Dear Friends, The psychiatrist was interviewing a first time patient. “You say you’re here,” he inquired, “because your family is worried about your taste in socks?” “That’s correct,” muttered the patient. “I happen to like wool socks.” “But that’s perfectly normal,” replied the doctor. “Many people prefer wool socks to those made from cotton or acrylic. In fact, I myself like wool socks.” “You Do?” exclaimed the man. “With oil and vinegar or just a squeeze of lemon?” Have you noticed how when some folks see others manifesting different behavior than they would in a particular situation they don’t consider the others different but rather they judge the others to be ill? Now, this, in fact, may be the case, but the label can often be used for all who act differently than they do. I have discovered that many consider variety to be the spice of life until they are threatened by that variety. When we brand another as sick when in reality he or she might merely be different, it seems to me we might do so because of our own insecurities. To be able to tolerate and even appreciate differences in others is one of the real indications of mature development. Differences extend beyond mere physical appearances to a wide variety of matters: opinions, tastes, cultures and the like. Each element of the difference, when joined together, provide a richness which might be lacking in the parts. In our own Catholic faith, there are certainly legitimate differences among us. The various liturgical rites demonstrate not only a tolerance but actual appreciation of the pluralism characteristic of the Church. When it comes to doctrinal differences, the matter becomes a bit more difficult. I often wonder, when I view a particular group branding another liberal or conservative, whether the members of the group using the sobriquet to denote the other ever actually take the time to look deeply into the views of the other camp. I’ll bet some surprises could be found. I am thinking, for example, of liberal Catholics and conservative evangelical Protestants who share similar views on the matter of abortion, but would have differing opinions relative to the notion of evolution. I have seen that sharing a similar view in one area leads both groups to be open to discussing views in another without succumbing to prejudice. When I do pray and meditate on the differing personalities of the apostles of Jesus, I wonder whether each ever thought the other to be crazy because the other did not share the same opinion. Peter and Paul certainly differed on the issue of gentile converts into the Christian community. At the Council of Jerusalem they were open and frank in their opinions, but I still think that each respected the other as a brother in the Lord. When we testify to being part of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church, we proclaim that not only are we world-wide, but also that there is a latitude in a number of matters relative to faith and practice. As St. Augustine said, “In essentials, uniformity; in non-essentials, unity; but in all things, charity.” Have a great week everyone! Love Fr. Dave

Baptism and Life

“Whoever is moved by love begins to perceive what “life” really is. He begins to perceive the meaning of the word of hope that we encountered in the Baptismal Rite: from faith I await “eternal life” - the true life which, whole and unthreatened, in all its fullness, is simply life. Jesus, who said that he had come so that we might have life and have it in its fullness, in abundance (cf. Jn 10:10), has also explained to us what “life” means: “this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (Jn 17:3). Life in its true sense is not something we have exclusively in or from ourselves: it is a relationship. And life in its totality is a relationship with him who is the source of life. If we are in relation with him who does not die, who is Life itself and Love itself, then we are in life. Then we ‘live’” – Pope Benedict XVI, Encyclical on Hope, November 30, 2007.

ABOUT LITURGY

Baptism & Epiphany: Epiphany originates in the Eastern Church where they celebrated both the birth of Jesus and his baptism on January 6 (their theology holds that Jesus was “manifested” or “given birth” by the announcement at his baptism that he is the beloved Son). By the late fourth century the Western Church had added this date to its liturgical calendar and celebrated three events, captured beautifully in the Magnificat antiphon for Epiphany: “Three mysteries mark this day: today the star leads the Magi to the infant Christ; today water is changed into wine for the wedding feast; today Christ wills to be baptized by John in the river Jordan to bring us salvation.” These three events link together the one identity and mission of Jesus. At Epiphany we read in the gospel how the magi are led by a star to the newborn King of the Jews; thus is Jesus manifested to all nations. Jesus’ identity is further revealed at his baptism where the heavens open and the voice of God announces Jesus as the beloved Son. This identity is further manifested in Jesus’ ministry to others – at his first miracle at Cana where he changes water into wine and saves the wedding couple embarrassment and in all his ministry when he reaches out to anyone in need.
