Saint John Chrysostom (c. 344-407) September 13

"Speaking truth to power" may have become just another cliché, but doing precisely that cost John "the Golden Mouth" (Chrysostom) his diocese and, after exile and a forced march, his health and life. "Renowned for eloquence, heroic in suffering" (Sacramentary), John's scriptural in- sights still comfort and challenge. Mystical theologian, he bids Eastern Christians, whose principal Divine Liturgy bears his name, to lift up their hearts to "God ineffable, beyond compre- hension, invisible, beyond understanding, existing forever, always the same." Model pastor, he warns Roman Catholics in the Liturgy of the Hours not to neglect God-in-the-flesh: "Would you honor Christ's body? Do not scorn his nakedness, honoring him here in church with silken robes, while neglecting him cold and naked outside. What use to burden Christ's altar with golden chalices, while Christ himself starves to death? What use dressing the altar with gold-woven cloths, while denying the shivering Christ the clothes he needs? Do not adorn the church while ignoring your needy brother: he is the most precious tem- ple of all!" (Saturday, Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time). --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. September 20th

Forgiveness Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did not speak to each other again. Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and told him he had better come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the hospital room. The father motioned his son to him and whispered: “Did you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from loving you?” Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the commandments. As St. Paul writes to the Romans, we are to live for the Lord and die for the Lord. Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel reminds us of God’s compassion. The immense sin of humanity has been forgiven and stricken from the record. We are to forgive others in the same way.

In today’s Gospel Simon Peter is thinking that he has figured The project to repave our main parking lot and the lot behind the F out his Master’s thought patterns.

Repeated patching could no longer keep up with the deteriorating surface. Therefore, to ensure According to Jewish law, Peter had reason to believe he was safety and ease of access, repaving the parking lots was included ahead of the curve as it was common Jewish teaching that one in the scope of the To Teach Who Christ Is capital campaign that should forgive a transgressor three times.

While we will do our best to mini- mize the inconvenience, a project of this scope will necessarily I wish there were a simple solution to the problem of forgiveness. But involve a bit of disruption.

And thank you for your patience and flexi- ble or even humanly possible. When Jesus tells his parable about the bility while the work is being done. servant forgiven a great debt, there is no discussion at all of how long to forgive someone who offends, or even how to do it, period. The emphasis in the story is not on the mechanics of forgiveness but only on the motivation. We forgive our fellow human beings, umpteen times seven times, not because they deserve it but because we ourselves have been forgiven a king’s ransom. around us, the more is added to our account. It’s a bewilderingly sweet As far as Jesus is concerned, this is the whole of forgiveness in a nut- deal. Given the remarkable benefits of the practice of forgiveness, shell: Our obligation matches the largess we have received, which is you’d think Christians would be all over it like ants at a picnic. We incalculable. Never mind ruminating on who did what to whom and should be bumping into each other in our haste to demonstrate com- how often. Yes, there may be pain and anger and certainly there can passion for our fellow sinners, as anxious to say ‘I’m sorry’ as to de- be just cause for grievance. Jesus doesn’t argue those points. But clare ‘I forgive you’…Surprisingly, however, the thought of forgiveness gnawing on those components will not free us to do the one thing we often stifles our breath. We’ve developed very bad habits conforming are expected to do as servants relieved of all our debts, and that’s to us to the world rather than to Christ. We hug wrath and anger tight, forgive our debtors, free and clear. though they’re hateful and can only make us sick, in body and soul.

Or as Mohandas Gandhi er article Alice Camille writes: once famously said, “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” You and I have been forgiven by God beyond measure. Let us share ‘Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against the bounty we have received. If you wish to contact me, please send us.’ The more we hit the ATM of forgiveness to spend on the people an email to [email protected]. “You missed the point,” we might be tempted to shout at the servant in today’s Gospel. His master had just forgiven a huge debt when he cried for mercy, and yet, when given the opportunity to show mercy himself, he instead acted vio- lently and with retribution toward a fellow servant. Certain- ly, he had missed the point of his master’s merciful actions toward him, and suffered the consequences as a result. He missed the point. He is not alone, however. We all “miss the point” sometimes—we miss the point of God’s enduring covenant of love, and miss the mark in our call to live as though we are the Lord’s, for this is who we are.

BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST When Peter asked Jesus how many times he must forgive, he was probably stunned at Jesus’ response. Peter had asked, “As many as seven times?” Seven being the perfect Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass © 2001, 1998, 1997, 1986, 1970, CCD. number, surely this is enough forgiveness, Peter likely thought. Jesus’ response seems lavish beyond proportion. “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.” Jesus understands the fullness of God’s mercy and teaches that disciples are called to this same lavish outpouring of mercy. God showers compassion on humanity, beyond what might

seem sensible or wise, yet we are called to “remember the Most High’s covenant, and overlook faults,” to give others the benefit of the doubt, knowing that God does this and more with us, each and every day. As recipients of God’s compassion, we must extend forgiveness and care beyond what might seem reasonable, because God’s love is beyond human reason.

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? All this might seem just too much for us. It is one thing to recognize God’s enduring covenant love. It is another to grasp that we are called to the same sort of lavishness in mercy and forgiveness ourselves. Saint Paul helps us put this in perspective. We no longer live for ourselves, but for Religious Education the Lord.

The Call to Address Racism in Our Hearts and Communities In their pastoral letter against racism, Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love, the Catholic bishops of the United States invite conversion of hearts, minds, and institutions in order to address the evil of racism that still ex- ists in our communities. By our baptism, we are members of Christ’s body and sharers in his mission. Imitating Christ, we must care for all members of our communities, honoring each person as unique, sacred, and created in the image of God. We know that the evil of racism cuts to the core of God’s plan for humanity, devaluing the diversity God created within the human family. As followers of Christ, we seek to reclaim the God-given sanctity of each person’s inviolable human dignity. The bishops remind us, “The command of love requires us to make room for others in our hearts. It means that we are indeed our brother’s keeper (see Gn 4:9).” Some among us may want to believe that our country has moved beyond the reality of racism that has so profoundly stained its past, or that racism does not involve us. Almost every day, news headlines demonstrate that our country’s “original sin” of THE CORPORAL WORKS OF racism continues to impact the lives of many Americans, many of them MERCY Catholic—particularly those who belong to the African American, Hispanic/ The Corporal Works of Mercy are Latino, or Native American communities.

PRAY FOR THE SICK: As members of St. Mary’s parish faith community, it is our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate Mass with us each week because they are ill. Those who are sick, in turn, remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We experience many blessings because of their remembering us. And so, please remember in your prayers the people listed below:

Bob Noonan John Chojanacki Dan McNamee Sandy Washburn Ryan Nitch Tom Hehr Judi Hertel June Garrison Josephine Ranchero Gene Olsen Brandi Gigiano Angeles Valdes Amy Herchenbach Jeanette Zion Len Zyzda Jack Miller Sheila Tracy Dick Robb Dorothy Mae Conley Catherine Brodnan Jim Del Favero Ryan Johnson Don Gragnani

May the God of compassion hold us in the palm of His hand when we feel weary and alone in our suffering. May ours be the look of compassion and the touch of comfort to those who reach out to us in their time of need. And may the blessing of compassion be with us all. P.
