  • When the Dependable Things Fail Us | #1452

    When the Dependable Things Fail Us | #1452
    2024/11/22
    Ordinary Time, 33rd Sunday (B) Ancient people couldn't depend on much. Plagues, wars, earthquakes, death, and decay all dogged their lives. The heavens above appeared incredibly stable and predictable. When Jesus says, "The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken," what he means is that the dependable things are failing us. When everything else fails, we can still count on Jesus. His words are more dependable than heaven and earth. A constant reminder of Jesus' dependable love for us is the gift of our guardian angel. St. Gemma Galgani could see her guardian angel. St. John Bosco was protected miraculously by a big black dog. Last month, inspired by the feast of the Guardian Angels, I wrote a song to my guardian angel. Let me sing it to you. (17 Nov 2024) Going Deeper: Try singing the song for yourself. It's set to the tune Old 100th (like All People That on Earth do Dwell).

  • How Mite You Be Generous? | #1451

    How Mite You Be Generous? | #1451
    2024/11/11

    Ordinary Time, 32nd Sunday (B) Jesus is impressed not with the size of the donation; he is impressed with a generous heart. A poor widow holds nothing back; she gives God her whole livelihood.

    God has blessed me with gifts, perhaps less than I had hoped. The temptation is to hoard the little I have and use it for myself. God's invitation is to be generous with what we have and trust that he will give us more.

    For many Americans, time is worth more than money. Don't be afraid to be generous with time for daily prayers and Sunday Mass. At Sunday Mass, we offer ourselves and all that we have to the Father, and receive his abundant blessings. If you are generous with God, you will have some left over. Give God the chance to earn your trust.

    (10 Nov 2024)

    Going Deeper: The word used for "livelihood" in the Greek is bios. Read and reflect on what it means (see BibleHub.com):

    Usage: In the New Testament, "bios" primarily refers to the physical aspect of life, encompassing one's livelihood, possessions, and the duration of life. It is distinct from "ζωή" (zōē), which often refers to life in a more spiritual or eternal sense. "Bios" can denote the means by which life is sustained, such as wealth or resources, and can also refer to the conduct or manner of one's life.

    Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, "bios" was commonly used to describe the tangible aspects of life, including one's social status, wealth, and daily living. The concept of "bios" was often contrasted with the philosophical or spiritual life, which was considered of higher value in many philosophical traditions. In Jewish thought, life was a gift from God, and the way one lived ("bios") was a reflection of one's relationship with God and adherence to His commandments.

    (bíos) is the root of the English term "biography," i.e. the record (account) of how we invested (or spent!) our physical lives.

  • Three Levels of Vocation | #1450

    Three Levels of Vocation | #1450
    2024/11/05
    Ordinary Time, 31st Sunday (B) The first level of vocation is the Universal Call to Holiness. This means that we were made in the image and likeness of God, and God is love. We are called to allow the love of God to transform every aspect of our lives. Holiness is nothing other than living love in every aspect of our lives. The second level is the call to love in a specific and permanent state of life. Jesus is called to be the High Priest. Priests are called to reveal Christ's love to his church. Religious live totally for God, as we all will in heaven. Married couples love one another as Christ loves the Church. Each one incarnates God's love in a unique and permanent way. The third level is the ongoing discernment of loving God and neighbor in the practicalities of everyday life. This requires constant discernment. Fortunately Jesus is with us. Vocation is not really an equation to be solved. It is rather a call to be with Jesus and to live and love from this place of communion with Jesus. (3 Nov 2024) Going Deeper: How does each level of vocation build on the previous level? What would it look like if you totally lived God's love in every aspect of your life?
