    Fr. Boniface explains the hidden meaning of incense, how the tree must be wounded or tapped, and how incense serves as a visceral physical metaphor for Gods love and our suffering.

    I started burning incense last week and my prayer life has become more fruitful. One thing father said about loving someone into exposing themselves, reminded me of Archbishop Fulton Sheen who said sometimes the only way God can get to some hearts is to break them. Not everyone can be loved to exposing their “sap.”

    At the Church of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, there is a local Palestinian family who attend early every morning to pour myrrh and frankincense oil on the anointing stone where Christ was laid down from the cross for preparation for burial. They also have oil lamps above the stone which drop this oil on the stone. 3x a day they have an incense procession there. The deacons of Armenian, Eastern Orthodox and Coptic process the incense around all the different altars, the aedicule and the anointing stone.

    Frankincense & Myrrh also have actual healing properties for skin conditions.

    Incense is derived from the resinous sap of the tree. A 🌲 pine tree which has been struck by lightning will ooze a great deal of pine resin, which can be harvested to make perfume etc.

    Padre, I love this meditation! Just to add something… don’t forget that the prophet Hosea was a “dresser of sycamores” -he would “bleed” out the bitterness of the trees so that the sap and fruit would be of the greatest essence and taste. Would that Christ would bleed out the bitterness in our hearts and minds thus transforming and Eucharistifying us into a mirror image of Himself….

    It’s interesting to hear him explain “the priest” taking on the wounds of his people. He then gets to Christ. But we Protestants struggle with the Catholic role for a priest. He behaves like an intermediary…why wouldn’t it just be direct between the believer and Christ?

    • @jwilsonhandmadeknives2760
      @jwilsonhandmadeknives2760 Рік тому +23

      short answer: the priest is an intercessor, not an intermediary. he touches on it at 1:40. Christ is doing the work, the priest is the conduit.
      long answer: a priest is much more than a pastor. (Apostolic succession). Christ gave the apostles authority to bind and loose and to perform sacraments. Also refer to the temple priests in the OT. Priests are not laity.
