19th and 20th Sundays of Ordinary TimeAugust 9, 2015August 16, 2015

DEAR FRIENDS,As many of you know, since 2010 I have been at-tending the Summer Institute at the Boston Col-lege School of Theology and Ministry (“STM”), working toward a M.A. degree in Pastoral Minis-try. I have always found the classes there to be both intellectually and spiritually stimulating, and this summer was no exception. I would like to share a reflection on my summer experience with you.

My course work actually began in May, with an on-line course with a complicated title: Adult Believ-ers in a Post-Modern Context. The title might have been complicated but the goal was not: how to generate dialogue among 21st century adults in a way that promotes learning. We learned a bit about Robert Kegan’s stages of developmental learning for adults, with a view toward adapting it to a ministerial context that would be workable in today’s complex world and encourage transforma-tive learning. What I learned in this class about creating a space for learning, and teaching in a way that affirms and inspires made me so appre-ciative of our Generations of Faith (“GOF”) Design Team - I even wrote my final essay about Bill Costello, who is the presenter for our adult GOF group!

In late June I began weekly journeys to the Brigh-ton campus for more traditional classroom learn-

ing. Arriving on campus the first thing I noticed was, of course, the construction noise; summertime on a college campus--it can’t be avoided. This summer was very striking, as construction on the Brighton Campus, the former site of the Chancery for the Archdiocese of Boston, involved the former Cardinals’ residence on Commonwealth Ave. The residence is being renovated and converted into a University Conference Center as well as the new home of the McMullen Art Museum.

Once a week for the six weeks of the Summer In-stitute, I took a class called Spiritual Formation for Ministry. This class is required for all degree stu-dents at the STM to provide a framework to get in touch with one’s own sense of spirituality to pre-pare for work in pastoral ministry. Personally I found it very interesting to focus on my own spiri-tuality, having spent so much time worrying about who was ready for Confirmation or First Commun-

ion! In our second session we met at the Memorial Labyrinth, which is dedicated to the 22 BC alumni who were lost on Sept 11. Walking the labyrith is a contemplative, reflective exercise. We were ad-vised not to think about anything in particular, just to be in the sacred space and be attentive to thoughts that emerge from the silence.

I also spent a few afternoons completing the re-quirements for my year-long Contextual Education project. This class had begun last year, was com-pleted in conjunction with my work here at Incar-nation and involved social justice initiatives here at the parish. My offsite supervisor for this class was Mary Driscoll, who is the Campus Minister at Mal-den Catholic. It was a special joy to get to know Mary over these last several months, and I so ap-preciated her input and guidance. During the year this class met remotely through Adobe Connect. Last week we had a chance to meet in person and debrief our experiences.

My last class was a two week marathon, conducted by one of the many great theologians that Boston College is lucky enough to have on faculty, Rev. Ken Himes, OFM. His class on Moral Dimension of the Christian Life was incredibly informative and formative, as well as entertaining; one of those classes where you sit for three hours taking notes and never once look at the clock! I am still process-ing all that I learned in this class, as well as still

writing my take-home final as of the time this bul-letin goes to print!

Thanks so much for the chance to share this with you, and for the support provided by the parish for this endeavor. If all goes according to plan I will write my thesis over the winter and finish up next summer. I leave now for a vacation at the Cape, but not before emailing the exam!

Happy rest of summer and don’t forget to register for GOF!

NINETEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIMEAUGUST 9, 2015Taking Care of UsIt was in the land ruled by Jezebel. Elijah had just come from a dangerous showdown with 450 prophets of the god called Baal. The God of Israel easily won this encounter,* but Elijah progressed into doing great violence against the surviving prophets anyway. Queen Jezebel, understandably enraged, sent a message that she would do the same thing to Elijah and more within that same day.

Elijah was frightened, exhausted and dispirited, especially when he came back to find the Israelites themselves being unfaithful to the only true God. Elijah became depressed in spite of his great tri-umph. So he prayed to God to give immediate death to his worthless self. Then—as depressed people will sometimes do—he went to sleep. He lay under a broom tree (a tall hedge that desert people used to shield themselves from the sun in the day and the wind at night).

God could have been harsh to Elijah as a result of his depressed prayer. But instead, a quiet touch from God’s angel awakened the prophet. The angel whispered, “get up and eat.” Lo and behold, “there at his head was a hearth cake and a jug of water.”

Elijah did eat and drink, but then he settled right back to sleep again. The angel whispered tenderly, “Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” Elijah did and was strengthened.

We are witnessing a mother’s care, giving food to the discouraged child (First Reading).The other readings are all about God’s kindness to too, his goodness even in small things. The Re-sponsorial Psalm invites us to share in it: “Taste and see the goodness of the Lord. … I sought the

Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”

In the Gospel, Jesus offers nourishment too, but this time the provisions are for a very long journey indeed: eternal life. The people listening (called by John, “the Jews”) will not have a bit of it. They ar-gue among themselves, ridiculing his silly offer of miraculous food. They “murmur” that they knew his parents, which made him just a local boy acting crazy. Jesus ordered them to stop grousing and lis-ten. He made the same comparison that we saw last week, between manna that came down from heaven in the desert and himself, “the living bread that came down from heaven.”

Jesus as living bread is a bit difficult to understand. But leave that aside for a moment and just concen-trate on the deliberate kindness God shows to his people: feeding them, giving them drink, pursuing them again and again in order to offer the greatest gift of all, God’s sacrificial love for us. God follows us quietly, gently.

How can we respond? Receiving the living bread in Communion is a beginning. Reflecting on the mellowness of God is another. And simply slowing down, stopping running away and instead letting the Lord find us. God’s kindhearted and also tough love is quite worth the struggle. God is the one who will send us into the world (if he can catch us!).

Here is how Paul puts it in the Second Reading.

Be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma.

John Foley, SJ________________* The word Baal is ordinarily pronounced to rhyme with the word “pale.”Elijah himself arranged a contest between the god of Ahab, called Baal, and the one true God. He had the Baal

prophets arrange a sacrifice for the burning of a young bull, but he would not allow them to light the fire. Baal himself should do this. They agreed and for much of the day they carried on with incantations, calling out to their god, hopping around, and even slashing themselves with swords, but nothing at all happened. “There was not a sound; no one answered, and no one was listen-ing” (I Kings 18:29). Elijah taunted them with the fa-mous lines, “Call louder, for he is a god and may be meditating, or may have retired, or may be on a journey. Perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” (Or as elsewhere in the bible, maybe he has “turned aside” to relieve himself.) Elijah then arranged an exactly similar sacrifice, this time to the God of Israel, He was so sure of God that he doused the wood with jar after jar of water. Then, after a short prayer, the wood burst into flames (I Kings 18:21-40). The Baalite people threw themselves to the ground and worshipped the God of Israel. But Elijah had the prophets killed.

TWENTIETH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIMEAUGUST 16, 2015

What Do You Want?Do you remember the last time you were thirsty? How your mouth felt dry and brittle? If you were

near to a stream maybe you buried your face in flowing water and drank to your heart’s content. Bodies can only go on a short, short time in thirst before it must be assuaged.

And give a thought to hunger. Most people reading this will never have experienced true wrenching hungriness, the kind common in parts of Africa and Asia. We all know that our stomach cannot remain empty forever—our bodies demand energy.

There are other longings in us too, as the following poignant, anonymous poem from the 16th century illustrates:

O Western wind, when wilt thou blowThat the small rain down can rain?Christ, if my love were in my arms,And I in my bed again.

Even now my heart is moved, reading this. How can four short lines express such complete, aching desire, deprivation and yearning? Spend just a few moments with this poem and you will feel it. Long-ing for warmth, sleep, sun, rain, the seasons, and most of all, for love.

Fact is, we are small beings. We maintain our equi-librium only by precarious balancing of need and fulfillment. Our small existence is rationed out to us second by second, never all at once. What would it be like to have every moment of your whole life present right now? Impossible to imag-ine, you say. That is why God portions out our lives one day at a time, one minute, one nano-second.

What is my point?

Underneath all these hopes and wants and desires, mingling with them, and undergirding all of them, there nestles quietly the desire for God.Every human being is blest with that longing, and God is the only one who can quench this deepest

thirst, the only one whose love can create us and keep us. We want the beloved one, the one whose arms hold us gently in safety throughout the dan-gers. We yearn for this as we trace our way through time.

Sometimes you and I use substitutes as an escape from such a desire. Intellectualism. Fast living. Fast food, fast cars, more convenience, more comfort, unrestricted sexual fulfillment (without responsi-bility), and the “right” of complete freedom to do whatever we want to do, whenever we want to do it—if we can remember what it was we wanted.

In the First Reading wisdom says, “Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed! For-sake foolishness that you may live.” Stop thinking that your life will ever make sense if you fill it with piles of stuff and forget the one thing you need the most: closeness to God and closeness through God to everyone and everything else.

In the Gospel Jesus gives us ultimate food and drink. It is actually the most simple gift of all: bread that is his body and drink that is his blood, poured out for us.

We need to calm down and receive peacefully this body and blood of Christ into our own fleshly selves. That way we can allow our realest hunger and thirst at Sunday Mass—not instead of the other needs, but undergirding them. We eat the bread which Christ calls “true food,” the blood which he makes “true drink.” These nourish the moment-by-moment course of our lives.

If we let them.
