Summary

Jesus' claim that he is the one true God and the world's savior was the stumbling block for many Jews. Fr. Mike explains why Jesus' invitation to the Jewish people to have faith in him was a challenging task. We learn that hardness of heart and unbelief led the Pharisees to a tragic misunderstanding of Jesus. We are also at risk of such error, and recognizing our hardness of heart can help us to grow in faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 587-594.

0:21.4	our Dettitini God's family. As we journey together toward our Heavenly home, this is day 84,
0:25.9	we're reading paragraphs 587 to 594, as always, I'm using the Ascension edition of the Catechism,

0:48.2	I think it's day 84. We're reading about, oh man, this is incredible. Yesterday, Jesus in the temple,
0:53.8	the day before, Jesus in the law. He fulfills both of them. Today, the big title, right, is Jesus
1:01.2	and Israel's faith in the One God in Savior. This recognition here are the people of Israel. They
1:07.5	have been formed over centuries. They've come to know the One True God. They've come to be able
1:14.1	to hear his voice, right, spoken through the prophets, spoken through the words and books of
1:18.9	sacred scripture, the Old Testament. And Jesus then comes on the scene, any invites faith in himself
1:26.5	in the same way and to the same degree that the Lord God had invited faith and belief in himself
1:34.7	in the Old Covenant. And so there is this scandalization that happens, right? There's a scandal that
1:40.3	happens. In fact, it says paragraph 587, if the law and the Jerusalem temple could be occasion of
