Homily – November 22, 2015

Saturday, November 21st, 2015

This feast of Christ the King is of recent vintage in the life of the church. Pope Pius XI instituted the feast in 1925. It was his reaction to the growing nationalism spreading throughout Europe, a nationalism that eventually led to World War 2 in Sept. of 1939. In 1925 Pius XI was still known as the prison of the Vatican. The independent Vatican State was not established until 1929. But nationalism was on the rise and to put nationalism into perspective Pope Pius gave us this feast, the full title of which is, Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

The humiliated Jesus standing before Pilate dressed in mock purple and wearing his painful crown of thorns made it clear he was not interested in worldly power, his was no threat to Roman Authority – his kingdom was not of this world. His kingdom is a reign over the minds and hearts of all people.

In his letter to the Philippians St. Paul tells us that Jesus didn’t see his equality with God as something to be exploited and so he emptied himself taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness and being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death on the cross –therefore God highly exalted him and gave him a name above every other name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue should confess Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.’

This is what we celebrate in this feast, the diminish, mocked and humiliated king of the Jews who stood before Pilate now glorified in the presence of his Father, now recognized as King of the Universe.

Jesus does not reject the title king, but neither does he accept the ordinary political implications of the title. His is another kind of kingship entirely. And his authority derives its power from a source other than this world.

The Kingdom of God is a time and an opportunity. The kingdom of God becomes real whenever anyone of us provides food for hungry people, the kingdom of God becomes real whenever we support those who offer shelter to a homeless person, the kingdom of God becomes real when we support and welcome refugee families to Canada. The kingdom of God becomes real whenever we care for a neglected person. The kingdom of God becomes real whenever we work for social justice for those men and women and children who live below the poverty line. The kingdom of God becomes real whenever we as individuals join in the struggle to overcome poverty, to erase ignorance, to pass on the faith. The kingdom of God becomes real when we form a personal mind set and life style to live simply that others may simply live. The kingdom of God becomes real when we forgive past hurts and bring peace into our homes and families.

In Preface of today’s feast we acknowledge that Christ’s kingdom is to be a universal kingdom of truth and life, of holiness and grace, justice, love and peace. Whenever these are forces in our lives then we are living in Christ’s kingdom. So we pray daily…..

Thy kingdom come, thy kingdom come.

Homily – November 15, 2015

Sunday, November 15th, 2015

A few weeks ago an elderly lady spoke to me after Mass. She wanted to know if I believed in the ‘end times’. She’d been on a pilgrimage to Lourdes and this priest kept talking about the end times. I think such talk really upset her, as if the ‘end times’ were just around the corner. I quoted today’s gospel to her about ‘no one knows the day or the hour’ but I don’t think that satisfied her that much.

How many times have good people thought that the end times are happening to them? The death of a spouse or a child, the news of a malignant tumor, the breakup of a marriage, the loss of a job, the discovery that a son or daughter is hooked on drugs – any one of these realities can take the life out of a person, life will never be the same – for them it is the end.

Imagine what life must be like for the hundreds of thousands of men, women and children fleeing the war and turmoil ravaging the Middle East. Their old securities of home, family, schooling and work are gone. Their normal worlds are collapsing around them. Their futures are up for grabs. They are experiencing the end times of their normal lives.

Today’s scripture uses a literary way of saying things that springs from a rich imagination.

It is called apocalyptic writing, a distinctive branch of Biblical literature. They usually feature visions or dreams revealed to the writer, predictions of the future, using fantastic imagery, mystical symbols, and predictions of the end of the age. What we read in the Book of Daniel and the gospel of Mark are words of proclamation and assurance, believe or not they are words of hope and the promise of a better future. These words tell us that human history will not end without the universal human recognition of Jesus Christ as all humanity’s Lord and Savior.

Looking at the world around us with all its wars and destruction, with its racial and religious intolerance, its assault and exploitation of the life systems of Earth we see little sign of that point in human history where we all see Jesus as the Lord of our common human destiny. As the saying goes, ‘don’t hold your breath.’

Let’s face it, the end times will happen to us all, not only to each of us in facing our own death, but to all of us together as our generation passes into the mist of a disappearing age making way for a new generation.

Maybe we could hear these scripture readings not so much a warning about the end of the world but as a commentary on how we can live life in our world today. This day, this moment, this life, is our time to bear the fruit. As the saying goes ‘seize the day’ make the most of today. Today calls us to love and evoke love, no matter where we may be, from nursing home to classroom, work place. Today we can receive with full heart the gift of Christ’s once-and-for-all redemptive act of giving his life on the cross for each one of us. Today we are invited to sing, with the psalmist: “For you are my God, you alone are my joy. Defend me, O Lord.” Today we can open our lives to the grace and growth that each moment, each breath, each encounters with another person offers us. Today is filled with possibilities.

Since we do not know the hour or the day, let this be the hour, let this be the day, let this be the time that we live and die.

AN ADVENT EVENING OF REFLECTION

“Truth and Reconciliation: An Opportunity for All Canada”

November 25, 2015 (Wednesday), 7:30 pm, at St Gabriel’s

Bishop Mark MacDonald, the first National Indigenous Bishop of the Anglican Church of Canada, will be the speaker for the evening. As we prepare for Christmas, the season of Advent asks us to focus on how Jesus, the God who dwelled among us, brings light and hope in darkness and suffering. Last May, the Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada brought to light the suffering and pain of our Aboriginal brothers and sisters in Canada, and suggested paths for moving forward towards reconciliation. Advent seems to be the right season to reflect on how we can move towards reconciliation in our own lives, as well as on how we, as a country, can work towards reconciliation, especially with our First Nations peoples.

Educated in both Canada and the U.S., Bishop MacDonald has had a long and varied ministry in different dioceses in both countries. He has published widely in areas of faith and environment, and inter-cultural ministry, including ministries to Native American youth. He is also a Third Order Franciscan.

We are most privileged to have Bishop MacDonald coming to our parish to speak about the suffering and pain that the indigenous peoples have experienced, and to shed light on a path of reconciliation on which all Canadians can embrace together in solidarity, equality, and mutual respect. It is an opportunity not to be missed, please mark your calendar and join us for the evening.

To facilitate our planning, please let us know if you plan to attend. You can call the Parish Office (416) 221-8866 or email Fatima Lee at fatimalee@bellnet.ca.

NOVEMBER IS THE MONTH OF ALL SOULS

Homily – November 8, 2015

Sunday, November 8th, 2015

Wednesday is Remembrance Day. At the 11th hour on the 11th day on the 11th month we stop for a minutes silence to honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives for us.

I saw a video that was played several times on Remembrance Day. The scene was of a takeout counter in a supermarket. An announcement had just come over the public address system that at the sound of the bell all customers are asked to observe a minute silence. A young girl was handling the cash. She’d just finished serving a customer when the bell rang and she bowed her head. A man in a hurry – aren’t we all – put his groceries in front her and started to make a scene because she wasn’t ringing him through. He totally embarrassed her but she wouldn’t pudge. He was completely oblivious as to what was going on. His little daughter was trying to calm him down but he ignored her. The looks of the other customers could kill. How can this idiot be so ignorant? All through this pictures were shown of scenes from battlefield and a song titled – it’s only a smidgen of time was sung in the background. The message was, are we so busy, so important that we can’t take a minute to stop and think of and pray for those who gave their lives for us? Why can’t we spare a smidgen of time?

This song and that scene came to me when I read about the widow’s mite. Her temple offering was a smidgen compared the big donations of the rich and famous of the temples congregation. But Christ praised her – what some called her irresponsible generosity. She needed those coins for her own wellbeing.

There is a notice in this Sunday’s bulletin about your efforts to bring refugee families to Canada. Fr. Brando was telling me about you generous response to this effort. Check the bulletin to see the results. There are few big donations but most of the money is made up of what might be called ‘widow’s mites’ coming from a cross section of the parish. You are wonderful enough to take a smidgen of time to think of the thousands of men, women and children who are living in desperate situations and are doing your best to help these total strangers.

There are so many occasions when we are offered to take a smidgen of time and be aware of another person’s needs. In that smidgen of time we can offer our ‘widow’s mite’ to a friend or a total stranger. A kind word spoken to the person at the take out counter, holding the door open for a person, letting someone in in traffic, a phone call, a get well card, a smile, asking someone how they are doing, all these acts of random kindness can lift up a friend or a strangers spirits. They are like the widow’s mite that enriches the treasuries of other people’s lives.

I had an appointment at Sunnybrook last Thursday. I parked the car and started to walk to the front door. I don’t know what happened but I started to lose my balance and reached out to grab a railing before falling flat on my face. Luckily I made it. A woman was just getting into her car and saw my distress. She was right there for me. She told me to hang on to the railing and then hurried to the hospital entrance to get a wheelchair. She wheeled me into the hospital and handed me over to a volunteer and then she was gone. I don’t know who she was, I have no idea why she was at the hospital but she certainly made a difference in my life that morning.

A smidgen of time, a widow’s mite. As we continue to celebrate our Mass may we pray for ourselves and for each other that we take a smidgen of time to be grateful for the blessing of our own lives and conscious of the needs of others and may we be willing to give our widow’s mite to friend of stranger and make even a small difference in their lives, remembering the words of Jesus,’ In so far as you did these things to others you did them to me.’

LEST WE FORGET

November 11th is Remembrance Day, a day to remember all who have served, and continue serving in our armed forces, especially those who have died and those wounded in battle. We pray for healing and peace; that one day, all peoples will lay down their arms and embrace one another as brothers and sisters in one human family.

FROM THE DESK OF FR. BRANDO

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

As previously reported, our Parish has decided to sponsor another refugee family in addition to the prior commitment to sponsor an Iraqi Christian family. The anticipated costs for these two sponsorships are $35,000 and $11,000 respectively, a total of $46,000.

FIRST GOOD NEWS!

We have been advised that our new refugee family, a mother, father and two young children, has been identified and is expected to arrive in Toronto in the next six months.

SECOND GOOD NEWS!

Prior to last weekend, you good people had already contributed $21,425 to the refugee sponsorship fund. Last weekend, an additional $27,221 was received, bringing the total sponsorship fund received to date to $48,646.
This result should be no surprise – St. Gabriel’s parishioners have always responded when a genuine need is apparent.

I thank you very much!
Fr. Brando
