Cursed Be the Man Who Rebuilds Jericho‏

About this sermon

Jericho is the lowest city on earth. Jerusalem is an elevated city, some 1,300 feet above sea level. Spiritually speaking, these cities are light years a part. Jericho, according to the Church Fathers, represents iniquity and the City of Man, whereas Jerusalem is a place of peace and the City of God. Jericho was destroyed by Joshua and the Israelites. Soon after, a curse was put upon any man that would rebuild that city. When a baptized man, filled with the Catholic Faith and sanctifying grace, begins to walk towards Jericho and rejects the Truth of Christ, he has rebuilt Jericho in his soul. Only Christ, the Good Samaritan, Who is the treasure within the Ark of the New Covenant, can march towards that fallen man, blow the trumpet of the Good News, and nurse that man back to spiritual health. An example of the merciful work of the Good Samaritan is seen in the life of the Venerable Matt Talbot. For more please visit http://reginaprophetarum.org & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest
