How have you seen this happen either in your life or in the life of someone close to you?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"text-the-truth-will-set-you-free\">Text: The Truth Will Set You Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"opening-prayer\">Opening Prayer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us pray. <em>Lord God, we give You honor and praise, glory, blessing, and thanksgiving on this day. You revealed to us in Your Son that He is the way, the truth, and the life. Truth, then, is not an idea that we form in our minds, but a dynamic relationship with the living God. Truth is a person. And Lord, we ask You during this season of Lent to give us, like You gave Elisha, a double portion of Your Holy Spirit, to move us ever closer to You, to move us more deeply into Your heart. So as we receive Your word into our lives, we can then go forward to be living witnesses of Your truth to the world. And we ask this in Your holy and precious name. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"that-s-not-my-truth\">&#8220;That&#8217;s Not My Truth&#8221;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>How many times have I spoken to parents whose adult children are away from the faith? They say things like \u201cI don\u2019t know what happened. They went to church with us every Sunday, they went to Catholic school, they went to youth group, and they got confirmed, and I don\u2019t know what happened. Now they\u2019re telling me \u2018Well mom, dad, that\u2019s your truth. That\u2019s not my truth. That may be true for you, but that\u2019s not true for me.\u2019\u201d This kind of thinking is so pervasive in our culture today. It\u2019s taken root in so many hearts within our young people, and our young adults, and people of all ages, where they\u2019re deciding what\u2019s true for themselves. Truth is whatever they decide it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"st-leo\">St. Leo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of thinking can cause great turmoil not only within families, but also within our culture and society. But this is nothing new. St. Leo the Great faced incredible challenges back in his day as well. During his papacy, barbarian armies actively persecuted Christian communities, while heretics from within the church spread errors and rumors about the person and nature of Jesus. But with steadfast conviction and brilliance, Pope Leo the Great boldly proclaimed the richness, beauty, and truth of Christian belief. When a large army of barbarians came to attack Rome, St. Leo courageously rode out to meet the pagan leader, Attila the Hun, face-to-face, armed only with his great trust in God. Attila admired the pope\u2019s fearlessness, and Leo\u2019s humility and charity earned him great respect among the barbarians. Rome was saved because the pope was willing to give his life to protect and defend the faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">With the fervor of St. Leo the Great, we must protect and defend the dignity of our life, from the moment of conception until natural death. We must work hard to build strong families against an ever-advancing culture of death. We live in a world of eclipse, in a world consumed by a darkness, whose far-reaching shadows of pornography, and human trafficking, and the so-called redefinition of marriage are cast across the threshold of family life. Our only hope for salvation is in <a href=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/trusting-in-gods-will-lent-2020\/\">trusting<\/a> in God\u2019s merciful, infinite love. Through the beauty and truth of our faith, we bear rightness in a convincing manner to the victory of God\u2019s love over the power of evil in ourselves and in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"learning-from-moses\">Learning From Moses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We must live our faith with a sense of urgency. St. Paul warns us that we dare not wrap ourselves in the cloak of complacency and comfort, with a false sense of security, convinced that we have nothing to worry about. We must be humble enough to come before God and to admit that we are in constant need of His mercy and forgiveness despite ourselves, lest we, like many of the Israelites wandering through the desert for 40 years, never reach the destination God has promised for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moses, you remember at the burning bush, is afraid to look upon God, the I am who am. He is less than thrilled with the task that God has given him. But he obeys in faith, because he knows that the worst way to go astray is when a person destined by God for a certain path is unfaithful to that call. Therein lies the warning for us. We all like to think of ourselves as people of the resurrection, but there is no resurrection without crucifixion. There is no Easter Sunday without Good Friday. God calls us within the circumstances of our own lives to pick up our cross and to follow His Son to glory. We may fall along the way of life, the cross may get heavy, and we may be tempted to take the easy way out and to put it down. But for those who persevere in God\u2019s love, He will lead them out of the land of sin and despair to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey and the reward of eternal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus\u2019 warning in the gospel is clear. We must not become cynical. In response to the news that Pilate has had several people executed, and that many were killed by a falling tower, Jesus says that we are in equal danger as long as we continue to separate ourselves from His invitation to loving and life-giving communion when we commit serious sin. He then tells the parable of the fig tree that bears no fruit, and has stretched the owner\u2019s patience to the limit. The tree receives one more chance at the request of the gardener, that perhaps it will bear fruit. If not, it shall be cut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-must-not-become-cynical\">We Must Not Become Cynical<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus\u2019 warning in the gospel is clear. We must not become cynical. In response to the news that Pilate has had several people executed, and that many were killed by a falling tower, Jesus says that we are in equal danger as long as we continue to separate ourselves from His invitation to loving and life-giving communion when we commit serious sin.

The tree receives one more chance at the request of the gardener, that perhaps it will bear fruit. If not, it shall be cut down. To reject or even neglect Christ\u2019s call for repentance is to gamble with disaster. We must affirm that personal conversion, that metanoia, that turning our mind around in humility. Those are essential if we are to drink deeply from the wellspring of God\u2019s infinite love, and this is why we have to live the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"learning-the-piano\">Learning the Piano<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s put it this way. Why is it important to live the truth, and how does that truth lead us to freedom? Imagine you have two friends that are in a car driving somewhere. And as they\u2019re conversing, listening to the radio, this beautiful piano sonata begins to play, by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin. Both men are so moved by the beauty of the music that they\u2019re hearing that they decide right then and there that they\u2019re going to learn how to play piano. In fact, they\u2019re going to come back a year from now on this very day and to play piano together, to celebrate their triumph in learning how to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So they both go home, they both go their separate ways. One friend says to himself \u201cYou know what, I\u2019m pretty smart. I don\u2019t need anyone to tell me what to do. I don\u2019t need to align myself with the truths of piano playing. I can teach myself. I\u2019m pretty smart.\u201d So he goes to the piano store and he buys a \u201cHow to play piano\u201d book. He puts it in front of him, he says \u201cI have got the piano. Okay, I got this,\u201d and he starts to try to figure it out. Then he gets distracted by life. He gets a phone call. \u201cHey, I got tickets to the basketball game tonight. You want to go?\u201d \u201cYeah, let\u2019s do this.\u201d And he goes to the game and, you know, he goes to the game and he enjoys himself. A couple of days later he comes back, \u201cOh yeah, yeah, yeah. Piano, piano, piano.\u201d And he sits down and starts to learn piano again. Then he gets distracted by something else, then he gets busy at his job, and all of these different things around him happen and he haphazardly teaches himself how to play piano for a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, his friend says \u201cYou know what? I\u2019m pretty smart, but I don\u2019t know anything about piano. I\u2019m going to hire a teacher.\u201d And so he goes and hires a piano teacher. The teacher teaches him how to sit at the piano, how to hold his hands at the piano, how to read music, what the black keys do, what the white keys do, that there\u2019s middle C, and to the next C is an octave, when you flat the third it\u2019s a minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then he has to learn scales. First he learns major scales, then minor scales, and then he has to practice harmonic minor scales. And then he, as he gets more complicated, Dorian, and Phrygian, and Locrian, and Mixolydian, and the different modes of playing. And he has to practice for 30 minutes a day. Sometimes you don\u2019t feel like practicing, but he said \u201cYou know what? There\u2019s 168 hours in a week, and all I have to do is the teacher says to practice 30 minutes a day.\u201d And so he makes that commitment and he does that for a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the anniversary, when they both come back to play that piano sonata that they heard on the radio, the first friend, that one that decided to teach himself, he\u2019s playing. He\u2019s playing, but he\u2019s ultimately frustrated because the music that he hears in his head, he cannot get across on the instrument, and he\u2019s ultimately frustrated. The second friend, the one who hired the teacher, the one who aligned himself with the truths of piano playing is not only playing the notes, but he\u2019s adding maybe a forte here, or pulling back, playing a little softer, pianissimo there. He\u2019s injecting his own personality into the music, because now he\u2019s able to express himself through the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-one-was-freer\">Which One Was freer? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So I ask you, which one was freer? Clearly the second one. The first guy thought he was free because he could do things however he wanted. But he ultimately ended up frustrated. But the second friend, he aligned himself with the transcendent principles of piano playing, just like our faith. We are the ones who are learning the faith, and we have the piano teacher, which is our Catholic Church. The rules, the commandments, the catechisms, the moral codes, all of those things teach us, and we have to practice our faith. More than 30 minutes a day of course, but the point is that we are building virtue. The more we practice our faith, we\u2019re building virtue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what does that lead to? We\u2019re able to express ourselves beautifully through the instrument of our bodies that express what\u2019s in our souls, what\u2019s in our spirits. That is true freedom, because now we\u2019re free to be the person that God created and calls us to be, precisely because we have followed the ways of God and not the ways of the world. This is the truth that sets us free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">And so, my <a href=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/the-lives-of-the-saints-our-beloved-brothers-and-sisters-in-christ\/\">brothers and sisters in Christ<\/a>, during this Lenten season, let us open our minds, our heart, and our wills to God\u2019s grace. That we may bring forth a harvest of life-giving communion, and be living, faithful witnesses to the power of Christ\u2019s love to the world. Let us be watered gardens of the <a href=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/how-to-be-led-by-the-holy-spirit-lent-2020\/\">Holy Spirit<\/a>. Let us be like the palm tree and the cedar of the scriptures. That, planted in the house of the Lord, we will flourish in the courts of our God, still bearing fruit when we are old, still full of sap, still green. To proclaim that the Lord is just. In Him, our rock, our salvation, there is no wrong. Let us pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"closing-prayer\">Closing Prayer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>God, our Father, we bless and glorify and praise You. We thank You for this time together. Lord, as we continue this journey through Lent, let our hearts be open; let our minds be clear; let our bodies, through fasting, be prepared and empty, so that we can be filled with Your love and Your truth and Your salvation. And we ask all this in Jesus\u2019 holy and precious name. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"about-deacon-harold-burke-sivers\">About Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\" style=\"grid-template-columns:31% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Deacon-Harold-Headshot-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2642 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/the-prodigal-son-be-reconciled-to-god-lent-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 known around the world as the \u201cDynamic Deacon\u201d \u2013 is one of the most sought-after speakers in the Church today.
