I never receive any feed-back on my homilies (even my wife) and have heard only "crickets" for the last 18 years... so when you post a comment, my sinful and prideful heart "lights up" (seriously, thanks for the comments)Jay Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482261288019583877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505931362633857542.post-52717814250571347252013-07-02T05:43:13.009-07:002013-07-02T05:43:13.009-07:00Brilliant stuff! Absolutely brilliant stuff! The...Brilliant stuff! Absolutely brilliant stuff! The Lord is with you!<br /><br />I love this teaching, particularly (although the insights in this sermon are many, like a "great draught" of (alpha)omega-three oil: <i>"You have been hauled out of the deep, <b>De Profundis</b>, by the net of Jesus’ Words, which are in reality the very pierced, Blood-red, hands of the God/Man Himself. Jesus voluntarily and willingly let Himself be 'made a worm' by your sins that He might lure, hook, and gut the great devil-fish ..."</i><br /><br />The Lord's proof of His resurrected flesh was through means of the consumption of a fish. How divine the sense of whimsical irony and humor, by the Son! The crucified, dead and buried "worm" ... but wait! ... chows down on the "devil-fish," the old Leviathan. The reeling Apostles, bless them, appear to be joyously dumbfounded (Lk 24:41-43); while the demon of hell surely shrieks his head off ... his kingdom razed, bereft of his prisoners, now transformed from a fearsome sea-monster into a shredded jackass, by our Brother's cutting canines and incisors.<br /><br />Your (minnowy) servant,<br />Herr Doktor<br /><br /> Michael L.
