Bible study mode activate. The first reading for this Sunday from Isaiah is fire. God is speaking to the people of Israel, saying, “I will place the keys of the House of David on the shoulder of Eliakim. When he shuts it, no one will open it. And when he opens, no one shall shut. When the king is away, Eliakim, you are in charge.” We see this again in the Gospel. Jesus says to Peter, “You are rock, you are Peter. On this rock, I will build my church. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” And I can imagine all the apostles doing a double take because they know the book of Isaiah. They understand what Jesus is saying to Peter. “When I am away, I give you the keys of heaven. You are in charge.” Realize this beautiful gift that Jesus has given us—His Church and His authority, through the Holy Father, through our amazing Pope Francis. You are safe within the rock of Peter.

Soften The Hardened Heart
Let’s talk about Thanos. Thanos is not a good guy. He basically destroys half of the universe. He has so many opportunities to change his heart, but his heart is so hardened that he is not able to. And that’s the downfall of Thanos, that his heart is so hardened that he can’t have a conversion. In the gospel for this Sunday…
