We hear in today's Gospel something that can be for us all a very instructive lesson. Namely, pay attention to the way Mary Magdalene behaved when she saw the stone rolled away from the tomb and the way Saint Peter and Saint John behaved. When they heard the news about the empty tomb, namely both Mary Magdalene and the apostles ran, they did not walk, they did not stroll, but they ran. My beloved, a great problem and misfortune of Catholics in the modern era is our indifference.
Simply put, towards God's matters we have become indiffer... indifferent. They have become indifferent to us and we have become indifferent to them. A great danger, a great trap of Satan. Ancient Romans used to say Quotidiana vilescunt, that which is daily becomes commonplace. And so the Catholic faith has become commonplace to us, the Holy Mass has become commonplace, the sacraments, our Lord Jesus Christ himself has become commonplace to us. And that which is commonplace ceases to be respected by man. That which is commonplace becomes indifferent to us. It is, because it is; there isn't, then there isn't.
And we see, my dear ones, in the last centuries how this indifference has been killing from the inside. [It] was killing the Holy Church, the entire Christian Latin civilization. It is indifference that led to the fact that today they rule over us. When we think about the sorrowful passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, then in an obvious way we think also about those who bear responsibility, historical responsibility for this great crime. But on the other hand we must realize that they would not have such great power today. If not for our Catholic indifference,
their hatred for the Lord God and for humanity, demonic hatred for what is of God, for God's Church, is only one part of the problem. [snort] The second, perhaps even greater, more serious part is our Catholic indifference. We were indifferent when the Catholic religion was being destroyed, swapped out. We were indifferent when the Catholic Holy Mass was being destroyed, swapped out. We were indifferent when morality was being destroyed. We were indifferent when history was being falsified. We were indifferent when we were being made into slaves
forced to submit to medical experiments. We were indifferent when they were demoralizing our children. Dear faithful, this Saturday and should be for us all a call to end lukewarmness and indifference in our lives, so that following the example of Mary Magdalene, following the example of Saint Peter, Saint John, we might begin a spiritual run. Not a walk, not a stroll, but a spiritual run towards Christ. Dear faithful, the second issue worth paying attention to is these dramatic words of Saint Mary Magdalene, addressed to the
apostles. Words that we could repeat today. they have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him. And we, my dear ones, have been experiencing after all for several dozen years the same feelings which [clearing of throat] filled the heart of Mary Magdalene. They have taken the Lord Jesus from us from formerly Catholic churches. This fills our heart with sadness, fear, perhaps terror and despair. We wonder where they have laid him, where today we can find the Savior. And following the example of the holy apostles we need to run, we need to look into the empty
tomb. We need, my dear ones, to consider all that Christ entrusted to his apostles. We need to use our reason in order to believe. Faith is not a matter of emotions. Faith is an act of reason. And the apostles run to the tomb moved under the influence of emotions. Something happened, there is no body. They go to this tomb and what happens then? They look inside. Emotions subside, they begin to think and what do they see in this empty tomb? they saw the linen cloths lying [there] and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up separately in one place.
And what became clear to them then? that Christ truly rose from the dead, that he not only rolled away this great heavy stone with which the entrance to the grave cavern was covered, but he went out, passed through, penetrated in a miraculous way the burial cloths. They were not torn apart, they were not lying in some disorder. These burial cloths, which after all stuck to the blood-soaked body of Jesus, body of Jesus Christ, were lying orderly, folded. The body that was wrapped in them simply
passed through them. Christ truly rose from the grave. He is not here. The body was not stolen. Simply put, Jesus Christ went out of the grave. And this is what the apostles understood, what they grasped when they entered the empty tomb. And that is why Saint John draws attention to these folded cloths and the napkin that was on his head folded separately, because this was testimony, tangible, testimony to the fact that Jesus Christ truly rose from the dead. These burial cloths of Jesus Christ are after all stored, preserved
to the present day. Like a puzzle that can be put together, individual elements that fit together like pains. Not [snort] only the Shroud of Turin, known to us all, but the Sudarium of Oviedo, the cap from Cahors, the Shroud of Arquata, the Veil of Manoppello. All these burial cloths stored in various places [if one] compares them, superimposes their images on each other, they fit to the millimeter, which indicates that exactly the same person, the same body was wrapped in those wounds in the same places,
scientists make some three-dimensional visualizations. Everything fits together. But these same scientists also say that after all the Turin [Shroud] is a fake painted somewhere in the 10th century. Only none of them can say in what way it was painted. Allegedly. He who has faith, he whose mind is enlightened by the grace of faith, sees and understands. They saw and believed. They saw the burial cloths folded cloths constituting tangible proof of the resurrection. on which were imprinted both traces of blood, traces of wounds, as well as, as on the napkin from
Manoppello, the face of the Risen One. And we, my dear ones, after all see, we see testimonies confirming the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, but we are so contaminated, so infected with liberalism, modernism, that we do not believe. We are so saturated with this post-conciliar pseudo-religion that we look for faith based on emotions. You are supposed to have butterflies in your tummy, fall asleep somewhere there, collapse in some spirit, who knows what kind. This is not, my dear ones, the Catholic religion. Saint Peter, Saint John run to the tomb, they do not clap there, they do not play on on
guitars, they do not dance, they do not have any collapses, they simply entered, saw, and believed. God gave you reason for this purpose, that using it you might find Him, discover Him, find the way to Him led by the light of faith. And such and this is, my dear ones, faith. And for such faith we need to ask. So when we hear these dramatic word, words of Saint Mary Magdalene, they have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him, then simultaneously we realize that we can, even in these times, [in] which it seems to us that the
church of the Lord Jesus no longer exists, find Him. Just as the apostles found him 2000 years ago, so too can we find him today, but not guiding ourselves by emotions, not guiding ourselves by attachment to this or that some internet preacher, to some visionary man, visionary woman, to some prayer groups for whom some demonic miracles are happening. we can find Jesus Christ not relying on emotions, but using reason enlightened by the light of faith, which will show us where today
the Catholic Church is, which will show us where today Jesus Christ is, his true body, where today Holy Mass is validly, worthily celebrated. This is, my dear ones, possible for every human being. One just needs to want to use reason and want to let oneself be led by divine grace. They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him. They have taken the Lord Jesus from us from Catholic churches. We do not know where they have laid him. Or perhaps rather we did not know, but we have found him. But we have found him and we desire to break with, reject that which was
our great fault, the fault of us and of previous generations. Indifference. Let us no longer be indifferent, but let us run towards Christ [clearing of throat] and after Christ trusting that we too shall see the glories of the resurrection, that we too shall become victors over death, hell, and Satan. Amen. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
