Have you ever had the experience of waiting and watching and praying as someone you love lay dying? They may have been in a coma or in and out of consciousness. You think every breath is their last but still they hand on. At last they slip away and it is over. If the person is conscious and somewhat alert his/her words are especially important. Often these last words express their love for the family, their concern that all will be well, ‘take care of your mother, take care of your father, and keep the family together’. Last words may be asking for forgiveness, understanding. But these final words are treasured, remembered and repeated by the person’s survivors.

The conversation of Jesus in today’s gospel took place around the time of the Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah as it is called today. In the year 164 BC the Maccabees revolted against the Greeks who occupied Palestine at that time. The Greeks had desecrated the Temple putting up a statue of Zeus in it. This was the abomination of desolation in this holy place. Judas Maccabeus ordered the building of a new altar and rededicated the Temple to the worship of the one true God. In the spirit of this historic event the Jewish people remember their heroes of old and hope that history might be repeated by a messiah who could rout the Romans occupiers.
In this week’s bulletin, an invitation to learn about Sacramentals, a workshop on conscious living, and a reminder to confirmation candidates to attend the confirmation retreat.
Founded by St. Paul of the Cross, every Passionist takes a special vow to spend his or her energies in promoting remembrance of the sufferings of Jesus, the memory of the Cross, and reflection of the meaning of the Cross for the world.
