St. Katharine Drexel’s joyful spirit invites us to a deeper appreciaǎon of Christ’s love for us    "      Œ   %Œ       "Œ Œ " '  S   : Called to the True Joy of Christian Service ! Teresa was a young English doctor who, thirty years ago, was doing research on sickle cells in a Caribbean hospital. Earlier in her life she had thought of entering religious life. She had heard the call but it had not been strong enough for her to respond. But she was always conscious that God might be calling her to a work that, on the surface at least, she really did not want to do because she felt it might be too disruptive of the way she wanted to live her life.

Going to the Caribbean to use her medical knowledge in trying to find a cure for a disabling illness like sickle-cell disease seemed a good way of satisfying her conscience. She could do a period of service in a developing country and then return to her house and normal life in England.

Then one Sunday at Mass she heard the words of in John’s Gospel. They are addressed to Simon Peter three times: “Do you love me?” Teresa heard the words as a direct call. She thought her life was all settled. But now this was almost like a word of judgment and demanded a response.

What should she do? She picked up the telephone directory and phoned a religious order. Eventually she chose a mission- ary order, which could use her medical expertise, and she has worked ever since, serving the poor people in Asia with both devotion and joy.

John the Baptist makes a call for conversion to reluctant listeners. They respond and he tells them what they must do with their possessions. He does not just tell his listeners that they must produce fruits. No, he specifies what each group should do in practice. He demands change that is not just superficial, but change that makes them uncomfortable.

He calls them all to share their possessions more justly. He tells them to share their food, and even their clothing, with those in need. The tax collectors who exploit the people must restrain their greed and act fairly. Soldiers must be satisfied with their pay and not misuse their power to rob and blackmail. John’s words of judgment arouse people from their com- placency, and prepare them to receive the good news of salvation which Christ will bring.

It is only by striving to offer true joy and happiness to others that we can ever hope to know true joy ourselves. That is the challenge of Advent, and it is at the heart of all the best stories!

Peace, love and joy,
