A Letter from the Pastor

October 18, 2015 Dear Friends,

Today’s Gospel reading from St. Mark is often cited as a stewardship story, and it is heavy with meaning in that regard. One of the Lord’s favorite topics was service, the motivation and readiness to put our very selves at the benefit of those around us, our parishes and communities. All of our readings speak to the idea of SERVICE. Jesus is the perfect example of the true servant.

Isaiah prophesied the coming of Christ centuries before it occurred. The First Reading from Isaiah concentrates on the suffering, the sacrifice, and the subservience to which the Messiah would be subjected. What Jesus did for us could not be put more clearly than it is in this scriptural passage: “… through his suffering my servant will justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.” Therefore, when Jesus calls on us to serve, whether it is serving Him or those around us, it is a dramatic and profound call. It is not something we can or should ignore.

In the Letter to the Hebrews within the midst of today’s Second Reading is this statement, “ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses.” The root Greek word for “sympathize” as used here meant “to suffer along with.” Jesus became man to share in our suffering, the kinds of feelings and hurts and trauma we may experience. Not only did Jesus live as a human, He continues “to suffer along with” each of us on our life journeys. Yes, we are judged, but it is a merciful judgment that provides us with hope. That is why and how we can willingly serve the Lord and others.

In our Gospel for this 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, it is James and John, who in their boldness ask the Lord if they can be seated to His left and right in the glory of Heaven, and who precipitate Jesus’ eloquent stewardship answer to their question. “Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Jesus is making a deeper and more insightful point to James and John, His Apostles, and to us. We are being told that we need to examine our motivations for everything we do, including serving others. Is it because we love? Is it because we expect a reward? Is it because we want people to think good of us? Our motivation needs to be the humble desire to serve, to be a disciple and follower of the Lord through service as a sign of our love. Our love and service flow freely from our stewardship. What we have received we give back as a gift of our very selves!

Saint Joseph, Pray for Us!

Monsignor McLoone Pastor
