Prologue: The Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. The Second Vatican Council, (1962-65), spoke eloquently of the Virgin Mary in its document on the Church, and in 1964 proclaimed the title Mother of the Church. Christ on the cross entrusted his mother to Saint John: This is your Mother! This memorial on the day after Pentecost recalls her maternal presence among the Disciples of Christ from the beginning.

++++++++

HOMILY:

As Our Lord hung, dying a cruel death on the cross, it would have been totally understandable if he was focused on just breathing…   and yet even at this time, in great pain and near the very end, his thoughts and concerns turned to his mother and to his disciples and the good of the mission he came to fulfil.   He said to his mother:  "Woman, this is your son!"  And to John the beloved disciple, "This is your mother!"   This action not only ensured the ongoing care of his beloved mother, and first and most perfect disciple, Mary, but also in doing this Our Lord gave his mother to care for all his disciples and the whole church.  So, today it is good and right to celebrate Mary as the Mother of the Church.

 

Mary was there from the very beginning. She was utterly attentive and faithful to the Word of God.  She accepted the word God so utterly into her heart and life that she was given the unique privileged of giving birth to the Word made flesh, and caring for him and raising him in love.

 

Throughout Our Lady's life, she pondered and treasured all the events of her life in her heart.  Mary was there to give the opportunity for his first sign as Messiah, when out of love and concern she drew Christ's attention to the wine running out at the wedding in Cana. Her words then apply to so many other acts of discipleship ever since…  "do whatever he instructs you."  

 

Our Lady was not at all put off when she and other relatives went to see Jesus when he was preaching and asked to speak with him. His reply was unusual -  Who is my mother?  Who are my brothers?  Whoever hears the word of God and keeps it,  is my mother, my sister my brother! This, of course, is a wonderful widening of his family to include everyone…   Mary's response to this was obvious…   Her actions before, during and after this event show that her reply was like this… "then I shall be your mother and your disciple." 

Mary was there at all the key moments of Christ's ministry…  She was at the foot of the cross when he suffered and died…   she is called, for this extraordinary act of valour, a "living-martyr, who stood at the foot of the cross," and surely suffered spiritually everything her son suffered physically.

Mary was again present at the news of the resurrection. 

 

And also again, as shown by today's first reading   -  Mary was with the apostles in the upper room, after Christ's ascension.. continually at prayer along with the disciples.   

 

And profoundly…..Mary was with the disciples at Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended in its fullness and empowered Christ's church.

The Church is blessed and grateful that Mary's care for the church and all its disciples continued in her earthly life, and continues for us these many generations since.  The motherly care, intercession, protection and love of Mary is a wonderful blessing given to us by Christ.  

 

And of course, we are very aware of how much we appreciate this motherly care in these present days… 

The newly established Australian colonies depended greatly on the motherly care and intercession of Mary in its early years, especially when there were no priests or sacraments available for most of the first thirty years since the First Fleet arrived.  The Rosary, Marian devotion and the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary kept the faith alive in those drawn-out decades.

 

And we are sure that Jesus has given us the motherly care, intercession and prayer of his beloved mother in these present times of uncertainty, pandemic and upheaval.  This fills us with hope, peace and a sense of direction. 

Our Lady, Mother of the Church.  Pray for us.

Prologue: PENTECOST

The Easter Season comes to an end this weekend with the Great Feast of Pentecost. The-descent-of-the-Holy-Spirit upon Christ's disciples. Jesus is now very much present, and powerfully active, through the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit in the church and in his followers of every time and place.  

We the followers of Christ, continue the wonderful work of the Kingdom. We do this work in tangible ways - putting into action the "warming breath" of God's Spirit of justice, love and practical care...  "God-breathed into the first Human being the day of our creation. The book of Genesis tells us that the Lord put his lips to ours and breathed in us and gave us his spirit of life. And so we became human beings. And John tells us that on the day of Pentecost, the risen Lord breathed on us a second time and gave us new life. After receiving the Holy Spirit, courage replaced caution, and a "fire" was lit in our hearts that scatters the darkness of fear forever. We, like those first disciples, are now a new creation. We have been called to live an "heroic life, " and to be instruments of God's peace and mercy in this beautiful and broken world."

Fr Peter's Homily: Pentecost Sun A - 2020

 

Pope Leo XIII said: "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness' and this goodness is specially attributed to the Holy Spirit."

 

One of the common threads in funeral eulogies is to tell the congregation where and when the deceased was born. A lot of the content refers to their early days. How they came to be the people that we honour today. They refer often to humble beginnings, where family and friends were the principal focus and sometimes faith enters into their life as a foundation for the life to come. It is particularly engaging when the eulogist speaks of the failures as well as the successes in the person's life. They become real and identifiable. We know then that the deceased lead an authentic life that we can all identify with.

 

This feast of Pentecost is a time also to reflect on the origins of the Church, of its equally humble beginnings with the twelve in the locked room and the descent of the Holy Spirit. It is a time to reflect on the Church's history, its moments of crisis, its moments of division, its moments of success as it spread throughout the known world and of the spiritual battles it has faced with its opponents throughout the ages. Pentecost recalls the authentic life that Christianity has lived and reminds us of the part we have played in that life.

 

Much has happened since that first Pentecost, but the commission given to the members of the Church today is still the same as that given to the twelve. Our responsorial psalm sums it up when it ways, send out your spirit and renew the face of the earth'.

 

We have inherited this rather daunting task and today we face the challenge of presenting the richness of our tradition in a way that modern women and men can understand. The task is daunting because we all fear rejection and being ignored. Even worse we fear people thinking us foolish and naïve. We have convinced ourselves that it is better to be half-hearted about our faith and be thought a fool than to speak about it and remove all doubt.

 

It is a difficult conflict to feel personally strong about something, but fear not having the courage or the knowledge to speak about it to others. If we really believed it was 'good news' then why wouldn't we want to share it with others?

 

The disciples gathered in the closed room on that first Easter day knew his tomb was empty' they knew of Mary's encounter with Jesus. They must have been utterly confused and disoriented. They feared punishment as known associates of Jesus. Now they were afraid of the empty tomb implications. The sudden appearance of Jesus among them must have been disconcerting. Jesus understood their fear. He reassured them with his message of peace. How were they to know that this Jesus was their recently crucified Lord? Jesus showed them his hands and his side. This proof filled them with joy. Again Jesus wished them peace. Then he commissioned them. He breathed upon them and invited them to receive the Holy Spirit for the forgiveness of sin.

 

The Spirit was evident in the disciples after the first Pentecost by the manner in which they spoke of the marvels of the Lord and were understood by people of many different nationalities and languages. Their fear was transformed into courage. The Spirit-filled them with the fire and the passion of conviction. Those who witnessed this Pentecost event were at first bewildered. As they heard the apostles' message their mystification changed to astonishment and amazement. The wonder and awe paved the way to conversion and belief.

 

One clear feature of the good news this Sunday is that the Spirit is on the side of diversity, but it is wondrous and marvellous diversity, because the more the Spirit helps us find out who we are, the more we become ourselves, the more we connect and become one with the Spirit given to all.

 

Sadly our Church has often failed to live out the great vision of Pentecost, the vision of unity and diversity. The free breath of the Spirit breathed into all has often been too much to bear.

 

We build our new towers of Babel, setting up empires that control and bring about a crushing uniformity and anonymity. We often tragically fail to see that uniformity is not unity. In cults - to celebrate personal identity is heresy, people become like copies of each other, thinking the same, speaking the same like so many clones of the authority figures they idolise, but they are inferior and very dependent clones. Such cults are often secular, some are extreme, some are more subtle and harder to recognise. Our church does not, on the other hand, endorse rampant individualism but a true individualism of dignity, interdependence and colourful variety that makes up a rich and glorious whole.

 

Ultimately the work of achieving unity and diversity is the work of reconciliation. One, because the more we become truly ourselves, the more we truly reflect the face of Christ to our world. Two, because the one thing that people find hardest to do is to live together in unity and peace. The Spirit gives us the power to make a difference.

 

The church both evangelises and is evangelised. Conversion leading to faith in Christ is the basis of the Christian life, not just for those joining our community, but for all, but most especially for those whose lives have closed them off to knowing how the spirit of God can work in and through them.

 

As the poetic sequence of Pentecost that this is a time to:

 

Heal our wounds, our strength renew' On our dryness pour thy dew, Wash the stains of guilt away. Bend the stubborn heart and will' Melt the frozen, warm the chill' Guide the steps that go astray.

Prologue: The Virgin Mary has often been invoked in times of religious strife under the title of Help of Christians. In thanksgiving for the release of Pope Pius VII from captivity in 1814, the feast was established the following year on the anniversary of his restoration. The first Australian provincial synod held in Sydney in 1844 placed the Church in Australia under Mary's patronage invoked by the title Help of Christians. The solemn feast is an occasion to seek Mary's help and protection for our Church and nation.

HOMILY:
MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS HOMILY

There are two inscriptions from the first centuries of Christianity in Greek related to the Virgin Mary: θεοτοκος, (Teotokos, Theotokos, Mother of God) and βοηθεια (Boetheia, the Helper). SO Help of Christians is one of the very earliest of titles for Mary.

Asking for the intercession of Mary as Help of Christians is part of the oldest prayer addressed directly to Mary, the Sub tuum praesidium, which was found on a papyrus dating, at the latest, from the end of the 3rd century. 

Saint John Chrysostom used this Marian title in year 345 as a devotion to the Virgin Mary. 

Saint Don Bosco also strongly and fruitfully promoted Marian devotion under this title throughout his order which became a world-wide ministry….

How fitting, when we see Mary's life portrayed in the gospels…  what a perfect intercessor, who knows all too well hardship and suffering.
Her trust, humility and complete faith in God as she said yes to what God was asking of her in her life.
The arduous journey to visit and care for her cousin Elizabeth
Her journey as a refugee with Joseph and Our Lord.. to Egypt..
Her pain at losing Jesus in the temple for three days..  when he was twelve.. and her pondering all these things in her heart..
He disciple and mother of Christ..  equally.
The sword of sorrow that pierced her heart through her life
Her trust in and intercession to her son at the wedding in cana…  concerned for the good of her hosts….
Her discipleship
Her faithfulness at the foot of the cross…  bearing the indescribable pain of her son's suffering and death.
Her presence in prayer and faith with the apostles at Pentecost.

The infant church in Australia had a special reason for turning to Mary. No priests were sent to the colony in its early days and Mass was not allowed except for one brief year until 1820. It was largely the Rosary, and strong devotion to Mary, in those early days that kept the faith alive.

Catholic Australia remained faithful to Mary and was the first nation to choose her under the title Help of Christians, as principal Patroness.

It is particularly poignant and fitting in this year, where our nation and the world has been locked down by the pandemic…   echoing the early days of the church, but for different reasons, we again find ourselves unable to publicly celebrate masses with a community, but the Catholic faith is alive and strong.. and Mary Help of Christians both intercedes for us and inspires us in these trying times.

Also, even to this day, Australia is highly secularized and still we see signs at times of a concerning and deep anti-Catholic sentiment, that comes bursting out at unexpected times and in unfortunate ways….   . We need to invoke Help of Christians  to pray for and ask the Lord to transform any hardened hearts, headstrong… hearts and minds.

St Mary's Cathedral was dedicated in her honour by the Irish pioneer priest, Fr John Therry, who arrived in Sydney in 1820 and assumed responsibility for the planning and initial construction of the Cathedral.
When Australia became the first country to have Mary Help of Christians as Patroness, it became the first country to have a mother-cathedral under the same title.

The statue of Mary, Help of Christians, stands in the Chapel of the Sacred Heart in the Cathedral.

The Church has traditionally focussed on two aspects of Our Lady's help on this feast day.

Firstly, upon the role of Our Lady's intercession in the fight against sin in the life of a believer.

Secondly, Our Lady is one who assists Christians as a community, through her intercession, in fighting against anti-Christian values and principles.

In the Opening Prayer for Our Lady Help of Christians, we rightly (and in heartfelt determination), prayed that through Our Lady's intercession God will "grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens", so that "under her protection Australia may be granted harmony, justice and peace". This is longed for and treasured more than ever before.

Mary Help of Christians is not only the patroness of Australia but also the Australian Military Ordinariate

And the following prayer is quite fitting…. 

Almighty God, deepen in our hearts
our love of Mary Help of Christians.
Through her prayers and under her protection,
may the light of Christ shine over our land.
May Australia be granted harmony, justice and peace.
Grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens.
Bless especially the men and women
of the Australian Defence Force and their families.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Mary Help of Christians, pray for us.
