The world today, as much as any time in history, is divided into people who can be described as the “haves” and the “have-nots”. This is seen clearly in the stark contrast between the affluent Western World and the Developing World. The scriptures today focus on such contrasts. Today in the Gospel we read St. Luke’s formulation of the Beatitudes. St. Luke’s vision recounts the concern Jesus had for the poor and the marginalized. The Lucan Jesus speaks of those who are the real poor, hungry, and the sorrowful - and contrasts them with the rich, the well fed, and the merrymakers. The poor are favored by God, while the rich face a bleak future if they do not amend their ways. In the reading from the Hebrew Scriptures, the Prophet Jeremiah uses imagery from nature to make the same contrast about the human condition. The tree in verdant splendor is close to the river with an ample supply of water. The bush, on the other hand, is planted in a wasted and arid desert with no sustenance to assure growth. This is given as a metaphor for human choices, with some placing their whole trust in God, and others in human pursuits. A careful reading of the extract from St. Paul today helps towards countering these contrasts. It is the Resurrection of Christ that makes all the difference. No Resurrection, no Holy Spirit. The Risen Christ means a spirit filled Christian. To believe in the Risen Christ and to place our trust in him is to be the tree planted near living water. Christ reminded his listeners, and us, that the poor are always with us. This does not mean that we are to be complacent but, rather, should be continually challenged to help eliminate or reduce poverty and deprivation. This remains the continual call and challenge of Christianity. This weekend we celebrate Presidents Day in the United States. Please keep all elected officials in your prayers at this critical time in our nation’s history. During his address to a Joint Session of Congress in 2015, Pope Francis identified Presi- dent Abraham Lincoln as an American Prophet. This should serve to remind us to challenge all elected officers and to remind them of their duty to truly care for and be transformational in their service to all the people of the nation. This should be especially evident in their care for the poor and the marginalized. Peace and Every Good in the Tradition of St. Francis and St Clare. Fr. Des.

stfrancisparish.com•facebook.com/SFAPSacramento Better Angels will be Holding a Red / Blue Workshop at St. Francis in March The level of divisiveness and demonization in our politics and in our social fabric is unproductive and harmful to our country. Better Angels is a bipartisan citizens group dedicated to bridging the political divide by building a new way to talk with one another, participate in public life, and influence the direction of the nation. What is a Red/Blue Workshop? It’s a workshop bringing together 7 to 9 conservative/Republican- leaning citizens and 7 to 9 progressive/Democratic-leaning citizens for a day of structured conversations. Workshop Goals: ● To better understand the experiences and beliefs of those on the other side of the political divide and reduce political polarization. ● To see if there are areas of commonality in addition to differences. ● To learn something that might be helpful to others in our community and the nation. The Process: The workshop is facilitated by two Better Angels moderators who en- sure a setting hospitable to red and blue participants alike. The focus is on listening and reflecting, rather than debating and persuading. Interested in Participating? Contact St. Francis parishioners Diane & Dennis Mahoney: Diane Mahoney (blues) 916-215-2673 [email protected] Dennis Mahoney (reds) 916-900-4452 [email protected] MyParish is also available from the Apple or Android online stores.
