CONTINUING ADULT EDUCATION

The Church has had many great thinkers over the years, including St. Augustine in the 5th century and St. Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century. In our time, we have great thinkers too, one of whom is the Passionist priest Fr. Thomas Berry, 1914 – 2009. He introduced us to seeing God’s creation in a new way and our role as humans within it. He called it “The New Story”. Next fall on every other Tuesday evening and repeated every other Thursday morning, we will discuss his “New Story”, the wisdom that ensues and the challenge it evokes. We guarantee an interesting discussion! Watch for beginning dates in September.

Homily – June 22, 2014

Sunday, June 22nd, 2014

In November of 2013 Pope Francis wrote a letter to the church titled The Gospel of Joy. He said some very startling things. He said, ‘I want to remind priests that the confessional must not be a torture chamber but rather an encounter with the Lord’s mercy which spurs us on to do our best.’ Pope Francis said, ”I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.’

As regards this feast of Corpus Christ the Pope has this to say about Holy Communion, ‘it is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak. Before we receive Holy Communion we say ‘Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, say but the word and my soul shall be healed’ No one of us is worthy to receive the Body of Christ. Worthiness has nothing to do with our coming to receive Holy Communion. Need has everything to do with our coming to the priest or a minister of the Eucharist holding out an empty hand to show our neediness, our weaknesses and our struggles. The Body of Christ, the bread of life is a gift not a reward though I think that through the years we have been taught to see it as a reward for behaving ourselves. The Body of Christ is meant to nourish us, strengthen us, encourage us to get up and keep on trying when we know we have failed. When we walk up to receive the Body of Christ we are answering Christ’s call to all, ‘Come to me all you who labor and find life burdensome and I will refresh you.’ The Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.’

Different times in years past I would celebrate Mass for Sisters in their convent chapel. This was in the days when we all wore our religious habits. We all received Holy Communion on the tongue. When a sister received Holy Communion she would flip her veil over her head to keep out any distractions at this moment. She was to be alone with Jesus. This was a special time requiring peace and quiet. When you go back to your place after receiving Holy Communion you probably close your eyes and say your private prayers. You speak to Christ about your own or your family issues. You pray for family and friends who are ill or out of work. You’ll pray for harmony in the family. You may pray for family members and friends who feel it is no longer important to be with us here as we praise and thank God. In that short quiet time you place before the loving Christ the burdens of your life – trusting his promise ‘and I will refresh you.’

But there is far more to Holy Communion that Jesus and me. In the second reading Paul teaches us that our personal act of holding out an empty hand to receive the Body of Christ makes us one with every other person who has done the same. We who are many are one body for we all partake of the one bread. For Paul, receiving Holy Communion binds one not only to Christ but also to one another, to the entire Christian community . The Eucharist has a horizontal as well as a vertical direction. When we receive Holy Communion we are involved in the wellbeing of the Church and of the world, the Body of Christ.

The Body of Christ, the whole human family is plagued with so many problems. Social injustices, the exploitation and oppression of women and children, the unjust distribution of wealth, the human assault on the environment, the homeless and the hungry of our city and country, the effects of our consumerism on the health and wellbeing of Earth, the civil wars blighting so many countries, these too should be the things we bring to Christ when we receive him in Holy Communion, a conscious act that makes us one with the total Body of Christ. We may feel we cannot change the world but we can make every effort that the world does not change us. Pope Francis talks about the globalization of indifference – we tend to block out these harsh realities from our lives. This is not a good thing. These realities touch our lives too. We did not weave the web of life we are a strand in the web and what happens to the web happens to us and we should be conscious of wellbeing of the total web of life.

We’ll continue to celebrate this Mass as we celebrate Christ’s goodness and graciousness to us as he encourages each of us – this is my body, take and eat – this is my blood, take and drink.

Can we hear the Spirit? Do we want to?

The feast of Pentecost was a powerful transforming event in the life of our church. Frightened and uncertain disciples became bold proclaimers of the awesome truth that Jesus Christ is Lord and Redeemer.

Different men and women were blessed with different gifts which were to build up the community of believers. These gifts, however unspectacular, were not meant for the benefit of the individual but for the welfare of all. The gifts of the Spirit must not lead to individualism but to the building up of the corporate body of the community. The church is one body through a common baptism and a common “drinking of one Spirit.”

Pentecost was not a one shot deal. The Holy Spirit is still alive and active in the life of the church and in the life of each one of us. This will always be so. We see the action of the Spirit in the words, the example and the teachings of Pope Francis. We see the presence and the action of the Spirit in the lived lives of family, friends and neighbours in their ordinary acts of kindness and support they offer us each day. We see the action of the Spirit in the dedicated lives of those family members who care every day for aging mothers or fathers or who cope with a challenged son and daughter. We see the presence of the Spirit in those who work for social justice for all men and women. We see the presence of the Spirit in the work of those who show us the injustices of our times, the exploitation in the sweat shops of the world, the exploitation of migrant workers and challenge us to live simply that others may simply live. We see the love of the Spirit in the work of those who try to bring about a world of economic justice in which men, women and children will have their basic needs met and no one lives in poverty, hunger or homelessness. These are all Spirit filled men and women though they may not see themselves as such. They enable the work of the Holy Spirit in our time.

On this feast of Pentecost we sing, ’Send forth your Spirit O Lord and renew the face of the earth.’

Can we see and hear the work of the Spirit in the efforts of scholars and scientists who warn us about the consequences of our abuse and misuse of the resources of Earth? Recently someone jokingly asked me ‘how can you talk about global warming after the terrible winter we’ve just had’? It is not about global warming it is all about climate change and the ways that change will affect our lives for generations to come. There is not a day goes by when we don’t hear of droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy and constant rain falls, glacier melting, air pollution and many other indications that all it not well with Earth. It would take a miracle for business tycoons and political leaders to hear the Holy Spirit calling the human family to heal its relationship with the rest of Earth’s community. As Joni Mitchell sings – they pave paradise and put up a parking lot.’ Canada is becoming an oil barrel for the Chinese, the Japanese, Koreans and other nations who need our resources. Companies will make lots of money exploiting and exporting our unrenewable resources but at what cost to our land, our air, our water and us. Sure we’ll make a lot of money out of all this. The taxes we collect will or might provide us with social, educational and health programs but do we consider the long term cost to our children’s, children’s, children’s? You’ve heard this before, ‘Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth and what we do to the Earth we do to ourselves.’ When we pollute and diminish the beauty and richness of Earth we diminish and impoverish ourselves.

I spent last weekend out in Fort McMurray, the site of the Alberta oil sands. I attended a meeting at which the Athabasca and Chippewa Nations were trying to re-evaluate the treaties they made with the British, tricky treaties that were meant to last as long as the rivers flow. Many of these good people still live off the land, trapping, fishing and growing their own food. It is a life style and a world view far removed from our own. The impact the development of the oil sands is having on the health and quality of the air they breathe, the water they drink, the food and the fish they harvest is just beginning to be seen. I had an hour’s flight over the oil sands development. It is huge, it is amazing. Young people from all over the country find work there and make big money. It is a beehive of activity. Thousands of acres of forest have been peeled away to get to the oil sands. The sands are dug out twenty four hours a day, every day. We were told the oil companies will put it all back as it was before when they finished the mining. It’s taken thousands of years for these ecosystems to develop and we think we can duplicate it just like that. My trip to the oil sands was a learning experience.

On this feast of Pentecost let our prayer be; Send forth your Spirit O Lord and renew the face of the Earth. Send forth your Spirit O Lord and bless us with the gift of wonder and awe so that we might see in a new way the beauty of your creation and its fragility. Send forth your Spirit O Lord and help us realize we are one; we are family with every living being that shares Earth with us. Help us see that what we do to Earth we do to ourselves and those generations who follow us. Help us to be true stewards of your gift of Earth’s resources, may we develop these gifts wisely and justly for the benefit of all not just the wealth of a few. Give us insight to appreciate our need for a simpler life style, help us curb our consumerism. Help us to live simply that others may simply live.

We must know that the Spirit’s work of renewing the face of the earth must truly be our own. May the Holy Spirit gift us with the ability to be conscious of the environmental and ecological issues we live with and affect our wellbeing. Even in the smallest ways we can try to make a difference in the healing and enrichment of Earth. If not us, who? If not now, when?
