2024 Homilies

1.
The temple was built on a mountain.
There were many roads that led up to it, and quite a few gates to enter the temple compound.
Along the main road leading to the temple, was a marketplace, where money changers and merchants sold things related to the temple: animals and cereals for offerings, garments, and of course the money changers to trade the various currencies people would bring from far off lands.
Some scripture scholars surmise that this market road would spill into the temple compound on occassion, and this is probably what had happened in our Gospel.
There were too many sellers, not enough room along the street, and so they set up shop in the temple compound. A place for prayer, was overcome with business.
And so Jesus took his time, plated a whip, and when the moment was right, he drove them out. Zeal for God's house, consumed Him.
2.
Zeal is love in action.
Zeal is the action of a lover towards their beloved.
The Trinity is a community of love, and so in the Gospel we saw the love of the Son for the Father.
That love consumed Him, and thus He cleaned His Father's house.
3.
It is a good thing for us, to ask God to help us love Him.
To pray daily, that He may make us love Him.
To beg for the gift, of a deep and abiding love.
That zeal for His house, may also consume us.
