My dear brother, can sit in the same place. In all, we are gathered here. In this evening, in order to move with our Lord, we invite to celebrate the unity it has given to us. We celebrate the institution, the instrument to which our Lord preserves this unity in this church, and that is the priesthood. Now this is the first time that we are able to celebrate as priests. This priest, this holy birthday, really and truly as one. Come, said God, as those who come, said, who therefore may become completely born in the very signature and core of the holy man, when he points to the grape and to the cup of wine and all with one word that this is my, this is my mother.

Still we feel that they are sitting here as a splendid array of atoms Doors and men have shattered and may be they are frightened and you may scream in your mind that last things are worse than guilty. But here we are blessed. A little clock fears the angel on our own feet to save the door is empty. as parents, a little like orphans. So I wanted to take this opportunity in order to interpret here in this circle of frame, what is in our hearts as grief.

At this moment, we don't come to our archaeological studies, what did we learn in our little dream years ago, and after all, we all were chastened by any of these questions. And they are originally their real meaning, as they look. But they are simply, or used to be, in their essential form, the dress of the common man, who would wear another flowery, the art, And the poor people had to have a cincher because they had to get it to their own lives. There were too many of them reviling. And they had to work to walk through the dirt on the street on their own feet. They were not being carried by anybody else. And therefore, they needed a single room.
[03:26]
And they had to be gone with their own foot. The other had to be treated in such a way that it was not just simply walking through the turf all the time. And then there was a chapel, and the chapel is simply, and, uh, every purpose is gone. Especially for everybody in the street, and especially for the poor people to protect them against the rain, and again it's the cold to keep them dry, to keep them warm. Now they have changed the level in their own appearance. The materials and the quality have taken on in the parts of history and in waters that they originally did not have. That reminds us of them that we decided
[04:27]
about Christian history and our Christian sacraments. In our Christian life, really not before the resurrection, but after the resurrection. But then there is what shines forth in these restaurants, is the glory of the risen Savior, of the one who has the gospel that we just read says so beautifully, knew that the Father had given all the things into his hand, and let it take forth from God, and let it become to God. All the names and thoughts of majesty. Majesty is reality, as his divine nature is the reality. on which our celebration as position is great.

And standing, knowing all this, then he rose from the table, and he compiled his upper garments of signs of blue. And speaking, took the tongue, and put it around his waist, and he bailed down the mystery of the encounter. the Son who led to starless glory in order to become completely one. And then we serve them as priests and in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ we constantly remember. We know that we rejoice and we have been saved just as the Son of our Lord has been saved. We have been saved to allow us but not our own doctrine and our own teaching, but the teaching of the one who saved us.
[06:34]
And who exists the storm of Jesus Christ, the storm of God made man who saved us? For what purpose did he send us? In order to judge him, but in order to announce the grand tidings of salvation. A not-believement, a state-believement, a world of hope, a world of new life. Let it be the poor in sin. Let it be the peacemakers. That is what we announce as we, with great joy, knowing that we are a genius in that world. In the power of Christ, as ambassadors of God, we are a third of your children. Not knowing that, Every teacher meets a doctor. And that is the fact that he addresses himself to the mind, and that he speaks out of the mind.
[07:41]
And there was somebody who speaks out of the mind, addresses himself to the mind. So easily, evidence, power, all kinds of things may be done, which we see so clearly. In the attitude of the representatives of the Old Testament, the disciples of Moses, which the wrong way teacher of Israel, in who brought to his people those sentences come in stone that they should learn. And unfortunately, we see in the attitude of the Pharisees that in the end they did not understand the one who came. and who healed the blood that made it inside on the staff of them. What said? We have no idea. He gives this idea. So that's the danger certainly of the data and of the law and of the teaching.
[08:43]
And therefore we rejoice in the fact that we have not only teach, but that we also are the ears of them. Great others still, and amazing Saviour, really, into the place of reason possible, saying to their people, God, and others whom you, the middle of their saints, their arm, and that spirit of peace, that spirit of reconciliation, and that is for us, another to them in our soul. We do, we do. could we as human beings say, I, my soul, can begin to do it in the name of my God, Jesus Christ. And therefore our guidance, which in some way bring us a little foreign to our steps, remind us of God that we have been taken into a spirit which is not ours, into a glory which is not

The spirit of the Westman, the glory of the Westman, a spirit that is poured out into this world in order to let me sin. And then it's the last thing. And last thing, we are those who are in charge of the sacrifice. But what is the sacrifice? Again, not the sacrifices of the Old Testament, There are so many nouns, and so many notes, and so many movements were offered, that many, many and more are taken, all of them is passed and is gone. It has been taken and fulfilled in the fullness of warm, warm sacrifice. And therefore, again, what a tremendous consolation to us as priests, that the sacrifice which we offer In your name, in the name of the people, is the sacrifice that we offer in heaven above our Lord of Jesus.
[10:56]
Do this individually of me. And therefore our sacrifice culminates in these wonderful words. Again, we say them all together at this old house. This is my word. This is my word. Shame. for the remittance of those things from the people. That is the glory of the priesthood. And that glory is the glory of a love that does not seek our own. It's the glory that we have as instruments of our Savior redeeming the love of God. That is our joy. And therefore, with great joy also, in this moment, We take off the chapter.

And he washes them, and we wash them. Do this. I gave you an example. Do this to one. And from there and in its words and in its actions, in this example, there the power and the glory of the priesthood is going into your own heart.
