's easy to say. And I understand if there's like grief or sadness or something like that, I get it, like who wants to bring all that back up and then have that flow out of you. And then everybody, we all want to have happy days, right?  Okay, you have not today, not dealing, hurt, see, this is what's going on with you. Okay, fine, Virgo, you don't have to do it today, do it tomorrow, do it next week, whatever the time calls, you might be angry at somebody, you might not want to talk to someone, you might be avoiding a conversation or avoiding somebody at this time because they were wearing a mask and they could have been wearing a mask because you were wearing, maybe you both were, but you'll be ready when you're ready. Okay, this, like I said, this reading is for all of January and it can go further, you know, just because you're hearing how's the Virgo say it, just because you're hearing this reading right now, I mean, maybe you and not maybe, but I did see you're going to take time to contemplate what you need to do. I feel like you'll click off this video, be like, nope, I'm not calling this person today, nope, not doing it today, might not do it tomorrow, might not do it next week, might not do it at all, but that's your prerogative, right? Okay. All right, the Golden Mirror, self-absorbed narcissist, one-sided relationship, love bombing. So for some of you, okay, now listen, I'm going to give some of you a little kudos because some of you know, listen, if you are connecting, if this person, or this self-absorbed person, if you suspect that this person is, it's like one-sided and they're self-absorbed and, you know, they're, I don't know if they're on the spectrum of narcissism, but whatever it is, I'm definitely not telling you to go ahead and initiate a relationship with that person, no effing way, but you need to get clarity on this first, okay? You cannot really get clarity on someone having a mental, like cluster B personality disorder, only a, I can never think of words, I see them, only a clinician, only a clinician or a doctor of psychology or, you know, a psychiatrist can do that, you know, it's not about the other person, it's about you, and so if you know, there is something in a relationship where, you know, whether, if you know that this person was diagnosed NPD, then okay, then you got your answer and you just need to keep it moving, but if you don't know for sure and you just see that this person is, maybe they're just self-absorbed or it's just one-sided, you still, you still don't need to be initiating, that person needs to initiate, you may need to get clarity during this month before you do anything, and that includes walking away and not staying and never going back, and it also includes, well, maybe this person's not a narc, there's a little bit of confusion and I feel like a lot of it has to do with a mask that somebody's worn or wears, and for some of you, remember I said in the very beginning, some of you are asking yourselves, am I the narcissist, is it me, is there something, so there might be a little bit of something here that you need to explore within self, okay, I'm certainly not telling you that you are, and I'm not saying your person is either, but maybe focusing on you and sorting things out with yourself right now before making any decisions, you don't have enough information, and I feel like that's why that not today card is standing here, you're hesitant, I saw that, you're hesitant to initiate or move something forward or go find out for yourself, maybe because you don't want to know that it's true, or maybe you don't want to find out that it's not true and you made a mistake and you screwed up, like with the fool, and now you've got to accept that and either try again or move on, yeah, heavy duty, this got really heavy duty, all right, I'm just going to keep pulling it, the grim reaper, the relationship is over, no second chance to just grow and transform your life, or go this is you today, there's no way, there's no way, I am not, Kelly, I am not initiating anything, I am not going anywhere, I don't care how much this person, I'm not doing it, this person is a narcissist, this person is a self-absorbed love bomber and yeah, some of you have been keeping your mask on because it's protection, okay, because it's been protection for you and then you have a love call and I do feel like someone's going to reach out here and express their love to you or just tell you they've been thinking of you and letting you know, you know, oh, Virgo, oops, you have so much going on in this reading and of course, you know, I'm going to have to get rid of these cards, I swear, because I mean, listen, all right, let me just ask, I just have to ask, if this person is a narcissist of whatever caliber they might be, just a self-absorbed and it's over and it's done and you walked away and now you're kind of like, well, where are they, where are they not, whatever, whatever they are, I want to see, because I saw with this person that they actually, you know what, you guys, I'm going to go into the extended reading with that, yeah, because I saw with this person, like, they really want to connect with you and no, I'm not going to go into the extended, I'll do it here, screw it, they really want to connect with you and I do feel like, you know, I didn't see anything on their side that was showing me that this person was self-absorbed, they might, you know, that the queen or the king of wands can sometimes have maybe a little bit of bullying going on with them, they might have like a high ego, I feel like that might be the extent of it, whoever your person is, but please, I'm not trying to contradict, if you already know that your person is NPD, cluster B, I'm not telling you that they're not, you stick with what you know to be true, okay, but I want to see what this person's energy is towards you, as far as like, if you don't come back, like, what's going on with this person right now, okay, so this reading's going to be tough, I'm telling you right now, this person feels like you cut them the F off and they feel like you are, they feel like they've been in an abusive relationship with you, okay, okay, well, all right, whatever, if anything, this person feels like things are just really uncertain, there's been a huge change, they feel like you've been a little bit inconsistent, but they definitely want to realign with you, but why, why does this, I mean, I do feel like this person, there you go, it showed up again, two of cups, it's like there's some kind of relationship that never got off the ground, Virgo, did you get in a relationship with someone who projects because you were on or in abusive relationships in your past?  Chinese signs for Virgo, okay, year of the dragon, year of the tiger, year of the snake, year of the rabbit, year of the monkey, tiger again, year of the rat, snake again, rabbit again, one of these rabbits, not monkey again, I feel like it could be the same thing, okay, rooster, dragon again, and year of the pig, okay, so that's either your Chinese sign or this person's or it's both of you or none of you, okay, messages of love, Virgo, this is like some kind of reading, I don't even know what to say, I really feel like you need to initiate and get, like you got to find something out here and I'm not talking to you there in the chat or there in the comments who is saying I don't need to initiate anything, I'm done, it's not for you, this is, remember, listen, I love you all but not every reading is for you, you got to remember that and you can't take it personally, okay, don't personify it, right, there, you know how many people watch in this video, so somebody here that you don't even know of who's watched this either before you or will watch it later is like oh damn me, that's about me, right, if it's not for you, take what fits, leave the rest, if none of it fits then just say hey, great entertainment for 45 minutes, you know what I mean, but you have to, like you can't get yourself in a position where it's like none of this matters, I am, because I'm not telling you what to do, okay, except I'm telling you what the messages are saying, okay, financial challenges are affecting this connection, a lot of the reason this relationship has struggled or has had problems was because of a financial issue, somebody was suppressing another person's money or income, that's the message I'm getting, okay, support, lean on your inner circle during this time Virgo, so that's how I was saying, you know, you need to, it looks like the message here is you need to seek some type of therapeutic help either from your inner circle or someone that can help you sort some stuff out, you also have leap of faith, it's safe to make the move you're considering, so whatever move that you have going on in your head right now, you can do it, it's okay, and acceptance, everything happens for a reason, I love that card, you love that card, there's a true love card again, wow, okay, forgiveness, wow, forgive yourself and another or another will help you move forward,

Our Lady of Good Homilies. I could use all the help I can get.  Who's had that experience? There we go. The men don't want to raise their hands because they don't drink wine, they drink beer. Okay. How many men have had the experience of drinking a glass? There we go, there we go, okay. Thank you. It's not a good feeling, is it? You're unsatisfied. You thought, your whole body thought you had one more sip in that thing and it's gone.  That's a great experience. That, my brothers and my sisters, is an example of how everything in this world passes. Everything is fleeting. Everything is vanity, as we are told in the first reading from Koheleff or from Ecclesiastes and I learned this cool thing that I want to teach you too. And the Bible scholars can correct me if I am wrong, but I did learn it from another Bible scholar so they can argue amongst themselves. So Ecclesiastes, a wonderful book, the speaker, it's like a monologue. Someone comes onto the scene, the narrator speaks and the main character comes on and speaks about the different things of this life and Koheleff apparently comes from the Hebrew, Kahal, which is the root word where we get the Greek Ecclesia, which is church or assembly. And so that's why the Greeks and the Latins translated it literally to Ecclesiastes. I bet you never know where the heck that title came from. I didn't either until I read the commentaries. So Ecclesiastes does have to do with Koheleff, it's the same thing. It's to the church or to the preacher of the congregation. And so Koheleff comes and speaks something wonderful to us. It's placed in the canon typically between proverbs and song of songs and some of the fathers saw it as the placement being significant as in the states of life or the states of perfection for the Christian. The illuminative proverbs, the prerogative way, Koheleff or Ecclesiastes, and the unitive way, the song of songs. And the prerogative way, this is the time in the state, in the life of the Christian and in his walk to perfection where he detaches from things of this world. Detachment is not very easy, but it is so necessary and the result is so sweet even though the journey is so strenuous. The detachment that we're called to my brothers and sisters first is from sin. It's from those pesky things that keep us away from God. Mortal sin, then venial sin. Detachment from even good and neutral things in this world. We need to be detached from mortal sins because, well, we'll die if we don't. We've talked about death a lot this weekend.   The worst evil is mortal sin and that is why the worst thing that could wish upon somebody is to help them into mortal sin. We're called that scandal in theology. So run and flee from such evil from such death. We're called to be detached from that. And St. Paul resonates that call in the second reading from Colossians where he tells us to not go back to the sins from which we were saved in the first place. But mortal sin is not the only evil. Venial sin to my brothers and sisters. Now, I would not say this perhaps to every crowd, but I think you can handle this, but a saint once said that if... that a venial sin, the evil of a venial sin, right, is even more grave than the destruction of the entire universe. Because you see, a natural destruction of the entire universe does not offend the holiness of the all good and all merciful God. But one venial sin offends him, he who loves us. I know, right? Venial, even as it is, venial or light sin, I don't want to scare you because there is a remedy for that. I will tell you in a moment. But venial sin is nothing good. There's nothing that you want to dance with in your life. You need to get rid of it. You need to be detached from it. In fact, it's one of the conditions to receive a plenary indulgence anyway. So you should probably do it. And even though it is light, but if you keep piling them on, even though they do not turn into mortal sin, but they become very weighty. You keep taking sand, right? One little bit of sand. If you keep piling that up into a bag, you yourself might not be able to lift it. And then it affects your spiritual life.  You no longer wish to pray. You no longer wish to love God. And you simply keep desiring to sin more and more. And perhaps eventually you might fall into a mortal sin. So detach yourselves from mortal sin. Detach yourselves from continual sins. But not only that, my brothers and sisters. Detach yourselves from everything of this world. Good or bad. Detach yourselves even from people. Detach yourselves from wealth. Detach yourselves from knowledge. As good as they are. To be detached from them is not to hate them necessarily, but it is to consider a rightful place in your life as a Christian. It is to consider that they are contingent beings, contingent things. They do not exist in and of themselves, but they depend on another. On the necessary being, which is God himself. The only thing necessary that Mary chose, though Martha was worried about many other things. The one thing that is necessary is Jesus. It is God. Now, why detach from these things? Because they can hold us back. Because sometimes we can use them as replacements of God. We can turn them into idols. And that's the sin of idolatry. We need to slaughter them. Those gods in our lives that can take the place of God. That is why one of the main reasons whether Israel, Israelites were called to slaughter animals. It is because those were the very gods that the Egyptians used to serve. And they too would serve when they meddled with the culture of the Egyptians. So instead of themselves transforming the Egyptians from inside, instead of the gospel, the good news of God, the one God penetrating into the culture of Egypt and transcending and transforming it, rather they themselves were transformed. They were not strengthened enough. But the gospel of Jesus will come and He will transform you and me. They had to slaughter these animals because they became their idols. So too there are certain things in our lives that we need to slaughter because they can be our idols. Specifically, they can be categorized into three. Money, sex, and power. Those three things are wonderful. Not that I would know with all of them. But they're good things I've heard.  Those are the golden cowards of our day. Money, sex, and power. Because they are the ones that we are told will make us happy. And I do not know one person who has ever been satisfied by having a lot of money, a lot of sex and a lot of power. But I do know a lot of people who have been satisfied, unsatisfied, hurt, damaged, and thrown into depression because of seeking money, sex, and power. I also know many, many people who are very happy, very joyful precisely for having given up for having been detached from money, sex, and power. Exhibit A. I am very happy my brothers and sisters. Yet I am poor. I don't have sex. But I don't have sex. And I don't have any power. I couldn't even come to this conference without asking for the permission of my bishop. I, who am an adult, chose to become a child in obedience to the church in obedience to another sinful human being like myself. And I could not be happier in my life to be a celibate poor, obedient human being. I remember, I was, I've told this to a couple of different people, maybe to youth conferences, but that I did go to a restaurant one day in Haiti and I ordered some pizza out of all things. And the server came by with a very seductive smile. And I was a bit worried. Now, I was by myself but I had my collar on. It's very good to have your collar on, to have your habit on. Much of it is for our own protection, you know. And as she comes over and says good afternoon, sir. I looked at her and Haiti, I could do that. I was like, sir. She goes, what? You know the sir? I was like, no. And I pointed to my collar and she goes, are you a priest? I said, yes. I am a priest. She goes, no. I'm not a Catholic priest. You know what she means, right? She had maybe a Episcopalian or something. She said, nope. I'm a proud Catholic priest. And she goes, you don't love women. You don't want to have children? How can you do it? There is no way that you can resist a young, good-looking priest like you. Well, maybe she didn't say that much. But, you know, I'm getting older. I forget things. I forget some details. And I said to her, yes, she said, you can't do this. And again, with this seduction. And I remember I was, thankfully I received the Holy Spirit at the moment whom I needed. And I said, well, you're right. I alone in my own power could not ever do this. I could not do this. But you see, I know someone by the name of Jesus of Nazareth who gave up everything. Who gave up his life for me. And I just figured there is nothing that was too valuable to sacrifice for him. And so my life also I sacrificed unto him. And it is only in him and by his power that I can do this. And, you know, she looked at me. She who had a seductive smile suddenly got serious and said, Father, I used to know Jesus like that, too. And she said, I want to know him like you do. She said, I'm living with this guy and since I've done that, I don't go to church and I I just don't do what I used to do. And I invited her. Well, today is the day that the Lord has made. Today is the day of salvation. Today you should come back to Jesus. You said, I want to but I should probably speak to him first. I said, I don't think you ask Jesus permission when you were divorcing him. I don't think you need this guy's permission when you want to get back with Jesus. Now, I'm not perfect at all. I'm far from it, my brothers and sisters. But I have tasted of the goodness of the Lord. I have tasted of His bountifulness, of His grace and it is good. It is very good. Now, this detachment, my brothers and sisters, we can have some aid from Holy Mother Church as He teaches us. During the length we often hear about prayer and fasting and oncegiving. But just so you know, that's not locked into let alone, you know. It's okay. It's not sinful to do those things outside of let. In fact, every day you should probably be practicing those things. Why? Because they are the remedies to those three idols. They are the things that help you slaughter the idols in our lives of sex, money and love.  You need God.  And so that is the antidote to the idol of power.  And when you give alms, you slaughter the God of money, the great God of money. You may have noticed that in the gospel the rich man was not punished because he was rich. He could be rich, but it's because he wanted to indulge in himself and for himself to hold it for himself. But Proverbs tells us that with Proverbs 31, we give it to the needy. And so the value of our wealth is not in how much we have, but it is in how much we give what we do with it, how we help the poor, the needy, and how we allow others to be blessed by the blessings that we ourselves have received.  Somebody needs to make the money. And some of you have that vocation, but when you do make sure you spread it to those who are in need. It's not easy to detach yourselves. But when you come to encounter Jesus, you will be able to say with St. Paul and allow me to quote from Philippians chapter 3. Paul says verse 7 to 11, but whatever gains I had, these I have come to consider a loss because of Christ. More than that, I even consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord. For his sake, I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them to so much rubbish that I may gain Christ and be found not having any righteousness of my own based on the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ. The righteousness from God depending on faith to know him in the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death. If somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. So yes, my brothers and sisters, everything is vanity when you come to know Jesus. Everything is vanity. Now Jesus, however, is the only thing that can give any worth to anything and to you. So you're suffering that is vanity, that is vain, but it can come to be worthy when it is united to the sufferings of Christ. And your wealth, which is vain, can come to be worthy when you're united to Christ, when you do the will of Christ with it. When you become a disciple of Jesus, you'll meet him. You have found everything. And that's what I told that young lady. I said, though I have nothing, but in Jesus, I've got everything. In him, I choose the loss of everything for him. And you see, that's why I would like to recognize in a special way the religious amongst us that have chosen to lose everything for the one portion so that God can be their portion. So dear brothers, dear sisters who have chosen that life, you have chosen the better part and God loves you for it. And what Jesus is calling us to my brothers and sisters in discipleship in losing everything is nothing short of marriage. And that's the unitive way. He's calling us to a natural relationship. Not just a personal relationship with Jesus where you walk with him as a friend. That's nice. Jesus wants to be more than a friend. And so as you have that DTF with them, you know, define the relationship, he wants to tell you, no, I don't want to just be friends, but I want to marry you. I want to be one with you. And that marriage is the Eucharist. We are indeed a people of the Eucharist. That marriage is when you become one body with God and you forget everything else. Become what you eat, though.  And when that blood runs through your veins you come to partake of divinity. That is more than just a nice walk with Jesus in the park. Than just a nice singing for him is that you need to be consumed by his love. Like charcoal, that is so different from the flames of fire. But when thrown into the flames it becomes indistinguishable. It is distinct from the fire of the flame. And that's precisely what happens when we dive into the grace of Jesus Christ internal life with him is that we almost are not recognized. We still hold on to our humanity as the charcoal remains charcoal but we are so consumed by his love by his grace that we become like him and we taste divinity. We partake of divinity as St. Peter tells us. My brothers and sisters I challenge you today to give up something. Think of what is that thing to you that is most invaluable in your life? What could it be perhaps? Some possession that you have that is most invaluable. Well that's not the one I'm going to ask you to give up. Forget that one. You can deal with that one later. But pick something valuable today. Something that's valuable, has some value. And today make the choice to give it away to someone else. Give it. You won't die, I promise. In fact you know that the first Christian community was so powerful precisely because of that. When they were touched by Jesus the rich gave up everything they had they sold their houses, sold their land and they give it to the disciples, to the apostles. Freely they did so. But that witness of love and no one was in need because of that, they were detached. And because of that the gospel was working miracles amongst people and thousands upon thousands were converted daily. Even though as Bishop Bern was saying they didn't have social media they didn't have TV radio they didn't have a building they didn't have parish councils they didn't have any of the stuff that we have today. And yet thousands were coming to the faith daily. Why could they do it and we cannot? Because they were converted in the gospel of Jesus Christ as his true disciples by giving up everything for the one thing that was important the one thing that is necessary. So stop by giving up one thing but you know let's not stop there. Give up everything.
