January 24th, 2016
I want to ask you a question. When I say the words ‘The church’ what image comes to your mind? The church. What do you think of?
For me the first image I get is of St. Peters in Rome. It is so wrong. The church is not buildings or structure or bureaucracy, the church is not the Pope or Bishops or Priests or Sisters. The church is you and me and every other baptized Catholic. We were church long before we were allowed to build places fit for the worship of God. We were church when people gathered in one another’s homes to celebrate the breaking of the bread and listen to the word of God and teachings of the Apostles.
Our second reading –Paul’s letter to the Corinthians was written at a time in the first century when the Christian community in Corinth was breaking into factions – I am of Paul, I am of Cephas, I am of Apollo. Paul was determined to challenge these divisions by his insistence that we all are of Christ and no one else. For Paul the church, the Christian community is all about men and women bound together by the Holy Spirit, it’s about men and women gifted in different ways for the common good of the community but especially the poor. To be the body of Christ means to be dependent upon Christ and subject to his Lordship.
We speak of the church as being holy. But the holiness of the body of Christ comes first of all from the holiness of Christ and then from the holiness of we the members of Christ’s body. That’s why we try to live this Mass in the lives we live, the work we do, the service we give and the prayers we pray, our ways of growing in Christ. We share in Christ’s holiness when we welcome our refugee families, when we support the Good Shepherd Centre and Rosalie Hall. The church is holy when we mend fences within our families and respect other people as they are.
We all know of the sexual abuse scandals that have damaged our church these past and present years. The crimes of priests and the cover up by bishops have wounded us all. When one member of the body suffers the whole body suffers.
Spiritual rugged individualism is not for Christians – we are family. That’s why we pray for and work for the re-union of all Christian communities.
Just as we should see our church as being made up of men, women and children forming one community of life, love and service so Pope Francis is asking us to see our relationship with Mother Earth in the same way. We human beings are one member of the whole communities of life on this planet. As I’ve said before ‘ we did not weave the web of life, we are a strand in the web, we depend on every other strand in this web and what we do to the web, be it for good or for ill we do to ourselves. Everything comes home to roost. The church is a community of life, love and service. As members of the human family we are called to live simply that others may simply live and work for the healing of our common home.
Pope Francis is asking us to see ourselves in that same relationship with Earth as we have in the church, a relationship of life, love and service. As in the church so as human beings we are kin, we are family.

Pope Francis declared the theme for January 17th, 2016, World Day of Migrants and Refugees to be “Migrants and Refugees Challenge Us. The Response of the Gospel of Mercy.”
Weeks later, Cardinal Thomas Collins established Project Hope in the Archdiocese of Toronto in response to the refugee crisis in the Middle East. Since then, we have established enough sponsorship committees to support 90 refugee families and raised more than $3.5 million to support newcomers in their first year of resettlement.
Cardinal Collins wrote: “This is a tremendous accomplishment and I thank all donors for this tangible demonstration of assistance for refugee families in great need. I also wish to express my profound thanks to the countless volunteers who have formed refugee settlement committees. Let us continue to pray for all those persecuted and displaced in so many parts of our world.”

January 10th, 2016
In the beginning of Luke’s gospel we hear that the people were filled with expectation. There was a feeling in the air that they were on the cusp of something new. There was a sense that the Messiah would soon be among them. Many thought John the Baptist was the expected one but he made it clear to all he was not the one. Someone would follow him and the people should accept him.
I think that for many Canadians today there is that same sense of expectancy. We are in for sunny days though realistically we know not all days will be sunny days. We are hopeful for a time of openness and co-operation among our politicians. We are hopeful that the peoples of our first nations will receive the respect and the justice that is their due. We are hopeful that our government will be more sensitive to the environmental crisis of our future survival. We are hopeful of a co-operative and open leadership. We are hopeful.
Last week we celebrated the Epiphany, Christ was manifested by a star. Today Christ is manifested, made known by the heavens opening above him and the Spirit of God descending upon him in the form of a dove and a voice claiming, ‘you are my Son, the Beloved, with you I am well pleased. The Holy Spirit anoints Jesus for his mission to open the eyes of the blind, to set captives free from the chains of sin, to set the downtrodden free and bring to all the good news of salvation.
Jesus, the sinless son of God had no need of baptism but he wanted to be identified with the people who came to John. Those people wanted to come closer to God and by letting themselves be immersed into the flowing waters they let go in their hearts and surrendered they lives to God and sought a new beginning in their friendship with God.
Today we can think back to our own baptisms. Can we get our heads around the fact that when each one of us was baptized the Holy Spirit was poured into our very being and that Spirit gives us the boldness and confidence to call God – Father/Mother. God is not some distant diety, God is not ‘the force’. Each one of us is a son, a daughter of our Father/ Mother. Isaiah asks the question,’can a mother forget her baby, or a woman the child with her womb? Yet even if these forget I will never forget you.
Our baptism is our birthing into a living and loving relationship with God. Can we get our heads around the wonder that God’s love for us is unmerited and unconditional. The fact is that nothing we can ever do can make God love us less and nothing we can ever do can ever stop God’s loving us. Our baptism is our invitation to put on Christ, to grow to full maturity in Christ. Baptism is not a one shot deal it is our first step in a life-long adventure to follow Jesus in such a way that at any time in our lives the Father can say of us what he said of Jesus at the Jordon, ’You are my beloved son, my beloved daughter, with you I am well pleased.’
Our life long project is to be as Christ -like as possible and that seems like an impossible task. And it is, if we are without the presence and help of Christ. As often as we try to an open and accepting of other people, as Christ always was then we are on the right track. As often as we are there for men and women in need – when we welcome the stranger, when we feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, support those who are depressed, in whatever form such people come into our lives, then we are putting on Christ, we are growing in Christ.
On this feast of the Baptism of Jesus we recall our own baptism and pray for the gift to live each day of our lives in such a way that the Father/Mother can say ‘you are my son, my daughter, my beloved, with you I am well pleased’. Realistically we know that some days we’ll win and other days we’ll lose but always we’ll keep on trying.
