Calendar of Events THE ROCK STAR AS JOHN THE BAPTIST Power Lunch: The Spirit of Advent It was about twenty years ago, if you can believe it. An Invasion had taken place: not an inva Thursday, December 5 sion of aliens (though my parents thought so), but rather of a small group of well-armed and 12:45-1:45 pm highly vocal moptops from England. Gibson guitars in hand, their lyrics pulverized their lis Faculty Dining Room teners and demanded a response. One of those guys is Mickjagger, and, well, Mick has been on my mind these last few days. Notre Dame Encounter The song was called "Satisfaction," and Mick belted it out: "I can't get no ... " Perhaps you Friday-Sunday, December 6-8 Fatima Retreat Center know the rest. This is why Mick's statement has been on my mind. For the past four days, we've watched Catechetical Institute Day news reporL~ of feasting, of folks showing up at Super Stores to buy everything from salad Saturday, December 7 shooters to stereos. There have been stories of folks showing up at stores on Friday morning, 11:00 am-2:00 pm before even the sun was up, before their dinners were digested, ready for another frenzied NO Room, LaFortune feast. All through the weekend, we heard of people who could not afford to buy the things they Rejoice! (Black Catholic Mass) thought they wanted, running up outlandish bills. Buying stuff that would soon be trash. Saturday, December 7 4:00pm Expe1·ts went on air, cautioning people not to spend beyond their means. Fisher Hall Chapel And if you consider the media to be a window into our behavior, then another vision is pre sented, equally disturbing. For not only are we spending and consuming at an alarming Advent Lessons and Carols rate ... we are just as frantic when it comes to the ways of loving. How often have you watched a Sunday, December 8 show about a sustaining, lasting, satisfying friendship? And conversely: how often have you 7:15pm been privy to a hot, passionate bedroom scene? Even in issues of love, what is held before us Basilica • is fast, groping, easily gotten, and quickly thrown away. So as our society careens toward another Christmas celebration, Mick's question screams out, Campus Bible Study: Review Matthew, Chapter 1.-18 like the voice of a prophet: Are we getting any satisfaction? Why do we buy, and eat, and Tuesday, December 10 even love, with such excess, and with so little enjoyment. 7:00pm In order to know satisfaction, another question needs to be raised, and it is a precarious one. Campus Ministry-Badin Office How can we truly be satisfied unless WI! put ourselves in a position of incompleteness? We need to yearn! We need to wait! We need to embrace something that our entire culture Advent Penance Service· wants to keep as far away from us as possible: We need to hunger. Tuesday, December 10 Over the years, we have devoted much energy to staying satiated- but satisfaction eludes us. 10:00 pm It is because we arc afraid to be hungry. Our dance to stay away from hunger has been all Basilica consuming, but we are the ones who have been consumed. We long to be satisfied, but the "'& Kalros: Anticipation of Feast of our marketplace has only responded with shadows. We are told: "have it your way." (Can you Lady of Guadalupe ·''"··· really be satisfied with what someone else puts before you?) ''You can have it all." (This claim Wednesday, December 11 goes for all the marbles!) And: "you can have it now." (Why wait? Why accept anyone else's 7:30pm timetable but your own?) Chapel of the Holy Cross But here God's message and the marketplace are at odds, and here too is precisely where Advent offers its gift to us. The marketplace shows us images chock full of bounty and opu lence. God says, "I am a voice crying out in the desert!" The sounds of the marketplace are Second Sunday of frantic and grasping. But the Creator says, "Be still, and know that I am God." The market Advent place says we can have it now. God says that we must wait. And waiting is precisely the gift that this season offers us. It is a gift not found in stores. It is a gift found in the desert, in Weekend Presiders silence, in the heart. Basilica of the Sacred Heart But it is not an easy gift to accept. To do this means that we enter into a vulnerable relation ship with our Maker. For what does it mean to wait? It means that we must live with yearn ing. What does it mean to be satisfied? It means that a longed-for hunger has now been fed Saturday,December 7 at its deepest level. And when we are fed on this deepest of levels, will we have the courage to 5:00p.m. wait again, having tasted our hearts' desire? Herein lies the risk, a life which depends on God Rev. E. William Beauchamp, c.s.c. for true satisfaction. Advent is upon us. Maybe we envision the prophet as some bearded idiot eating bugs out in the boonies. I suppose that works. But this year for me, the prophet's voice was that of a rock Sunday,December 8 star. His screaming lyrics called me to look to the mystery of satisfying the hungry heart. Not with merchandise. Rather, with the gift of finest wheat. 10a.m. Resist the frenzy that surrounds us! Risk satisfaction. Rev. Peter Rocca, C.S.C. • 11:45 a.m. Steven C. Warner Rev. Richard V. Warner, C.S.C.
