Spiritual needs are cared for in common through the teaching of the apostles, the prayers, meals and the common life. Material needs are answered by the sharing of possessions.

  • SERMON- Palm Sunday (B) Good Shepherd Charles R
    SERMON- Palm Sunday (B) Good Shepherd Charles R. Cowherd March 28, 2021 Mark 11:1-11 Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29; Philippians 2:5-11 or Mark 15:1-39, [40-47] Psalm 31:9-16 OPENING: Earlier this month, our very own Good Shepherd Players performed (online) the stage play, And Then There Were None, based on Agatha Christie’s famous 1939 novel. I enjoyed their rendition so much that I rented the recent BBC movie version from the library and watched it as I prepared for this Sunday and for Holy Week. It’s an interesting pairing. I am not an expert on Agatha Christie, but I know that her faith permeated her work. Throughout, there is the idea of a moral universe, a particularly Christian one, where good and evil exist and compete. Famously, with Christie, that meant that even the buttoned-up English countryside was rife with sin. She also expanded the genre by emphasizing that humanity’s sinfulness is so profound that even the great detectives and crime solvers of her books cannot restore the world to a state of goodness. Salvation, thus, always lies outside of ourselves.1 This all makes good Lenten reading, and especially today, as we get to the height of Palm Sunday and then the depths of Christ’s Passion. Getting back to And Then There Were None, Steve McBride infamously gave away its ending during announcements one Sunday by revealing that, quote: “Everyone dies in the end.” He later protested that that fact was, you know, in the title in the first place.

  • THE WEDDING FEAST at CANA (Jn 2:1-11)
    THE WEDDING FEAST AT CANA (Jn 2:1-11) By Jim Seghers John‟s ostensibly simple narrative of the wedding feast at Cana explodes in layers of meaning when it is examined in faith. This reflection proposes to offer some insights that may deepen your understanding and stimulate your discoveries in this rich passage. It is no accident that John begins his Gospel with the identical words that open the Bible: “In the beginning” (Gen 1:1). In the first chapter of Genesis the emphasis is on the ascending order of creation culminating in formation of Adam and Eve on the sixth day. In the recapitulation in second chapter of Genesis the emphasis shifts to the covenant God established with his favorite creatures to whom God gave dominion over the earth. This covenantal relationship is depicted in the Bible as a family bond or a marriage. In the first chapter of John‟s Gospel the evangelist lays out a literary new creation week. On the first day the Word who is God is depicted as coming to make a “new creation” (2 Cor 5:17). He is both “life” and the “light of men” paralleling the first day of creation in Genesis when God said: “Let there be light” (Jn 1:4; Gen 1:3). The first three days of John‟s literary creation week are laid out as follows: First Day: Jn 1:1-34 Second Day: Jn 1:29-34 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Third Day: Jn 1:35-42 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Fourth Day: Jn 1:43-51 beginning with the words: “The next day.” Seventh Day: Jn 2:1-11 wedding at Cana Chapter two introduces the marriage at Cana with the words: “On the third day” (Jn 2:1).

  • May 2021 INM FMA/Pro.Cir.47
    May 2021 INM FMA/Pro.Cir.47 Viva Gesu`! “…There was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.” Jn 2:1 My Dearest Sisters, [Affectionate greetings to you from Kodambakkam! We begin the month of May popularly known as the month of Mary with the feast of St Joseph the worker. As the dreadful second wave of Covid-19 is tossing our world, our country, our State, our communities, families and our neighbourhood, we turn our gaze to our God who is our refuge, shield, and strength. We entrust ourselves to the paternal protection of St Joseph and the maternal care of Mother Mary and implore the mercy and compassion of God on the suffering humanity. St Joseph the foster father of Jesus and the husband of the Virgin Mary is the patron saint of workers and craftsmen and was declared patron of the universal church by Pope Pius IX in 1870. St Joseph was a carpenter who earned an honest living to provide for his family. From him, Jesus learnt the value of work, the dignity and joy of what it means to eat bread that is the fruit of one’s labour. Pope Francis in his Apostolic Letter Patris Corde narrates very beautifully the hard, diligent, and dignified work of St Joseph and the salvific role of work under the title “A working father”. In 1955 Pope Pius XII established the Feast of St Joseph the Worker on 1 May as a counter-celebration to the communists’ May Day. Today, the majority of countries around the world celebrate this day as International Worker’s Day or Labour Day.

  • The Miracle at the Wedding in Cana
    The Miracle at the Wedding in Cana Biblical text: John 2:1-11 Fr. Lorenzo’s commentary: Like many stories from the Bible, the story of the wedding in Cana can be read on so many levels: as a miraculous manifestation (“epiphany”) of Christ’s glory and power (note its occurrence “on the third day” [2:1]); as a proof of Christ’s blessing of not only the instiution of marriage but of weddings and wedding receptions; and as an early example of Christ’s transformation of ordinary matter into something of surpassing excellence (not unlike the sacraments). My favorite aspect of the story, however, is perhaps how it sheds light on the relationship between Jesus and his mother. It is hard for me not to grin when I read Jesus’ query to Mary: “Woman, what is that to you and me?” Read with a certain tone of voice, one could imagine that as something that an exasperated Archie Bunker might say. “Woman” was a polite form of address in first- century Palestine; David Bentley Hart renders it “Madam” throughout his translation of the NT. The question is sincere: “Madam, what is that to you and me?” In other words, if they’ve run out of wine, that is their concern. We need not interject ourselves in things that are not our business. Yet more than that, Jesus will not work miracles to benefit his family and friends. He will not use his authority over nature to impress or to alleviate minor inconveniences—only to heal the afflicted and show forth God’s glory.

  • Reconsidering Paolo Veronese's Wedding at Cana
    The Language of the Banquet: Reconsidering Paolo Veronese’s Wedding at Cana Kate H. Hanson British filmmaker Peter Greenaway’s video installation during the 2009 Venice Biennale took Paolo Veronese’s Wedding at Cana (1562- 63) as its subject.1 The installation, based on a digital reproduction of the painting recently placed in its original home of the San Giorgio refectory, used multiple screens as well as digital and audio effects to dissect the work’s formal structures, highlight specific characters in the scene, and create dramatic effects with music and imagined conversations. Greenaway, in line with the scores of admiring artists preceding him, chose to highlight the more worldly aspects of the work: the gossip amongst guests, worries of servants about food supplies, and soaring music. The continued popularity of this sixteenth century painting clearly indicates that Veronese’s work has the ability to speak to viewers in the twenty-first century as well as its original Renaissance audience [Figure 1]. Two years after Paolo Veronese (1528-88) completed the Wedding at Cana for the refectory of the monastery San Giorgio Maggiore, resident monk Benedetto Guidi recorded his admiration for the work in effusive, poetic verse.2 Specifically, he noted that “[a]ll the sculptors come and the painters to admire it three, four, and six times . and PAOLO [sic.] is praised with eternal fame.”3 This poem stands among the earliest of scores of accolades that the Wedding at Cana has garnered and emphasizes the 1 Greenaway’s multimedia installation at the original refectory of San Giorgio Maggiore (now the Fondazione Giorgio Cini) took place June 6-September 13, 2009 as part of the 2009 Venice Biennale.

  • BETHANY BEYOND the JORDAN (John 1:28) TOPOGRAPHY, THEOLOGY and HISTORY in the FOURTH GOSPEL
    Tyndale Bulletin 38 (1987) 29-63. THE TYNDALE NEW TESTAMENT LECTURE 1986 BETHANY BEYOND THE JORDAN (John 1:28) TOPOGRAPHY, THEOLOGY AND HISTORY IN THE FOURTH GOSPEL Rainer Riesner For Bargil Pixner OSB on his 65th Birthday I. INTRODUCTION One of my friends, who has a most noteworthy biography, is Bargil Pixner.1 He was born in the South Tyrol, and as a young German soldier opposed to Hitler's National Socialism he almost paid with his life. After the War a political career was open to him in his native land, but he became a missionary and for many years he was, among other things, the leader of a leprosy station in the Philippines. Since 1968 he has lived in Israel and belongs to the Benedictine Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. He has two main concerns in his life: first, he strives to bring about unity among Christians, and hopes to achieve this preeminently through corporate prayer and the study of the Scriptures; secondly, he has dedicated himself to the investigation of biblical topography and archaeology. In this area his most important contribution is probably the claim that in New Testament times the Essene Quarter was situated on Mt Zion, that is on the south- western hill of old Jerusalem.2 The stimulus for the following exposition I owe to Bargil Pixner. The interpretation of the Johannine topographical designation 'Bethany beyond the Jordan' which I advocate here, was his own independent discovery. Later on, as a matter of fact, ______________________ 1 Biographical sketches appear in Jerusalem Post 4.

  • The Marriage at Cana
    Chapter 11. Man’s Redemption: Spiritual Transformation The Marriage at Cana Fig. 1. Peasant Wedding Feast, c. 1568, oil on wood, 114 x 164 cm (45 x 64 ½ in.), Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna This is one of Bruegel‟s most widely known paintings, adorning classrooms around the world, lending itself to use on Christmas cards, jigsaw puzzles, calendars and table-mats. Art historians suppose it to be a celebration of peasant festivity and greed and have seized on it as an example of the mention by van Mander, of Bruegel, together with his friend Frans Frankert, going into the country disguised as peasants and passing themselves off as invités at such events. Van Mander implies that this was done for amusement and fitted 344 in with what was assumed to be Bruegel‟s love for „drollery.‟1 It is typically said of Bruegel that „His paintings, including his landscapes and scenes of peasant life, stress the absurd and vulgar, yet are full of zest and fine detail. They also expose human weaknesses and follies. He was sometimes called the “peasant Bruegel” from such works as Peasant Wedding Feast‟.2 It has been suggested that the figure at the extreme right of the picture conversing with a monk may be the artist himself. All the details in the picture, as is typical of Bruegel, are minutely and accurately observed. Analysis of this painting will propose that Bruegel saw human beings from the point of view of a student of the human condition viewed according to the blend of influences from mysticism, Gnosticism, philosophy and esoteric Christianity that we have called the Perennial Philosophy.
