Keeping All These Things - of , the Key of the Kingdom of Heaven. He gives Himself to us A Weekly Bulletin Reflection from the Filiae Laboris Mariae Sisters in the Holy Eucharist. A Reflection for St. Peter’s Feast The power of the keys has also been called the power to forgive By Sr. Petera Maria, F.L.M. sin, which Jesus gave to the disciples after He rose from the dead. In Jesus said to Peter, “I will give you the of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the merits of His Passion, Death, heaven” (Mt.16:19a). For a long time, I thought that there was a and Resurrection are applied to us. Think of the keys as the nails literal pair of keys and a literal door located somewhere around a which crucified Our Lord. Remember that Peter, also, was cruci- specific rock or cave (or a rock in a cave) somewhere in the Middle fied. Fun fact: the Latin word for “key” is “clavis,” a feminine word. East. Well, while there is not a real set of iron skeleton keys (no, The Latin word for “nail” is “clavus,” a masculine word. However, nor gold ones either) that unlock a door that one may reach by lift- the two Latin words have the same root. A nail is something that ing a rock that is situated inside a cave, or perhaps a trapdoor in the makes a hole. A key fills it. But a key does not fill just any hole, it is ceiling of the cave, and thereby enter the kingdom of heaven, Jesus fitted to a specific one: a lock. The lock was made to protect or to did give to Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven. What are they? keep something in. The Key of David “shall open, and none shall Take yourself back to Advent, that season of preparation for the shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open” (Is 22:22). This “O An- coming of Christ. During the days of the 17th through the 23rd, the tiphon” says that he “frees those who sit in darkness and the shadow antiphons for the (prayed at Vespers) each begin with of death”. Hence one may see why the power of the keys has been “O”. They are all different titles of Our Lord. The title for the 22nd seen as the power to forgive sins. is “Rex Gentium,” King of the Nations. But the King of the Nations Now that we have established the key, what about the door? has a steward, someone who looks after his affairs and cares for the Where is that? No, do not ask where it is. Ask who it is. Who is called kingdom when the king goes away. He gives to this steward the the Door of Heaven, Janua Caeli? Who but Our Lady? And so, it is fitting that in the first appearance of the Key of David as the Word keys of his household. On the 20th of December we find, perhaps, Incarnate, we see Him inside the womb of Our Lady, the Key inside the answer to this question of what keys. The ‘O Antiphon’ that the Door, the Door of Heaven which, on the Cross, He opened to day is “Clavis David,” Key of David. Jesus Christ is Himself the Key all of us.

FINAL THOUGHT from My Medication on the Gospel by Rev. James E. Sullivan of the Confraternity of the Precious Blood (1962) 1. Jesus, kneeling beside a large rock, His Face lifted to Heaven. 2. The grace, my Lord, to die to my lower self.

ONLY St. and Jesus heard the voice of the Father say, “This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased.” The crowd was dispersing. Jesus left the water and readjusted His garments. Before John knew it, He was gone. He wandered into the bar- ren and mountainous wasteland not too far away. And there the Son, just exalted by the Father and Holy Spirit, manifested His human nature by suffering hunger and loneliness as any other human being would suffer. For forty days and nights He kept His lonely vigil with- out any food or drink. His throat became parched and ached for water. His whole body became weak and rigid with pangs of hunger. His heart longed for the comforts of human companionship. Yet there was nothing but silence. For long weary hours, He prayed—prayed for souls, the confused, the lonely, the suffering. He told His Father again and again how much He loved Him, how greatly He desired to lead all men to praise Him forever. The Beatific Vision flooded His soul with light and warmth. Gradually the joy of that vision poured over into His pain-wracked Body and lonely human Heart. And even in His pain He had peace. MY KING, You never did anything without having a good reason and a noble motive. In this long vigil of fast and prayer, Your mo- tive was not to suffer for suffering’s sake. You were not a sadist or a stoic. You acted thus to show us a very great lesson—that if we are going to accomplish anything great for God, we must begin by conquering ourselves. If we are going to grow in prayer, if we expect to live the Christ-life and win souls, we have to go through the agony of dying to our lower selves. We have to pay the price! O MY LORD, how I fail to see this! I imagine that my prayers must be lofty ecstasy. And when dryness takes hold of me, I’m ready to give up. Teach me, my Lord, that I’ll never learn to pray well until I’ve gone through the desert of dryness and confusion and my heart is as cold as stone. I imagine that to win souls I have to be the center of attraction. And when I am overlooked or ignored, I’m despond- ent - as though somehow I am a failure. And yet, my Lord, no one can lead others graciously until he knows what it means to be ignored and set aside. You know all this and that’s why You give me the opportunities to die to self. Let me not waste them, my King. Let me pay the price! Lead me into the desert with You that I may conquer myself.
