Easter Sunday

Reflection

In the Easter Gospel, Mary of Magdala discovers the empty tomb, setting a scene of initial darkness that reflects uncertainty and sorrow. Her urgency to inform Peter and the beloved disciple triggers a race, illustrating diverse responses to faith's mysteries.

As they approach the tomb, the disciples' distinct reactions – one hesitating, the other boldly entering and believing – mirror the varied ways we at times grapple with divine truths. The passage ends with the acknowledgment that, at that moment, the disciples did not fully comprehend Jesus' resurrection. This mirrors the ongoing human struggle to grasp divine mysteries, celebrating Easter as a transformative light dispelling doubt.

In the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, Peter boldly proclaims Jesus' anointing, ministry, and resurrection. This proclamation bridges the uncertainty of the empty tomb to the conviction of a risen Christ. Peter emphasizes their role as witnesses, having shared meals with the risen Christ, underscoring the reality of the resurrection.

The complete picture of Easter – from the darkness of Christ's death, the confusion at the empty tomb, to the radiant proclamation of His resurrection – emerge from these two readings.

Prayer

As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection today and every Sunday, we embrace the transformative power of faith in the risen Christ and fills us with hope, charity, and love. Amen.

Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil)

Reflection

The liturgy of the Word for the Easter Vigil is proclaimed during the most solemn Eucharistic celebration in our Church calendar. Beginning with the ritual blessing of fire and proclaiming Christ our light, the darkness of sin is replaced by the brightness of Christ’s light represented by the paschal candle being carried to the altar. Through the liturgy of the Word salvation history is recounted as we remember God’s loving act of creation and his liberating relationship with his chosen people. All of this culminates in the waters of baptism as new members of our Church community are ritually welcomed into our communion through the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation the Eucharist.

As we enter into this multifaceted celebration, perhaps we can pray with the ritual symbols of fire, water, oil, bread and wine in which the ordinary become extraordinary within our celebration of faith. In the waters of baptism, we are freed from the bondage of sin and share not only in Christ’s death, but we are also promised a share in his resurrection. For on this holy night that is what we especially celebrate in a glorious way that the one who was crucified is now raised as we journey again with Mary Magdalene and the other disciples encountering our risen Lord.

Prayer

Lord God, as we enter the Easter season help us to encounter with joy your risen Son so that we might become bold proclaimers of his teachings in our daily lives. Amen.

Good Friday

Reflection

Superficially, the name “Good Friday” can seem wildly inappropriate for the day on which we commemorate the brutal murder and death of the One who came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). But then, the very Scriptures that we are given for our liturgical celebration are weighted with paradox and contradictions.

In John’s Passion, Jesus is presented as a king – “You say I am a king!”—fully in command of his own destiny in the midst of the injustices and cruelties brought against him: “You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above.”

But in Isaiah 52:13-53:12, we experience a kind of whiplash effect: See my servant shall prosper… because of him kings shall stand speechless.” And yet, “There was in him no stately bearing,… one of those from whom people hide their faces, spurned, and we held him in no esteem.”

Jesus’ power is precisely the power of the second person of the Holy Trinity: “if he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.” (Isaiah 53:10).

God so loves the world that in the person of Jesus he willing took – and still takes – the very worst that his fellow human beings could dish out to him, and he showed – and still shows – the triumphant and saving power of love.

Prayer

Jesus, thank you for giving me a share in your life through your sharing in mine. Paradoxically I see myself also in all who contributed to your passion and death. Forgive whatever suffering I may cause for your sisters and brothers – members of your body – in my own day, and grant that by your love all my suffering may be transformed into “good” suffering in union with yours, offered for the salvation of the world. Amen.

Holy Thursday

Reflection

This is my body; this is my blood; do this in memory of me. The gift and the mandate. "Our celebration on Holy Thursday shows us how to proclaim the meaning of the Lord’s gift to us. The Last Supper event in the gospel of John does not include the narrative that St. Paul gives us. In John’s narrative Jesus washes his disciples’ feet. By his action Jesus says, here I am as servant for you, do this in memory of me. In the ritual of Holy Thursday we need to enter into the experience Jesus washing our feet. We each need to feel the resistance of Peter. We need to taste our resistance, our independence, our rationalizing that we don’t need healing or saving. We have to let Jesus give himself to us, let him be our servant. In receiving this grace from Jesus we become more open to his mandate to Love one another as I have loved you. In receiving the very gift of himself, broken and poured out, we become empowered to give our very selves, to be broken and poured out in love for others. Holy Thursday teaches us that it is not enough to hear the gospel. We must allow it to change us.

Prayer

O God, help us make our lives the daily sacrament of love, the Eucharist. In him we meet each other anew and start over again. May our lives become always a return to and a sending forth from this sacrament. Amen.

Wednesday of Holy Week

Reflection

The Bible is a story of constant human failure. As such we are constantly prompted to see ourselves in the antagonists. We can relate to those who succumb to the pressure of the mob, or like the people referred to in the first reading, become angry in the face of truth. 

This approach fails us however when we are confronted with Judas’ betrayal. Unlike Peter’s failure which can be understood in the context of human weakness, Judas’s actions seem to defy all logic. How could someone who knew Jesus intimately, who witnessed his miracles firsthand, betray him for something as insignificant as money? 

Such a decision could only be made in the complete absence of a moral framework. We cannot relate to Judas because he recognizes no reality but the material, and no authority but his own. Jesus’ final remarks to his disciples remind us that Judas’ betrayal, although successful, is not the story of man’s victory over Christ, but Satan’s victory over the individual. 

In a way, Judas was ahead of his time given how thoroughly atheism has saturated our current culture. In a time when materialism is the accepted moral lens, and religion has been relegated to the realm of the uneducated, we have a greater responsibility to proclaim the existence of spiritual truths outside of just the religious setting. Christ will conquer death every time, but the story reminds us that some of us will choose death.

Prayer

We pray for all those battling against materialism and nihilism. Give us the strength to defend the spiritual in every domain of life. Amen.

Tuesday of Holy Week

Reflection

I cannot imagine that too many people get up in the morning and explicitly think to themselves, “I think I will betray someone today… I think I will hurt someone I love.” Few people would ever admit to doing such things on purpose, and yet, we are painfully aware that such hurt happens, and happens often. Jesus was aware of the pain of betrayal that was soon to come his way, even though the apostles denied that such a thing would ever be possible. In these hours Jesus had to bear alone the knowledge of what was soon to befall him, Jesus had to reflect on the nature of his ministry and mission, foretold from of old as the passage from Isaiah reminds us.

For our own selves, it is true that we often betray the Lord in the sense that we frequently sin in our lives and turn away from God. Sadly, we know that this is also true in our human relationships: we may not set out to intentionally do so, but the cliché often comes true that we always hurt the ones we love. Be this as it may, we are not doomed only to an existence of broken and fractured relationships. As Christ forgave Peter who denied him, Christ forgives all of us who seek him with a sincere heart. In turn, we are called to forgive – and seek forgiveness – in our human relationships, to keep lines of communication open, and to recognize the salvific power of connection and healing that we can absorb from the Lord’s example.

Prayer

Almighty ever-living God, grant us so to celebrate the mysteries of the Lord’s Passion that we may merit to receive your pardon, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Monday of Holy Week

Reflection

In John’s gospel we meet Jesus who has come from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Jesus knows that the praise and adulation of Palm Sunday will soon turn into the daunting shouts of Good Friday: Crucify Him! Crucify Him!

It’s no wonder then that Jesus seeks the comfort of his beloved friends at their home in Bethany. He comes once again to be with Lazarus whom he has raised from the dead, and Martha who has the gift of hospitality. And notably, he comes also to be with their sister Mary. We learn that Mary has listened at the feet of Jesus and been deeply transformed by his teachings.

In an abundance of love and grace, Mary pours out the gift of precious oil to anoint her beloved savior. In her action we see the prefiguring of the unmeasured love of Jesus which will be poured out upon the cross. Like Jesus, Mary of Bethany will not stop to count the cost of the love she gives.

Judas Iscariot is also present and calls Mary to task for not measuring the cost of what she has given. Jesus comes to Mary’s defense. He affirms the goodness of Mary’s outpouring and anticipates his own death and anointing. Mary has again chosen the better way.

In this household in Bethany we meet a full spectrum of those whom Jesus has called to himself. They offer models for us to reflect upon in our own spiritual journeys. They invite us to examine our own level of conversion to the teachings and will of Jesus. Is our conversion fulfilled as it is with Lazarus who has been called back to life? Do we struggle with conditions we create like Martha? Are we trapped by our selfishness and greed like Judas? Are we like the anxious crowd that wants to silence Jesus? Or like Mary of Bethany are we able to open our hearts to love Jesus without weighing the cost?

Prayer

Jesus, be a frequent guest in our homes. Open our hearts to be transformed by your words and your love. Prepare us in this holy week that we may stay awake with you in the garden at Gethsemane. Amen.

Passion Sunday

Reflection

“Christ Jesus… did not regard equality with God something to be exploited…”

When Pope Francis visited NYC in 2017, his mode of transportation was the lowly Fiat 500. (Oh, to be a fly on the wall when he got the secret service to agree to that!) Yet, Francis revealed the kind of intentionality Jesus showed entering Jerusalem on a donkey. For some it may seem like idiocy. Who in their right mind portrays grandeur riding on a donkey? A sleek, healthy horse; a big Mercedes, yes; but a donkey, or a wheelbarrow Fiat, never!

Today’s other readings follow suit. Isaiah suffers physical abuse, yet displays an unshakable faith in “the Lord God, [who] is my help.” Paul, to the Philippians, reflects on a Christ Jesus who takes the form of a slave, yet whose obedience is cause for our confessing him as “Lord, to the Glory of God.” Jesus’ humanity becomes a prism for seeing God, though he “did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.” 

In the Gospel passion narrative, one gets the sense that even if Jesus is not in control of all that surrounds him, nevertheless, he manifests the Spirit which causes the centurion observer to acknowledge, “Truly, this was the Son of God.” Despite the injustice meted out to him, Jesus is rooted in a faith in, and love for, the Father, such that no suffering, however terrible, could mask it.  

Prayer

Look, we pray, O Lord, on this your family, for whom our Lord, Jesus Christ did not hesitate to be delivered into the hands of the wicked, and submit to the agony of the Cross. Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Saturday of the Fifth Week

Reflection

“God wants a voice. I am a prophet for God.” Recently I saw these words written on a poster which a young woman was holding on the side of a very busy road. The following week I heard a sermon by Bishop Robert Barron entitled, “Listen to the Voice of God”. I got the very strong sense that God was trying to tell me something; to send me a message as I reflected on this Saturday’s Gospel. As high priest and prophet, was Caiaphas listening to the voice of God when he proclaimed his message that Jesus must be killed?

Because of Jesus’ growing popularity and threat to the political order, the Chief Priests and Pharisees looked to the Sanhedrin and Caiaphas for answers. As the high priest, Caiaphas “prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation….” Jesus must be killed. Although the message was clear, the objective of Caiaphas was to eliminate the threat of Jesus and to appease the population. He did not understand that his actions set into motion the Passion of Christ. Jesus would die on the cross for our salvation. In that sense, Caiaphas did not hear the voice of God, but the voice of the people.

How do we hear God’s voice and what is our response to God? When we hear God’s voice, do we really listen, or do we interpret his voice and thus his message to align with what we want to hear?

Prayer

Lord, help me to hear your voice and grant me the courage to act according to your will. Amen.

Friday of the Fifth Week

Reflection

The prophet Jeremiah was threatened  and persecuted by the Jewish priests and by his own friends, for sharing with them the messages he received from God. Still, he affirmed his faith in the Lord: "But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion. My persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion." He continued to say: "for to you I have entrusted my cause. Sing to the LORD, praise the LORD, For he has rescued the life of the poor from the power of the wicked!"

Jesus also faced scorn from the Pharisees, who wanted to stone him for blasphemy. The good works he performed didn't convince them of who He really was. He said to them"can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize and understand…The Father is me and I am in the Father."

We can benefit from the example of Jeremiah, believing in God's promises that He, our Lord, is with us in our trials, and as Jeremiah said, He is our champion, our warrior. By the example of the life of Jesus, we should reach out to help those whom he leads us to with compassion and good works, helping others and showing love and support as He did. We can count on Him to be there for us, as the responsorial psalm says: "In my distress I called upon the Lord, and he heard my voice. My God, my rock of refuge, my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold!"

Prayer

Lord, help me to listen for your voice. Show me how to see others as you do; to be kind, respectful and supportive to others. Help me to show love, care and compassion as you did, to everyone I meet. Amen.

Thursday of the Fifth Week

Reflection

As I place myself into today’s gospel, I focus on Jesus’ words: “Amen, Amen I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.” I muse to myself: “What can that possibly mean?” Jesus continues speaking to the Jews, describing how he knew Abraham. But now they begin to challenge his very sanity.  “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?  Who do you make yourself out to be?” To their confusion Jesus answered, “Before Abraham came to be, I AM.” Did Jesus have a life the Jews knew nothing about…a life outside the one he lived in this body they were preparing to stone? 

And now, a week before Holy Thursday, I find myself remembering the death of my own mother and sister, knowing how grounded they both were in His word and yet they are gone. I miss them, often wondering why they had to die so young. But I remember them daily and celebrate the love that exists (yes, exists in present tense) between us. And I realize that there are in a sense two deaths: the one that takes our body and the other that takes our spirit. Jesus was talking of the latter.  It reminds me of a conversation I had with my grandson who was missing his recently deceased great-grandfather, knowing he would never see him again.  Death is such a hard thing to explain to young children. But I found myself saying: “He will always love you because love doesn’t die.” Yes, it lives on forever “in those that hear God’s voice and harden not their hearts.”

Prayer

Lord, help me remember all those who have gone before me with gratitude for the love they shared and their continual presence in my life. Amen.

Wednesday of the Fifth Week

Reflection

Looking at something from a different perspective often invites criticism, attempts at shaming, blaming, and downright violence against that person for their stance.

This seems to happen almost regularly in today’s society, as it did in the time of rule by King Nebuchadnezzar. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, young Jewish men, were thrown into a white-hot furnace, because they refused to bow down and worship the king’s god / golden statue. There is no amount of discourse that can change this king’s mind. Obstinance.

However, we see the 3 boys’ faith. And we see Jesus showing up walking, perhaps even dancing (as I envision), in the fire alongside them. Let’s just say, after witnessing this, that the king TOTALLY changed his tune!

Again, we see the theme of closed-mind thinking in our second reading in the attitude of the Jews, as Jesus is teaching / enlightening about true freedom that they seem to not want to hear. I shiver to think what they are missing out on here! 

As we say, “It’s my way or the highway” - they’re not having it. I think it’s a larger comment on humanity: “Don’t give me any new information. I’ve already made up my mind.”  

We become slaves to our obstinance. 

But to actively listen? Is to learn; and to learn is to grow. 

Jesus implies here that anyone who chooses a dead ended life and stops growing, is in sin, and THAT is slavery.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, help me to have an open mind, to bend and flow, as a stalk of grass in the breeze, and a winding stream negotiating boulders, as I follow you: leading me to where I should go. And let me hear, respect, and love all other creatures along my way. Allow me to always grow into YOU. Amen.

Solemnity of Saint Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Reflection

Saint Joseph’s Day always falls in Lent, and has since first celebrated in the Middle Ages. The choice of the date of March 19 was likely related to the traditional dating of the Solemnity of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary on March 25. In any case, though, the Lenten context makes a point about this man’s selfless sanctity. Joseph was “just,” “righteous,” as the Gospel of Matthew describes him, with the meaning that Joseph devoutly observed the Law of Moses. But concerning Joseph’s betrothal to Mary, that Law caused Joseph a terrible dilemma. “Joseph was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame...” (Matthew 1:19). Joseph’s betrothed wife was pregnant, and not by him. The Law was clear: Joseph “the righteous” should repudiate her. But, no: that would expose her to public shame and harsh punishment. So, Joseph, led by mercy and the revelation which that mercy rewarded, chose beyond the requirements of the Law.

There is something almost subversive about this feast, about a justice defined by mercy. Isn’t that the way, though, that God fulfills God’s promises, always in surprising ways exceeding human expectation and boundaries? Who could have guessed the Messiah would be conceived by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary? That he would be brought into the line of David not by Joseph’s begetting but by Joseph’s faith? Today we are celebrating a feast which honors and invokes a carpenter from a backwater village in an insignificant corner of the Roman Empire, who turns out to be the foster father and guardian of God’s Son, and, as Patron of the Universal Church, our guardian, too. How surprising (and subversive) is that!

Prayer

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

Monday of the Fifth Week

Reflection

When Jesus admonishes the elders to have “he who is without sin” cast the first stone at the poor woman, he cuts to the heart of our lived experience: we are often quick to judge and castigate the behavior of others, while finding it difficult to be self-reflective regarding our own behavior. This admonishment of Jesus is a call to humility. Before we condemn the situations of others, are our own houses in order? And what if instead of lashing out at others from some misplaced perspective of moral supremacy, we made effort to understand their situations and circumstances and offer them a helping hand on their journey?

 

If Lent can be an opportune time for this inner growth and reflection, we may seek to expand the horizons of our journeys. Growth in understanding of self is a valuable thing, greater still may be using that newfound knowledge to place ourselves in the position of others to become a help to them, a support, an ally, a listening ear. It is easy enough to judge other people; why not change that impulse into one of care and understanding, seeking to learn, to accompany and to support, rather than only to attack or tear down? Healing of the self may yet become healing of the many.

Prayer

O God, by whose wondrous grace we are so enriched with every blessing, grant us so to pass from former ways to newness of life, that we may be made ready for the glory of the heavenly Kingdom, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Fifth Sunday of Lent

Reflection

We don’t often think that Jesus needed to become perfect, but this is what Hebrews suggests.  And the way to perfection for Jesus was through his obedience and suffering “Son though he was he learned obedience through what he suffered.”  As we near Holy Week we become more and more aware of Jesus’ suffering, Passion and death.  The Gospel contains John’s version of the Agony in the Garden, “Father I am troubled…save me from this hour.” Jesus knows that his death is imminent, and he gives a simple image for interpreting the meaning of his death, “the grain must fall into the ground and die.”  If the seed does not die there will be no fruit, no growth, no life. Suffering, for Jesus produces eternal life.

How often do we think of suffering as unfair, as something that we should not have to experience?  But growth can occur in us through our suffering.  We can learn obedience which literally means the ability to listen, not only to ourselves but to others.  We can hear others’ pain or longings and we too can become the grain that dies and brings forth life in another.

Prayer

Jeremiah promised that God would give us a new covenant, written in the heart. It is a relationship with a God who is with us in our joys and in our suffering.  Let us trust in that God of love as Jesus did. Amen.
