Mr. Pajot. So I'm Jonathan Pajot. I am a liturgical artist, a writer, but mostly I would say I'm someone who loves patterns and loves to show the beauty of the world, the beauty of art, the beauty of stories, the beauty of images. And the gospel is, for me, the key. It really is the place where these patterns come together.

And I often say that, but it's rare that I have the chance to sometimes show it, to be able to point it out so that people can see to what extent the story of Jesus brings all the stories together. And so, you know, it's a huge undertaking.

Because we're coming in the shadow of our Exodus seminar, that's the way that I'm going to approach all of this, which is what I'm hoping to do is to constantly help people see that the realities we perceived in Exodus, right, this fractal mountain of the world and how the world comes together,

some of the puzzles that were presented in Exodus and are presented in Genesis actually are brought together into this story. So that is my hope is to hopefully help people that are watching and everybody here see just how precious and beautiful this story is. And the fact that it has become

the cornerstone of Western civilization is not an accident of history, but it is through the very nature of the character of Christ, but also his story. So...

the word the world into being it's joining it with the greek idea of logos which is huge obviously we'll talk about that um but what i'd like to just propose is that what we'll see when we look at the narrative of jesus is that what's described right there at the beginning which is that the light that shines in the darkness and the darkness that does not recognize it but just this idea of the light moving down into the darkness

is the whole structure of the life of Jesus. You'll see that happening all through his life, which is, it explains everything that he does, is that he moves from this mysterious meaning, this source of being, and then he moves out into death, into disease, into the margin, into all the things that don't fit. He basically fills the world with himself, but the world does not recognize him.

And so that's the first thing that I would say is that as we read the rest of all the other scripture, because people will tell us that that, you know, John is the weird gospel. It doesn't it's not the same as the synoptic gospels. But I think this pattern here is the actual pattern of the life of Jesus that you see all through all through the story.

And in some ways, the what the story of Jesus and how he does that story. nonstop and in every single way that you even haven't thought of is going to be the proof of this. That it's like, do you know what that looks like for the light to move down into the darkness? What does that look like?

And Christ will show that through His miracles, through His teaching, through His crucifixion, all through the story.

So what word was at the beginning? The idea is to say, this is ultimately the Christian understanding, is to say that the God speaking is not created. When God speaks, it's not something else created. than Him. It is in some ways separate from Him, but also God. This is coming to love that Bishop Barron was going to talk about, that God speaking is His own being that is speaking into the world.
