The Depth Of Catholic Faith Is Jesus' Personal Faith

The depth of Catholic faith is the personal faith of Jesus himself, so the Catholic Faith is not a teaching of faith, not a rule of faith, but Faith in the person of Jesus.

Jesus' Personal Faith

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit amen.

"On the other side of the Sea of ​​ Galilee when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there and neither of his disciples, they got into a boat and went to the cavernaum to look for Jesus. When people found Jesus on the other side of the sea they said to him
"Rabbi When did you arrive here?" Jesus answered them, Indeed I said to you "You are looking for Me not because you have seen the signs but because you have eaten the bread and you are full".
Work not for food that can perish, but for food that endures to eternal life, which will be given to you by the Son of man. For it is He who has been sealed by God the Father. Then they said to him, "What should we do so that we will do the work God wants us to do?" Jesus answered them, "this is the work that God wants you to do, that is, you believe in the one God has sent," they said to him , "What sign do you do so that we can see it and believe in you, what work you do. Where our ancestors ate in the desert as it is written. They gave him bread to eat from heaven and said Jesus to them "Verily I say to you, not Moses gave you bread from heaven, but also the Father who gave you the right bread from heaven, because the bread from God is bread that comes down from heaven and who gives life to the world.
So they said to him "God give us the bread" always said to them Jesus "I am the bread of life, Whoever comes to me he will never be hungry again and anyone who believes in me he will never thirst again".

"We are happy to listen to the Word of God and diligently carry it out".

Jesus' Personal Faith

Dear brothers and sisters in God, 

Last Sunday we also heard the story of the miracles of 5 loaves of 2 fish that could fill 5000 new men and the remaining 12 baskets full.

The miracle of God was given to 5000 people through the multiplication of bread.

Ladies and gentlemen, the flesh is often trapped, entangled in what is flesh. Thousands of people flocked after they received the miracle 5 bread 2 fish. Jesus left them and people then looked for Jesus again. I was so happy and kept chasing Jesus where, but the Lord Jesus knew exactly what was in the mind of those people. Is he like a mouse coming and going to go to food but passing the glue glue on the paper.

Yes, so he walked and stuck to the glue and could no longer move to the rice, so the people who came to Jesus were trapped in his worldly glue.
But what fascinated him was not the miracle of Jesus, but the bread itself we also prayed to ask for sustenance, please go home, beg for the vehicle, beg for work and it turned out that in the course of time we stopped in those things, and did not reach God himself.

Jesus' Personal Faith

We are caught trapped in bread, we believers are invited to arrive at a sign that is, not if you see traffic signs. If it's called a green light, that means we walk. Actually, what does it mean behind? signifies safety. But we are often stopped at the green light. Especially if the green light has no police, because there is no police left, look left and right. Even though the lights are still red, it just breaks and because we don't think it reaches safety. And we only stop at that symbol, not on the signified.

Brothers and sisters, 

The depth of our faith in the Lord Jesus is, when we do not stop at the bread, but continue to walk to the signified. That is what is in Jesus' heart itself. So the Catholic Faith is not a doctrinal faith, not faith rules, but Faith will be personal
Jesus. Personalize it so that it makes the sign of the depth of our faith not because we memorize how many verses, not because we obey the rules of religion, but first is our deep relationship with the heart of Jesus.

Brothers and sisters, 

Today the whole church commemorates the patron saint of the parish priest.
So Father, who is in the Parish, has his patron saint, Saint John Mary Vianney, who is celebrated today. St. John Mary Vianney is a sign for the miracle of goodness and divinity of God's forgiveness. Saint John Maria Vianney was only able to read that at the age of 18 years the school was always worth the remedial lessons and it was difficult to receive lessons. 

So slow his parents were not sure of his son when his son said I wanted to enter the seminary to become a priest. His parents really forbid, forbid not because they were not willing but worried because they were so slow. Likewise in the end he was hobbling. He diligently joined the seminary and then arrived at the high seminary and he finally because of his perseverance and devotion to St. Francis, so that the test after study and study doesn't understand. Because the lesson is in French and Latin-language textbooks and he can't.

Jesus' Personal Faith

How difficult it is to learn Latin, even though all books are read but do not understand. And he then went to a place of devotion to Saint Francis. What was then continued then finally passed even though he had to repeat how many times he still lived diligently. Finally the Bishop ordained by way of not working in the city for fear that his brain would not be able to respond to the problems of city people. 

So he was assigned to a remote village about 4 hours from Paris in a small village containing many drunk people. But it turns out that John Maria Vianney pursued there, and she was feared that she could not advise people when confessing their sins. But it turned out that within 2 years he had become a Parish Priest in a small village, which had not been known to people now 2 years later to become famous throughout France.

Jesus' Personal Faith

Because there were thousands of people coming in droves to ask for confession to Father Maria Vianney. All those who confess to him experience inner healing, experience the rest of the Faith, feel becoming more acquainted with the Lord Jesus. And finally John Maria Stanley became famous. But he actually continued to fear fame. he is afraid of being famous, if we are now right? Popular that immediately uploaded every selfie event was like that, now John Maria Vianney was afraid of popularity.

So he wanted to step down because he became famous once. And he every day between 6 and 8 hours in the confession room, and he did it faithfully and so many miracles happened to many people. Thousands of people experienced miracles from those who were underestimated.

Brothers and sisters, 

John Maria Vianney is not because he is a Father who is proud of himself. But he was an admirer of the Priesthood. He himself wrote, he himself was surprised "why did I become a priest, huh?" And every day he was amazed that God was great. God is amazing, why do I become a priest who is amazed every day. And that admiration becomes the spirit of him to serve.
The brothers and sisters John Mary Stanley said in her writings "Priesthood is a miracle that radiates from the Sacred Heart of Jesus" that we all, we priests with our flesh, often we are like the most complete mice in paper glue. It doesn't come to the mystery of the Priesthood itself, but that we know that the mystery of the Priesthood is truly the work of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. May we be strengthened in faith and always keep cleverly penetrating the sign until that which is signified is the heart of Jesus himself. glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit amen
