From the Desk of Father Jonathan

Roman Catholic Priests and deacons in all parts of the world pray the same “breviary” every day. It is a set of psalms, prayers, and readings that lead us through the day.

One reading made a strong impression on me this week and I wanted to share it with you.

This is from Saint Clement I, who was pope in the 1st century after Christ from the years 88-99. Nearly two thousand years later, the radical call to love like Christ still impels us to deep conversion of heart!

________

Second Reading From a letter to the Corinthians by Saint Clement I, pope Who can express the binding power of divine love?....

Love unites us to God; it cancels innumerable sins, has no limits to its endurance, bears everything pa-tiently. Love is neither servile nor arrogant. It does not provoke schisms or form cliques, but always acts in harmony with others. By it all God’s chosen ones have been sanctified; without it, it is impossi-ble to please him. Out of love the Lord took us to himself; because he loved us and it was God’s will, our Lord Jesus Christ gave his life’s blood for us – he gave his body for our body, his soul for our soul.

..... To him therefore we must turn, begging of his mercy that there may be found in us a love free from human partiality and beyond reproach. Every generation from Adam’s time to ours has passed away; but those who by God’s grace were made perfect in love have a dwelling now among the saints, and when at last the kingdom of Christ ap-pears, they will be revealed. Take shelter in your rooms for a little while, says Scripture, until my wrath subsides. Then I will remember the good days, and will raise you from your graves.

Happy are we, beloved, if love enables us to live in harmony and in the observance of God’s com-mandments, for then it will also gain for us the re-mission of our sins. Scripture pronounces happy those whose transgressions are pardoned, whose sins are forgiven. Happy the man, it says, to whom the Lord imputes no fault, on whose lips there is no guile. This is the blessing given those whom God has chosen through Jesus Christ our Lord. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

God bless, Father Jonathan

THE DEMANDS OF DISCIPLESHIP

Today we encounter readings that already have a Lenten feel about them. Nineveh undergoes a forty-day fast, the psalmist reminds us that God alone can show sinners the way, Paul shows us how fleeting the things and events of this world are, and Jesus cries out “Repent!” before he calls his new followers. “Come after me,” Jesus says, but if we are to truly live out the commands and demands of our discipleship through baptism, we must first know our need for conversion, our repentance, our need to believe in the gospel fully. Today’s Gospel opens with the stark reminder of what befell John the Baptist for completely living out his vocation as the herald of Christ and the gospel: he was arrested, imprisoned, and martyred. Though few of us will experience consequences that extreme, we must all be ready to risk some sort of rejection as, heeding the call of Jesus, we live out the kingdom of God at hand, repent of our sins, and believe in the good news of salvation.

LE ESIGENZE DI ESSERE DISCEPOLO

Nel Vangelo di Marco è la prima predica di Gesù. È brevissima, ma offre una sintesi felicissima dei temi fondamentali di tutta la sua predicazione: il compimento del tempo, il regno di Dio, la conversione, la fede al vangelo. Poi vi è la chiamata dei primi discepoli: è il paradigma concreto di ogni sequela. Ci sono due indicativi teologici che sono la ragione dei due successivi imperativi antropologici: è suonata l’ora messianica, l’attesa è finita poiché il regno di Dio si è fatto vicino, è ormai presente nella storia, perciò non è più possibile rimandare la decisione, occorre convertirsi, cambiare cioè la testa e la direzione del cammino passando a credere al vangelo. Conversione e fede non sono due azioni che si succedono, ma due momenti del medesimo movimento: quello negativo del distacco, quello positivo di fondare la vita sul vangelo, cioè credere, mettendosi a seguire Gesù, appunto come Simone e Andrea, Giacomo e Giovanni. Vangelo è il termine greco che significa lieta notizia nuova, e una bella notizia evidentemente porta gioia. Il regno di Dio è l’espressione riassuntiva di tutta la gioia. Gesù è questo regno arrivato: la gioia è qui a portata di mano. Chi decide di seguire Gesù è sicuro di arrivarci

anche lui. © lachiesa.it

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

One of the most unusual Catholic churches in the world is in Amsterdam: Our Lord in the Attic, or as the locals say, “Ons Lieve Heer op Solder.” What looks like a beautiful narrow brick mansion alongside a canal is a clever disguise for a very well-preserved seventeenth-century home and a secret church. During the Reformation, the Netherlands was divided into Protestant Holland and the Spanish Nether-lands, now known as Belgium, a Catholic stronghold. Protestant reformers seized all the Catholic parishes in Hol-land and “de-Catholicized” them. New laws forbade the celebration of the Mass in public. St. Nicholas Church was renamed “Old Church” by the new owners, and the dispos-sessed Catholics got to work “hiding” St. Nicholas Parish in the upper floors of this mansion. Other Catholics did the same thing, but this is the only hidden church that survives today. Sunday Mass is still celebrated here. It’s a beautiful hideaway, with nothing spared in re-gard to marble, gilding, a pipe organ, and classic Dutch painting. A few steps away, the Old Church, begun in 1250, stands emptied of the statues and carvings of its Catholic days, its windows replaced by plain glass. The new tenants gave up when it came to the ceiling, which is still painted with saints, biblical scenes, and merchant ships. The Dutch reformers were tolerant sorts, and as long as the Catholics kept out of sight, they were out of mind. Catholicism was at last tolerated in Holland after 1853, but in 1924 when the International Eucharistic Congress was held in Amsterdam, processions of Catholics were still forbidden in the streets. Today, Roman Catholics are about 19 percent of the population, and there’s no need for any of them to hide in the attic.

From Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Faro & Sons

LAS EXIGENCIAS DE SER DISCÍPULO Hoy ya encontramos lecturas con el tono penitencia de Cuaresma. Nínive ayuna durante cuarenta días, el salmista nos recuerda que sólo Dios puede indicarles el camino a los pecadores, san Pablo nos muestra que todas las cosas y los acontecimientos de este mundo son transitorios y Jesús nos dice: “Arrepiéntanse” antes de llamar a sus nuevos seguidores. “Síganme”, dice Jesús, pero si realmente vivimos los mandamientos y las exigencias de ser discípulos por el Bautismo, nos daremos cuenta de nuestra necesidad de conversión, de nuestro arrepentimiento, nuestra necesidad de creer plenamente en el Evangelio. El Evangelio de hoy comienza recordándonos lo que le sucedió a Juan Bautista por vivir plenamente su vocación como heraldo de Cristo y del Evangelio: fue arrestado, encarcelado y martirizado. Si bien pocos de nosotros sufriremos consecuencias tan extremas, todos debemos estar preparados para enfrentar algún tipo de rechazo por hacerle caso al llamado de Jesús, vivir el Reino de Dios que está próximo, arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados y creer en la buena nueva de salvación.
