Getting a Handle on Entertainment

It is certainly no sin to desire and to work for happiness here on earth, as long as we have the right expectations.

Jesus is very clear in telling us that the complete fulfill-ment and permanent satisfaction that our hearts long for will never be found here on earth.

All the pains and pleasures of this world, all the accom-plishments and achievements that look good on a college application or a résumé - these are all passing things.

We were made for greater things, for eternal life with God in heaven.

Here is how Emeritus Pope Benedict explained it just days before he was elected Pope in 2005:

"All people desire to leave a lasting mark. But what en-dures? Money does not. Even buildings do not, nor books. Af-ter a certain time, longer or shorter, all these things disappear. The only thing that lasts forever is the human soul, the human person created by God for eternity."

It is a healthy thing for us to ask ourselves where we are looking for our true happiness: from the satisfactions of this world, or from our everlasting friendship with Jesus Christ?

One thermometer for this aspect of our spiritual lives is our use of entertainment.

People banking on perfect happiness in this passing world often give top priority to entertainment. They tend to live for the weekend, to live for vacation. They tend to spend all their free time indulging in their favorite hobby. They tend to become easily upset if something prevents them from watching the game or seeing their favorite TV show.

But people who are truly working for "food that endures" are more balanced in their use of entertainment. They more easily recognize that the purpose of entertainment is to help us relax and re-create, restoring our energies so that we can keep on striving to fulfill our life mission. They don't live for the weekends, they use the weekends to help them live life more fully.

When Jesus renews his commitment to us at Mass, let's ask him to help us renew our commitment to him, so that while we continue working for a living each week, we don't lose sight of what it's really all about.

School of Religion 2018 registration begins August 1st. Classes begin September 9th.
