| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Edward Sree and welcome to all things Catholic where real faith meets real life. |
| 0:13.1 | Sometimes when we're traveling, one of my little kids will have a souvenir or some precious |
| 0:17.8 | toy of theirs that they don't want to lose, they don't want it to get broken so they |
| 0:21.4 | hold on to it really tightly, they want to carry it with them on the plane or in the car |
| 0:25.0 | wherever going and I'm worried for them because they're holding on to it so tightly or they |
| 0:29.1 | lose it. I just tell them here, give it to me. I'll take care of it. I'll make sure that |
| 0:34.0 | you get it when we get to the final destination. Just put it in my hands. It'll be fine and they're |
| 0:38.4 | like, no, I need to hold on to it. Don't trust me. Trust me. It's okay. You can put it in my hands |
| 0:45.0 | and eventually they finally let go and they put it in my hands. But it reminds me of what Jesus does |
| 0:51.1 | on Good Friday right before he dies. His last words were all about putting something in his |
| 0:58.3 | Father's hands. He said, Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit. Jesus gave everything. He |
| 1:06.8 | didn't hold anything back. He didn't cling on. He gave everything and trusting everything |
| 1:13.5 | into the Father's hands. As we're in this week of all weeks, this holy week, my question for you |
| 1:20.0 | is this, what might the Father be inviting you to put into his hands? What is it that you're |
| 1:27.0 | clinging onto? What is it that is burdening you? That the Father just wants you to put that |
| 1:33.4 | in his hands as a certain area of your life, a certain situation, maybe a certain worry, |
| 1:39.2 | a certain fear, a certain sin that's weighing you down and the Father just wants you to put it |
| 1:45.5 | in his hands. As we enter this great week of holy week, let's not just be faithful to our |
| 1:53.8 | lint in sacrifices. Of course, let's do that. Let's be faithful to those extra prayers and |
| 1:58.5 | devotions, those things we gave up all the way to the finish line. But let's also give Jesus a |
| 2:04.9 | great gift. Let's give the Father a great gift. And that's the gift of entrusting something special |
| 2:12.2 | from our heart, something that may be like a little child we've been clinging onto too much. |
