4th Sunday of Lent @ Ss. Francis & Clare

HOMILY 4TH SUNDAY OF LENT
MARCH 25/26, 2022


Today is the 4th Sunday of Lent.

We’re past the half-way point of the six weeks of Lent. The vestments are rose-colored as a sign … giving us an opportunity to re-evaluate our Lenten practices. Are we being too hard on ourselves? Or have we missed out on the past 25 days, and maybe need to step up our game.

Today is known as “Laetare” Sunday, from the first word of the Entrance Antiphon, which begins, “Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her. * Be joyful, all who were in mourning; * exult,” taken from chapter 66 of the Prophet Isaiah.


Also, today, we heard the Gospel reading of the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

I spoke about this on Ash Wednesday, borrowing the acronym AHA to give us a formula for repentance: Awakening, Honestly, and Action as a means to change our spiritual situation for the better.

That lengthy reading, which is most likely almost too familiar to us, presumes some things that may escape us 2,000 years after its first telling.

In the Jewish inheritance laws, the older son gets double what his siblings get. So, in this case of the two sons, the younger Son made off with one-third of the Father’s estate. Oddly, this is not only legal – to request your inheritance before your Father’s death – but to cash in and spend it was also legal. 

Legal, but not necessarily the most loving thing to do, and speaks to a broken relationship.


Continuing in the Law, Deuteronomy 21:18-21 says: “If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not listen . . . bring him out . . . [and] all his fellow citizens shall stone him to death.” 

This is not the Pharisees and the Scribes adding extra burdens to the Mosaic Law. This is the Mosaic Law. 

What was due to the Prodigal Son on his return to his home town? Death.

Which raises a question: Why did the Father run out to meet his Son? To get there first? Before he was stoned to death? Is the Father’s embrace a paternal human shield to keep his Son alive?


After all, wealthy Middle-Eastern patriarchs don’t run as a rule. But here, the Father ran out not only to meet his wayward Son, but possibly to save his life.

The Son’s plan was to return as a servant – as a slave – on his Father’s estate. But slaves don’t wear sandals, robes, or rings.

The Father’s actions make the point that the Son is his Son … no matter what has happened.

This is the joy of the Son’s return.

This is the joy of the Father’s forgiveness.


But, the flip-side of this is seen in the actions of the older Son. 

Here the sin is not external, but internal.

The older Son is offended by the generous love shown by his Father, while he also refuses to forgive his errant Brother.

The older Son’s un-forgiveness also speaks of broken relationships.

The Father is free to do as he pleases with his possessions, but the older Son is not justified in his un-righteous anger, pride, or selfishness.


Forgiveness is the key here. Forgiveness heals relationships … brings joy … and restores what was lost. 

As we approach this altar to receive the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ; let us pray to forgive. Five weeks ago, we exercised the Eastern practice of asking for and giving forgiveness – “Forgive me, a sinner.” and “God forgives, and so do I.” 

As we move through the central point of the Lenten Season, may we engage and exercise the graces of forgiveness in our own lives and our personal situations. 

Let us experience the joy, healing, and restoration of forgiveness as we move closer to Holy Week, the Paschal Triduum, and Easter.

Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion @ St. Peter Chesaning / St. Cyril Bannister

HOMILY - PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD'S PASSION
MARCH  27/28, 2021


Born in London on October 10, 1865 – Venerable Cardinal Rafael María José Pedro Francisco Borja Domingo Gerardo de la Santísima Trinidad Merry del Val y Zulueta, or more simply Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val, held many important positions within the Church. 

The son of a Spanish nobleman who was descended from Irish merchants, Merry del Val held doctorates in both Philosophy and Theology as well as a license in Canon Law. He was ordained in 1888, was made a monsignor in 1891, sent as Apostolic Delegate to Canada in 1897, named titular Archbishop of Nicaea in 1900, and served as the secretary of the 1903 conclave that elected Pope St. Pius X. That pope named him Cardinal Secretary of State; while his successor, Benedict XV, appointed him Secretary of the Holy Office. He died during surgery for appendicitis in 1930, and his cause for canonization was opened in 1953.

A prayer, titled The Litany of Humility is often attributed to him. And if he didn’t write it, he most certainly made it more well known. 


At the front of the church are prayer cards, if you’d like to take one home and pray it. I first discovered it in 1993, and found it difficult at first to pray.

Humility is not something that is very well appreciated in modern times. And if you find yourself struggling with it, too, don’t give up. Keep praying.

Today is Palm Sunday. 

And we just heard the lengthy reading of the Passion from St. Mark’s Gospel. 

The Old Testament reading from the Prophet Isaiah is a foreshadowing of Our Lord’s Passion, written roughly 700 years before Christ.

The Epistle reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians, is considered to be an ancient Christian hymn … a Creed of sorts … praising the Humility of Jesus Christ, and attempting to recognize the great emptying He experienced in surrendering His Divinity and becoming a mere human.


The word St. Paul uses for “emptied” is the Greek word ἐκένωσεν from the verb κενόω … which implies a total self-emptying, and giving rise to the Theological term “kenosis” is defined as “[t]he voluntary renunciation by Christ of his right to divine privilege in his humble acceptance of human status.”

Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen has compared it to a human being becoming a snake, or in a homily to children to becoming a puppy. It's still you on the inside, but you're sort of trapped.

Nonetheless, as we enter into Holy Week 2021, let us reflect upon the great humility of God … first in His incarnation as a fetus at the Annunciation, His birth as an infant at Christmas, and now in His total annihilation at the hands of wicked men in His Passion and Death.


As we approach this altar to receive the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ – in the Most Blessed Sacrament … another of His great expressions of His humility … let us pray that we might have a share in His kenosis and divest ourselves of any obstacles that might keep us from living out the fullness of our life in Christ, both here and in eternity.

5th Sunday of Lent @ St. Peter Chesaning / St. Cyril Bannister

HOMILY - FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT
MARCH  20/21, 2021

Twice, in his campaign speeches – once in 1959 in Indiana, and again in 1960 in Pennsylvania – President John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the US, made reference that 

[in] the Chinese language, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters, one representing danger and the other, opportunity.

He’s wrong.


But, it’s not his fault. Twenty years before, in the overseas missionary magazine The Chinese Recorder, in an article titled The Challenge of Unusual Times, an unidentified author made the observation that

[without] the danger there cannot arise the opportunity. It is very fitting then that in this time of "danger-opportunity" there should go forth a call to a Forward Movement in the Christian Church in China.

This mistake was carried forward a month later, and then repeated over and over, year after year. And even into the present, where in an episode of The Simpsons, Lisa tells Homer that the Chinese use the same word for “crisis” as they do for “opportunity.” Leading Homer to coin the neologism, “crisi-tunity.”

It’s not Lisa’s fault, either … but she’s wrong, too.

And, while it may be good advice – that is, to look for the good possibilities underlying a bad situation – it isn’t a linguistic factor in the Chinese language.

Today is the 5th Sunday of Lent.


In the Gospel, we hear several rapidly shifting scenes – from Greeks looking for Jesus, to three sayings of Jesus and further reflection relating to His Passion, and the voice of God the Father booming from heaven in confirmation.

In the final words of this particular section of John chapter 12, Jesus says:

Now is the time of judgment on this world.

There is a single Greek word in the original, which is translated here as “time of judgment.” That word is κρίσις (kree-sees) – the word where we get the English word “crisis.”

The Greek word has a slightly deeper meaning, implying a cut-off point … or a separation … a decision between right and wrong, good or bad, justice or injustice.

This can be reflected back to the second reading from Hebrews chapter 5, where the entire section is a comparison of the Old Testament priesthood and the new priesthood of Jesus Christ … who it is argued had a superior title, ordination, sympathy, and sacrifice.

Which is all foreshadowed by the passage from Jeremiah chapter 31, which speaks of a new … and arguably better … covenant between God and His holy people, where God’s law and God’s will would be found inside, not outside of peoples’ hearts.

Every choice we make for good or for ill … stems from a “κρίσις” a time of decision. Scripture reminds us over and over to choose God … choose the good … choose life – eternal life.

We are coming up on Holy Week in just seven days. We’ve made it this far in Lent 2021. We've been admonished toward increased prayer, fasting, and almsgiving … to deepen our walk with Christ and our relationship with the Almighty. 

Many choices … many opportunities … many κρίσις-es. 

Now is the “time of judgment” … the time to dig a little deeper … the “Christ-itunity” to sprint toward the finish line.

As we approach this altar to receive the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ; let us pray that we may take full advantage of what is laid before us. And in making our choice for God in Christ, may we know His mercy and love, as well as His power and grace in our daily lives.

4th Sunday of Lent @ St. Peter Chesaning / St. Cyril Bannister

HOMILY - FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
MARCH  13/14, 2021


The Space Transportation System was a NASA project for a partially re-usable low Earth orbital spacecraft operated from 1981 to 2011. More commonly known as the Space Shuttle, the first shuttle – Enterprise – had no orbital capability, but the other five – Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor – flew a total of 135 missions over 30 years.

Two of the orbiter vehicles were lost in mission accidents – Challenger in 1986 on take-off, and Columbia in 2003 on re-entry.

One week ago, Saturday, Allan McDonald passed away. Mr. McDonald was an engineer and the director of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Motor Project. In January 1986, he refused to sign off on the final launch of Challenger which suffered a catastrophic failure 73 seconds after take-off.


McDonald testified before the Rogers Commission that June as a whistleblower, revealing the coverup by his own employer – Morton Thiokol and NASA. He was initially demoted, but eventually was promoted to vice-president of engineering. His story is told in the book Truth, Lies, and O-Rings. 

Those who worked with McDonald remember his Laws of the Seven R’s – “Do the right thing for the right reason at the right time with the right people, and you will have no regrets for the rest of your life.”


Today is the 4th Sunday of Lent, sometimes referred as Laetare Sunday, from the Entrance Antiphon from Isaiah 66, “Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her. Be joyful, all who were in mourning; exult …”

Whereas on Gaudete Sunday, the 3rd Sunday of Advent, the focus is on “Rejoice, the Lord is near,” today’s focus is more of time-out. We’ve been praying, fasting, and alms-giving for 25 days, and Easter is a mere three weeks away.

It’s not a time for slacking. St. Paul reminds us that “by grace [we] have been saved through faith, and this is not from [us]; it is the gift of God … so no one may boast.”


And in the Gospel, we hear that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”

Everything we have and everything we experience is God’s gift to us. 

Normally during Lent, we have individuals preparing for the Easter Sacraments – the Sacraments of Initiation. 

Without that, this year, we may miss that we, too, are called to re-trace the path of preparation to reclaim or enhance our own experience of those Baptismal graces of Faith, Hope, and Love.


While this may sound esoteric, those supernatural virtues inform us in soul, mind, and heart – Faith informs the soul, Hope informs the mind, and Love informs the heart.

Our Lenten practices, too, allow us to work on soul, mind, and heart through growth in the human or cardinal virtues of temperance, prudence, and fortitude.

Temperance is tied to the soul, and is when we draw our focus away from the pleasures of this world, and direct our thoughts and actions to the joys of heaven.

Prudence is tied to the mind, and is when right reasoning directs our actions – letting the Word of God and the Will of God operate in what we say and what we do.

Fortitude is tied to the heart, and is when we strengthen our resolve to resist temptations and overcome obstacles and persevere in doing good.

And Justice ties them all together, giving us the disposition to offer what is due to God and to give what is due neighbor.


All of this can be summarized in short as “doing the right thing at the right time for the right reason with the right people.” And in doing that, we can be assured that we “will have no regrets for the rest of our lives.”

Lent is a period of spiritual training to allow us to draw closer to God’s will and to conform our lives more closely to the Gospel by drawing closer to the Cross. We are at the “half-time” of Lent, let us continue to move forward in Faith, Hope, and Love.

As we approach this altar to receive the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, let us pray that the manifold graces of this Most Blessed Sacrament may save us through faith. Knowing that it is the gift of God, may we strengthen our resolve to follow Christ to Calvary, and … eventually … to Glory in heaven.

3rd Sunday of Lent @ St. Peter Chesaning / St. Cyril Bannister

HOMILY - THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT
MARCH  6/7, 2021

The Encyclopedia Britannica was published in its first edition between the years 1768 and 1771. It consisted of three volumes. By the second edition, it was 10 volumes. Its fourth edition, published between 1801 and 1810 it was up to 20 volumes. 

The last printed edition was the fifteenth, printed in 2010 – 244 years after the first edition. It consisted of 32 volumes containing 32,640 pages and weighing 130 pounds. From a data processing perspective, it contained approximately 1 gigabyte of information.


Compare that to the human brain, which at the most recent analysis, contains about one petabyte – or one quadrillion, or a one followed by 15 zeroes. 

Since we’re in church, I should mention that the Bible contains only 4.13 megabytes of data. 

And finally, according to Google, the entire Internet contains 1.2 exabytes – that is, 1.2 followed by 18 zeroes – or a quintillion bytes of data.


For what it’s worth, that’s only 1,200 human brains. So, I think we’re still safe … for now.

Today is the third Sunday of Lent. 

And in the First Reading, we hear the 10 Commandments proclaimed to the assembly. Ten sayings, which many of us can remember … or if we can’t remember all of them, we’re pretty sure a lot of them start with “Thou shalt not.


St. Paul, in the first chapter of the First Letter to the Corinthians, is taking them to task for breaking up into factions. He tries to corral them back into focusing not the wisdom and knowledge of the various teachers who have arisen, but rather on,

Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.

The Gospel reading gives us the scene of Jesus’s cleansing of the Temple, where He

made a whip out of cords / and drove them all out.

This story from Chapter 2 of St. John’s Gospel is the second of three parts.

In the first, Jesus shows His glory in the Wedding Feast of Cana – where the miracle is a foretaste of the Eternal Banquet to which we are all called.


The second is the cleansing of the temple, where Jesus shows His zeal – that is, His enthusiasm and dedication … His energy and motivation – for the Gospel.

And the last line of the Gospel, the third part, reminds us that

Jesus would not trust himself to them because he knew them all, / and did not need anyone to testify about human nature. / He himself understood it well.

Now that doesn’t sound very nice at first hearing. But we know that that is not the end of the story.

Rather, Jesus – being God – does know us all … and understands us well. 


And He provides us with supernatural helps – that is, the “power of God” – through grace … in the form of the Sacraments. 

He knows and understands us … but doesn’t leave us floundering without assistance.

Which, however, begs the question: Do we know and understand Him?

Knowledge can be something as flat and sterile as data … facts and information. Knowledge can be practical … a skill or practical understanding. And knowledge can be abstract … an awareness or familiarity.

But God wants us to go beyond the mere superficial knowledge.


Our Baptism has incorporated us in Christ … as members of Christ … and we should have direct experience of Christ.

This, then, through God’s revelation – in the Person of Jesus Christ, “the Word made flesh,” and through the Word proclaimed in Sacred Scripture – provides us with 

the power of God and the wisdom of God

to live out the Gospel according to the Will of God and within the Plan of God. 

And this power, wisdom, will, and plan are shown in the power of Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we approach this altar to receive the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, let us pray that in our Lenten practices, we may deepen our knowledge of the Gospel and grow in holiness and virtue.

And through the power of that Cross, may we know the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord … above anything and everything else (cf. Phil. 3:8).

1st Sunday of Lent @ St. Peter Chesaning / St. Cyril Bannister

HOMILY - FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT
FEBRUARY 20/21, 2021

In her 2013 book titled, “ROY G. BIV,” Jude Stewart explores the history and mystery of colors. 

For instance, that blue wasn’t always for boys … and pink wasn’t always for girls. That phenomenon is roughly 50 or so years old. 

Prior to that babies with blue eyes wore blue, and babies with brown eyes wore pink. 

Or else in the Middle Ages, or in some Catholic countries, girl babies wore blue in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and boys wore pink to honor a particular martyr who shed his blood in a heroic imitation of Christ.

Throughout the 176 pages, Stewart explores colors and their meanings in various cultures and times. While not an exhaustive text, it at least makes you think about what and why.

And for the record, Roy G. Biv is not a person, but is a mnemonic for the seven primary colors of the rainbow; namely, red, orange, yellow, green, blue indigo and violet.

Today is the first Sunday of Lent.


Four down, thirty-six to go. And just for the record, the Sundays don’t count.

Have you given something up? Have you taken something on?

In today’s First Reading from Genesis, we hear the end of the story of Noah … and how God created a “covenant” with him. A covenant in the Hebrew understanding of the word is less of a legal document and more like adoption papers.


In the Old Testament, we hear of six covenants between God and humanity. 

The first being the Garden of Eden … after those seven days of creation … and the promise of a future redemption through the offspring of the woman. 

The covenant with Noah … signified in the rainbow … made up of seven primary colors … to remind us of our relationship with God and creation. 

The covenant with Abraham – how one man would become the father of many nations, and bless the nations of the world. 

The Mosaic covenant – the Ten Commandments and the dietary (and other cultural) laws of the Hebrews … and their 40 years of preparation in the desert. 

The covenant with Kind David … who was chosen above his seven brothers to be king … and the promise of a future king of his line who would be “God’s son.” 

The covenant described by the seven major prophets – that if the people would only return to God … God would return them from whatever exile they were experiencing. 

But the covenant we should be most  interested in is the one we’re living under now. The one where God has fulfilled the promises of those first six covenants in Jesus Christ.


And in the covenant – that is relationship, or adoption – that we are living under, there are seven sacraments … literally seven oaths or promises … that we take in order to enter … and to live out this life of grace … in a family relationship to God the Father, as members of His Son, in order to be filled with … and exercise in our lives … the power of the Holy Spirit.

You see, all of these “churchy” things that we do are not just made up last week so that we can sit on hard seats and put more money in the collection basket. Rather, they are the fulfillment of almost six thousand years of relationship between God and creation and the entire human race.

These seven signs: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist; Confession, Anointing; Marriage and Holy Orders … these establish and maintain the covenant between us and God … as well as relationships … a covenant … between ourselves … and how we are to relate to the world.


It all starts with Baptism, which opens for us the other six. And which St. Peter gives an excellent explanation of the operations of grace between us and God.

And while seven is a particular number tied in with covenants in both the Old and New Testament … the number 40 plays a role in birth and rebirth.

40 days of flooding … 40 days of fasting … 40 years in the desert … 40 comes from the 40 weeks it takes to make a baby. The number 40 is intimately tied to a very specific biological process … that while in itself a beautiful and wonderful and miraculous thing … also brings with it morning sickness, cramps, swollen ankles, and later on … the occasional heated argument and slammed doors.


And so, we are moving along our own 40 days of rebirth. It’s not easy, but it’s meant to remind us of who we are in relationship to God and in relationship to each other. Also during this time, we prepare those who will join us through Baptism and the other Sacraments in this unique family of God. We accompany them in prayer and sacrifice as they prepare to be born again through water and the Spirit … and become our brothers and sisters in Christ.

As we approach this altar to receive the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, let us remember what we are about … and who we are called to be. 

May our efforts as we proceed through the holy season of Lent help us to strengthen our relationships with God and with one another. 

May these 40 days of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving draw us ever more deeply into the life of grace and the family of God … reminding us of the divine power we have at our disposal through these seven sacraments which establish, strengthen, and restore our covenant with God and one another.

Ash Wednesday @ St. Cyril Bannister & St. Peter Chesaning

HOMILY - ASH WEDNESDAY
FEBRUARY 14, 2021

Image result for archimedes philosophy

Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek mathematician and scientist during the third century before Christ. He is credited with many scientific, mathematical, and engineering discoveries. Perhaps most famous among them – although apocryphal (that is, not verifiable) – is the following story.

King Hiero II of Syracuse had a crown made out of pure gold. However, he thought he had been cheated, and lesser materials had been used to make the crown. The king charged Archimedes with determining whether the crown was pure gold or not … without melting the crown down to see what made it tick.

Image result for greek crown

While sitting in his bath, Archimedes noticed that his body displaced a certain volume of water. In an instant, he realized that by comparing the amount of water displaced by the crown to the amount of water displaced by a similar weight of pure gold he could determine the composition of the crown without destroying it in the process.

In his enthusiasm, Archimedes leapt from the bathtub – buck naked – and ran for his laboratory shouting “εὕρηκα, heúrēka!” – that is, in Greek, “I have found it!”

Image result for archimedes philosophy

Thus giving rise to the common phrase, “a eureka moment.”

Today is Ash Wednesday. 

And the whole theme of Lent is repentance. Which comes from a Greek word for “change your mind.” We spend our time in Lent focusing on sin and its consequences. The original word in Hebrew for sin means “to miss the mark.”

Image result for arrow missing target

Too often, we allow the world to convince us to replace our own precious crown of glory for the tinfoil hat of religious speculation … or a paper hat of impassioned partying. In either case, we trade the glory of the children of God for mere dust and ashes.

Today we will have ashes placed on our heads as a sign of our desire to repent – to turn back – to our divine inheritance … to admit to the world that we have sinned – that is, missed the target of who God has revealed us to be through His Son Jesus Christ … our Savior and our Lord.

And if I might, I would like to borrow an idea from Keith Idleman, a Kentucky pastor, who uses the parable of the prodigal son and the acronym A.H.A. to help his readers to engage in God-inspired “Aha!” or “Eureka” moments.

Image result for prodigal son bible pigs

We all know the parable of the prodigal son. Son goes away, son figures out he’s screwed up, son comes back with a plan, father blows son out of the water with his generous mercy. Other son screws up by being a jerk.

We all screw up. We are all, at one time or another the prodigal younger son – who loses his spiritual way through material things; or the prodigal older son – who loses his spiritual way through bad thinking. 

And so, on to “AHA.”

Image result for aha idleman

The first “A” is for “AWAKENING” … the younger son in the parable had a sudden awakening that what he had done and how he was now living were not where he was supposed to be.

The “H” is for “HONESTY” … the son was brutally honest with himself. He didn’t blame anybody. He didn’t make excuses. He figured it it with bold and honest clarity.

The final “A” is for “ACTION” … immediate action. The son didn’t schedule his trip home for when it was convenient for the pigs or OK with his new master. He went. He just went.

Pastor Idleman points out that we may hit on one of the three at any given moment – but when we hit on all three, and engage the grace of Almighty God … those are the AHA moments of TRUE REPENTANCE – returning to God’s fullness of grace, and mercy, and love. Drawing closer to our divine inheritance as the children of the kingdom.

Image result for repent and believein the gospel

As we continue our morning liturgy … and as we receive ashes on our heads shortly … and as we approach this altar to receive the Sacred Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ … let us pray for that grace – the AHA moment of divine grace to wake up to what we have done, or are doing; to be brutally honest in recognizing the “big T” Truth of God’s revelation … found in the Person of Jesus Christ, and – without delay – take that moment for action.

In other words: let us REPENT, AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL.
