| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Edwards Three, and welcome to all things Catholic where real faith meets real life. Is there a part of you that you just don't want other people to see? Maybe it's an |
| 0:18.7 | embarrassing part of your life. Maybe it's something you do, something you say, a bad |
| 0:22.2 | habit, the way you live. |
| 0:24.0 | It's a part that you'd just be so worried if other people saw that and they noticed that that |
| 0:28.4 | they might think left of you, they might distance themselves from you, they might even |
| 0:34.0 | even reject you. And so you really just prefer to keep this part of your life hidden, |
| 0:39.0 | hidden from others, even hidden from yourself. You don't even want to think about this part. You feel |
| 0:46.4 | so ashamed about this part and maybe you're afraid to even present this part of your life |
| 0:52.0 | to God. This past Sunday, the gospel |
| 0:56.4 | reading we had at Mass is so powerful and it helps us to encounter God at a |
| 1:01.3 | deeper level, but maybe there's a better way of saying that. |
| 1:04.5 | That actually, the reading we're going to look at today allows God to encounter me at a deeper level. |
| 1:14.5 | To allow God to encounter the real me, |

| 1:21.5 | not just the good parts, not just my good Catholic parts and these are the things I do and say and believe and, and then it's all good and I try to be a nice person, I try to help people and I say my prayers and that's all good. But there's other parts of me that if other people saw that I, what would they think of me? |
| 1:38.8 | There's parts of me I just don't like. I feel like a failure in this theory of my life |
| 1:44.4 | I feel like I'm always struggling here and I or I just don't know what to do I'm confused I don't know how to |
| 1:50.7 | be a good dad or I don't know how to really be a good Christian and pray well. |
| 1:56.0 | And I don't like these parts of me. I've got these sins, these weaknesses that weigh me down. |
| 2:02.2 | I've got real serious stuff going on in my life. |
| 2:06.8 | The gospel reading that we just had this last Sunday helps us to approach God as we are and allow God then to come and touch the depths of our |
| 2:18.8 | being so that we can experience love in those places that maybe we hate. |
