<p>Today, the first day of Advent, I discovered someone new quiet unexpectedly. I made my discovery browsing the blog of <a href="http://dartonlongmanandtodd.blogspot.co.uk/">Darton, Longman, and Todd</a>. The name of the person whose writing I discovered is Christian Bobin (see <a href="http://dartonlongmanandtodd.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/get-moving-jonah-im-waiting.html">'Get Moving, Jonah, I'm Waiting'</a>). At the bottom of this post, which features an excerpt from a recently translated anthology of Bobin's writings, <a href="http://christianbobin.com/the-eighth-day"><i>The Eighth Day</i></a>, I found a link: <a href="http://christianbobin.com/">www.christianbobin.com</a>. When you go to the link there is a single selection: ENTER. Upon entering you are immediately connected to the page "About Christian Bobin." <br /><br />Recently my wife and I have been watching the Welsh television program <a href="http://www.sky.com/tv/show/stella">"Stella."</a> The show takes place in the fictional Welsh town of Pontyberry, located in the not fictional Welsh valleys. At least to me, the show is about the power and importance of place. Some people are rootless, others very rooted. I fall somewhere in between, but definitely lean far more towards being rooted. Rootedness is what I found when reading about Christian Bobin: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9v3ZqmnuG1g/VluLhfglO9I/AAAAAAAAIiw/E8gbe905_bc/s1600/christian-bobin_259.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9v3ZqmnuG1g/VluLhfglO9I/AAAAAAAAIiw/E8gbe905_bc/s400/christian-bobin_259.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Christian Bobin</b></span></div> <blockquote>Christian Bobin was born in 1951 in Le Creusot, a town in Burgundy with a long industrial history, and has spent his life there or in its deeply rural surroundings. He studied philosophy at Dijon, was employed variously at the public library in Autun, the industrial heritage museum at Le Creusot, and as a student psychiatric nurse. He began writing in his twenties and soon found a committed public, which has allowed him the luxury of an eventless life in a land ‘whose borders are defended by boredom; whose speech is “a language without desire”, whose time is a stopped clock, where the self waits without waiting, like “a hive emptied of its bees”'</blockquote> It is also noted on this page that Bobin's books sell in France "in quietly astonishing numbers." <br /><br />In my heart of hearts, for as long as I can remember, I have longed for the luxury of an eventless life along the lines of what is described on Bobin's "About" page. But somehow events keep catching me. I suppose my purpose this Advent, then, is to wait in until it no longer seems like waiting. <br /><br />Doesn't waiting constitute most of history and most of our lives? Let's be honest, doesn't it sometimes seem like we're waiting for Godot, or who knows what? But reading this short blurb about Christian Bobin made me <a href="http://scottdodge.blogspot.com/2015/06/nostalgia-suffering-to-return_26.html">nostalgic</a>. Without a doubt I shall read <i>Eighth Day</i>. <br /><br />A short excerpt from the excerpt, which is about Jonah, two ten year-old girls walking in the wind in a modern wasteland, and the forces that laid the land waste: <blockquote>While he’s in the whale Jonah sings, there’s nothing to do except sing in the dark, the cavernous belly of the dark, in the end he says right, you win, I give in, I’ll go there, I’ll tell these people of your anger and their doom</blockquote>

<div class="itemdescription">
<p>St. Andrew’s feast falls on November 30, which means it is either right before or right after the first Sunday of Advent. Dom Prosper Guéranger reminds us that Andrew is the apostle of the Cross; therefore, Dom Guéranger notes, the Christian year begins and ends in a sense with the Cross. Of course, Andrew was martyred by crucifixion at Patras in Greece</p>
<p>Dom Guéranger also notes that Andrew has inspired devotion throughout the Church. He quotes two sequences, including one by Adam of St. Victor, one of the great medieval poets, and prefaces from the Ambrosian and Gallican rites. He also quotes a hymn he attributes to Pope St. Damasus. It may interest you to know that St. Damasus, who succeeded Pope Liberius in 366 in a hotly contested election that produced an antipope (the matter was not resolved until a synod in 378), employed a clever young priest, Jerome by name, as his secretary. St. Damasus also encouraged Jerome in his project of revising the <em>Vetus Latina</em> bible in light of the Greek texts then available.</p>
<p>However, we note that A.S. Walpole, in his <em>Early Latin Hymns</em>, informs us that the attribution to Pope St. Damasus first appeared in Baronius’s 1603 edition of <em>Martyrologium Romanum. </em>Moreover, Walpole asserts that, at the time of his writing, the attribution had determined, for the most part, to be spurious. The last author to support the attribution, “and he doubtfully,” made an interesting biographical point. Before his accession to the papacy, Damasus’s fortunes were linked to Pope Liberius’s. So, when Constantius II, ever taken in by all manner of Arians, sent Liberius into exile in Beroea, in Thrace, for the “crime” of defending Athanasius and rejecting Arianism, Damasus went too. When Andrew’s relics were translated from Patras, where he was martyred, to Constantinople, around 357, they may well have passed through Beroea. Or so the author asserts. And, as far as it goes, it would make sense—to us, anyway—for a priest with time on his hands to compose a hymn for the occasion. But the timing is all important for the theory, it seems. The <em>Catholic Encyclopedia</em> informs us that Liberius’s exile was not very long, only a couple of years, and that he was recalled to Rome sometime in 357. (It turned out, to Constantius’s dismay, that Archdeacon Felix, his preferred Arian pope, never quite captured the hearts of the Romans.) So, whether Damasus was in Beroea when Andrew’s relics passed through—<em>if they were taken by road</em>—depends on when, exactly, Liberius was recalled to Rome. An amusing detective story, to be sure, but one best left to the historians.</p>
<p>At any rate, the key to this interesting hymn is to know that <em>Andreas</em> includes among its meanings <em>beauty</em>.</p>
<p><em>Decus sacrati nominis,</em><br />
<em>Vitamque nomen exprimens,</em><br />
<em>Hoc te Decorum praedicat</em><br />
<em>Crucis beatae gloria.</em></p>
<p><em>Andrea, Christi Apostole,</em><br />
<em>Hoc ipso iam vocabulo</em><br />
<em>Signaris isto nomine,</em><br />
<em>Decorem idem mystice.</em></p>
<p><em>Quem Crux ad alta provehit,</em><br />
<em>Crux quem beata diligit,</em><br />
<em>Cui Crux amara praeparat</em><br />
<em>Lucis futurae gaudia.</em></p>
<p><em>In te Crucis mysterium</em><br />
<em>Cluit gemello stigmate,</em><br />
<em>Dum probra vincis per Crucem,</em><br />
<em>Crucisque pandis sanguinem.</em></p>
<p><em>Iam nos foveto languidos,</em><br />
<em>Curamque nostri suscipe,</em><br />
<em>Quo per Crucis victoriam</em><br />
<em>Coeli petamus patriam.</em></p>
<p><em>Amen. </em></p>
<p>It is a shame that this fine hymn, which is apparently ancient, and which points up the identity of Andrew’s cross with <em>the</em> Cross, was left out of the Breviary of 1960 and the <em>Liturgia Horarum</em>, which so often restored ancient hymns.</p><br /> <a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/semiduplexdotcom.wordpress.com/955/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/semiduplexdotcom.wordpress.com/955/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=semiduplex.com&blog=100631426&post=955&subd=semiduplexdotcom&ref=&feed=1" width="1" />

Some monks and nuns have no physical cloister in the classic sense. Some houses do not have a structural quadrangle around which the physical cloister is formed. Cloister is a term for enclosure used by enclosed religious, monks and nuns. Some communities have strict Papal enclosure. It's technically about separation from the world. There used to be semi-cloistered religious who maintained enclosure with a separate convent or house, including refectory and living quarters - often attached to the facility in which they worked. They still exist of course in orders such as the Little Sisters of the Poor, or active Dominican congregations, as well as friaries and priories. Again, it's a practical matter, as well as a canon law requirement I think, and it's about separation from the world.<br /><br />The lovely architectural enclosure found in traditional monasteries and great abbeys is only part of the cloister - but it is not the heart of a monastery. The heart of the monastery is the Opus Dei, the work of God - hence the location of the heart of the monastery would most likely be the choir, the monastery chapel or church. <br /><br />Unless the monks make ale - then it could be the brewery for some. <br /><br />When I was in the monastery there was a funny novice who liked to go to the quadrangle, his hood up, arms beneath his scapular, pacing meditatively. None of the monks used the quadrangle except to tend the garden. The cell was the normal place for meditation and prayer. Some of the brothers would snicker about our little brother playing monk. He had very romantic notions of monastic life, and he soon left, rather disappointed. Monastic life is completely ordinary - no drama - ever.<br /><br />What? </div>

<div class="tr_bq">I'm not sure I'd put it quite like that, but here's Rod Dreher, commenting on the <a href="http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/pope-cracks-door-to-lutheran-communion/">Pope cracking the door to Lutheran communion</a> (<i>American Conservative</i>, November 16, 2015):</div><blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16.875px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">Francis continues to, um, amaze. <a href="http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2015/11/life-is-bigger-than-explanations-to.html" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(161, 174, 215); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #27338d; text-decoration: none;">From Rocco Palma’s report on the Pope’s meeting with Lutherans in Rome on Sunday, as part of an ecumenical dialogue:</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote><blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16.875px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2015/11/life-is-bigger-than-explanations-to.html" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(161, 174, 215); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #27338d; text-decoration: none;"></a> <blockquote class="tr_bq">In an answer that’s almost certain to resonate broadly across the ecumenical scene (and elsewhere, quite possibly show his hand on his intended course <a href="http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-real-scandal-is-fear-of-love-at.html" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(161, 174, 215); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #27338d; text-decoration: none;">following last month’s Synod on the Family</a>), the pontiff – clearly wrestling with the plea – pointedly appealed less to the standard prohibition of the Eucharist for Protestant communities than to the woman’s discernment in conscience.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">As if to reinforce the point, in a move clearly decided in advance, Francis publicly presented the pastor with a chalice which appeared identical to the ones the Pope gave the archbishops of Washington, New York and Philadelphia during his late September US trip.<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16.875px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">Quoting from his answer to a question posed by a Lutheran woman married to a Catholic man, about when she and her husband can expect to receive holy communion together (it is forbidden in the Catholic Church for non-Catholics — Orthodox Christians excepted under certain conditions — to receive communion):<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16.875px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px;"><blockquote class="tr_bq">I can only respond to your question with a question: what can I do with my husband that the Lord’s Supper might accompany me on my path?

And what’s the difference? There are explanations, interpretations, but life is bigger than explanations and interpretations. Always refer back to your baptism – one faith, one baptism, one Lord: this Paul tells us; and then consequences come later.</blockquote><blockquote>I would never dare <i>to give permission</i> to do this, because it’s not my own competence.

However these ecclesial communities, “when they commemorate the Lord’s death and resurrection in the Holy Supper . . . profess that it signifies life in communion with Christ and await his coming in glory.”</span></blockquote>Dreher observes the shift from this:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16.875px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4em;">“Eucharistic intercommunion with these communities is not possible” is now “One baptism, one Lord, one faith. Talk to the Lord and then go forward.”</span></blockquote><blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16.875px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">Of course he “would never dare to give permission to do this,” the Jesuit pope said, Jesuitically, but said so in winking at doing that very thing. Hard to avoid the conclusion that Pope Francis just effectively rewrote the <em>Catechism, </em>and destroyed a Eucharistic discipline that has existed since the Reformation. Did you ever think you would live to see this? The Pope is refuting the magisterial teaching of his own Church, and not on a small matter either.</blockquote><span>Here is how one reader sees the matter: "In an era when </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">everything</em><span> is becoming up for grabs, the Pope adds to the disorientation. It is not one big thing, but all the combined </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">little</em><span> things that make Francis a catastrophe." </span>

The influence of Luce's Time-Life publishing empire and its connections to the CIA are references.

<div class="itemdescription">
<p>We've been having a family debate about the status of higher education today, which has led to the exchange of some pretty substantial and provocative rants. Here's one from my son Jamie, which I thought you might enjoy. Feel free to comment:<blockquote>One of the problems is that colleges serve two purposes (btw a great, very brief <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/15/opinion/sunday/a-crisis-our-universities-deserve.html?rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2Fross-douthat&action=click&contentCollection=opinion&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=collection&_r=1">post on this is by Douthat of the NYT</a>). First, the purpose they were originally designed to serve, to educate the small, aristocratic elite of the nation with the kind of cultural formation in the arts and sciences they would need to govern well, which required them to have a depth of understanding and wisdom regarding the human condition. But given American egalitarianism, it soon became clear (and rightly so) that this ‘glass ceiling’ kept the 99% of society (including all women, minorities, etc.) from upward mobility, so the pressure was on to give equal access to this ‘stepping stone to the middle class’ to all Americans. This has guided developments over the past century or so. But this shifts the purpose of colleges, or rather adds a second purpose, to teach job skills and enhance job placement, which (given the needs of an information society) means technocratic know-how, i.e. science and mathematics, business and engineering, etc. Hence the great schisms which rack most colleges like my own, between the dreamy, ivory tower liberal arts professors like myself who still think their purpose is to instill a deep sense of the human condition, and the realpolitik business and engineering professors who know that college (like real estate and retirement plans) is really a financial investment – put $30,000 in and over your lifetime you’ll get four times that out, so long as you know how to navigate the economic and professional spheres, which it is their business to train you how to do. <br /><br />The biggest predictor of financial success remains, more and more every decade, a college degree. So colleges feel justified in doubling and tripling the price, as the financial payoff of a college degree rises. Also, massive increase in student populations, especially when these are not the highly-motivated yuppies of privileged households but the huddled, starving masses of a thousand demographic groups, raises immense complications for the ‘student life’ offices. Now we need to entertain these people, given them clubs and athletic activities, enforce disciplinary codes, monitor them with RAs and RDs, etc. So the biggest increase in COSTS for universities is administration. At some major universities DEANS almost outnumber faculty. And those guys get oodles of money in salaries. And that cost gets passed on to students. <br /><br />I have always thought that we need two different types of colleges, liberal arts colleges and professional colleges. Liberal arts colleges can have very high admission standards, no quotas, and continue to recruit only the ‘best of the best’ American youth, and can dispense with most ‘babysitting’ administrative offices, all varsity athletics, etc. Professional colleges, whose chief purpose is to get young people jobs, can simply teach business skills and basic math. The latter can generally function online, like the University of Phoenix, which does a perfectly good job with this sort of thing – and again, you can dispense with all the administrative functions, get rid of dorms/residencies, get rid of varsity sports, etc. The latter could become dirt-cheap, potentially even free (i.e., taxpayer-funded), since running an online curriculum costs almost nothing. <br /><br />The problem is that most state universities want to be all these things at once – a babysitting service, a professional sports team, a liberal arts academy, a research facility, and a job training agency. That’s massively expensive, hence the problems.</blockquote>

<span class="itemfrom">[<a href="http://pblosser.blogspot.com/">Musings of a Pertinacious Papist</a>]</span>
</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<p>Fr. Eduard Perrone, "<a href="http://www.parishesonline.com/find/assumption-grotto-church">A Pastor's Descant</a>" [temporary link] (Assumption Grotto News, November 29, 2015):<blockquote> <img align="left" hspace="6" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jgdbwCAcVjA/U_FcT4vZPmI/AAAAAAAAOvI/ktJglzU1y1Y/s1600/Fr%2BPerrone.PNG" vspace="4" />A new liturgical year commences on the heels of the day of Thanksgiving when we acknowledge God’s goodness for His many blessings. At least, that was the original idea behind the American holiday. While I am writing still in anticipation of Thanksgiving I can say that I am in the mood for the change of season. Perhaps it was the sudden and generous downpour of snow last weekend that made me look forward to a liturgical shift. <br /><br />I have always had a love for Advent but have always been disappointed that it’s so short a time. <b>One hardly begins to feel that longing of the people of the Old Testament for deliverance by the Messiah–which is recaptured in spirit at this time–when, suddenly, the great Day comes upon us.</b><br /><br />To help nurse that special Advent feeling along I have reproduced a hymn for the season that I sang in my youth. It is now to be found in our hymnals, glued onto a page of otherwise negligible music. The hymn is a paraphrase of the prophetic text from Isaiah, so poetic and so expressive of the spirit of longing for the Messiah: <b>“Drop down dew, O gracious heaven.”</b> It took some scouting to find this now forgotten hymn. None of the hymnals I consulted (and I have several of them) had it but the one, a somewhat offbeat publication from the olden days. (I can’t understand why no other hymn book carries this text and melody when the Advent time is so well captured by it.) The words of the hymn speak to the sky, asking that the dew of the Holy Spirit come down and make fertile–not the earth–but the Holy Virgin Mary who will bear the Messiah within Her. We need this supplement to the season’s hymns since “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” and “On Jordan’s Bank”–nice as they are–can use a little help to convey to us the Advent spirit. I hope this hymn will strike a sympathetic chord in your hearts and assist you in making this year’s Advent a little more meaningful. <br /><br /><b>The trappings of Christmas have well begun making their way into the secular world, as I was to discover the week before Thanksgiving (already!)</b> while doing a little food shopping. The music included the refrain, “...soon it will be Christmas day.” Well, not really all that “soon.” Perhaps the commercial world would find it more profitable to play Christmas ditties <i>all year round</i> so that we’d soon become sick of it and make a determined effort to ‘change our tune.’ I know I say something about this kind of spoliation of Christmas every year and I do it because <b>it ruins, if not Christmas Day, at least Advent for many people, a time which ought to be a season of vigilant waiting for Christ</b>, a time of penitence–milder than in Lent–and a <b>season of a sobriety that’s meant to deepen the space in our souls for a greater possession of Christ.</b> <br /><br />The cookie sale to benefit our St. Vincent de Paul Helpers seemed to do well last Sunday. The decorative <i>used</i> Christmas items will be made available again next weekend for you to make some bargain purchases. Our Helpers have done a lot of good in the short time that they have been in existence. I’m glad that they are dedicated to this corporal work of mercy. <br /><br />We have acquired a small practice pipe organ that you will see in the lounge. It came from a parish church that was installing a larger pipe organ and which needed to find a good home for the former instrument. You may note that many parishes nowadays have only keyboards for use as a synthesized piano (a secular instrument that should not be in churches anyway) or synthesized organ. This real instrument will help us in our music program as well as give organ student a place to practice. I caution all parishioners, however, that this is not a toy for children and that it’s not to played by anyone without permission. Piano students are not entitled to play it. It is a true instrument given to us–a great gift indeed. <br /><br />Fr. Perrone </blockquote>

<div class="itemdescription">
<p>[From the <a href="http://drandmrsholmes.com/?page_id=1505#JesseTree">online Jesse Tree</a>.]</p>
<p>A reading from the book of Genesis (1:26-28):</p>
<blockquote><p>Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”</p></blockquote>
<p>During Advent, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. Every night there is more darkness. If we look around we just see darkness, but if we look up we see frosty pin-pricks of light. When we see the gigantic sky, the moon and stars that God arranged, we may wonder: If God is so powerful and great, why does he pay any attention to little things like us?</p>
<p><a href="http://drandmrsholmes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Adam_and_Eve.jpg"><img alt="Adam and Eve" class="size-medium wp-image-1502 alignleft" height="300" src="http://drandmrsholmes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Adam_and_Eve-218x300.jpg" width="218" /></a></p>
<div class="wp-caption-dd"></div>
<p>The Bible says that God made us more important than the moon and all the stars and everything in the night sky put together. He made us in his own image, which means that we can know God and love him, which no star or animal or plant can do. Just as God is the king of the whole world, he made us kings over all the animals and all the fish and everything else that lives on the earth or in the sea.</p>
<p>Why did God make us kings? He made us kings over the world so that we could lead the whole world back to him. Everything that came from God needs to go to God, and we are supposed to bring the world to him.</p>
<p>How can we bring the world to God? It is very simple to say, but very hard to do. What would happen if a king gave himself to God? Wouldn’t that king’s whole kingdom be a gift too? We bring the world to God by giving him ourselves. If we trust God for everything we need, praise God for all his wonderful works, and love God above all things, then the whole world becomes a gift to him.</p>
<p><em>Prayer</em></p>
<p>Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.</p>

<p>[From the <a href="http://drandmrsholmes.com/?page_id=1505#JesseTree">online Jesse Tree</a>.]</p>
<p>A reading from the book of Genesis (1:1-5):</p>
<blockquote><p>In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.</p></blockquote>
<p>Advent is the time every year when we tell a story. It is a long story, about many different people and many different times. It is a beautiful story, sometimes sad and sometimes happy. It is also a story with the happiest ending you can imagine, because it is the story of how Jesus came to save us.</p>
<p>Our story begins at the very beginning of the whole world. The very first book of the Bible says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) God made the light and the darkness; God made the sky and the sea; God made the dry land and all the plants; God made the sun and the moon and the stars; God made all the birds and all the animals. Everything we see around us came from God, because God is the beginning of all things.</p>
<p>Then the Bible says: “On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.” (Genesis 2:2-3) This doesn’t mean that God was tired and needed to rest. No, it means that God wants the whole world and everything in it to rest in him at the end of time. Just as everything begins in God, so too everything ends in God.</p>
<p><a href="http://drandmrsholmes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Alpha_and_Omega.png"><img alt="Alpha_and_Omega" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1498" height="150" src="http://drandmrsholmes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Alpha_and_Omega-300x150.png" width="300" /></a>This is what our Advent story is about: how everything that came from God will go back to God in the end.</p>
<p>Our ornament today is the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, which are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. In the very last book of the Bible, God says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.” (Revelation 21:6) This ornament reminds us that God made everything and that everything was made for God.</p>
<p>[If Advent begins on or after November 28, proceed directly to the <a href="http://drandmrsholmes.com/?p=1500">next ornament</a> now.]</p>
<p><em>Prayer</em></p>
<p>O Lord, we beg you, come before us with your inspiration and accompany us with your help, that our every prayer and work may always begin with you and through you be completed. Amen.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">On Tuesday, July 26th, I found Mr Johnson alone. We talked of the education of children; and I asked him what he thought was best to teach them first. JOHNSON: ‘Sir, it is no matter what you teach them first, any more than what leg you shall put into your breeches first. Sir, you may stand disputing which is best to put in first, but in the mean time, your breach is bare. Sir, while you are considering which of two things you should teach your child first, another boy has learnt them both (from ‘The Life of Samuel Johnson’, chapter VI).</p>

Yes. It is no less strange however, that the Word, left his Father, to become one with man, to become Bread from Heaven. <br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 14.784px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 14.784px;" />Blessed Bernardo Francisco de Hoyos, S.J., First apostle of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Spain.<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 14.784px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 14.784px;" />I read someplace that Bl. Bernardo's intercession is especially helpful to those who struggle with the vice of impurity. I think Bernardo's devotion to the Sacred Heart - the complete surrender of all his affections - is an antidote to all impurity. The grace of espousal seems to me to be similar to the consummate love of Jesus in the Eucharist for us, wherefore he gives us his body, blood, soul, and divinity at every Communion. Isn't it like that? Isn't that total union what we are called to? I like to think so at every Communion - even when I feel nothing, see nothing, hear nothing - it seems especially then that faith supplies.<br /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 14.784px;" />I'm sure I would rather not have experiences such as those Bl. Bernardo participated in - I prefer to love in deepest obscurity... silently recollected after each Communion. Knowing he is there and I am with him. I like the way Bl. Bernardo put it: “I see that everything in my heart is moving towards God, drawn like iron to a magnet. It desires only God, searches only for God, and longs only for God….” For Bernardo, that was his constant state - and he remained faithful to the graces he received. For me, perhaps this desire is only imperfectly experienced in the thanksgiving after Communion. Which is why I never want to waste those moments of recollection.<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.9px;"><br /></span><blockquote class="tr_bq">Always holding my right hand, the Lord had me occupy the empty throne; then He fitted on my finger a gold ring.... “May this ring be an earnest of our love. You are Mine, and I am yours. You may call yourself and sign Bernardo de Jesus, thus, as I said to my spouse, Santa Teresa, you are Bernardo de Jesus and I am Jesus de Bernardo. My honor is yours; your honor is Mine. Consider My glory that of your Spouse; I will consider yours, that of My spouse. All Mine is yours, and all yours is Mine. What I am by nature you share by grace. You and I are one!” - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GWJENG/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=jesusinloveor-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B000GWJENG">The Visions of Bernard Francis De Hoyos, S.J.</a><img border="0" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jesusinloveor-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000GWJENG&camp=217145&creative=399373" /> by Henri Bechard, S.J. (Ed. note: I am unable to verify this quote.)</blockquote><br />Gay/SSA Catholic men seem to be especially taken by this particular image of spiritual betrothal. It shows how carnal or sexualized our understanding can be. The Blessed Virgin takes care of such romantic misunderstandings regarding union with Christ and the spiritual marriage in those devoted to her. Other gay Catholics, male and female, sometimes see in this incidence some significance for the cause of same sex marriage, which strikes me as rather absurd.<br /><br />In the ascetic-mystical life of the saints, God himself purifies the soul of disordered passions in and through purifying trials and temptations. Thus proving true Christ's words, 'what is impossible for man is possible for God.' Blessed Bernardo was no exception.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Apart from being favored by mystical graces, heavenly visions and saintly visitations, Bernard also suffered excruciating attacks from demonic forces. As happens to those who arrive at the threshold of mystical life, he was not spared “the dark night of the soul”, through which he struggled for five months. </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">During this period, the devils began to taunt him: “Now you will see, you sanctimonious hypocrite, what it is to trifle with God when you fall into His hands!” His mind was filled with images of God as a Just Judge, Who was displeased with him. Bernard became despondent. His meditation, Mass, Communion, penances… instead of assuaging his sufferings, made him feel more wretched. The great graces and favours he had received in the past months now appeared as objects of ridicule. He could not find comfort in his companions, either. The periods of recreation after meals degenerated into pure torture.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">In despair, he felt a furious urge to beat his head against a wall, to gnaw his lips or tear out his hair, or even jump out the window. More, he was violently incited to blaspheme God, the Blessed Virgin, the angels and his most beloved saints. Whenever he begged God for assistance, the devil would taunt him by saying that he had become unworthy of any grace because of his degenerated behavior. Bernard’s biggest harassment was in the temptations regarding impurity; he was bombarded by obscene thoughts and his reactions brought him to tears and made him gnash his teeth. Worst of all, he was getting more and more convinced that all the divine favors he had presumed he had received in; the past were merely illusions and only snares set up by the devil to drag him to hell.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">Through it all, the power of Christ stayed with him and prevented him from going to extreme measures. Thus, in reality, he did not ever say the least word or do the slightest action that would have surprised or shocked his companions. Nonetheless, he suffered continually day and night, especially during his prayer and while going to Communion. He was facing a period of the dark night of the soul”. - <a href="http://joygift.tripod.com/blessed_bernardo_de_hoyos.htm">Source</a></blockquote><br />Blessed Bernardo died on November 29, at the age of 24 in 1735.</div>

<div class="itemdescription">
<blockquote>The world is quiet here.</blockquote><br />Enbrethiliel picked the Fortnightly Book for this time around, and it is Lemony Snicket's <i>The Bad Beginning</i>. Lemony Snicket is the pen-name of Daniel Handler (who often calls himself 'Lemony Snicket's handler'). I will actually be re-reading the entire children's series, the thirteen books of <i>A Series of Unfortunate Events</i>, but I will focus particularly on how it starts.<br /><br />The books in the series have a number of shared gimmicks. There is always a letter (often on the back cover) from Lemony Snicket to the reader, giving reasons why they should not read such an unpleasant book. Thus <i>The Bad Beginning</i> warns us:<br /><br /><blockquote>In this short book alone, the three youngster encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.</blockquote><br />(Incongruous lists is a Snicket staple.) Each book has a melancholy dedication to Beatrice. That of <i>The Bad Beginning</i> is:<br /><br /><blockquote>To Beatrice---<br />darling, dearest, dead.</blockquote><br />The works end with a letter to Snicket's editor, which typically includes some entirely fantastic plan for getting further manuscripts, and proof of Snicket's story, into the editor's hands. Each book is filled with acronyms, anagrams, cryptic messages, and literary allusions.<br /><br />And, of course, the works are entirely about an endless series of disasters that strike the three Baudelaire children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, beginning with the death of their parents and the villainy of Count Olaf, which they somehow manage to overcome. But much of the strength of the overall story arc, I think, lies in the negative space, the constant hints of the disasters that preceded the Baudelaire children, which only ever come partially into view -- the death of Beatrice, Lemony's cryptic comments about his own misfortunes, the furor and fury over Esmé Squalor's sugar bowl, the VFD, and the like. For it is not an accident that the Baudelaire children suffer so much. They have, through no fault of their own, entered a long, grueling, perplexing war, between those who fight fires (literally and figuratively) and those who start them, between those who value reading books and those who value burning them....

<p><img src="http://image.catholicnews.com/imagehandler/photos/2015/11/29/20151129T1213-652-CNS-POPE-BANGUI-MERCY_310.jpg" /><p>IMAGE: CNS photo/Paul Haring</p><p></p><p>By Cindy Wooden</p><p>BANGUI, Central African Republic
(CNS) -- Put down the weapons of war and work for justice, Pope Francis urged
the people of the Central African Republic.</p>
<p>"Even when the powers of
hell are unleashed, Christians must rise to the summons, their heads held high,
and be ready to brave blows in this battle over which God will have the last
word. And that word will be love and peace," the pope said in an evening homily Nov.
29 at Bangui's cathedral.</p>
<p>A civil war that began in 2013
and ongoing outbursts of violence, including between mainly Muslim and mainly
Christian militias, have sown terror in the Central African Republic, which
already was on most lists of the five poorest countries in Africa. A fifth of
the country's population has fled abroad or is living in camps for displaced
people.</p>
<p>Explaining to people outside the
Bangui cathedral that their city was, for the day, "the spiritual capital
of the world," Pope Francis prayed for the mercy and grace of peace as he
used both hands and his body weight to push open the Holy Door of the
cathedral. The main opening of the Year of Mercy will be Dec. 8 at St. Peter's
Basilica in Rome.</p>
<p>Marking the first Sunday of
Advent at the Mass with priests, religious, catechists and youths, Pope Francis
urged the Catholic community to be committed to helping the country make a new
start.</p>
<p>Christians, and especially those
with a vocation to priesthood or religious life, are called to love their
enemies, "which protects us from the temptation to seek revenge and from
the spiral of endless retaliation," the pope said in his homily.</p>
<p>Anyone who has a role of
evangelizer, teacher or preacher in the Christian community, he said, must be
"first and foremost practitioners of forgiveness, specialists in
reconciliation, experts in mercy."</p>
<p>As Catholics observe the Advent
time of waiting to celebrate Christ's coming, he said, they should keep
reminding themselves that God is a God of justice and of love -- two things the
people of Central African Republic need desperately.</p>
<p>"God is stronger than all else,"
the pope said. "This conviction gives the believer serenity, courage and
the strength to persevere in good amid the greatest hardships."</p>
<p>"To all those who make
unjust use of the weapons of this world, I make this appeal: Lay down these
instruments of death! Arm yourselves instead with righteousness, with love and
mercy, the authentic guarantors of peace," the pope said.</p>
<p>Pope Francis arrived at the
cathedral after a meeting with representatives of the Central African
Republic's evangelical and Protestant communities.</p>
<p>Catholic Archbishop Dieudonne
Nzapalainga of Bangui, president of the Central African Republic bishops'
conference, Rev. Nicolas Guerekoyame-Gbangou, president of the Evangelical
Alliance of the Central African Republic, and Imam Oumar Kobine Layama,
president of the Islamic Community of Central African Republic, have been
working together to persuade their people to end the vendettas and embrace
peace and reconciliation.</p>
<p>Rev. Guerekoyame-Gbangou was
among those welcoming Pope Francis Nov. 29 to a special meeting with
representatives of the country's evangelical and Protestant communities.</p>
<p>The pope publicly expressed
"closeness and solidarity to Pastor Nicolas, whose home was recently
ransacked and set on fire, as was the meeting-place of his community. In these
difficult circumstances, the Lord keeps asking us to demonstrate to everyone
his tenderness, compassion and mercy." </p>
<p>For too long, too many Central
Africans have been suffering, the pope said.</p>
<p>"There are also those who
have been scarred in soul or body by hatred and violence, those whom war has
deprived of everything: work, home and loved ones," the pope said. When
God looks upon the suffering, he does not see members of one denomination or
another. </p>
<p>"I have often called this
the ecumenism of blood," he said. "All our communities suffer
indiscriminately as a result of injustice and the blind hatred unleashed by the
devil."</p>
<p>Pope Francis urged the country's
Christians to continue on the path of ecumenism, cooperation and common prayer.
</p>
<p>"The lack of unity among
Christians is a scandal," he said, "above all because it is contrary
to God's will."</p>
<p>But it is also a scandal in a
world torn apart by hatred and violence, a world yearning for a word of peace
and unity, he said. </p>

Die heutige Welt braucht vor allem Hoffnung: die Völker der Entwicklungsländer brauchen sie, aber auch die Völker der wirtschaftlich entwickelten Länder. Immer mehr werden wir uns dessen bewußt, daß wir alle im selben Boot sitzen und uns alle gemeinsam retten müssen. Da wir so viele falsche Sicherheiten zusammenbrechen sehen, merken wir vor allem, daß wir einer verläßlichen Hoffnung bedürfen, und diese findet sich allein in Christus, der nach einem Wort des </span><span>Briefes an die Hebräer</span><span> »derselbe gestern, heute und in Ewigkeit« ist (13,8). Jesus, der Herr, ist in der Vergangenheit gekommen, er kommt in der Gegenwart und wird in der Zukunft kommen. Er umfaßt alle Dimensionen der Zeit, da er gestorben und auferstanden ist, er ist »der Lebendige«, und indem er unsere menschliche Begrenztheit mit uns teilt, bleibt er für immer und bietet uns die Beständigkeit Gottes an. Er ist »Fleisch« wie wir und »Fels« wie Gott. Jeder, der sich nach Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit und Frieden sehnt, kann wieder aufstehen und das Haupt erheben, da in Christus die Befreiung nahe ist (vgl. </span><span>Lk</span><span> 21,28) – wie wir im heutigen Evangelium lesen. Daher können wir sagen, daß Jesus Christus nicht allein die Christen oder nur die Gläubigen angeht, sondern alle Menschen, weil er, der Mittelpunkt des Glaubens, auch der Grund der Hoffnung ist. Und der Hoffnung bedarf jeder Mensch ständig....."</span></i></div><div><br /></div><div>hier geht´s zum Gesamttext: <b><a href="http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/de/angelus/2009/documents/hf_ben-xvi_ang_20091129.html">klicken</a></b><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Quelle: La Santa Sede, LEV, www.chiesa</span><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Wir bedanken uns bei Sandro Magister für diesen Adventskalender der etwas anderen Art und bei blogger bellfrell für dieses Video, das bei uns die von Magister verlinkten Gregorianischen Gesänge zur Adventszeit ersetzt, die bei uns nicht abrufbar sind (GEMA?)<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Aus dem Hl.

This morning at Matins of the First Sunday of Advent, Pope Saint Leo the Great (400–461) gave us a message of hope. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>If in this life, it is difficult to persevere, it is possible, nevertheless, oftentimes to begin again, in order that we may be occupied more frequently and more intently with spiritual things rather than carnal ones. (<em>Sermon IX, On the December Fast</em>)</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Setting Out Again</strong><br />
Advent is the season of a new beginning. It is the moment to start afresh. The inner movement of Advent surges upward and outward towards God. Thus did we sing this morning at Holy Mass: “All my heart goes out to thee, O Lord my God” (Psalm 24:1). Year after year the Holy Ghost gives us this time of grace and so helps us to leave behind all of those things that make us heavy–hearted, earth–bound, and lethargic. Advent, the beginning of the liturgical year, brings to souls the grace of setting out once again with, as Saint Clare of Assisi says, “s<span class="st">wift pace, light step, and unswerving feet”.</span></p>
<p><strong>The Devil’s Tired Old Discourse</strong><br />
So many people, brought low by life’s hardships, by their own weaknesses and sins, by tragedies, illness, losses, and betrayals, come very near to despairing of so much as the possibility of beginning again. The devil himself slithers like a venomous snake through our psyches, hissing, “Why begin again? You know that you will fall again? Why begin again? It’s all wasted effort. Why begin again? You shall only fail. Why begin again? It will change nothing. Why begin again? You are fatally flawed; your hopes are illusions. You will never emerge from the wreckage you have made of your life. Why begin again? Just relax. Take it easy. Go with the flow. You’re grand just as you are. Why begin again? You’ve tried it all before. Has prayer made a difference? Why begin again?” This is devil’s tired, old discourse. He may vary the words, but he never changes his message.</p>
<p><strong>Out of Darknes</strong>s<br />
Pope Saint Leo the Great has an altogether different message. He speaks in the name of Christ. He speaks in the power of the Holy Ghost. He speaks with the authority of a Truth that can neither deceive or be deceived, a Truth that is invincible and incorruptible, a Truth that is utterly reliable, a Truth upon which one can build and rebuild one’s life, though it be altogether in ruins. Saint Leo says, “If in this life, it is difficult to persevere, it is possible, nevertheless, oftentimes to begin again”. The state in which you find yourself at present matters little; what matters is the state to which Christ is calling you: the state of grace, of holiness, of communion with the Father in the consolation of the Holy Ghost.</p>
<blockquote><p>“You”, says Saint Peter, “are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a people God means to have for himself; it is yours to proclaim the exploits of the God who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Time was when you were not a people at all, now you are God’s people; once you were unpitied, and now his pity is yours”. (1 Peter 2:9–10)</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Moderation</strong><br />
Pope Saint Leo the Great also speaks to us of the necessity of moderation, of using created goods in a measured way, with restraint, avoiding all excess. Saint Leo speaks specifically of moderation in eating and drinking because for him, back in the 5th century, Advent was a season marked by fasting and abstinence, even as it ought to be for us today. Pope Saint Leo says:</p>
<blockquote><p>By daily experience, beloved, it is proved that the mind’s edge is blunted by over-indulgence of the flesh, and the heart’s vigour is dulled by excess of food, so that the delights of eating are even opposed to the health of the body, unless reasonable moderation withstand the temptation and the consideration of future discomfort keep from the pleasure. (<em>Sermon IX, On the December Fast</em>)</p></blockquote>
<p>What are some concrete examples of this? If I eat too much, I will feel heavy and bloated. Prayer, exercise, and study will be difficult. If I drink too much, I will find it hard to get out of bed the next day; my emotions will go from being abnormally intense to being altogether dull; my reason will be impaired. If I watch too much television, I will be disinclined to read things that require mental exertion. If I spend too much time in front of the computer, I will put myself at risk for mental fatigue which, in turn, can lead to general gloominess. Saint Leo was preaching a very practical Christian wisdom in his Advent sermon. He goes on to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>It is the function of the soul to deny things to the body which is subject to it, and acting on its interior conviction, to keep back the outer man from things unseemly. Then will the soul, more often free from bodily lusts, sit at leisure in the inner temple of the mind, meditating on Divine Wisdom. There, away from all the noise of earthly cares, it may in silence enjoy holy thoughts and eternal delights. (<em>Sermon IX, On the December Fast</em>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Moderation in food, drink, sleep, talking, and use of the social media are necessary for any man who desires to give himself over to watchfulness in prayer. Drunkenness, heaviness, and indigestion are impediments to prayer. So too are an unrestrained use of technology, an immoderate use of the social media, or any other compulsion, addiction or excess.</p>
<p><strong><em>Otium</em>: Holy Leisure</strong><br />
Moderation makes room in one’s life for what the monastic Fathers of the Middle Ages call <em>otium</em>. <em>Otium</em> means leisure, tranquility, and freedom from care. <em>Otium</em> is related to the <em>quies</em> (quiet repose)  of Western monasticism and the <em>hesychia</em> (holy stillness) of Eastern monasticism. <em>Otium</em> lies between <em>otiositas</em> (idleness) and <em>negotium</em> (hyper–busyness), which is the very negation of <em>otium</em>. Inimical to the monastic otium are such things as noise, rushing from one thing to another, and febrile banging about. Dom Jean Leclercq, in his classic <em>The Love of Learning and the Desire for God,</em> calls <em>otium</em> the principal activity of the monk. It is paradoxical that the principal activity of the monk should be an absence of activity. This, perhaps, is something that people living in the rush and and noise of the world can profitably take away from a monastery: a bit of Advent <em>otium</em>, some measure of quiet and tranquillity. Perhaps this is what you will take away from Vespers this evening, together, I hope, with the absolute certainty that, as Pope Saint Leo the Great says, “it is possible . . . oftentimes to begin again” (<em>Sermon IX, On the December Fast</em>).</p>

Church, meet SuperPope.<br /><br />At 5pm Central African time (11am ET) tonight, the <a href="http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2015/11/we-are-all-brothers-between-war-and.html" target="_blank">climactic moment</a> of this African PopeTrip came to pass – with the opening of the Holy Door of Bangui's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on this <a href="http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/112915.cfm" target="_blank">First Sunday of Advent,</a> the 266th Bishop of Rome inaugurated the <a href="http://www.im.va/" target="_blank">Holy Year of Mercy</a> on the continent nine days before the Extraordinary Jubilee's universal launch in Rome....<br /><br /><br />(<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11xK4-brI1k" target="_blank">Mass fullvid.</a>)<br /><br /><b>SVILUPPO (6pm Bangui):</b> In a potent, extensive homily delivered with a striking drivenness of tone – and interrupted by several sustained ovations from the congregation in midstream – the Supreme Pontiff spoke not only to his desire to open the Jubilee in a suffering "periphery" and pleaded for peace in the war-torn CAR, but served up a broad vision statement of what the global Holy Year he's charted (timed to begin on the 50th anniversary of Vatican II's close) is intended to accomplish across the church.<br /><br />Here, the the homily in its English translation:</span><br /><blockquote><span><b><span style="font-size: large;">O</span></b>n this first Sunday of Advent, the liturgical season of joyful expectation of the Saviour and a symbol of Christian hope, God has brought me here among you, in this land, while the universal Church is preparing for the opening of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. I am especially pleased that my pastoral visit coincides with the opening of this Jubilee Year in your country. From this cathedral I reach out, in mind and heart, and with great affection, to all the priests, consecrated men and women, and pastoral workers of the nation, who are spiritually united with us at this moment. Through you, I would greet all the people of the Central African Republic: the sick, the elderly, those who have experienced life’s hurts. Some of them are perhaps despairing and listless, asking only for alms, the alms of bread, the alms of justice, the alms of attention and goodness.</span><br /><span><br /></span> <span>But like the Apostles Peter and John on their way to the Temple, who had neither gold nor silver to give to the paralytic in need, I have come to offer God’s strength and power; for these bring us healing, set us on our feet and enable us to embark on a new life, to “go across to the other side” (cf. Lk 8:22).</span><br /><span><br /></span> <span>Jesus does not make us cross to the other side alone; instead, he asks us to make the crossing with him, as each of us responds to his or her own specific vocation. We need to realize that making this crossing can only be done with him, by freeing ourselves of divisive notions of family and blood in order to build a Church which is God’s family, open to everyone, concerned for those most in need. This presupposes closeness to our brothers and sisters; it implies a spirit of communion. It is not primarily a question of financial means; it is enough just to share in the life of God’s people, in accounting for the hope which is in us (cf. 1 Pet 3:15), in testifying to the infinite mercy of God who, as the Responsorial Psalm of this Sunday’s liturgy makes clear, is “good [and] instructs sinners in the way” (Ps 24:8). Jesus teaches us that our heavenly Father “makes the sun rise on the evil and on the good” (Mt 5:45). Having experienced forgiveness ourselves, we must forgive others in turn. This is our fundamental vocation: “You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48).</span><br /><span><br /></span> <span>One of the essential characteristics of this vocation to perfection is the love of our enemies, which protects us from the temptation to seek revenge and from the spiral of endless retaliation. Jesus placed special emphasis on this aspect of the Christian testimony (cf. Mt 5:46-47). Those who evangelize must therefore be first and foremost practitioners of forgiveness, specialists in reconciliation, experts in mercy. This is how we can help our brothers and sisters to “cross to the other side” – by showing them the secret of our strength, our hope, and our joy, all of which have their source in God, for they are grounded in the certainty that he is in the boat with us. As he did with the apostles at the multiplication of the loaves, so too the Lord entrusts his gifts to us, so that we can go out and distribute them everywhere, proclaiming his reassuring words: “Behold, the days are coming when I will fulfil the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah” (Jer 33:14).</span><br /><span><br /></span> <span>In the readings of this Sunday’s liturgy, we can see different aspects of this salvation proclaimed by God; they appear as signposts to guide us on our mission. First of all, the happiness promised by God is presented as justice. Advent is a time when we strive to open our hearts to receive the Saviour, who alone is just and the sole Judge able to give to each his or her due. Here as elsewhere, countless men and women thirst for respect, for justice, for equality, yet see no positive signs on the horizon. These are the ones to whom he comes to bring the gift of his justice (cf. Jer 33:15). He comes to enrich our personal and collective histories, our dashed hopes and our sterile yearnings. And he sends us to proclaim, especially to those oppressed by the powerful of this world or weighed down by the burden of their sins, that “Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it shall be called, ‘The Lord is our righteousness’” (Jer 33:16). Yes, God is righteousness; God is justice. This, then, is why we Christians are called in the world to work for a peace founded on justice.</span><br /><span><br /></span> <span>The salvation of God which we await is also flavoured with love. In preparing for the mystery of Christmas, we relive the pilgrimage which prepared God’s people to receive the Son, who came to reveal that God is not only righteousness, but also and above all love (cf. 1 Jn 4:8). In every place, even and especially in those places where violence, hatred, injustice and persecution hold sway, Christians are called to give witness to this God who is love. In encouraging the priests, consecrated men and woman, and committed laity who, in this country live, at times heroically, the Christian virtues, I realize that the distance between this demanding ideal and our Christian witness is at times great. For this reason I echo the prayer of Saint Paul: “Brothers and sisters, may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all men and women” (1 Th 3:12). Thus what the pagans said of the early Christians will always remain before us like a beacon: “See how they love one another, how they truly love one another” (Tertullian, Apology, 39, 7).</span><br /><span><br /></span> <span>Finally, the salvation proclaimed by God has an invincible power which will make it ultimately prevail. After announcing to his disciples the terrible signs that will precede his coming, Jesus concludes: “When these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Lk 21:28). If Saint Paul can speak of a love which “grows and overflows”, it is because Christian witness reflects that irresistible power spoken of in the Gospel. It is amid unprecedented devastation that Jesus wishes to show his great power, his incomparable glory (cf. Lk 21:27) and the power of that love which stops at nothing, even before the falling of the heavens, the conflagration of the world or the tumult of the seas. God is stronger than all else. This conviction gives to the believer serenity, courage and the strength to persevere in good amid the greatest hardships. Even when the powers of Hell are unleashed, Christians must rise to the summons, their heads held high, and be ready to brave blows in this battle over which God will have the last word. And that word will be love and peace!</span><br /><span><br /></span> <span>To all those who make unjust use of the weapons of this world, I make this appeal: lay down these instruments of death! Arm yourselves instead with righteousness, with love and mercy, the authentic guarantors of peace. As followers of Christ, dear priests, religious and lay pastoral workers, here in this country, with its suggestive name, situated in the heart of Africa and called to discover the Lord as the true centre of all that is good, your vocation is to incarnate the very heart of God in the midst of your fellow citizens. May the Lord deign to “strengthen your hearts in holiness, that you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints” (1 Th 3:13). Reconciliation. Forgiveness. Love. Peace. Amen.</span></blockquote><span><b>-30-</b></span>

<p><img src="http://image.catholicnews.com/imagehandler/photos/2015/11/29/20151129T2325-46-CNS-POPE-CENTRAL-AFRICAN-REPUBLIC_310.jpg" /><p>IMAGE: CNS/Paul Haring</p><p></p><p>By Cindy Wooden</p><p>BANGUI, Central African Republic (CNS) -- Despite serious
security concerns for Pope Francis and for those who would come to see him, the
pope landed in Central African Republic Nov. 29 saying he came as "a
pilgrim of peace."</p>
<p>"Unity in diversity is a constant challenge, one which
demands creativity, generosity, self-sacrifice and respect for others," he
said, visiting the country where political and ethnic rivalries also have split
people along religious lines.</p>
<p>A brief airport arrival ceremony was held amid tight
security provided by the Central Africans, France, the United Nations, U.N.
peacekeepers, extra Vatican police and even some U.S. security officers dressed
in dark suits. </p>
<p>Pope Francis and his entourage followed Catherine Samba-Panza,
the country's interim president, in a convoy to the presidential palace about
five miles away.</p>
<p>The highway was lined with tens of thousands of people, many
of whom waved palm or other tree branches. In addition to armed forces doing
crowd control, armored U.N. vehicles were parked at almost every intersection.</p>
<p>Samba-Panza was appointed in January 2014 to lead the
country out of the civil war that began in 2013 and toward democratic
elections. The vote had been scheduled for October, but a new outbreak of
violence between predominantly Muslim factions and predominantly Christian
factions forced a postponement until Dec. 27.</p>
<p>Speaking at the presidential palace, Pope
Francis told Samba-Panza and civic leaders that it was his deep hope that the
vote would "enable the country to embark serenely on (a) new chapter of its
history."</p>
<p>As he often does when trying to encourage a nation's leaders
and people, Pope Francis looked to the nation's ideals -- "unity, dignity
and labor" -- telling the people that they and all their neighbors share
the same hope to see those ideals realized.</p>
<p>Restoring harmony and forging unity, he told the president
and civic leaders, will require "avoiding the temptation to fear others,
the unfamiliar and what is not part of our ethnic group, our political views or
our religious confession."</p>
<p>"Unity, on the contrary, calls for creating and
promoting a synthesis of the richness which each person has to offer," he
said.</p>
<p>Access to education, health care, adequate nutrition and
decent housing must be provided to all, Pope Francis said. "In effect, our
human dignity is expressed by our working for the dignity of our fellow
man."</p>
<p>"Those who have the means to enjoy a decent life,
rather than being concerned with privileges," he said, "must seek to
help those poorer than themselves."</p>
<p>The Central African Republic, rich in natural resources, can
and must do more to develop job opportunities, but must work with local and
international organizations and businesses to ensure that the use of natural resources
does not become an abuse of them.</p>
<p>The country is located in the fertile Congo Basin, known as
the "green heart of Africa," and decisions about resource
exploitation can "affect the entire planet," the pope said.</p>
<p>Pope Francis also thanked all of the international
organizations and governments helping the Central Africans move toward peace.
"I heartily encourage them to continue along the path of solidarity in the
hope that their commitment, together with the activity of the Central African
authorities, will help the country to advance, especially in the areas of
reconciliation, disarmament, peacekeeping, health care and the cultivation of a
sound administration at all levels."</p>
<p>After all the uncertainty because of the security situation,
the fact that the pope arrived is "a blessing from heaven,"
Samba-Panza said. It is "a victory of faith over fear and disbelief and a
victory of the compassion and solidarity of the universal church."</p>
<p>The president thanked the pope for giving her people a
"lesson of courage and determination" by visiting despite the recent
violence. </p>
<p>The country, which was ruled by a succession of military
dictators from 1962 to 1993, also has suffered from repeated coups. In the
process, Samba-Panza said, "Our country has not been spared from
devastating winds that sowed disunity and distrust" between ethnic and
religious groups.</p>
<p>Samba-Panza -- a Catholic and longtime politician --
publicly addressed the pope just a few hours before he was to open the local
celebration of the Year of Mercy by opening the Holy Door at Bangui's cathedral.</p>
<p>"On behalf of the ruling class of this country but also
on behalf of all those who contributed in any way whatsoever to his descent
into hell," she told the pope, "I confess all the harm that has been
done here over the course of history and I beg forgiveness from the bottom of my
heart."</p>
<p>"Abominations have been committed in the name of
religion by people who call themselves believers," she said. "But how
can one be a believer and destroy places of worship, kill one's neighbor, rape,
destroy another's property?"</p>
<p>She prayed the pope would exorcize "the demons of
division, hatred and self-destruction."</p>
<p>After the meeting, Pope Francis went three miles by
popemobile to a refugee camp set up around a Catholic parish. Some 3,300 people
live there and most are women and children.</p>
<p>Little children had lined up holding torn pieces of light
fabric with words written on them: peace, love, friendship, equality.</p>
<p>The pope told the crowd he had read the signs. "We work
and pray and do everything possible for peace, but without love, without
friendship, tolerance, forgiveness, peace isn't possible."</p>
<p>"May you all live in peace not matter what your
ethnicity, religion, social status," the pope said. </p><p>- - -</p><p>Copyright © 2015 Catholic News Service/U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. www.catholicnews.com. All rights reserved.

It's very important to stress the process of getting Thanksgiving 2015 up-and-running started sometime around February 2015.<br /><br /><br /><br />If you are lucky, you will have a stationer nearby which carries <a href="http://crane.com/" target="_blank">Crane & Co.</a> or similar. If you are diligent you will be popping by on a semi-regular basis, and if you are assiduous, you will head directly for the clearance bin to the exclusion of all other temptations.<br /><br /><br /><br />For it is there, the clearance section, on some fine day/evening in February when you will find Thanksgiving stationery, forlorn and forgotten-ish, at +/-90% off. You should pounce.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--PC5w8jq-0o/Vlr5Dx5NdAI/AAAAAAAAAyk/jNoMc3JUwN8/s1600/11062381_10207714013836853_4276123506377367563_o.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--PC5w8jq-0o/Vlr5Dx5NdAI/AAAAAAAAAyk/jNoMc3JUwN8/s320/11062381_10207714013836853_4276123506377367563_o.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>The same applies -- should you not have such accouterments at your disposal -- to tablecloths, napkins and serve/flatware (disposable is fine, provided they are attractive enough). (For these, I scour Williams-Sonoma, both my nearby stores and <a href="http://williams-sonoma.com/" target="_blank">online</a>, as they sometimes have different pricing and selection.)<br /><br /><br /><br />February is the time to get this at ridiculous prices. If the inventory on clearance is large enough, and the prices low enough, you have my blessing and my example to grab every single last one of them. You may be unable to score such a bargain for Thanksgiving 20XX and then where will you be?<br /><br /><br /><br />Weeping bitterly, as Scripture saith, leading a life of regret and remorse.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br /><br /><br />From such a happy February day, until November, you may rest easy; do try to put all of these where you won't forget.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J8ltoguwH9U/Vlr0PjvXMeI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/PHsmwvnmuzs/s1600/THX2015_Menu1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J8ltoguwH9U/Vlr0PjvXMeI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/PHsmwvnmuzs/s320/THX2015_Menu1.jpg" width="248" /></a></div>Then, when Halloween is gone, you can start rehearsing. I normally make one of the components for a given dinner or lunch, and put my family through the test panel process for this year's variation on turkey (get a small breast, not a whole critter) or stuffing or mashed potato, etc. This will allow you to hone in on what you want to slap on your menu cards which you bought back in Feb. for 74¢ for a box of 12, instead of $16.99.<br /><br /><br /><br />It's an inexpensive thought, but it lets people know, at an instinctive level, that you are going to give them a real treat and that you as host(ess) really care about them while they are under your roof (or airspace).<br /><br /><br /><br />There are a couple of things to note from my previous Thanksgiving thoughts of 2006(!)...and they mostly center on the turkey.<br /><br /><br /><br />This year, one of the turkeys proved to be the single best turkeys I have ever cooked. In fact, it's one of the best things I have ever cooked. So here is that, the abbreviated version:<br /><br /><br /><br /><ul><li>Brine the turkey 24h. (If you have a frozen turkey, brining and thawing simultaneously is a GREAT way to do two things -- quickly! -- at once.) My brine is 1½ gal. water, 1 gal. ice (8 lb.), 2 c. kosher salt, 1 cup sugar)</li><li>Remove from brine and air dry in the fridge another 24h.</li><li>Mix some of the herb rub (Incidentally, for oven roast turkey the seasoning rub is 50% kosher salt, 50% dried herb mix [3 parts sage, 2 parts thyme, 1 part marjoram] with a teeny bit of baking soda added in to the skin side to help with browning and crisping of same.) with about 3T of softened butter.</li><li>Apply this between the skin and meat.</li><li>Season generously with the rub, inside the cavity and outside.</li><li>Sprinkle ¼t baking soda over the skin.</li><li>Place in the oven at 425°F (220°C-ish?) for the first 30 min, then drop the heat to 250°F (120°C?) and continue to roast until the white meat registers 160°F (70°C?) and allow to rest until the internal temperature drops to 130°F (55°C or so).</li></ul><br /><br /><br /><br />Hope that helps.

</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<p><br /><br />For the first Sunday of Advent, here is one of my favorite hymns of the season, "Come, thou Redeemer of the Earth." This hymn has its roots in a Latin hymn attributed to St. Ambrose of Milan, <i>Veni Redemptor gentium</i>, which was translated into English by John Mason Neale in the middle of the nineteenth century and set to music borrowed from another old Latin hymn, <i>Puer nobis nascitur</i>. (It also bears mentioning that the tune of <i>Puer nobis nascitur</i> reached nineteenth-century England through a seventeenth-century setting by Michael Praetorius, <a href="http://jesuitjoe.blogspot.com/2013/12/es-ist-ein-ros-entsprungen.html">who is also responsible for one of my favorite Christmas carols</a>.) Had I been ordained to the priesthood during Advent - a season traditionally seen as particularly propitious for ordinations - I almost certainly would have included "Come, thou Redeemer of the Earth" in the music of my first Mass; hopefully those who listen to the hymn will understand why.<br /><br />The version of "Come, thou Redeemer of the Earth" featured here is performed by the <a href="http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/choir/">Choir of King's College, Cambridge</a>, who are undisputed masters of this sort of music. If you want to follow along, here are the words:<blockquote>Come thou Redeemer of the earth,<br />Come, testify thy wondrous birth:<br />All lands admire, all times applaud:<br />Such is the birth that fits our God.<br /><br />Forth from His chamber goeth He,<br />That royal home of purity,<br />A giant in twofold substance one,<br />Rejoicing now His course to run.<br /><br />From God the Father He proceeds,<br />To God the Father back He speeds;<br />Runs out his course to death and hell<br />Returning on God's high throne to dwell.<br /><br />O equal to the Father, Thou!<br />Gird on Thy fleshly mantle now;<br />The weakness of our mortal state<br />With deathless might invigorate.<br /><br />Thy cradle here shall glitter bright,<br />And darkness breathe a newer light,<br />Where endless faith shall shine serene,<br />And twilight never intervene.<br /><br />All laud eternal Son, to Thee;<br />Whose advent sets thy people free<br />Whom with the Father we adore,<br />And Holy Ghost, for evermore.<br /><br />Amen.</blockquote>Good wishes to all in this time of preparation. AMDG.

Back to Bangui, to further emphasize the core of the Holy Year observance, following the Mass Papa Bergoglio will hear an undisclosed number of Confessions from young people as part of a prayer service outside the African cathedral. While Francis' celebration of the sacrament he cites <a href="http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2014/03/in-confessional-penitent-pope.html">with the greatest frequency</a> – and, indeed, urgency – is a standard part of his visits to Roman parishes, he's only taken up in the confessional once before while on an overseas trip: during the 2013 World Youth Day in Rio, keeping the practice for the mega-event begun by his predecessor.<br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PBgILY2l_5w/VlsMzlainHI/AAAAAAAASGI/maNuRz8KRgU/s1600/f1psp.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PBgILY2l_5w/VlsMzlainHI/AAAAAAAASGI/maNuRz8KRgU/s400/f1psp.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span>Underscoring the significance of all this, it's hard to recall the last time a Pope's been on the road for the beginning of Advent and its beginning of the liturgical year. Then again, with what's likely to be the most ambitious initiative of his entire papacy just days away from its start, the "new year" opening today is just the prelude.<br /><br /><b>-30-</b></span>

Little advance notice was given to us, so we could not publicize it in this column in time. The second of two shows filmed in Miami, this program has a special focus on the young. Our first guest is Aramis Perez, one of the leaders of Juventútem Miami, the local chapter of the international young adults’ group devoted to the Tridentine Mass. Aramis gives us some background on the activities of his chapter, including Masses at churches around metro Miami and social events similar to those offered by our local chapter, Juventútem Michigan. <br /><br />Our crew dropped in on a local coffee shop, where the “Juventúters” give us some background on themselves and on their Dogma on Draft discussion group. <br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.windsorlatinmass.org/pertin/MJG1253.jpg" /></center><br /> Three young ladies explain to our viewers the tradition of women covering their heads for Mass with lace mantillas. Next we speak with a panel of converts, including a young couple who decided to become Catholic after happening to wander into a Latin Mass in Oxford, England. <br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.windsorlatinmass.org/pertin/MCP4123.jpg" /></center><br /> Latin Mass luminary Dr. Jennifer Donelson shares her experience with the Miami Tridentine Community. Jenny is already known to Extraordinary Faith viewers for having organized the Church Music Association of America conference in St. Paul, Minnesota, which we featured in Episode 3. [Jenny has since been appointed Director of Sacred Music at St. Joseph Seminary, Dunwoodie, New York.] We drop in on a sonically impressive rehearsal of Jenny’s choir, held at Miami’s Cathedral of St. Mary. <br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.windsorlatinmass.org/pertin/MLMG1423.jpg" /></center><br /> Our last stop is Miami’s St. John Vianney College Seminary, where we meet several seminarians who share with us how the traditions of the Church impact their pursuit of a vocation to the priesthood. <br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.windsorlatinmass.org/pertin/SJVS132.jpg" /></center><br /> Both Miami episodes – 6 & 7 – will be available for viewing by December 5 on the Episode pages of our web site, <a href="http://www.extraordinaryfaith.tv">www.extraordinaryfaith.tv</a>.

<p><img src="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/images/size340/Pope_Francis_arrives_in_the_Central_African_Republic_Nov_29_2015_Credit_Martha_Calderon_CNA.jpg" /><p>Bangui, Central African Republic, Nov 29, 2015 / 04:39 am (<a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com" target="_self">CNA/EWTN News</a>).- After landing in the war-torn Central African Republic, Pope Francis urged the country’s leaders to work for peace and reconciliation, particularly through disarmament and a stable administration.<br />
<br />
“As the Central African Republic progressively moves, in spite of difficulties, towards the normalization of its social and political life…I come as a pilgrim of peace and an apostle of hope,” the Pope said Nov. 29.<br />
<br />
He praised the efforts made by both national and international authorities in working to find a solution to current tensions, and expressed his hope that the country’s coming elections would allow the CAR “to embark serenely on new chapter of its history.”<br />
<br />
Pope Francis landed in the Central African capitol of Bangui the morning of Nov. 29. His Nov. 29-30 visit to CAR comes at the end of a larger tour of the African continent that also took him to Kenya and Uganda, and falls just one month ahead of the country’s presidential and parliamentary elections.<br />
<br />
The CAR is the riskiest trip Francis has made since his election, since it marks the first time <a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/the-pope-in-a-war-zone-what-his-visit-means-to-central-african-republic-97347/">he steps into an active warzone</a>.<br />
<br />
The majority of tensions began in late 2012 when several bands of mainly Muslim rebel groups formed an alliance, taking the name Seleka. They left their strongholds in the north of the country and made their way south, seizing power from then-president Francois Bozize.<br />
<br />
Since then, fear, uncertainty and violence have swept over the country in a conflict that has so far left some 6,000 people dead.<br />
<br />
The country will hold both presidential and parliamentary elections Dec. 27, after they were postponed in October due to violence and instability. Interim president Catherine Samba-Panza, who has so far struggled to keep peace, will not be a candidate.<br />
<br />
The last pontiff to visit the CAR was St. John Paul II in 1985, as part of a larger trip to Togo, the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Zaire and Kenya.<br />
<br />
In his remarks to the country’s authorities, Francis recalled the Central African motto “unity-dignity-labor,” which he said is a “sure compass” by which the authorities can guide the future of the country.<br />
<br />
The Pope said unity is a cardinal virtue in maintaining harmony among peoples, and must be built on diversity while avoiding the temptation “of fear of others, of the unfamiliar, of what is not part of our ethnic group, our political views or our religious confession.”<br />
<br />
Rather than fear, unity “calls for creating and promoting a synthesis of the richness which each person has to offer.”<br />
<br />
Francis also spoke on the importance of upholding the dignity of each person, and referred to the Central African axiom “Zo kwe zo,” meaning that in the country “everybody is somebody.”<br />
<br />
“Each person has dignity,” he said, explaining that everything possible must be done in order to protect the dignity and status of the human person.<br />
<br />
Part of upholding this dignity means that those who enjoy decent living look for ways to help the poor attain better living conditions rather than seeking privileges for themselves, he said, noting the importance of access to education, healthcare, decent housing and the fight against malnutrition.<br />
<br />
Pope Francis also spoke on the importance of labor, and encouraged Central Africans to make wise use of the country’s resources, particularly its rich biodiversity.<br />
<br />
He stressed the need for public authorities to maintain “upright conduct and administration,” in their duties. They must be “the first to embody consistently the values of unity, dignity and labor, serving as models for their compatriots,” he said.<br />
<br />
Calling to mind the role of evangelization in the country, Francis greeted his brother bishops, and assured the Church’s closeness in promoting the common good, particularly through efforts toward peace and reconciliation.<br />
<br />
The Pope closed by encouraging both the international community as well as local authorities to work for solidarity and the advancement of the country, “especially in the areas of reconciliation, disarmament, peacekeeping, health care and the cultivation of a sound administration at all levels.”<br />
<br />
He praised the CAR’s natural and cultural richness, and prayed that the people Central Africa as well as its leaders and partners, would “always appreciate the value of these gifts by working ceaselessly for unity, human dignity and a peace based on justice.”<br />
<br />
In a symbolic gesture, Pope Francis is set to jump-start the Jubilee of Mercy by <a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pope-francis-to-open-banguis-holy-door-while-in-central-african-republic-99621/">opening the diocese of Bangui’s Holy Door</a> during Mass the evening of Nov. 29.<br />
<br />
Though the Jubilee for Mercy doesn’t begin until Dec. 8, Pope Francis has decided to open the Holy Door in the Central African Republic’s capital 10 days early as a sign of prayer and solidarity with the war-torn nation.<br /><br /></p><img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/catholicnewsagency/dailynews-vatican/~4/ipJinL7BzTA" width="1" />

<p><a href="http://www.philipkosloski.com/why-the-devil-hates-sacred-music/" target="_blank">Why the devil hates sacred music. To quote</a>:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">After listening to Palestrina, Peter Kreeft realized the power of sacred music and it propelled him further into the arms of the Catholic Church. This little episode reveals to us that there is something about sacred music that speaks to the soul and stirs within us a deeper longing for Heaven. Sacred music is very powerful and speaks to anyone who has ears to hear.<br /><br />Suffice to say, there is no sacred music in Hell. </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">Music has been a vital part of society for thousands of years. For example, “Plato based his whole ‘ideal’ society, in <i>The Republic</i>, on its educational system, and he <b>based the whole educational system on music as its first step</b>” (<i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RWRPLMQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00RWRPLMQ&linkCode=as2&tag=intthewes-20&linkId=ILTGY52HLTW4CWCP">The Snakebite Letters</a></i>, 61, emphasis added). Plato esteemed music so much that he said a society would erode “<b>first through a decay in music</b>” (Ibid.).<br /><br />The reason why music is able influence society so much is on account of its ability to bypass reason. As humans, we “don’t think about it, [we] just feel it” (Ibid, 62). The most powerful music goes even further, through our feelings and into the “<b>deep center of the soul.</b>” (Ibid).<br /><br />Many throughout the centuries have converted to Christianity through music; more specifically “sacred music,” the music of the Church. There is even a tradition that God created the world through music, which Tolkien eloquently portrayed in his fictional tale <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0544338014/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0544338014&linkCode=as2&tag=intthewes-20&linkId=NNCOHKPGVSORVK2F">The Silmarillion</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=intthewes-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0544338014" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></i>. Similarly, music is thought to be the “language of Heaven” (Ibid).<br /><br /><b>This is why the devil hates sacred music so much. </b>It reaches the depths of our soul and raises us up to the Heaven. It should be no surprise to us when a parish’s sacred music program is single-handedly dismantled. He will do all he can to prevent us from hearing the Divine Voice of God.<a href="http://www.philipkosloski.com/why-the-devil-hates-sacred-music/" target="_blank"> (Read more</a>.)</blockquote>

I always thought that. Though Courage uses the 12-Step approach - it is not a 12-Step program. Courage members have told me it is not about orientation change.<br /><br />That said, it sure sounds as if those associated with the Apostolate are focusing more and more on treatment, therapy, and/or reparative techniques. Case in point, an interesting essay by Mark Latkovic at Crisis. Latkovic is Professor of Moral Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. Janet Smith teaches there as well. Both have Courage connections. Latkovic's essay is titled, <i><a href="http://www.crisismagazine.com/2015/using-modern-science-to-treat-homosexuality">Using Modern Science to Treat Homosexuality.</a></i><br /><br />That might come as a surprise to many gay Catholics. <br /><br />For those who have deep seated conflicts regarding homosexual attraction, tendency, acting out or fantasy, I see nothing wrong with strongly motivated men and women seeking psychological counselling, even some sort of therapy to overcome disordered sexual appetites, compulsive behavior, sexual-addiction, what have you. Even if so desired, to change and find wholeness in and through natural love and marriage and family. It can happen. <br /><br />I'm not sure all that many gay people are motivated to do that however - and the idea of therapy and psychological intervention may not be something everyone wants, feels a need for, or can afford. I always like to point that out, especially to professional Catholics. Insurance may not cover it, and someone living in poverty or scraping by day to day, may not have access to such middle class luxuries. Likewise, some people may not have the desire to go through all of that. <br /><br />As I see it, Christ's call to conversion doesn't come with strings attached, or some prerequisite for medical/psychological intervention. For many decades there have been confessors and spiritual directors passing the buck of pastoral care to psychologists, group therapy, and/or psychotropic medications. Likewise, not a few bishops and religious superiors sent their gay priests to therapy to fix all sorts of sexual disorders - to little or no avail. <br /><br />The reality is that science hasn't treated homos much better than the Catholic Church.<br /><br />It would be a sad situation if Courage Apostolate sells gay people short by relying on 'science' as opposed to grace and the sacraments, spiritual direction, friendship and support. The Church is fully equipped to deal with sinners. The scientific strategy may work for parents and under-aged kids in their formative years - or maybe even in seminary formation. (I think Latkovic is at the same seminary where bathrobes were mentioned as a precaution to avoid leading latent SSA seminarians into temptation.) I had a friend in a seminary where he saw a psychologist regularly for 'therapy' and counselling. The friend didn't stay, and the therapy didn't change anything. An isolated incident of course, but generally speaking, adult gay men and women are not going to be attracted to the Gospel if they think they have to go through some sort of therapy first. While very few, if any will welcome the idea that they are mentally ill and require treatment.<br /><br />Just saying.<br /><br /><br /></div>

<p>From <a href="http://the-toast.net/2015/11/12/convert-series-leah-libresco/" target="_blank"><i>The Toast</i></a>:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Both my parents don’t believe in God, so I was raised as an atheist. We had a Christmas tree, but my parents were definitely upfront about the fact that they thought religions weren’t true. I was the kid in high school who worked to get us to stop doing a toy drive for Samaritan’s Purse (which uses the toys to evangelize to poor children). And, post-conversion, I still think that’s a wildly inappropriate charity for a public school to partner with.<br /><br /><div class="ad ad-squareplus ad-side"> <div class="inner" id="ad-squareplus-1"> </div></div>I grew up on Long Island, where the vast majority of my classmates were secular Jews, so between that and my family, I thought of religion as something that was not only wrong, but wrong enough to be below the level of hypothesis that deserve attention. Most of the time, when I encountered religion, it was in the news, when some religiously-informed policy intruded on the lives of people like me (like evangelicals fighting evolution in public schools).<br /><br /> College was the first place I encountered a Christianity I couldn’t casually dismiss. I joined the Political Union as a freshman (a debating group where you only argue what you actually believe and there are no points and no judges – you “win” by changing other people’s minds or your own). I tended to gravitate to the most interesting “wrong” people I could find, and that was definitely the Catholic and Orthodox Christians.<br /><br /> A lot of the counter-apologetics I knew were of the Dawkins-<i>God Delusion</i> type – targeted toward biblical literalists, God-of-the-Gaps people. And they didn’t apply to my new friends.<br /> So, I didn’t think they were <i>right</i>, but I knew I had to do more reading to convince them they were wrong, and that’s how I actually starting reading people like Chesterton and Lewis.<a href="http://the-toast.net/2015/11/12/convert-series-leah-libresco/" target="_blank"> (Read more</a>.)</blockquote>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">As Advent begins. From n 35 of <a href="http://goo.gl/kBmWbR">that great meditation</a> on hope and faith:</span><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-size: large;">... Only the great certitude of hope that my own life and history in general, despite all failures, are held firm by the indestructible power of Love, and that this gives them their meaning and importance, only this kind of hope can then give the courage to act and to persevere. Certainly we cannot “build” the Kingdom of God by our own efforts—what we build will always be the kingdom of man with all the limitations proper to our human nature. The Kingdom of God is a gift, and precisely because of this, it is great and beautiful, and constitutes the response to our hope. And we cannot—to use the classical expression— </span><span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;">merit” Heaven through our works. Heaven is always more than we could merit, just as being loved is never something “merited”, but always a gift. However, even when we are fully aware that Heaven far exceeds what we can merit, it will always be true that our behaviour is not indifferent before God and therefore is not indifferent for the unfolding of history. We can open ourselves and the world and allow God to enter: we can open ourselves to truth, to love, to what is good. This is what the saints did, those who, as “God's fellow workers”, contributed to the world's salvation (cf. 1 Cor 3:9; 1 Th 3:2). We can free our life and the world from the poisons and contaminations that could destroy the present and the future. We can uncover the sources of creation and keep them unsullied, and in this way we can make a right use of creation, which comes to us as a gift, according to its intrinsic requirements and ultimate purpose. This makes sense even if outwardly we achieve nothing or seem powerless in the face of overwhelming hostile forces. So on the one hand, our actions engender hope for us and for others; but at the same time, it is the great hope based upon God's promises that gives us courage and directs our action in good times and bad.</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">I wish for all who may read this a blessed and peaceful Advent!</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">*§*§*§*</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Have discovered <a href="http://usuarium.elte.hu/">Usuarium</a> ('A Digital Library and Database for the Study of Latin Liturgical History')</span><span style="font-size: large;">, via one of Dr DiPippo's posts some days ago </span><a href="http://goo.gl/mgGrDO" style="font-size: x-large;">at New Liturgical Movement</a><span style="font-size: large;">, and spent an hour earlier browsing through a late 19th c reprint of an edition of the Sarum breviary from 1531, although it appears that only the volume including the calendar and the </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">proprium de tempore</i><span style="font-size: large;"> is online. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">servitium plenum</i><span style="font-size: large;"> of the Blessed Virgin and the scheme of </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">memoriae</i><span style="font-size: large;"> and commemorations at first glance makes the Roman Breviary's use seem simple and straightforward.... </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I restrained myself from spending (or perhaps wasting) more time there but, good heavens, there is a wealth of editions of missals and breviaries available.

<div class="itemdescription">
<p>First, here's Bishop Barron, sounding more like a Mennonite pacifist than a Catholic moralist:<br /><br /> <center></center><br />Next, here's Maureen Mullarkey on "<a href="http://studiomatters.com/bishop-barron-on-paris">Bishop Barron on Paris</a>" (<i>Studio Matters</i>, November 27, 2015). Mullarkey's piece is more a response to responses to her earlier piece, "<a href="http://www.onepeterfive.com/the-incredible-shrinking-bishop-barron/">The Incredible Shrinking Bishop Barron</a>" (<i>One Peter Five</i>, November 23, 2015), in which she had written:<blockquote><i>The massacre aroused no outrage, not even a wince of distaste. . . . [Bp Barron] found the atrocity “especially poignant” because he had studied in Paris for three years. And because he remembered some of the locations involved, the attacks were “moving and poignant.”</i></blockquote>Mullarkey comments: "<i>Moving. Poignant</i>. Had the bishop been watching a film version of the death of Little Nell? The sentiment, and the genial detachment it signified, seemed a bizarre reaction to the slaughter and maiming of scores of innocent Parisians." Then, quoting from the earlier article, she writes: "The syrup thickened":<blockquote><i>He glided on to a serene tutorial on mercy, on the obligation to “respond to violence with love,” and “to fight hatred with love.” He enjoined Catholics to mercy and “a non-violent stance.” . . . This time on camera, he confused Paris in 2015 with Selma, Alabama, in 1965.</i></blockquote>Mullarkey concludes her latest piece with these words: "Bishop Barron has an influential platform. If he uses it to promote confusion between Christian love—caritas—and dispassion in the face of the murderous ambitions of Christianity’s oldest enemy, then he will be evangelizing for evil. No matter the Christ talk." <br /><br />Was Bp Barron imprudent in his remarks? Was Mullarkey overly harsh? You decide. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBdcQmZ9TBc">Guy Noir's</a> only words were: "... the syrup gets thicker. But as I said, certainly the Bishop's lines are the Church's now standard lines!"

<span class="itemfrom">[<a href="http://branemrys.blogspot.com/">Siris</a>]</span>
</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<blockquote>A purely verbal dispute is of course a dispute that arises solely from a misunderstanding about the meaning of words, where there is no difference of view as to facts between the disputants : the sort of dispute which the Scholastics sought to avoid by enforcing the maxim, Initium disputandi, definitio nominis. Logicians have held the most widely divergent views about the extent of such disputes, some maintaining, with Locke, "that the greatest part of the disputes in the world are merely verbal," others, with De Quincey, that "they have never in the whole course of their lives met with such a thing as a merely verbal dispute." The truth lies much nearer the latter extreme than the former, for when different people attach different meanings to the same term the cause of such difference of usage will almost invariably be found to be a difference of view about facts.</blockquote><br />Peter Coffey, <i>The Science of Logic: An Inquiry into the Principles of Accurate Thought and Scientific Method</i>, Volume I: Conception, Judgment, and Inference, Peter Smith (New York: 1938) <a href="https://archive.org/stream/thescienceoflogi01coffuoft#page/102/mode/2up">p. 103</a>.<br /><br />Anyone who has engaged in a significant number of arguments realizes just how much effort has to go into getting onto the same terminological page even in fairly simple arguments. But for all that, I incline to the De Quincey view myself. In general, I think, verbal disputes, to the extent that they exist, tend to be about stipulations or about classifications. But arguments about purely stipulated labels, while all about words, can generally be traced to a difference in views about how language works or about how most people will interpret it or about what would be most practically useful; and disputes about classification are never <i>merely</i> verbal, since they are about how facts fit with other facts. If you have a "purely verbal dispute" it always seems to be a sign that the parties involved have only argued even their own positions very superficially. If people are not on the same page, there are generally identifiable reasons why they are not; it's just that finding them requires tracing back the argument to its roots. If this weren't the case, one would expect verbal disputes to be resolvable by bare agreement to use words in the same way; but in fact the resolution of verbal disputes always requires a better understanding of the issues at stake.

<span class="itemfrom">[<a href="http://blog.adw.org">Community in Mission</a>]</span>
</p>
<div class="itemdescription">
<p><a href="http://blog.adw.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Blog11-28.png"><img alt="Blog11-28" class="alignright size-full wp-image-34371" height="239" src="http://blog.adw.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Blog11-28.png" width="360" /></a>As the Advent season begins, we are immediately drawn into its principle theme of preparation and readiness for the coming of the Lord. The first coming of the Lord has already been fulfilled at Bethlehem. And while we should prepare spiritually for the coming Christmas Feast, these first weeks of Advent bid us to focus even more on the Second Coming of the Lord in glory.</p>
<p><b>Thus, as the curtains draw back on the opening scenes of Advent, we are warned by the Lord </b>that He will come on the clouds with great power and glory and that we must be prepared. He says, <i>Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man</i>.</p>
<p><b>Today’s gospel is taken from the Mt. Olivet discourse. As we saw two weeks ago, </b>the historical context in which the Lord was speaking was not that of the end of the world, but of the destruction of the Temple and of Jerusalem. For those ancient Jews, however, it <i>was</i> the end of the world as they knew it. The destruction of Ancient Jerusalem is also symbolic of the end of the world. The world will end for us either by our own death or by His coming to us in the Second Coming. Whatever the personal context will be for us, the message is the same: be ready!</p>
<p><b>Let’s study this gospel in two stages, and then heed its message.</b></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><b>I. DOUBLE VISION</b></span> – The gospel opens with a description of tribulations that are about to come on the land. But in that description there is a twofold reaction that is described. Note first the tribulation that is described and then the first of two reactions that are intertwined with it:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b><i>There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory</i></b>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>The political powers will be confused and in dismay.</b> Fixed points in this world such as the sun, moon, stars, sea, and land will be shaken. This will cause many to be frightened, shocked, and bewildered. And thus is described the reaction of one group of human beings.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>But not all human beings react in this way.</b> There is a second reaction that is prescribed and described:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b><i>But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.</i></b></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>Yes, this a very different reaction</b>: one of expectant joy and serene confidence. And so we see here a kind of double vision.</p>
<ol style="padding-left: 60px;">
<li>Some cry out with fear and say “He is wrathful!” Others with faith say, “He is wonderful!”</li>
<li>To some He is frightening, to others He is fabulous.</li>
<li>To some these events are awful, to others they are awe-inspiring.</li>
<li>Some shout, “Horror on every side!” Others sing, “Hallelujah to the King of Kings!”</li>
</ol>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>Thus, there is the dread of the defeated and the delight of the delivered.</b></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Of those who experience dread, other Scriptures say,</p>
<ol style="padding-left: 60px;">
<li><i>Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, every one who pierced him; and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen</i> (Rev 1:7).</li>
<li><i>Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”</i> (Rev 6:15-17)</li>
</ol>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Of those who experience delight, other Scriptures say,</p>
<ol style="padding-left: 60px;">
<li><i>He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!</i> (Rev 22:20)</li>
<li><i>Come, O Lord! </i>(1 Cor 16:22)</li>
<li><i>Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book</i> (Rev 22:7).</li>
<li><i>He who is coming will come and will not delay. My righteous will live by faith….we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved</i> (Hebrews 10:37, 39).</li>
<li><i>In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us</i> (Rom 8:37).</li>
<li><i>Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall</i> (Malachi 4:1-2).</li>
</ol>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>Yes, it is a kind of double vision</b>: two very different experiences of the same reality. The difference, as we shall see, is that between sin and grace, and with which “army” we have allied ourselves.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>As an example of this “double vision,” consider the Civil War.</b> As with any war, the issues leading up to it were complex, but it is simply not possible to remove from the mix the egregious injustice and sin of slavery. As the Northern troops swept (often ruthlessly) through the South there were some who saw only destruction and conquest. But there were others who saw something very different. An old spiritual from the time said,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><i>Oh the slave folk say, “Ho! Ho!<br />
And the master says, “Oh No!”<br />
And it must be now that the kingdom’s coming<br />
In the year of Jubilo!</i></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">So for some, it was the definitive end to power and the South they knew. To others, it meant vindication and freedom.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In order for us to celebrate on that day when the Lord comes, there are prerequisites that must first be met. And that leads us to the next stage of today’s gospel.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><b>II. DIRECTIVES</b> </span>– The Lord continues on, instructing us in how to be ready for the great and terrible day of the Lord:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b><i>Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man</i></b>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><b>And herein the Lord gives us five basic directives of things to avoid</b> and practices to adopt in order that we be ready and able to greet Him in all His glory. Notice that the Lord announces the effect (drowsiness) and <i>then</i> the causes. This is typical of ancient practice. In modern times, however, it is more common to speak of the causes and then describe the effects. Hence, we will proceed with our study in a slightly different order than that in which it was presented.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>1. DEBAUCHERY</b></span> – In the text, the Lord warns of the problem of “carousing.” The Greek word used is κραιπάλῃ (<i>kraipale</i>), which refers to the giddiness and headache caused by drinking wine to excess. More generally it means the excessive indulgence of all of our passions, or of living life to excess. Other translators render this word as “dissipation,” referring to the general squandering of resources that results from overindulgence.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>We, of course, live in times in which our every need is (over)supplied.</b> There is much opportunity for excess. At the market there is not merely bread, there are fifty different types of bread. Our oversupply and overindulgence are literally reflected in our bodies: obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease plague us.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>And it is not just food that is excessive</b>; it is everything. We are excessively busy with the nonessentials of life. There are innumerable ways to occupy our minds. Our minds are so overstimulated that we cannot hear that “still, small voice.” Most people have a very short attention span due to this overstimulation. All day long the noise from the radio, mp3 player, TV, DVD player, CD, PC, iPad, and/or cell phone vies for our attention. It jams our mind and breaks our union with Christ and even with our very self. And then there are the 24-hour news channels generating hype about even ordinary events: “Breaking news!” Our e-mail is flooded with junk mail and spam, offering false hopes, and products and services we don’t really need. There are endless money-making schemes, lotteries, and sweepstakes. And oh, the sales: Black Friday, Cyber Monday, pre-holiday, post-holiday! It makes me think of the carnival hucksters calling, “Step right up!” But it is worse than that because it seems since we cannot get away from it.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>We spend, spend, spend and then borrow, borrow, borrow to support our spending.</b> We need two incomes and a 60-hour work week so that we can afford our lifestyle. And once we have acquired “the goods,” we’re never there to enjoy them. We sacrifice family on the altar of pleasure. We have an excess of everything except children, because they cost money and thus impede our ability to consume.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>Even our recreation is excessive.</b> Our weekends and vacations often leave us exhausted, disquieted, and unprepared for the coming week. A simple, quiet weekend, reflecting on God’s wonders, or spending time at home with family? No way! It’s off to watch the myriad activities of our overscheduled children. The weekends meant for rest instead feature distinctly unrestful activities such as shopping, dancing in loud bars, watching football games, and drinking.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>Yes, it’s all excess. </b>It weighs us down, wearies us, costs a lot of time and money, and isn’t really all that satisfying anyway. It is dissipation. In the end, we are left with something like that headache and hung over feeling of which the Greek word <i>kraipale</i> speaks. But up goes the cry anyway: “More! One more round!” Excess, dissipation, surfeiting, carousing; more, more, more!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>2. DIVISIONS</b></span> – The Lord warns of the “anxieties” of daily life. The Greek word used is μερίμναις (<i>merimnais</i>) meaning more literally “a part separated from the whole,” “that which divides and fractures a person into parts.” And thus we see the human person, overwhelmed with excess, incapable of distinguishing the urgent from the important, the merely pleasurable from the productive. On account of our overstimulation, our excess, we are pulled in many different directions. We can’t decide; our loyalties are divided and conflicting. We are endlessly distracted by a thousand contrary drives and concerns.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>Anxiety is the condition of being overwhelmed and divided by many and contrary drives, demands, and priorities.</b> Anxiety freezes and perplexes us. There is too much at stake and no central governing principle to direct our decisions. All of this overwhelms us and clouds our mind and heart. We are anxious about many things and cannot determine the “one thing necessary” that will order all of the details (cf Luke 10:42). This is anxiety and the Lord enumerates it as among those things that destroy our readiness to stand before Him with joy.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>3. DRUNKENNESS</b></span> – Here the Greek word use is very straightforward: μέθῃ (<i>methe</i>), meaning drunk on wine. But why do we drink? Frankly we drink to medicate our anxiety. Overwhelmed by the excess that leads to anxiety (inner division and conflict) we drink to medicate our sense of being overwhelmed. We need something to soothe us. And instead of slowing down and seeking God, we drink. We anesthetize our mind. And it is not only alcohol that we use. We use things, people, power, sex, entertainment, diversions, and distractions; all to soothe our tense, anxious mind.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">This of course only deepens the central problem. For all these things only add to the very problem that has disturbed us in the first place: the <i>kraipale </i>that is excess and dissipation. The solution is to get clear about our priorities, to seek God and allow Him to order our life. But instead of seeking a clear mind, we do the opposite and tune out. A little wine is a gift from God (cf Psalm 104:15) to cheer our hearts. But with excess, we go beyond cheer to dull our mind.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>To be sober is to have a clear mind, </b>one that knows and is in touch with reality and final ends. To be sober is to be alert, honest, and reasonable; to act in a way that bespeaks thoughtful and deliberate movement toward a rational and worthy goal. The sober person acts consciously and with purpose toward a unifying goal: being with God. St. Paul says, <i>But this one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus</i> (Phil 3:13-14).</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>Lacking the one unifying thing, torn apart within, and anxious </b>on account of our excesses, we dull our mind with alcohol. The Lord calls us to clarity but we retreat into insobriety. We are, in effect, “hung over” from indulging in the excesses of this world and then “medicating” the resulting inner divisions. Our minds go dull and we tune out.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>4. DROWSINESS</b></span> – The Lord says, <b>Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy</b>. The Greek word used here is βαρηθῶσιν (<i>barethosin</i>), meaning “burdened, heavily laden, overcome, or weighted down.” And thus we see that the effect that all of the above things have is to weigh us down, to burden our heart. Laden with excess, divided by contrary demands, and medicating the stress with insobriety, our heart becomes tired and burdened. Our heart is no longer inflamed and animated with love. It has become weary, distracted, bored, and tired of holy things and of the Lord. Instead of being watchful in prayer, our heart sleeps on, weighed down in sin, excess, division, and insobriety. It no longer keeps watch for the Lord, whom it is called to love.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>Yes, the world and our sinful preoccupation with it weighs our heart down</b>. It captures our love and attention and we become drowsy toward spiritual things.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><b>In the garden, the Lord asked the Apostles to pray. </b>But they had spent their energy that evening arguing with Jesus and debating among themselves about who was greatest. Divided within, they wanted Jesus, but they also wanted the world and its fame and power. Struck by the conflict and tension that Jesus’ words about suffering and dying brought, they were divided and anxious. And so they medicated it all and tuned out. They likely had more than a few drinks of wine that night. Weighed down and exhausted by worldly preoccupations and priorities, their burdened hearts were too drowsy to pray; so they slept. (But Satan did not sleep that night.)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">Consider the words of Jesus to the Church at Ephesus: <i>You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place</i> (Rev 2:5-6). Jesus also warns, <i>Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold</i> (Mat 24:12). Yes, sinful indulgence divides and stresses us. Since it is too much we tune out and dull our mind, and thus our heart grows cold, burdened, and heavy with sin. Heavy and weary, our heart goes to sleep and we lose our first love. Jesus described the pattern: <i>Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap</i>. This is the cycle.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">What are we to do about this awful cycle?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>5. DUE DILIGENCE</b></span> – The Lord says, <b><i>Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man</i></b><i>.</i></p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">The Lord does not describe this terrible cycle of debauchery (excess), division (anxiety), drunkenness (self-medication), and drowsiness (heavy hearts) merely to define the problem. Having diagnosed our condition, He prescribes the remedy of prayerful vigilance.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">To be vigilantly prayerful is to be in living, conscious contact with God. It is to have our heart and mind focused on the one thing necessary (<i>cf</i> Lk 10:42), and thus to have our life ordered. With this order properly established, our excesses fall away, and the many associated anxieties and divisions depart. Once they are gone, we no longer need to medicate and soothe our anxious mind. This lightens our heart; its heaviness goes away.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">Once we have set our sights on God through vigilant prayer, everything else in our life becomes ordered. And then when Christ comes, He will not disrupt our world, but confirm what we are already used to: Jesus Christ as the center and meaning of our life.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">Through prayerful vigilance we can <i>stand erect and raise [our] head because [our] redemption is at hand</i>. Why? Because we are used to seeing Him and experiencing His authority. He thus comes not to destroy and usurp our disordered life, but to confirm and fulfill what has always been true for us: that Jesus is the center of our life.</p>

<p><img src="http://image.catholicnews.com/imagehandler/photos/2015/11/28/20151128T1316-15-CNS-POPE-UGANDA_310.jpg" /><p>IMAGE: CNS/Paul Haring</p><p></p><p>By Cindy Wooden</p><p>KAMPALA, Uganda (CNS) -- As Pope Francis encouraged Ugandan
Christians to draw inspiration from the 19th-century Ugandan Martyrs, he
carried with him graphic images of the horrors the 45 Anglican and Catholic
martyrs endured.</p>
<p>The pope made an early morning visit Nov. 28 to the Anglican
shrine and museum located on the site where many of the martyrs died. The main
exhibit features realistic statues of men being tortured, bound and thrown on a
fire.</p>
<p>Pope Francis had a look of shock on his face as Anglican
Archbishop Stanley Ntagali of Uganda explained how the martyrs were executed on
the orders of King Mwanga II in the late 1800s.</p>
<p>Afterward, the pope celebrated a Mass outside the nearby
Catholic shrine to the martyrs. The shrine has an artificial lake, and Ugandan
security patrolled it in a little rubber boat throughout the liturgy.</p>
<p>In his homily, Pope Francis honored all the martyrs, noting
that they shared the same faith in Jesus and they offer a witness to "the
ecumenism of blood."</p>
<p>Honoring the martyrs is not something to be done only on
their feast day, he said, but must be done daily through upright behavior and
loving care for others in the family, the neighborhood, at work and in society.</p>
<p>Keeping one's eyes focused on God, he said, "does not
diminish our concern for this world, as if we only look to the life to come.
Instead, it gives purpose to our lives in this world and helps us to reach out
to those in need, to cooperate with others for the common good and to build a
more just society which promotes human dignity, defends God's gift of life and
protects the wonders of nature, his creation and our common home."</p>
<p>Heartbreaking modern challenges to faith led Pope Francis
to abandon the text he had prepared for an afternoon meeting with Ugandan
youths. Instead, he tried to respond directly to the young woman and young man
who addressed him, although the effort was plagued by technical problems with
the microphone.</p>
<p>Winnie Nansumba, 24, told the pope she was born HIV-positive
and, "as a young woman, I always found it hard to fall in love because I
thought I didn't have a right to love and be loved."</p>
<p>In the end, she said, she decided to use her story to teach
other youths about HIV and AIDS, particularly that "we must respect our
life and that of others," changing behavior to prevent the spread of the
disease.</p>
<p>"Take charge of your life and know your (HIV)
status," she told the estimated 150,000 youths gathered at the Kololo
airstrip to see the pope. "AIDS is real, but it can be prevented and
managed."</p>
<p>More than 7 percent of Ugandan adults are HIV-positive and
tens of thousands continue to be infected each year. According to U.N. AIDS,
because of sexual violence and lack of access to education, young women are
particularly in danger in Uganda. U.N. figures estimate that 4.2 percent of
Ugandan women aged 15-24 are HIV-positive while 2.4 percent of men that age
are.</p>
<p>Pope Francis did not speak specifically about AIDS or its
prevention, but he spoke instead about overcoming despair and depression and fighting
for one's life.</p>
<p>He also went on at length about courage, referring both to
Nansumba and to Emmanuel Odokonyero, who had talked about being kidnapped by
the rebel Lord's Resistance Army in 2003, tortured and escaping after three
months.</p>
<p>From the late 1980s and for more than 20 years, the Lord's
Resistance Army terrorized Uganda, kidnapping thousands of children and forcing
hundreds of thousands of people to seek safety in camps for displaced persons.</p>
<p>"In your veins, the blood of martyrs flows," the
pope told the two youths. "That is why your faith is so strong."</p>
<p>The pope urged the young people to find positive challenges
in the negative events of their lives, to trust Jesus to transform their
suffering into joy and to turn to Mary when experiencing pain, just like a
child runs to his or her mother after falling and getting hurt.</p>
<p>In the early evening, the pope visited the House of Charity
in Kampala's Nalukolongo neighborhood; the Good Shepherd Sisters run a home
there for 102 elderly and people with severe disabilities. The residents range
in age from 11 years to 107 years, said Bishop Robert Muhiirwa of Fort Portal,
chair of the Ugandan bishops' health commission.</p>
<p>"Our families need to become ever more evident signs of
God's patient and merciful love, not only for our children and elders, but for
all those in need," the pope said. "Our parishes must not close their
doors or their ears to the cry of the poor. This is the royal road of Christian
discipleship."</p>
<p>Meeting with Uganda's priests, religious and seminarians 11
hours after his day had begun, Pope Francis spoke about the importance of
remembering the martyrs by witnessing to the faith like they did, by remaining
faithful to their vocations and by praying.</p>
<p>The pope publicly thanked the Good Shepherd Sisters for the
"example of fidelity" they showed him at the House of Charity,
"fidelity to the poor, the infirm and the disabled because Christ is
there."</p>
<p>Ugandan soil, "bathed by the blood of martyrs,"
always will need new witnesses to faith, he told the priests and religious.</p>

And here is the time of pardon; the day of salvation has come already."<br /><br />The verses set out prophesies of the coming of Jesus, his rejection by the Jews, and his mission of freeing mankind, imprisoned by sin. Above all it talks of his mercy on the people who have fallen away.<br /><br />While the verses given here talk about the redemption of Israel, the verse immediately preceding it makes it clear that his mission is a universal one:<br /><br />"...I have appointed thee to be the light of the Gentiles, in thee I will send out my salvation to the furthest corners of the earth."</div></div>
