Exposed Eucharist

August 3, 2008

                    Well I had the writing about the wreck and the child
                being killed. Last night as I was with others they turned
                on a TV show meant for children. Well I could cry — they
                were robot children that looked like real ones and they were
                on an assembly line — their head had a trap door and a
                brain was dropped in — two children that were real were
                looking for their parents who were tied to some electrodes
                and they showed the dad being shocked. I said I have to go because
                I can't watch this or I will have nightmares — so I excused
                myself. (I never hardly watch any television, so a little
                violence is really hard for me to take — this was
                horrible, I couldn't even watch and it was for children,
                on a children network.)

                    I went to bed and I had a dream — a baby was on
                my lap and across the hall was a gun aimed at the
                baby with a light coming closer and closer — I was sleeping
                and couldn't hardly talk, but I woke up trying to
                fight the sleep with the words — help me, help me, because
                the gun was aimed at the baby and nobody would help me —
                It lasted a while — the light got closer and closer and
                the man holding the gun never shot it — he and his gun
                with the light as I tried to say "help me, help me" —
                the man just kept getting closer with the gun aimed
                at the baby on my lap —

                    My writing the other day was about people in a
                car wreck and a child was killed, but all the people
                involved just thought about themselves and whether
                they were right — they were selfish —

                    I feel Mary has told us the peace plan for our
                children in the schools, consecration and for the family —
                the rosary — going to Church — receiving the sacraments,
                being baptized, praying for the priests, the Church and
                the world —

                    When I was a child there were 3 priests at our
                parish and most children in the schools went
                to daily Mass, instead of all the focus on sports
                and being so educated we were taken to Church
                to sing and pray and we had pictures of the
                Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart at home and
                calendars.

                    My mom died when I was 5, but we prayed the Family Rosary
                every day — I went to daily Mass most of my life —
                these were always the best years of my life when
                I went to Mass and confession and did adoration and
                prayed the rosary. The Sacred Heart picture was on
                our yearly calendar at home —

                    Television was just coming out when my mom died
                in 1952. We watched Bishop Sheen. Because we ignored
                Mary's message of Fatima, Mary the Queen of Peace — we
                suffered World War II —

                    Listen to Mary's message July 13, 1917 at Fatima

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

 July 13, 1917

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. ⁽¹²⁾

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." ⁽¹³⁾

                and the more I speak it — people focus on me — What prophet
                was not persecuted.

                    I want to publish a book of my brother's homilies now —
                they could change our lives and help us to know and love the
                Word so much — just a small book to get it through from
                the end of August to the end of the year. My brother has been
                a very active, holy priest for 44 years. Here is the first
                homily from this book. Reading this each week would help
                the scripture live in our lives. I also have a tremendous book
                of Fr. John's homilies — God called him and he has a tremendous
                vision of the Father's Plan —

From Fr. Joe's homilies, my brother

22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

                    We want priests on fire for Jesus, priests so in love
                with Jesus, that celebrate Mass praying to the Father,
                in union with Jesus in the Holy Spirit with all the angels
                and saints and the souls in purgatory so the people know the
                great gift of the Eucharist, the Church —

Matthew 18:15-20

'If your brother does something wrong, go and have it out with him alone, between your two selves. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you: whatever the misdemeanour, the evidence of two or three witnesses is required to sustain the charge. But if he refuses to listen to these, report it to the community; and if he refuses to listen to the community, treat him like a gentile or a tax collector.

'In truth I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

'In truth I tell you once again, if two of you on earth agree to ask anything at all, it will be granted to you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three meet in my name, I am there among them.'

INTRODUCTION - (Ezekiel 33, 7-9) (Romans 13, 8-10) (Matthew 18, 15-20) Our first reading takes us back six hundred years before Christ as God explains to his prophet Ezekiel his responsibility as a prophet. He must warn God’s people of their sinful ways or he will be held accountable. It is a prelude to the gospel where Jesus instructs his followers how to help each other stay on the right track. St. Paul’s teaching on love in our second reading reminds us that if we should try to correct one another it should be done out of love.


HOMILY - I happened to meet a lady this week carrying a little baby. I found out the baby’s name was Joseph. I thought: an appropriate name for a handsome little fellow! The encounter got me wondering what I was like when I was an infant and wouldn’t it be interesting to go back in time and experience what it was like to have to be fed and changed, to have to be carried around and cared for and to have to cry and scream when you needed something. When we came into this world, we were totally dependent on other people for our every need. As we grow to become more independent, we sometimes forget how in so many ways we will always remain dependent on others. Labor day is a good reminder that our existence is really a co-existence. How would we ever survive without farmers and electricians and car mechanics and trash collectors and bankers and doctors and the thousands of occupations and services we depend on in our complex society. The scenes from New Orleans and the gulf area we saw on TV this week remind us how dependent we are on others. While many people come to the aid of those suffering from the devastation, we are saddened to hear of people whose only value in life is their own self-interest and who readily take advantage of those who are vulnerable. Tragedies bring out the best and the worst in people. For Christians, St. Paul reminds us that love is the basic law. Love unites us and calls us to care for one another. His words also are good advice for those who let their credit cards get out of control: “owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another,” Paul tells us.

One area where we often forget that we always remain dependent on others is in our spiritual lives. So many these days decide they don’t need to go to church. They can pray on their own, they rationalize. I wonder how often they really do.

Our gospel today presupposes the need for a community of faith and that there be unity and harmony in the community. We can see that Jesus was giving guidelines to be followed in order to restore unity and harmony among the members of the community when there was serious disunity and sin. There is a three step process to follow: 1) Encourage the wrong doer and, tell that person they are doing wrong and not everyone else. Perhaps they can be brought back to the community. This was the job the prophet Ezekiel had to do for all the people of his day. It’s not an easy thing to do. I’ve been slammed down at times for trying to tell someone they’re not living like they should. 2) If that doesn’t work, Jesus gives us another procedure to try in order to build a bridge between a wrong doer and God’s people. He tells us gather two or three others to go with you to talk to the person. That is very similar to what we refer to today as intervention. I’ve done this with alcoholics who deny they have a problem. Family and loved ones come together and bombard them with their concern and their love and try to get the person to see they have a problem and they need to go into treatment. It can be very effective, but sometimes that doesn’t work either. 3) As a final step Jesus said get the entire community on your side.

At the end of his instruction about preserving unity and harmony in the community, Jesus teaches us about our need to pray with one another. Certainly we should pray on our own, but there is a unique power in praying with others. It’s like logs in a fireplace. One log has a hard time burning all by itself. But two or three together make a nice fire. Praying with others is something husbands and wives and children should do more of. It’s something we do every time we celebrate the Eucharist, the special prayer Jesus gave us at the Last Supper and which he told us to celebrate in his memory. The Church makes it a serious obligation to come to Mass each week lest we get lazy or too busy with too many things that we forget that he has asked us to gather in his name and in his memory.

In another place in his epistles St. Paul tells us “we are the body of Christ.” A body must be united for it to operate properly because all the parts depend on one another. We all depend on one another, not only for our material and emotional needs, but also for our spiritual needs. And that dependence doesn’t end at age 16 or 17 or 35 or 85. It continues on as long as we share in Christ’s life. For we are one body with him. I want to thank you all for coming today. Amen.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Mt. 16:21-17)
Cycle A
WORLD VS. CHRIST

    Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta came across a man lying in one of the gutters of the streets of Calcutta. No one dared to help him, for he was part of the lowest caste in Indian society. Many walked by without looking, some spat on him, and still others cursed him and kicked him as they walked by.

    Mother Teresa, with the help of her sisters, helped to lift him up out of the gutter. The man was near death, filled with sores, infested with lice and worms. She embraced him in her arms like Mary embraced Jesus at the foot of the cross as depicted so beautifully in the statue The Pieta.

    As Mother Teresa embraced this man, a passerby looked down upon her in disgust and said, “I wouldn’t do what you are doing for a million dollars!” Mother Teresa looked back at the man and said, “I wouldn’t do this for a million dollars either. I only do this for and to Christ!”

    Jesus today reminds Peter that he must not think like the world thinks, but as God thinks. To think otherwise, is to think in an evil or distorted manner. And so Jesus could say, “Get behind me Satan!”

    Mother Teresa of Calcutta perceived the world very differently than the man looking down upon her in disgust. She was perceiving reality through different eyes than the man with the negative comments. She was seeing the world through the eyes of Christ.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta had acquired what is known in spiritual theology as the spiritualization of the senses. She had developed mystical senses, whereby all of reality is seen though different lenses. As Galatians 2:20 explains, “It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me.” Mother Teresa was experiencing life with Christ, in Christ, and for Christ.

    Origen, one of the greatest ecclesiastical writers of the third century would say of these spiritual senses:

“Since Christ is a “fountain” and rivers of living water flow from him” (cf. Jn. 7:38), and since he is “bread” and gives “life,” it should not seem strange that he is also “nard” and “gives forth fragrance” and is the “ointment” (cf. Cant. 1:12) by which those who are anointed themselves become Christ, as it says in the Psalm: “Touch not my Christs” (Ps. 105:15). And perhaps, according to what the Apostle says, in those “who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil (cf. Heb. 5:14), each one of the senses of the soul becomes Christ. For that is why he is called the “true light” (cf. 1 Jn. 2:8) so that the souls might have eyes with which to be illumined; and why he is called the “Word” (cf. Jn. 1:1), that they might have ears with which to hear; and why he is called “bread of life” (cf. Jn. 6:35), that the souls might have a sense of taste with which to taste. So too is he called “ointment” or “nard” so that the soul’s sense of smell might receive the fragrance of the Word. And so too is he called perceivable, and touchable by hand, and the “Word became flesh” (cf. Jn. 1:14), so that the inner hand of the soul might be able to make contact with the Word of Life…. What do you think they will do when the Word of God takes over their hearing and sight and touch and taste? and when he gives to each of their senses the powers of which they are naturally capable? So that the eye, once able to see “his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father” (Jn.1:14), no longer wants to see anything else, nor the hearing want to hear anything other than the “Word of life” (1 Jn. 1:1)…, nor will the taste, once it has “tasted the goodness of the Word of God” (Heb. 6:5) and his flesh…(Jn. 6:33, 52-58), be willing to taste anything else after this…. For just as in the body there are different senses of tasting and seeing, so are there…divine faculties of perception.”

Saint John of the Cross explains this experience in the following manner in Ascent, Bk. I, Chs. 5, 7:

“[When one has reached the top of the mountain] the soul will be clothed in a new understanding of God in God (through removal of the old understanding) and in a new love of God in God, once the will is stripped of all the old cravings and satisfactions. And God will vest the soul with new knowledge when the other old ideas and images are cast aside (Col. 3:9). He causes all that is of the old self, the abilities of one’s natural being, to cease, and he attires all the faculties with new supernatural abilities.”

The spiritual writer, Carryll Houselander, in her book A Rocking-Horse Catholic, describes this seeing not as the world sees, but as God sees in the following manner.

“I was in an underground train, a crowded train in which all sorts of people jolted together, sitting and strap-hanging—workers of every description going home at the end of the day. Quite suddenly I saw with my mind, but as vividly as a wonderful picture, Christ in them all. But I saw more than that; not only was Christ in every one of them, living in them, dying in them, rejoicing in them, sorrowing in them—but because He was in them, and because they were here, the whole world was here too, here in this underground train; not only the world as it was at that moment, not only the people in all the countries of the world, but all those people who had lived in the past, and all those yet to come. I came out into the street and walked for a long time in the crowds. It was the same here, on every side, in every passer-by, everywhere—Christ.”

    This is without doubt a beautiful way to walk through life. But how do we reach this stage in the spiritual life? How are we able to see as God sees and not as the world sees?

    We begin by continually saying “yes” to God with an “open, soft, humble heart,” a heart so humble that one begins to see oneself the way one authentically is and the world the way it authentically is—the way Christ sees it.

    We are called to listen to God as he expresses his presence, handprint, and plan on creation.

    We are moved to respond to his grace-filled call to holiness which heals, elevates, and builds upon our human nature, thereby perfecting it, thereby making our “old self” into a “new self.”

    He has placed in us a conscience to be informed, an innate moral law to be listened to, virtues to be acquired and elevated by grace, pillars and doorways of holiness such as humility, mortification, detachment, surrender and trust, to be opened.

    He has gifted us with supernatural gifts such as faith, hope, and love. He has blessed us with the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, with the gifts of the spirit—knowledge, understanding, wisdom, counsel, piety, fortitude, and fear of the Lord—with the desire to live out the “Beatitudes” and the “Our Father,” the commandments, and the innate moral law through the love of God and neighbor.

    He has blessed us with the ability to engage in the spiritual battle against concupiscence—that inclination towards sin--and thereby to engage in the spiritual battle against the sins of life. He enables us to recognize not only our personal sins, but the communal nature of sin, and often the solidarity we engage in with regard to the realization of sin in society.

    We are called to engage in a life of prayer, and at times the “battle of prayer.” We are moved in grace to recognize prayer as a gift, a covenant, and a communion with God and one another.

    God calls us to vocalize our prayers, to meditate, to contemplate.

    We are called to bless in our human heart the one who is the source of every blessing, to adore the one worthy of all adoration, to petition God for our needs, to intercede for others, and to thank and praise him for all his glory.

    We are asked by God to immerse ourselves in the Sacraments, particularly the Eucharist, the source and summit of our faith, the source and summit of our nourishment for the journey, and in the Sacrament of Penance, for the Sacrament of Penance is the sacrament of self-awareness.
Spiritual growth is about perfecting ourselves, through grace, into the image of God. One cannot grow in perfection if one does not recognize imperfection! The more one makes use of the gifts of the Sacrament of Penance the more one becomes aware of one’s need for growth and how to go about accomplishing it. The more one makes use of the Sacrament of Penance the more one becomes aware of one’s blind sides and one’s predominant faults and inclinations.

    In an intense spiritual life, a life we are all asked to live, we begin to develop the gifts enabling us to discern the spirit of God from the spirit of the world and the flesh.

    Because God moves us toward happiness, he purges, illumines, and unites us to him.

    It is along this spiritual journey that we can become like Mother Teresa, like Origen, like Carryll Houselander! It is along this spiritual journey that we can become what Christ desires us to be!

    In a world that fails to see the image and presence of God in the embryo, the fetus, in the aborted child, we need to see more as Christ sees! In a world where divorce is rampant, contraception and the contraceptive mentality is a part of life, we need to see more as Christ sees! In a world where cloning and other forms of inappropriate genetic engineering and artificial reproduction abound, we need to see more as Christ sees! In a throw-away world, where the ill and old are euthanized, are thrown away, we need to see more as Christ sees! In a world where sexual promiscuity, homosexual acts, pedophilia, rape, and molestations of all sorts are daily news items, we need to see more as Christ sees! In a world that makes movie stars out of serial killers, we need to see more as Christ sees! In a world that fails to feed its hungry, cure its ill, provide adequate health care and financial security for its needy, we need to see more as Christ sees! Where war, torture, and the death penalty abound, we need to see more as Christ sees! Where workers’ rights, solidarity among nations and social justice is trampled upon, we need to see more as Christ sees!

    We have allowed Satan to dominate too long. We must address him and exclaim, “Be gone Satan! Get behind me Satan!”

O God may we see as you see, hear as you hear, feel as you feel, and experience life as you experienced it. In so doing we will find the power and the victory of our lives!

Twenty-third Sunday of Ordinary Time (Mt. 18:15-20)
Cycle A
EXCOMMUNICATION AND LOVE

    We as people often mistake unconditional love with unconditional acceptance. This misunderstanding has led to many tragedies. Unconditional acceptance leads people into a life of sin, a life based on lies—all under the guise of love.

    God, like a good parent, desires our good. And sometimes as a good parent he must chastise us and even punish us so that we may do what is right! True parents unconditionally love, but do not unconditionally accept.

    As a former schoolteacher, I remember two brothers who were well-known behavior problems. From grade one to grade twelve these two brothers caused their teachers more headaches and fear than one could imagine.

    The main reason for the problem was their parents. They had confused unconditional acceptance with unconditional love. Their children were never wrong. It was always the teachers who did not understand their children or were incompetent in their work. Year after year teachers were called into the principal’s office to address the parents’ concerns. This made teachers apprehensive in correcting these two brothers. No one likes to go to the principal’s office, even teachers! This led to the two brothers having free reign to do as they pleased. Teachers would often say to other teachers, “Wait till next year; you’ll have to deal with this family!”

    What happened to these two children when they grew into adulthood? One was shot and killed in a failed robbery attempt, the other died of a drug overdose in rehab!

    Unconditional acceptance is not love but a false sense of love. In fact it is cruelty, for to allow one to live a lie, to live in sin, is to ultimately promote the moral and psychological disintegration of the person.

    Unconditional love is based on absolute truth.

    Unconditional acceptance is built upon the fads of the modern era such as utilitarianism, relativism, and pragmaticism. Utilitarianism argues that love is that which produces the greatest pleasure over pain. Therefore, hedonism becomes the moral compass that people live their lives by. Relativism argues that what is true for you may not be true for me. Therefore, the concept of love is different for different people in different circumstances. There is no absolute truth. Pragmaticism argues that truth is based on the practical consequences of a belief. Therefore, love is dependent on practical, useful consequences and likewise not on an absolute truth. Truth and love simply become expressions of preferred consequences or inclinations. These philosophies build a culture built on political correctness, probabilities, convenience and personal preferences. In all these cases the individual becomes the determiner, the decider of truth!

    The fads of the modern era have eliminated absolute truth. Where there is no absolute truth, there is no God, and where there is no God and therefore absolute truth there can be no absolute love. The inevitable consequence of these fads, these modern era philosophies, is the loss of authentic unconditional love and its replacement with unconditional acceptance.

    How do we know where to find truth? We find truth in natural revelation and divine revelation.

    Natural revelation is expressed in Paul’s statement to the Romans (1:20): “since the creation of the world God’s invisible nature has been clearly seen in the things that have been made.” Natural revelation is based on the very nature of the world and the human person. Through the observation of movement, becoming, contingency, the world’s order and beauty, the nature of conscience and the quest for happiness, one can come to a knowledge of God as the origin and end, the first principle and final end of all realities.

    Divine revelation is found in the Sacred Scriptures, Sacred Tradition—as properly interpreted by the successors of the apostles, the magisterium.

    The Gospel today teaches us how true love is to be exercised. After many attempts to bring a loved one back to the truth, if one continues to refuse, the Bible teaches us to “treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector,” for “whatever the [Church] binds on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever the [Church] shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” In other words, one is to excommunicate the unrepentant person.

    Protecting the souls of the faithful is at the heart of excommunication. Paul reminds the Corinthians to “purge the evil from [their] midst” (5:13) and to “deliver [the unrepentant evil one] to Satan for the destruction of [their] flesh” (5:5). In his second letter to the Thessalonians the community is reminded to “shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us” (3:6), and “if anyone does not obey our word…take note of this person so as not to associate with him” (3:14). In 1 Timothy we read how Hymenaeus and Alexander have been “handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme” (1:20). And in Titus 3:10f we read: “After a first and second warning, break off contact with a heretic, realizing that such a person is perverted and sinful and stands self-condemned” (11).

    From first appearances, the idea of excommunication may seem cruel, but quite the contrary is true. Excommunication is the Church’s way of warning people about their eternal destiny. It is a way of warning people of the consequences of their actions. In a sense, it is the Church’s manner of shaking a person and saying, “wake up, you’re headed for disaster.” Excommunication is a loving call to holiness of life, a call to come home into the heart of the Church, a call to avoid the pitfalls of disaster.

    God, like a good parent, desires our good. And sometimes as a good parent he must chastise us and even punish us so that we may do what is right! True parents unconditionally love, but do not unconditionally accept.

    Today God teaches us this reality.

                    ON FIRE FOR THE WORD OF GOD

                    The Word and the Eucharist is the Bread of Life

Deuteronomy 8: 2-3

Remember the long road by which Yahweh your God led you for forty years in the desert, to humble you, to test you and know your inmost heart -- whether you would keep his commandments or not. He humbled you, he made you feel hunger, he fed you with manna which neither you nor your ancestors had ever known, to make you understand that human beings live not on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of Yahweh. 

 

Today's Mass

Isaiah 55: 1-3

 

Oh, come to the water 
    all you who are thirsty; 
though you have no money, come! 
Buy and eat; come, buy wine and milk 
without money, free! 
Why spend money on what cannot nourish 
and your wages on what fails to satisfy? 
Listen carefully to me, 
and you will have good things to eat 
and rich food to enjoy. 
Pay attention, come to me; 
listen, and you will live. 

I shall make an everlasting covenant 
    with you 
in fulfilment of the favours 
    promised to David.

                    Please help us — we must do what Mary said at Fatima,
                spread the Consecration for peace in the world — Bishops and
                Archbishops spread the Consecration in their dioceses and consecrate
                their dioceses to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

1 Corinthians 15: 20-27

    In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him.

     

                    Please help me.

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

                Please I beg you to help us

August 13, 1917

"Because of the excitement caused by the apparitions, the civil authorities were so alarmed that they kidnapped the three young visionaries and put them in jail. The incarceration period included the day of August 13. Consequently, Our Lady did not appear to the children on this particular 13th. The authorities, fearing reaction on the part of the people, quickly released the children. (from The Spirituality of Fatima)
