 2024 Homilies
 
+2-25
+In our first reading:
+
+"Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love,
+and go to the land of Moriah.
+There you shall offer him up as a holocaust
+on a height that I will point out to you."
+
+And then in the Gospel, on a high mountain, God says:
+
+"This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
+
+////
+
+An only son.
+
+Born in old age.
+
+To a barren woman, made fruitful by a miracle.
+
+His parents loved him dearly.
+
+They had watched him grow from a little baby, to a young man full of promise and possibility.
+
+This son was going to carry on the family line, he was going to care for his parents in their infirmaty.
+
+He was their present joy, and their hope for tomorrow.
+
+/
+
+And God said: take that beloved son, and offer him up as a holocaust.
+
+//
+
+What's not included in this selection we hear in the first reading, is that Abraham arose early the next morning, took his son, and began travelling towards the mountain.
+
+Who knows what the conversation between him and Sarah was like that night. We cannot know the tears and rage and pain that marked the sleepless night.
+
+But still, Abraham took his son, prepared to sacrifice him.
+
+/
+
+Isaac spoke to his father Abraham. “Father, here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?”
+
+“My son,” Abraham answered, “God will provide the sheep for the burnt offering.” Then the two walked on together.
+
+/
+
+And we know God provided, at the last minute, an angel was sent to stop Abraham, and a sheep was provided instead.
+
+////
+
+We move to the Gospel.
+
+On another mountain.
+
+Another only son.
+
+Loved dearly by His Father.
+
+Born of a virgin, the child of a miracle.
+
+"This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
+
+/
+
+God did provide a sheep.
+
+He will not allow us to sacrifice our own sons, but he will lead His own to the slaughter.
+
+A true sacrifice, giving us a feast of His flesh and blood.
+
+/
+
+That is the love of our God.
