I don't want to forget this one and am copying it here. </p><p><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">Highlights</span>:</p><p>1. <b>Sacrament</b>: Barclay states, "In the house of every one of us there is a drawer full of things which can only be called junk, and yet we will not throw them out, because when we touch and handle and look at them, they bring back this or that person, or this or that occasion. They are common things but they have a meaning far beyond themselves. That is a sacrament."</p><p>2. <b>Covenant</b>: Barclay continues, ". . . Man's sin interrupts the relationship between man and God. All the Jewish sacrificial system was designed to restore that relationship by the offering of sacrifice to God to atone for sin. What Jesus said was this--'By my life and by my death I have made possible a new relationship between you and God. You are sinners. That is true. But because I died for you, God is no longer your enemy but your friend.'"</p><p>2. <b>Judas Effect:</b> Barclay argues, "Jesus Christ has at every communion table those who betray him [Judases], for if in his house we pledge ourselves to him and then by our lives go out to deny him, we too are traitors to him."</p>Stan Blackburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076567688318349757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748147400903656815.post-55664728546622587172021-12-26T16:59:00.000-05:002021-12-26T16:59:12.521-05:00Freedom <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPR36fCK0Kmjjuzz7Ndv7KCA7JB4UWYeIrZPBQ-T9nXGIKl3Cca4qgCZw23EWdGcS1wUf0HE7-jfXC-04pIDWmJZHopQkq6Mo0AlqtJwJTUXChGIYn7yB2BHRRN09XG5GFcTTReAxTvJU/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="95" data-original-width="410" height="80" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPR36fCK0Kmjjuzz7Ndv7KCA7JB4UWYeIrZPBQ-T9nXGIKl3Cca4qgCZw23EWdGcS1wUf0HE7-jfXC-04pIDWmJZHopQkq6Mo0AlqtJwJTUXChGIYn7yB2BHRRN09XG5GFcTTReAxTvJU/w352-h80/image.png" width="352" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> This is beautiful reminder found in my church's bulletin today.

These leaders who pride themselves on their power, status, and authority, feel their egos being squeezed. As they see it, this homeless, itinerant “teacher” claims the authority of God. And through his teachings and healings, Jesus has the audacity to challenge their religious and social status in the community. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Point of the Parable</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: The people of Israel are the initial invites to the kingdom. As evidenced by these self-righteous leaders, they have rejected the invitation of Jesus. Therefore he crafts the parable to illustrate their rejection, to illustrate, in an abstract way, their fault. Not only this, but Jesus shows that others will be invited to inherit a kingdom initially intended for them. And these “others” will be people from all walks of life -- outcasts, Gentiles, sinners, prostitutes, lepers, and adulterers. These are the very people the religious leadership rejects and condemns. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Application</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: Genuine faith is not something we can fabricate and fake. If we try this, we will be left empty and walk away. Faith is a living gift that needs food. It is like a glowing ember placed in a fire place. If we do not carefully construct kindling around it, feed it oxygen, and work at making the ember glow hot enough to ignite the tinder and blaze the fire, it will go out and we will be left cold. Faith is not an instant infusion; it is at first a gift, a gift that requires our attention. Faith, also, is not a right; it is not something inherited by any group of people. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This parable symbolizes God’s gift of faith, an all-inclusive invitation to a kingdom of love ushered in by his son, Jesus Christ. It is easy for elitist religious people to say only they are invited and that “others” are condemned because they don’t fit their model of righteousness. But Jesus defies that claim in this section of Matthew’s Gospel. The authors of </span><a href="https://www.sacredspace.ie/scripture/matthew-221-14" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sacred Space</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, for instance, illustrate the point well:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The invitation to the kingdom of heaven is cast wide, yet we are free to say yes or no. No matter how low a stature I seem to have in life, I am welcome. I will shake off the rags of my injustice, my less good self and dress in the clothes of a new, more loving person.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The invitation is universal: Both sinners and saints are invited. The required wedding garment is one that sloughs off our attitude of entitlement, our inherent prejudices, our sub-optimal self. Instead we are to embrace the love of all people regardless of who they are -- all races, all religions, all gender identities, all sexual orientations. This transformation is not something we can simply jump into. Being a more loving, inclusive person is a journey not a destination. But it is a journey on which the Spirit accompanies and empowers us. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Am we willing to put on the proper wedding garment?</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span>Stan Blackburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076567688318349757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748147400903656815.post-32692591979963582692021-07-26T06:09:00.003-04:002021-07-26T06:09:57.339-04:00The Parable of the Two Sons and My Lazy, Stubborn Nature<p></p><blockquote>Jesus said, "What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today .' He answered, 'I will not'; but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, 'I go, sir'; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?" </blockquote><blockquote>[The religious leaders] said, "The first." </blockquote><blockquote>Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe [John the Baptist's message]." </blockquote><blockquote>(Matthew 21:28-32)</blockquote><p>Life is often like this: I am asked to do something I do not want to do. How do I react? I respond with a sarcastic, eye-roll-induced "no." I am lazy by nature and would prefer to chill rather than hustle on my off time. But there is something in me that later realizes the right thing to do, so I get up and do it, albeit reluctantly. It gets done but on my own terms. This refusal/completion game is my lazy stubbornness at work. And I am thankful for the grace to get it done. I just wish, however, that I did not act like such an ass in the process. </p><p>Stubbornness and laziness are my forte for sure. Arrogance, willful neglect, and entitlement, on the other hand, put us on dangerous ground. God, please protect us from blind ignorance and give us the grace to serve others with love and humility in our hearts. Amen. </p><p></p>Stan Blackburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076567688318349757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748147400903656815.post-66715303009326764572021-07-23T06:12:00.000-04:002021-07-23T06:12:04.873-04:00Matthew 20:25-28 -- What Does it Mean to be a Leader?<p></p><blockquote>Jesus called [the twelve disciples] together and said, "You know that the
rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise
authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your
slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:25-28).</blockquote><p></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Jesus' example and teaching point to a life of self-sacrificial,
loving, inclusive leadership and service. In this chapter of Matthew's Gospel, Jesus gives sight to the blind, invites the rejected into his community, humbly pauses to serve the needy, and gives a living example of true leadership. Why, then, do so many in the Christian community (and world in general) teach and model the opposite? Everything in the gospels point to Jesus' healing, love, welcome, humble servitude, and invitation to all. Jesus does not exclude or condemn. Even in this instance (and others) when the disciples get it wrong, Jesus nudges them in the right direction through sound teaching and example: Being a leader is about serving, not being served.

He is a glutton and wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and other outcasts!’ God's wisdom, however, is shown to be true by all who accept it.” ~ Luke 7:33-35</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In analyzing this passage, <a href="https://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/o2244g/" target="_blank">Frank Doyle</a> writes that:</p><p></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">God speaks to us in so many ways and through so many people and situations. It is very easy to find ourselves excluding . . . the people or situations by which God is trying to reach us.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We cannot expect God to speak to us in ways which we find congenial. He may speak to us through a saint or a sinner. Through a conservative or a liberal. Through a man or a woman – or a young child. Through an old person or a young person. Through an educated or an illiterate person . . . . We have, at all times, to be ready to listen with an unprejudiced mind and heart.</p></blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jesus' words, "God's wisdom, however, is shown to be true by all who accept it," have always puzzled me. But when we think about it, God speaks to us in some very unorthodox ways. Here is a case in point:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of my son's friends texted me an incomprehensible, vulgar message regarding my behavior. In translation, he said that I was driving my son away by my overreacting, stubborn, closed-minded way of handling a conflict. And as much as I was irritated by this text (it was poorly written and full of expletives), I realized this kid was right. How did this child, one of my son's friends who I least trusted, posses such a clear understanding of the situation and put a finger on the core of the issue, my poor behavior and blindness? The only answer I could muster was that God's wisdom is boundless and comes to us in unpredictable ways. I was given the grace to listen and start the repair work for the damage I had done to our relationship. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">God speaks to us in unorthodox ways. But it is through Christ and his Spirit, that we are given ears to hear and eyes to see. Jesus points out that, instead of listening, the Pharisees chose to close their ears and stay rooted in their egos. What do we choose?</p>Stan Blackburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076567688318349757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748147400903656815.post-79065359091780104922020-09-11T05:46:00.003-04:002020-09-11T05:46:52.877-04:00Avoid Judging Others -- Luke 6:41-42<p> </p><p></p><i style="text-align: justify;">Jesus said, “Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but pay no attention to the log in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Please, brother, let me take that speck out of your eye,’ yet cannot even see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." </i><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>(Luke 6:41-42)</i></div></div><div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;">The late Frank Doyle, SJ, sums this passage up so well. He says:</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><blockquote style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;">The faults we so easily see in others are often trivial in comparison with our own shortcomings. Of course, much of the energy we exert in putting down others (the main staple of our gossiping sessions!) is sub-consciously to compensate for the shortcomings we are all too aware of in ourselves. Instead of lifting ourselves up by changing our ways, we try to drag others down.</p><p style="text-align: left;">And, so often our judgments are based purely on external behavior. We usually have no idea of the inner motives or intentions of other people or an awareness of their inability to behave otherwise than they do (<a href="https://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/o2236g/" target="_blank">Sacred Space</a>). </p></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;">It is so easy to pass judgment on others, but when we really think about it, we are guilty of at least as much. Maybe our guilt comes in the from of other kinds of wrongdoings than that of which we accuse others, but what Doyle says is true: We are compensating for our own shortcomings, even if it is subliminal. I pray that I avoid this type of bad behavior (of which I am guilty), and through Christ's words, I focus instead on being a better disciple as a person of faith, hope, and love in this world. Amen. </p><p style="text-align: left;"></p></div>Stan Blackburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076567688318349757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748147400903656815.post-21030973666236338062020-07-01T06:26:00.001-04:002020-07-01T06:26:18.431-04:00Genuine Christianity<div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"></div><blockquote><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Make it your aim to do what is right, not what is evil, so that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty really will be with you, as you claim he is. Hate what is evil, love what is right, and see that justice prevails in the courts. Perhaps the Lord will be merciful to the people of this nation who are still left alive.</div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">The Lord says, “I hate your religious festivals; I cannot stand them! When you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; I will not accept the animals you have fattened to bring me as offerings. Stop your noisy songs; I do not want to listen to your harps. Instead, let justice flow like a stream, and righteousness like a river that never goes dry.</div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">(Amos 5:14-15, 21-24)</div></blockquote><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">This passage reminds me of all the false people of faith who hate on others yet self-proclaim their own righteousness; they see themselves as better than the people they hate and persecute. This passage calls attention to my own false ideas of discipleship. According to the prophet Amos, this is not how God sees true worship. We are called to be people of love and care, loving what is good and right while eschewing all that is evil. We are called, moreover, to be people of justice and right behavior. All of this begins and ends with our love of God and neighbor, every neighbor. </div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">How many times, though, do we witness or take part in the opposite? We claim to be good Christians while at the same time we watch the world around us suffer without doing anything about it. Instead, we turn the channel or pass by the panhandler. How may times do we hate on those who we label as sinners, yet we ourselves are guilty of just as much sin, if not even more? We give money, we show up to church functions, and we support the ministries of our parish. As we do this, however, we scoff at those outside of our circles, pointing figurative fingers while casting mental judgment. </div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Through the prophet Amos, God reminds me that my life as a Christian is not about the ceremony and exclusive "club" of the church. Following Christ is not about nurturing my righteousness and belonging to the right group of worshipers. Instead, following Jesus is about loving God and neighbor, no matter who those neighbors are. It is about being transformed into a person of love and self giving so I can bring the love of Jesus to all people in all groups. </div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Peace, </div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;">Stan</div>Stan Blackburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12076567688318349757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748147400903656815.post-20483639975933886442020-06-24T06:11:00.001-04:002020-06-24T06:12:07.331-04:00St. John the Baptist: Our Model of Testimony to Jesus<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><i><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">You, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, </font><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5;">for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way. </span></i></div><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5;">(Luke 1:76)</span></div></blockquote><div style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana">In Zechariah's song, John the Baptist is called to be a prophet, a herald who prepares the way for Jesus Christ, the Lord.

It is through our love that Jesus will be made known to the world. Are we treating others with kindness, mercy, fairness, love, and respect? Are we giving ourselves away in love and kindness to others -- all others? Our lives bear witness to Jesus.

When someone strikes you on [your] right cheek, turn the other one to him as well. (Matthew 5:38-39 NABRE)</font></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></font></div><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Revenge, in all its various forms, is the easier way, the more instinctive way but it is not the better way. The way of active (not passive) non-violence is, in the long run, far more productive, far more in keeping with human ideals and human dignity. We have more than enough evidence in our world of the bankruptcy of a never-ending cycle of violence and counter-violence. We see it in the Middle East, in Northern Ireland. Violence does not pay; revenge is not sweet.</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">The example of Jesus has been followed by a number of outstanding people in our own time. Gandhi in India, Martin Luther King, and Rosa Parks who inspired him, in the US, Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Nazi Germany, Dorothy Day in the US, Jean Goss and Hildegard Meyer of the active non-violence movement in Europe… All of these people were actively involved in the correction of seriously unjust situations.</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">There is a striking scene in the film <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i> where the lawyer (played by Gregory Peck) has been defending a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. As a white man himself the lawyer earns the hatred and contempt of his fellow-whites for defending a “nigger” they have already condemned as guilty. In this scene one of the townspeople approaches the lawyer and spits into his face. The lawyer stands there, says nothing, and slowly wipes away the spit. For the film viewer the contempt immediately shifts to the man who spat. The positive non-action of the lawyer reveals the smallness of his assailant.</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Turning the other cheek is not at all a sign of weakness. It requires great inner strength, self-respect and even respect for the dignity of one’s attacker. Jesus is calling us a long way forward and upward from “an eye for an eye." </span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana" style="line-height: 1.5;">by Fr. Frank Doyle, SJ.

But it is a necessary one. As Fr. Doyle states in his commentary, revenge is easier and more instinctive than active nonviolence. And as human beings, made in the image and likeness of God, we are called to peaceful, active resistance. Everyone's life is sacred, and in the midst of the chaos and wrongdoing in our society, it is our responsibility to listen to the Master, to follow his example of active, peaceful change. It is too easy to get angry and lash out with destructive force. Christ's example speaks volumes.

He asked, “Do you understand what I did for you? You call me ‘Teacher.’ And you call me ‘Lord.’ And this is right, because that is what I am. I am your Lord and Teacher. But I washed your feet. So you also should wash each other’s feet. I did this as an example for you. So you should serve each other just as I served you. (John 13:4-15 ERV)</span></span></div>

He takes each of his disciple’s feet, the filthiest part of their bodies, and cleans them. He does this not as an act of ceremony. Jesus does this to demonstrate a deep truth, one that should resound with every Christian for the past 2000 years, especially modern Christians. He demonstrates the act of deep, self-sacrificing love. A love so deep that he, the Creator of the universe, is willing to take on the role of a Gentile slave and wash the filth from the feet of others. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Peter, in his misinterpretation of Jesus' act, represents the contrast of Christ’s humility. Peter says, “No.” He will not let Jesus be a slave. Peter implies that this work is unfitting of his master. But Jesus reminds him -- he reminds us all -- that being part of Christ is to take on the love of Christ. We must love in a humble, selfless way that lays down our pride and ego and takes up the rags of servitude, even servitude towards our enemies. We cannot forget that Jesus washes the feet of his betrayer, Judas Iscariot. </span></span></span></div>

He says that we should not just take notes but follow suit. This is not easy in a world that teaches the opposite. When I think of being a Christian, I need not think about rules to follow or ceremonies to take part in. Too often we get it wrong and focus on these things. Instead, I need to emulate my Master and love others in a way that sheds the judgment and false outward appeal of piety: I need to love with self-emptying humility, following Jesus’ example. But often I am like Peter, full of my own pride and egotism. </span></span></div>

It is the summation of Jesus’ teaching; love of the other is at the core of all his actions. And Jesus demonstrates the highest form of love, agape, a love of self-sacrifice, when he tells Judas to begin what must be done, his betrayal which will lead to his ignominious death. </span></span></div>

He is, instead, demonstrating the highest form of love, giving his human and divine life for each of us. We should never forget or overlook this: Jesus loves us so much that he dies for the undeserving, and all of us are undeserving. </span></span></div>

He was charged as a criminal, tortured, and hung naked on a cross for all to see. He asphyxiated slowly while the public watched, including his own mother. There is no easy death, but a death of wrongful accusation, ignominy, and torture is among the worse. And we should never forget that God willingly suffered it for each of us, even the Judas Isacriots of the world. </span></span></div>

As I have loved you. . .” In other words, we are to love with abandon, love without limit, and love until it hurts. Our love, then, Jesus says, is the characteristic that defines us as Christians to “everyone.” </span></span></div>

And I am quite bad at it, too. I tend to be selfish, a wimp, and lazy. Just ask my wife. However, there is hope for broken people like me, for we can’t do it alone. It is only through God’s grace that all things, even self-sacrificial love, are made possible. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>To the [the Jewish religious leaders] who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching,<sup data-cr="#cen-NIV-26413A" data-link="(<a href="#cen-NIV-26413A" title="See cross-reference A">A</a>)"></sup> you are really my disciples. <span id="en-NIV-26414">Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” </span></i>(John 8:31-32)</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Faith is not something that comes easy or cheap, and it certainly cannot be achieved; it is a gift of grace freely given. We cannot forget God's grace in this, but accepting God's gift is also a choice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The religious leaders have the opportunity to listen to Jesus and either reject or accept his teaching. Some accept it. And for those who do, Jesus gives clear instructions: He tells them to follow his example and word. And in that they will be living and embracing the truth. Jesus, we cannot forget, <i>is</i> the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). The "truth," then, is <i>not</i> a set of instructions or laws; it is <i>not</i> a set of practices or piety. The "truth" is Jesus himself, all that he says and exemplifies. The truth, moreover, is to be a person of mercy, love, and self-sacrifice. This is no easy feat and cannot be accomplished on our own. All we can do, really, is say, "Yes!" God's grace does the rest. And it is through that grace that we can not only acknowledge the truth but to live in the truth. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lord Jesus, please guide us in your way, truth, and life. Amen. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the most challenging things to do is to wrap my mind around Jesus' call to love those who hate and seek to harm me, those who seek ill will toward me and my loved ones, or, even, those who seek our/their demise. The following is a commentary that just makes sense to me. I am not saying that I can begin to live it, but it offers a clear exposition on this challenging passage from The Sermon on the Mount. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The following commentary is written by Frank Doyle, SJ. And can be found at <a href="https://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/l1017g/">Living Space</a>:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Elsewhere we are told that God IS love, it is his nature; he cannot do anything else. And that love is extended EQUALLY to every single person – to Our Lady, Mother Teresa, to the murdering terrorist, the serial killer, the abusive husband, the pedophile…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The difference is not in God’s love for each of these people but in their response to that love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jesus tells us that we must try to love people in the same way. It is important to note that he is not telling us to be IN love with those who harm us or to like them or to have them as our friends. That would be unrealistic and unreasonable to ask.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But if we just care for those who are nice to us how are we different from others? Even members of a murder gang, people with no religion or morals do the same. But we are called to imitate the God in whose image we have been made.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And is it so unreasonable to love, to care for, to have genuine concern for our enemies and pray for them? One presumes, as we have said, they are enemies in the sense that they are hostile to us even though we have not provoked them in any way. True Christians, from their side, do not have enemies. For someone to be my enemy, it means that person really hates me and may wish to do harm to me or may already have harmed me in some way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do I gain by hating that that person back? Then there are two of us. Why should I allow another’s person’s hate to influence my feelings towards them? A person who hates, is a person who is suffering, a person who is doing more damage to himself – rather than to the supposed enemy. As the gospel says, another person can hurt my body but not my inner self.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And, if he/she does harm me, they only harm themselves as well, even if they get a twisted pleasure in the short term. If I have a true Christian spirit I will reach out in compassion to that person. I will want that person to be healed, healed of their hatred, healed of their anger, and to learn how to love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Surely it is much better and makes more sense to pray for that person than to hate them back. To bring about healing and reconciliation rather than deepen the wound on both sides.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What Jesus is asking us to do is not something impossible or unnatural. It is the only thing that makes sense and will bring peace to me and hopefully in time to the person who is hostile to me. We can literally disarm a hating person by acting towards them in a positive and loving way and refusing to be controlled by their negative attitudes. “Bless are the peacemakers; they will be called children of God.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Silence</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I look back at my previous blog posts and realize that I have not written in a while. I ask myself “Why?” Why do I no longer experience the spiritual fire to write about faith and the love of God? Why the silence?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have struggled for eight years with my faith tradition, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). There are many doctrines and dogmas for which I am opposed: Dogmas such as those condemning homosexuality, birth control, divorce, and women’s ordination. And I struggle with the Church’s view on authority and the papacy. There are other theological issues with which I struggle, too, such as justification through faith and works. And reading through Paul’s letter to the Romans stirs up these issues for me once again. Romans 4 is crystal clear to me: “But [for] those who depend on faith, not on deeds, and [for those] who believe in the God who declares the guilty to be innocent, it is this faith that God takes into account in order to put them right with himself” (Romans 4:5). And this is not even taking into account what Paul teaches about justification in Galatians and Ephesians. We are justified, made right with God, by our faith in Jesus Christ and nothing else. Good works, I am convinced, are the fruit of God’s grace, necessary to live out our faith but part of our sanctification. As Christians we are to do good to all we encounter, even our enemies. But we cannot do this good by our own volition. We do good because we are justified by faith through the free, generous gift of God’s grace (Romans 3:24). This just makes so much sense to me, whereas the Roman Catholic position -- we are justified by faith and works -- does not. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As a Catholic, I turn to the documents of the Church for guidance, namely the </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Catechism of the Catholic Church</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This long work is the RCC guide to theological beliefs. This guide, furthermore, is a convergence of all of the Church’s historical documents put together as one narrative of doctrines and dogmas. It contains the magisterial authoritative voice, then. As a faithful follower of Christ, and with the desire to be a more informed Catholic, I read through and made notes on the entire 800-plus-page document. It has haunted me ever since. Sometimes, I guess, ignorance is bliss. But it is too late for that. By reading through all of the Church's theological and dogmatic positions, I feel as if I opened Pandora's box. Although there are many beautiful doctrines contained therein -- the Trinity, the Eucharist, Mary, Jesus, the saints, the sacraments -- there are many doctrines that continue to trouble my conscience, doctrines with which I simply cannot agree. It has been an eight-year struggle; I don’t think things are going to change. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many ask why I don’t just change churches, finding a church for which I doctrinally agree. I have tried this. However, my wife, whom I love and adore -- my soulmate and the mother of my children -- wants to remain Catholic and could care less about those doctrines that preoccupy me. She loves the Church and can get past the bumps and bruises of its imperfections. Why can’t I? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have attended other churches, Episcopal and Evangelical Lutheran, both denominations that I admire. But as I sit in the pew and pray, I feel an emptiness without my wife and children next to me. Church and worship for me must include those that I most intimately love. And I do not want to impose my struggles upon my wife and children, although this has been unavoidable at times. If they find peace in Catholicism, then I should put their happiness first as I have tired for some time. After all, it is what Jesus did on the cross for me. He suffered humiliation, torture, and a criminal’s execution for my faults and sins when, according to the Gospels and his prayer in Gethsemane, he would have rather not taken on the cross. Who am I, then, to complain? And why do I continue to struggle with this issue after all this time?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To be honest, I haven’t a clue. But I know one thing for sure -- God’s love is bigger than all of this or any problem that I may experience. So I continue to practice a faith tradition to which I cannot fully commit, a tradition that often troubles my conscience. I find it frustrating, but the consolation is that I do it with and for my family. And I know that no matter what the Christian tradition, Christ is present at its core. As a Catholic, I am in his body. I just wish I could embrace this tradition, a tradition that has left me feeling empty and angry at times. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For the few who read this weekly celebration of God’s love, the above diatribe may be the root of my silence. I am not sure. But I hope that this period of silence will soon cease. I pray that God’s peace and love permeate the hearts of all people and that he grant us the wisdom and grace to always do what pleases him. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, amen. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Matthew 15:34-37: The Question of Hunger</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied, “and a few fish.” He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many times I contemplate the condition of our world and the serious problem of hunger, especially among our children. We don’t have to go far to witness this. Children go hungry in our own neighborhoods, and it is a truth that I have difficulty reconciling. I often ask myself the following question: If God is a God of love, then why do so many suffer in our world, especially the innocent? It is not an easy question to answer. However, in his commentary on this passage, Frank Doyle offers an eye-opening answer:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is a crucial element in [Matthew 15:34-37] we cannot overlook. It was not Jesus but his disciples who distributed the food. In our world there is an abundance. Food production outpaces population growth. If there is hunger, malnutrition and other unmet needs, it is because we, God’s stewards, are failing in our task of distribution. If there is hunger and suffering and death, it is not the work of God. It is our failure to work. (<a href="https://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/a1014g/">Living Space</a>)</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Doyle argues what we often ignore: Hunger is not an issue of God’s lack of care; it is, rather, and issue of our own neglect and greed. If I look in my own trash, I see an abundance of discarded food. And it pains me to know that there are those, especially children, who cannot get a satisfying meal. Now, I am not thinking about feeding people out of my trash can, but the discarded food stands as a reminder. Am I being God’s steward, God’s distributor of plenty? The answer is not one I like to hear. But I pray for God’s grace to do a better job with loving my neighbor. Amen. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-right: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I was a kid, I belonged to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). And one of the first things I learned was the group’s motto: “Be Prepared!” As an 11-13 year-old, being prepared meant something totally different than it does as a 47-year-old father of four. Below the surface, however, the basis of that preparation is the same. To be prepared is to think and act ahead, equipping myself for any situation that might happen. But as the BSA taught me, preparation is not just for the self; it is primarily for the good of others. Preparation puts us in a better position to serve others. For if we are serving, we are loving, too. Service involves self-sacrifice, care, time, and generosity, all things for which we must be prepared. Our faith life is no different. If we want to be ready for the coming of Jesus, whether it is the end of times or the end of our own corporeal time, we must be prepared, prepared to give, love, offer ourselves, and empty ourselves. Preparation is no easy task, though. We cannot do it on our own. Thankfully, God is infinitely generous and gives us the necessary grace to persevere and prepare. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-right: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So I ask myself: Am I prepared? Does my life reflect self-sacrifice, care, time, and generosity? I always need work in this area, so I pray for God’s grace to strengthen me. Amen. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things, saying to them, "It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves." And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death[.]</span></blockquote>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being true to ourselves, true to what our conscience tells us is right and good in the context of our faith, is a serious challenge. Truth is the enemy to those who live lives of falsehood. And if I am honest, I fall into this category at times. I like to believe that which is comforting and self-confirming. But what is true, what is of God, is often antagonistic to my personal preference, especially when my desires put last the love of others. In his commentary on this passage, Frank Doyle states:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jesus is an example of the true prophet. He speaks as a messenger of God and is indeed God’s own Son. He stands as a counter-witness to all that is against truth, love and justice and as such inevitably incurs the anger and hostility of those who have power, power based on falsehood, on self-interest, corruption and injustice.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our Church, in its communities and through individuals, is called on to continue that mission of counter-witness. It will win us the support and admiration of some but also the hostility, the anger and even the violence of others. This is something we should not at all be surprised at nor something we should try to avoid. Our only concern must be always to speak the truth in love.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">God will take care of the rest. Because, ultimately, truth, love and justice will prevail.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Doyle’s point is that we cannot have truth our way, the way of self-service, power, and personal gain. Truth should never include dishonesty, injustice, and self-interest. Instead, truth entails honesty, self-giving love, and putting the other person first. And everything Jesus exemplifies with his life and teaching, points to this truth. But his is not an easy truth to live, for truth is often of high personal cost. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

And I pray for God’s grace to change me, to transform my life into a life where I see, understand, and live more truthfully. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">* by personal prayer </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">* by absorbing the message of the Gospel so much into our way of seeing life that it permeates everything we say and do; we become “other Christs” by learning to find Jesus, to love and respond to him in every person, in every place and in every experience of our daily life.</span></div>
