Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Luke 15:3-7

Friends, one feature of today’s Gospel passage is the craziness of the shepherd:
“What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert
and go after the lost one until he finds it?”
Well, the implied answer is “No one.”
Who would take that great a risk, putting the ninety-nine in danger to find the one?
It’s just bad economics.
Why would God fret over one little soul?
Why would he bother?

Well, it’s his nature. It’s what he does.
As Catherine of Siena put it, he is pazzo d’amore (crazy in love).
God is as crazy for you as if you were the only one in the world.

[MurphsLaw]

+++Jesus addressed this parable to the Pharisees and scribes:
"What man among you having a hundred
sheep and losing one of them
would not leave the ninety-nine in
the desert
and go after the lost one until he
finds it?
And when he does find it,
he sets it on his shoulders with
great joy
and, upon his arrival home,
he calls together his friends and
neighbors and says to them,
'Rejoice with me because I have
found my lost sheep.'
I tell you, in just the same way
there will be more joy in heaven
over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous people
who have no need of repentance."+++

It’s a shame Boobie didn’t go after the lost sheep, Ben Shapiro.

Rather than being “crazy in love”, Barron is “crazy for popularity”.

Why are you assuming Bishop Barron is Jesus?
He would tell you he is a sinner, like everyone else...

Nonetheless, that is some pretty high praise you extend to the Bishop...

I assumed no such thing.

I was just calling out Boobie as being a hypocrite. He doesn’t practice what he preaches.

And you do, practice what you preach?

Think plank...

[ebb tide]

I’m not a preacher, like Barron supposedly is.

[ebb tide]

And you do, practice what you preach?

Of course I do.

Otherwise I'd be a liar like Barron and Bergoglio.
