Since the Old Testament, God has urged us to listen to His teachings and faithfully follow His precepts. “Hear, O Israel” is what the Lord asks of His people and of each one of us. Many, however, prefer to listen to their crazy ideas, placing neo-pagan philosophies and ideologies above the perennial teaching of the Church. However, in order to love God, we must first know who He is, and the surest source for this is Christian Revelation itself, which is expressed through Tradition, Sacred Scripture, and the Magisterium. Aware of this, let us allow the fatherly words of Father Paulo Ricardo in this sermon to echo in our hearts: “The Catechism has spoken, the water has stopped. Stop with your crazy opinions.” This homily was given on March 17, 2023, during the morning Mass at the Cristo Rei Parish in Várzea Grande (MT).
