KNOCKNINNY SUNDAY NEWSLETTER Third Sunday of Lent 4th March 2018 World Meeting of Families ‘No family drops down from heaven perfectly formed; families need constantly to grow and mature in the ability to love. This is a never-ending vocation born of the full communion of the Trinity, the profound unity between Christ and his Church, the loving community which is the Holy Family of Nazareth, and the pure fraternity existing among the saints of heaven. Our contemplation of the fulfilment which we have yet to attain also allows us to see in proper perspective the historical journey which we make as families, and in this way to stop demanding of our interpersonal relationships a perfection, a purity of intentions and a consistency which we will only encounter in the Kingdom to come. It also keeps us from judging harshly those who live in situations of frailty. All of us are called to keep striving towards something greater than ourselves and our families, and every family must feel this constant impulse.’ Pope Francis Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), 325

Who do you think you are? ‘A certain fiery and starry light shone from his eyes and the majesty of Godhead gleamed in His face.’ St Jerome

What gives you the right? Who do you think you are? In our world, it can be difficult to work out who has authority to speak on certain issues. There are ‘experts’, both qualified and unqualified, at every turn, telling us how we should spend or invest our money, how we should bring up our children, how we should eat, exercise or dress. We usually manage to tune a lot of it out. But when unsolicited advice or criticism is aimed directly at us, we can feel under attack and react accordingly. ‘What gives you the right to tell me how to live my life?’ is a common response. We sometimes need to hear someone’s credentials before we are willing to give them a fair hearing. The Temple scene in today’s gospel sparks a debate about Jesus’ authority. When the Jews question him, asking for a sign to justify what he has done, it is as if they are saying ‘Who do you think you are, coming in here, criticising our activities and telling us how to run things?’ In calling the Temple ‘my Father’s house,’ Jesus has already identified the source of his authority, but his interrogators do not seem to understand, nor indeed do his disciples. This scene offers much more than an angry Jesus and a clueless audience. It is a public revelation by Jesus that he is the authoritative Son of God, and a foreshadowing of his death and resurrection.
