(EPISODE:479)
+++++
Today's feast day of Pentecost is, in many ways, a birthday celebration.  With the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, on that first Pentecost Sunday, Christ's church was born.  And, as the readings this weekend tell us, we become beloved sons and daughters of God and heirs to God's kingdom. We have been given the freedom of the children of God.  But the second reading supplies an essential 'qualifier' (lest we get too proud and indulgent), that this freedom is given to us so that we too can live as Christ did. So we are reminded that Pentecost and our membership in God's family are never meant to be self-serving or indulgent but all about service, sacrifice and self-forgetting love.

 

"If the Spirit guides you you will be in no danger of yielding to self-indulgence since self-indulgence is the opposite of the Spirit, the Spirit is totally against such a thing, and it is precisely because the two are so opposed that you do not always carry out your good intentions. If the Spirit leads you, no law can touch you. When self-indulgence is at work, the results are obvious… What the Spirit brings is very different: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control. There can be no law against things like that, of course. You cannot belong to Christ Jesus unless you crucify all self-indulgent passions and desires. Since the Spirit is our life, let the Spirit direct us." (Galatians 5:16-26)

 

The Gospel this weekend also reminds us that the presence and action of the Holy Spirit in our lives and the lives of the church will always work to remind us of all that Christ did and said, and keep us close to Christ and his values. The Holy Spirit is the "Spirit of Truth." All who live by the Spirit, strive to live authentic, honest, integrated lives built on truth. 

 

The Gospel from Saint John today tells us that Jesus gives his followers the peace they need because that is the Lord's first greeting:  Peace be with you!  May we (too) know the peace of Jesus in our own lives!  With peace comes the capacity to forgive the sins of others.  This forgiveness is a gift of the Lord, who loves us.  This gift is given to each of us individually and the Church through its ministry.

 

Fear is taken away at the heart of our Christian life, and peace and forgiveness are given.  May we dispel the fears of others and proclaim the peace and forgiveness given to us in Jesus.

 

In the first reading too, the disciples were not yet able to go out and speak publicly and to proclaim Jesus to others, even though they now knew he was Risen and Ascended to the Heavenly Father.  They had to wait for the Holy Spirit to take hold of them and give them courage in the face of doubt, persecution, ridicule and rejection.  At times, we, too, may be shy about proclaiming our faith in the Lord Jesus.  Perhaps today, we can pray for this Spirit to come on us and to give us courage so that our faith becomes so much a part of ourselves that it is so natural and easy to speak of our faith in an unforced manner.

 

Our gifts are different, each person has different gifts.  We need all the gifts that each person has so that we can continue the work of Christ in our world.  How different our world looks when we recognise that each person brings his or her own gifts and that we need everyone's gifts to live in the fullness of Jesus Christ.

 

In the 'everyday' and unexceptional, that is also where we encounter and KNOW the Spirit is at work in our lives, especially when the love and sacrifice we show are coming from a loving hand bigger than our own lives and our own limited motives and actions

 

When we do loving and unselfish actions, we are deeply aware that there is a power and a loving presence at work in us that is outside of just ourselves. We transcend our limitations … not explainable by our own actions… but bigger, ……. "of which we are just a cooperating part…."

 

It is God…. It is God's Spirit at work in and through us, at work in the world. It is a power of unselfish, sacrificing love and service—unconditional love—that is at the heart of creation.

 

Finally, after the Spirit descended, people of different languages and cultures could all hear and understand. But what is interesting is that the people were still not speaking the same language. They were still speaking in the language of those different nationalities and cultures. The miracle is that even though they spoke different languages, they could miraculously understand each other. They were all proclaiming the same message-  and the same truth. This is a reminder that the Spirit brings not uniformity, but diversity and variety, where we are all "one" in that diversity because the common language we speak is the language of God… and that language is true and overflowing LOVE…..

GOSPEL THIS WEEKEND

Homily: The Ascension of the Lord. Year B - Sunday, 12 May 2024

Happy Mother's Day to all mums as we celebrate Mother's Day here in Australia. Different parts of the world celebrate Mother's Day on different dates in the year. Still, whatever date it is celebrated, it is no coincidence that Christ used the image of an unconditionally loving parent to describe an essential characteristic of God's nature. What better example of unconditional love can be witnessed than the love of a Mother or a Father for their cherished child? Christ wants us to know and experience God's deep and abiding love for us by calling us God's daughters and sons.  This weekend, we pray for all Mothers that they may be blessed for their goodness, kindness and self-forgetting love. 

 +++

The Ascension marks the completion of Jesus' earthly and bodily presence on earth…..   Jesus had to return to the Heavenly Father, because his rightful place was with the Father in Heaven, ruling heaven and earth from his place in Heaven…..  He needed to return to his Father so that he could send the Holy Spirit to make his work continue in and through his disciples…..

 

Our Catholic faith is big upon seeing beyond appearances….. to see deeper into things than just the surface….. it is a recurring theme throughout our faith and worship….

 

Jesus tells us, that God judges not by appearances but sees straight into the heart, into the inner dispositions and attitudes of the human person, and knows the truth of each one of us…..  Jesus encouraged us to ensure that our lives, our attitudes, our values and our actions all flowed from our deep inner life, built upon love.   mere outward appearances don't mean a lot in the gospel's scheme of things.  This is a valuable lesson for us, and for the world….in a time and culture where appearances seem to be taken on more of a value than they should….. sometimes at the cost of inner value…

 

Jesus returned to the Father, and disappeared from our sight, so that we would look for and find the continuing real presence of Jesus, in different forms… that are not so obvious……  If Jesus still walked the earth the same way he did while he was with his disciples, there would be no need for us to look for him elsewhere. But Jesus' mission is to be "ALL IN ALL"…. to be draw all things to himself and to  bring to life God's Kingdom in and through all of creation……  this requires Christ to transform and fill up with his presence … all people and all the world…….. He achieves this with the Holy Spirit, and with the cooperation of his followers who continue his mission.

 

Jesus Christ is not visible in the same way as he was when he walked the earth with his disciples…..  but we believe Jesus is still present and active amongst us in new ways…. and through the power of the Holy Spirit….(which reminds us of all Jesus did and said and makes effective all that we do in Jesus' name). So, we all would become the hands and feet and heart of Jesus in our daily lives……

 

St. Teresa of Avila composed a prayer poem and it is a fitting for today…. 

 

As St Teresa writes….

 

"Christ has no body but yours,

No hands, no feet on earth but yours,

 

Yours are the eyes with which he looks

Compassion on this world,

 

Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,

 

Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.

 

Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,

Yours are the eyes, you are his body.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours."

 

And we become the body of Christ, by taking in the body of Christ in communion. We receive Our Lord as food and drink, and take in his presence, his grace and his values…. becoming, (with God's grace) more and more like Jesus with every day)…….  

 

The outward appearance of the bread and wine does not change….but its inner reality does….into Christ's presence….  we look and seem the same, but inside, we believe Jesus has made a home in our hearts… and hopefully our actions and attitudes show that living presence within us…

A Prayer in Gratitude and Blessing for Our Mothers.

 

Good and Gentle God, Lord of creation, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life and nurturing with love, young lives. Jesus, you became human through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Grant to all mothers the grace and strength they need to face the uncertain moments that life often brings us all.  Give them the ongoing strength to love and to be loved in return. Give them the faithful support of family and friends and the wider community.  May they receive peace and joy through their family and friends.   Give them joy and delight in their families and friends, to sustain them through joys and sorrows. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most.  Bless all our mothers and grant them reward for their unconditional love and kindness. Through Christ our Lord.   Amen.

4. Go in peace.

(EPISODE: 477)
+++++
All of the weekend scripture readings say a lot about the core of Christ's message.  There are quite a few lines that jump out at me as we listen to the readings this weekend.
 
Lines such as these:
Saint Peter said to Cornelius: "Get up. I myself am also a human being."….. 
 
"the believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles …."
 
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.
 
Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.
 
God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. ,…..he loved us first and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
 
Jesus said to his disciples: "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
 
"I have told you  this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete.
 
"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.
I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends
 
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another."
 
These lines from the readings this weekend are profound and important, and worth deeper thought and reflection.
 
 In summary, what these lines say to me is, we must keep in mind that our Christian faith is not ultimately about us, but it is about God. That might, at first glance, seem to be an obvious truism, however, we do acknowledge that in a world where ME, ME, ME  is often front and centre,  we as a whole, can sometimes forget that we are merely men and women and not 'little gods' in charge of our destiny, and we are ultimately not the centre of our own world or the world around us. 
 
How wonderful that the Holy Spirit of God took initiative and fell upon Gentiles even before they were baptised. God's Spirit blows where it wills, inspires, and acts upon people in and outside the visible confines of religion and church and does what God wants.  That is also an important and humble corrective. We will never be able to limit God's generous and proactive activity in and among the peoples and cultures of the world. Nor should we ever want to stop this divine right of God to do as God wishes and act in and through whom God wants. (nor could we ever stop God anyway).
 
Also, the readings today remind us that God's very nature is LOVE. One cannot know God if we do not know love or show love. This love is to show itself in the way Jesus showed love. And the kind of love Jesus shows us is self-sacrificing love which gives and does not count the cost, and reaches out to give rather than grasping to possess. 
 
And in connection to this, God's desire and plan for us is to have joy to the full and to be not servants or slaves but friends who are willing co-workers and colleagues with God, in God's plans. We are indeed friends and colleagues with Jesus, but also friends who know our place in the sense that we never get a 'big head' and think that since we are "co-workers" and "friends" of Christ, we could ever "play God for our own benefit" over others.
 
So, today's readings say to me: Be joyful, be loving, be free, be friends, be not slaves and nor ever be begrudging labourers, but rather,  be as Christ showed us, because God is all about self-giving, self-forgetting love which reaches out to everyone without fear and favour, and which is about practical and joyful service and compassion which reduces ego and self-interest and acts and thinks more as a brotherhood and sisterhood of humanity rather than "them and us"    These are sound foundations upon which to build our true discipleship of Christ.
