In our lives, we always can sort of In our lives, we always can sort of trace the path of trace the path of trace the path of how we matured from our childhood into how we matured from our childhood into how we matured from our childhood into adulthood, how we left behind childish adulthood, how we left behind childish adulthood, how we left behind childish ways to become more responsible, take on ways to become more responsible, take on ways to become more responsible, take on sort of bigger tasks in life. Things sort of bigger tasks in life. Things sort of bigger tasks in life. Things became just more sophisticated, more became just more sophisticated, more became just more sophisticated, more advanced. There's a complexity to life advanced. There's a complexity to life advanced. There's a complexity to life because of all the things that we have because of all the things that we have because of all the things that we have to do. to do. to do. And so that is sort of the trajectory of And so that is sort of the trajectory of And so that is sort of the trajectory of entering into adulthood. entering into adulthood. entering into adulthood. But with this progression into But with this progression into But with this progression into complexity, sophistication, all this complexity, sophistication, all this complexity, sophistication, all this responsibility, responsibility, responsibility, there is something that we lose behind, there is something that we lose behind, there is something that we lose behind, and that is that simplicity of heart. and that is that simplicity of heart. and that is that simplicity of heart. That simplicity of heart that our Lord That simplicity of heart that our Lord That simplicity of heart that our Lord here is reminding here is reminding here is reminding the disciples around him, and that's why the disciples around him, and that's why the disciples around him, and that's why he makes the reference here to the he makes the reference here to the he makes the reference here to the children. children. children. It is because it is in that simplicity It is because it is in that simplicity It is because it is in that simplicity of heart that we can actually see and of heart that we can actually see and of heart that we can actually see and appreciate the things of God. See and appreciate the things of God. See and appreciate the things of God. See and appreciate how he works in our life. See appreciate how he works in our life. See appreciate how he works in our life. See and appreciate what we have to do and and appreciate what we have to do and and appreciate what we have to do and how we have to follow our Lord, and not how we have to follow our Lord, and not how we have to follow our Lord, and not everything has to go then through the everything has to go then through the everything has to go then through the filter of complexity and sophistication filter of complexity and sophistication filter of complexity and sophistication as we do in our adult lives.

as we do in our adult lives. as we do in our adult lives. Because so often, Because so often, Because so often, it's the simplest things that our Lord it's the simplest things that our Lord it's the simplest things that our Lord wants to tell us, and yet we still don't wants to tell us, and yet we still don't wants to tell us, and yet we still don't choose them because we contort choose them because we contort choose them because we contort everything. We sort of take it and bend everything. We sort of take it and bend everything. We sort of take it and bend it to our own whims and to our own wish it to our own whims and to our own wish it to our own whims and to our own wish because that's how we see the world. because that's how we see the world. because that's how we see the world. That's how we will develop as adults. That's how we will develop as adults. That's how we will develop as adults. And so even though we know the right And so even though we know the right And so even though we know the right answers, we still choose the wrong answers, we still choose the wrong answers, we still choose the wrong answers because that is just how we answers because that is just how we answers because that is just how we formed ourselves. formed ourselves. formed ourselves. And so our Lord is reminding us we have And so our Lord is reminding us we have And so our Lord is reminding us we have to keep coming back to that simplicity to keep coming back to that simplicity to keep coming back to that simplicity of heart because ultimately God is of heart because ultimately God is of heart because ultimately God is actually one. God is simple. God is a actually one. God is simple. God is a actually one. God is simple. God is a perfect union. God doesn't have many perfect union. God doesn't have many perfect union. God doesn't have many complex parts as one might imagine that complex parts as one might imagine that complex parts as one might imagine that God is some ultra complex thing. God is God is some ultra complex thing. God is God is some ultra complex thing. God is actually super simple because God is actually super simple because God is actually super simple because God is fully actualized, fully working in the fully actualized, fully working in the fully actualized, fully working in the world, and God is not changing. world, and God is not changing. world, and God is not changing. And so it is when we actually sort of And so it is when we actually sort of And so it is when we actually sort of cultivate this kind of childlike cultivate this kind of childlike cultivate this kind of childlike simplicity of heart, not being childish, simplicity of heart, not being childish, simplicity of heart, not being childish, but childlike simplicity, that we but childlike simplicity, that we but childlike simplicity, that we actually start having more wonder and actually start having more wonder and actually start having more wonder and awe. That we actually start appreciating awe. That we actually start appreciating awe. That we actually start appreciating what God gives us, that we actually can what God gives us, that we actually can what God gives us, that we actually can savor the little things of life and not savor the little things of life and not savor the little things of life and not always be in pursuit of the next thing, always be in pursuit of the next thing, always be in pursuit of the next thing, worrying about the next big worrying about the next big worrying about the next big responsibility, worrying about the next responsibility, worrying about the next responsibility, worrying about the next thing that life sort of convolutes in thing that life sort of convolutes in thing that life sort of convolutes in our way.

our way. our way. We can actually be present to this We can actually be present to this We can actually be present to this little spiritual ways that God is little spiritual ways that God is little spiritual ways that God is interacting with us. interacting with us. interacting with us. And And And it helps to actually see here in the the it helps to actually see here in the the it helps to actually see here in the the parable of the 99 sheep how limited we parable of the 99 sheep how limited we parable of the 99 sheep how limited we are because for us in our way, we would are because for us in our way, we would are because for us in our way, we would say, "Well, yes, I still have the 99 say, "Well, yes, I still have the 99 say, "Well, yes, I still have the 99 sheep. We lost one. Well, then that's sheep. We lost one. Well, then that's sheep. We lost one. Well, then that's the collateral damage of life. Well, the collateral damage of life. Well, the collateral damage of life. Well, perfectly, I still have 99. Well, I'm perfectly, I still have 99. Well, I'm perfectly, I still have 99. Well, I'm 99% success ratio. That's perfectly 99% success ratio. That's perfectly 99% success ratio. That's perfectly enough. We just keep going forward. Too enough. We just keep going forward. Too enough. We just keep going forward. Too bad for that one, whatever that is." It bad for that one, whatever that is." It bad for that one, whatever that is." It could And this is how we treat a lot of could And this is how we treat a lot of could And this is how we treat a lot of relationships, things in our life that relationships, things in our life that relationships, things in our life that as long as we're doing above average, as long as we're doing above average, as long as we're doing above average, then whatever gets damaged along the then whatever gets damaged along the then whatever gets damaged along the way, it doesn't matter. We keep moving way, it doesn't matter. We keep moving way, it doesn't matter. We keep moving forward. forward. forward. That shows how limited of a mind and That shows how limited of a mind and That shows how limited of a mind and heart we have, that we do not have an heart we have, that we do not have an heart we have, that we do not have an all-encompassing heart, that for God, all-encompassing heart, that for God, all-encompassing heart, that for God, every single soul is worthwhile to every single soul is worthwhile to every single soul is worthwhile to actually go and pursue, that that actually go and pursue, that that actually go and pursue, that that actually God is actually pursuing that actually God is actually pursuing that actually God is actually pursuing that soul soul soul that goes astray more that the ones that that goes astray more that the ones that that goes astray more that the ones that are following because God knows that are following because God knows that are following because God knows that these ones already moving in sanctifying these ones already moving in sanctifying these ones already moving in sanctifying grace. But, the one that has gone astray grace. But, the one that has gone astray grace. But, the one that has gone astray is going to the road of perdition, to is going to the road of perdition, to is going to the road of perdition, to the road of hellfire, and so it is worth the road of hellfire, and so it is worth the road of hellfire, and so it is worth to do everything to save that one soul.

With our limitedness, we say, "Well, too With our limitedness, we say, "Well, too With our limitedness, we say, "Well, too bad, so sad for that one soul, for that bad, so sad for that one soul, for that bad, so sad for that one soul, for that one person, for that one relationship. one person, for that one relationship. one person, for that one relationship. We just keep plowing forward. We still We just keep plowing forward. We still We just keep plowing forward. We still have 99 successful things happening." have 99 successful things happening." have 99 successful things happening." But, that is revealing to us how limited But, that is revealing to us how limited But, that is revealing to us how limited of a heart to love we have, how limited of a heart to love we have, how limited of a heart to love we have, how limited of a mind to understand the deeper of a mind to understand the deeper of a mind to understand the deeper truths we have. And so it is to return truths we have. And so it is to return truths we have. And so it is to return to that kind of childlike simplicity, to that kind of childlike simplicity, to that kind of childlike simplicity, that simplicity that allows us to see that simplicity that allows us to see that simplicity that allows us to see the deeper the deeper the deeper wisdom in things, to tap into the deeper wisdom in things, to tap into the deeper wisdom in things, to tap into the deeper divine wisdom that so often we are divine wisdom that so often we are divine wisdom that so often we are blinded from because of our so-called blinded from because of our so-called blinded from because of our so-called sophistication of life, sophisticated sophistication of life, sophisticated sophistication of life, sophisticated method of rationalizing things away, of method of rationalizing things away, of method of rationalizing things away, of sort of sort of rationalizing God out of sort of sort of rationalizing God out of sort of sort of rationalizing God out of our life essentially, choking him out. our life essentially, choking him out. our life essentially, choking him out. And so, during this mass, brothers and And so, during this mass, brothers and And so, during this mass, brothers and sisters, let us ask that we may have sisters, let us ask that we may have sisters, let us ask that we may have that simplicity of heart reinstalled in that simplicity of heart reinstalled in that simplicity of heart reinstalled in us, that we have that docility, we have us, that we have that docility, we have us, that we have that docility, we have that approach to God that we are able that approach to God that we are able that approach to God that we are able then to see things how he sees it, to then to see things how he sees it, to then to see things how he sees it, to have that ability to also pursue the one have that ability to also pursue the one have that ability to also pursue the one that goes astray, not just worry about that goes astray, not just worry about that goes astray, not just worry about the ones that we have and just conserve the ones that we have and just conserve the ones that we have and just conserve it, go into a defensive mode, but our it, go into a defensive mode, but our it, go into a defensive mode, but our minds and our hearts keep opening up minds and our hearts keep opening up minds and our hearts keep opening up so that we can actually pursue what is so that we can actually pursue what is so that we can actually pursue what is good, what is holy, and always strive good, what is holy, and always strive good, what is holy, and always strive for greatness in our witness to Christ.
