They are Remembered for their faith, their courage, and their leadership during the difficult days of the birth of our lord's spirit led church.

HOMILY:

 

St Ambrose (340-397)

One of the original four Doctors of the Church

  "Where Peter is,

there is the Church.

Where the Church is,

there is Jesus Christ.

Where Jesus Christ is,

there is eternal salvation."

//////

St Augustine (354-430) Father & Doctor of the Church:

 

 "There is one day for the passion of two apostles.

But these two also were as one;

although they suffered on different days, they were as one.

Peter went first, Paul followed.

We are celebrating a feast day, consecrated for us by the blood of the apostles.

Let us love their faith, their lives, their labours,

their sufferings, their confession of faith, their preaching."

////

"There must be general rejoicing, dearly beloved,

over this holy company whom God has appointed

to give us example in patience and strengthen our faith.

But we glory even more in the excellence of Peter and Paul, whom the grace of God has raised to such a height among all the members of the Church

that He has set them like "twin lights of eyes" in that Body whose head is Christ."

 

St Pope Leo the Great (400-461) Father & Doctor of the Church

///

 

Pope Francis – in a June 2014 homily on Peter and paul says.....

 

In today's Feast, the Lord repeats to me, to you… what he said first to the Apostles....  and especially including Saints Peter and Paul.....: Follow Me!

Waste no time in questioning or in useless chattering;

do not dwell on secondary things but look to what is essential and follow Me.

Follow Me without regard for the difficulties.

Follow Me in preaching the Gospel.

Follow Me by the witness of a life shaped by the grace you received in baptism….. and holy orders.

Follow Me by speaking of Me, to those with whom you live, day after day,

in your work, your conversations and among your friends.

Follow Me by proclaiming the Gospel to all, especially to the least among us,

so that no one will fail to hear the word of life,

which sets us free from every fear

and enables us to trust in the faithfulness of God.

Follow Me!

//

It wonderful genius from God, to inspire a twofold celebration of these two apostles... it shows both unity and cooperation, but also a single vision...   one serving the communion and care of the universal church, the other a wonderful voice of mission and inclusion ....    a perfect balance...  

 

Let us pray for the unity and peace of the church and the world....  let us unite in common vision and united action...   let us be inspired by the different talents and different foci of mission but with the same Spirit leading and guiding us to bear much fruit...

 

We also pray in thanksgiving and blessing for all priests, many of whom have their anniversary of Priesthood at this time. May God continue to strengthen and guide and bless their ministry with much fruitfulness and clarity...

 

these wonderful apostles continue to interced for the Church and the world.....   for continuing unity, charity, courage and vision.

 

Saint Peter and Saint Paul...  pray for us.

Prologue: Even Our Lord hesitated at the enormousness of the cross..  at the garden of Gethsemane he prayed that this cup of suffering would be taken from him...  but then added (wonderfully) but not my will be done, but yours!   Nobody rushes towards suffering or prefers the Cross. The mystery of the cross is a difficult but central reality in the life of Christ and of us all.....  And in life, there are many little crosses as we journey along our path......... Helen Keller...   the American author, political activist, and lecturer, who was both deaf and blind.  She said the most extraordinary thing once...It is challenging and difficult to comprehend this message but it is the message of the Cross.......The following are her words and this is what she said motivated her life....."I thank God for my disabilities. For through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God!"     -    WOW.   What an amazing outlook...... one that transformed everything she did and said.   Because of... and despite many major obstacles in life, she did not let stop her.

13^th Sunday Ordinary Time Year A 2020

 

Throughout my life, there have been many times when I have witnessed that wonderful Aussie characteristic of "giving a bloke a chance", of digging deep in times of trouble. Through droughts and fires and numerous other disasters, people have done amazingly generous things for their fellow Australians, that have spurred the rest of us on to make some sacrifices ourselves, when at first we thought it doesn't have anything to do with me. That type of generosity is infectious, and, if done with a good spirit, brings its own rewards.

 

 "We take care of our own", is now a proud part of our tradition. But who is "our own" and when does 'taking care' start to become a burden? How do we respond when those who don't come from our "tribe", or traditions our lifestyle need that chance?

 

Certainly one of the most confronting issues in our world is the crisis surrounding refugees. People, who for a range of reasons, find they can no longer live in the country of their birth and must seek refuge elsewhere. Every day hundreds of thousands of people find it necessary to gather their family and belongings and search for security away from the place that they believed they would be safe.

 

You can only imagine what despair these people must have grappled with when they finally decided that the danger of departing was seen to be a better option than staying where they had established their house, employment and their family tradition. May we never know the trauma of having to take such desperate measures?

 

I wonder do these people ever know what will greet them when they arrive at some new place. Will they be greeted at all or will they find a country that will reject them like we would an invader. The only way these desperate people will survive is if they are welcomed into this new and often vastly different society.

 

In the sacred tradition of Israel, hospitality was regarded as one of the chief responsibilities of a caring people. The stranger, the outsider. The wayfarer. Anyone outside their home territory – all were regarded as people who were in need of special care.

 

The reason for this was enshrined in the Law "if a stranger lives with you in your land, do not harm him. You must count him as one of your own countrymen and love him as yourself – for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt." (Leviticus 19:33-34).

 

We should not be surprised to know that while this Law was held as sacred, as people settled in their lands and became established they started to worry about their own security before that of others. Eventually, they no longer looked to their community, their tribe for help, but started looking after their own property. They started to care for only those they knew.

 

 By the time Jesus was born, the people of Israel had settled into the land of Palestine, and since they were no longer a wandering people but had they land and security they wanted, their values and changed and so did their connection and responsibilities for each other.

 

In the Gospel of Matthew we hear clearly that Jesus was born into a place where he was not accepted. He had no security and had to be taken to Egypt for safety and shelter. From the very beginning of his life, he had to rely on the hospitality of others. In fact, the whole of Jesus adult life seemed to be one of taking to the road with his band of itinerant supporters. Where could he lay his head in a land of strangers? As they leave their own region of Galilee, they become refugees who have to depend on the hospitality of others to receive them and welcome their message.

 

It would seem that people did welcome his disciples, particularly those who need to hear the good news they were bringing. Those who welcomed them as holy messengers from God did receive their own reward in the form of healing and forgiveness. They came to discover that the message of a loving forgiving God was not a finite commodity like their land and belongings. That their hospitality was not a matter of bed and breakfast and goodbye, but rather it was the act of opening their hearts to the visit of God who came in the person of Jesus. In doing so they caught something of the goodness and values that Jesus showed them. They changed because of his visit.

 

And that is where hospitality begins; with an open door and open heart. Yes, it does extend beyond being comfortable. It goes beyond offering others some immediate assistance in the hope that they might go away and leave us alone. Supporting the stranger means first listening to what they have to say and providing practical support for them in their quest for belonging.

 

We profess that 'generosity to the needy' is now one of our proud Catholic characteristics, but it is often tempered with the concern of "What do I get out of this and how long does my giving last?" It is a question that our country must ask itself and it has no easy answer. Yet, if we as individuals are not sure about our answer, how can we expect to have any influence on the rest of the community? We offer no example to others if we are not prepared to practice what we profess to believe if we only take the comfortable bits of the Gospel message.

 

I suppose it comes down to see if we believe what Jesus proclaims when he says, people won't lose by their generosity to the cause of the Gospel. As he tells his messengers: "anyone who welcomes you welcomes me; and those who welcome me welcome the one who sent me".

 

In the end, it is God who is our guest.

HOMILY:

 

Thanks be to God for wonderful, faithful and obedient servants such as John the Baptist and his parents... 

 

Elizabeth and Zechariah were faithful..  they obeyed God, they hoped and trusted in the promises God has long ago made to his people.. and they obeyed God in cooperating in bringing God's will to fulfilment in their lives...  

 

John the Baptist Quotes

 

From his own lips...  John's words, recorded for the inspiration of countless generations include these:

 

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

(He prepared the world for the imminent coming of the saviour and pointed him out when he arrived)

                    

Anyone with two tunics should share with him who has none.

(In the anticipation of the wonderful and consistent values of the Kingdom from the beginning and revealed fully in Christ, he taught the ethics of concern and charity and justice to all our brothers and sisters in need).

 

Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

(He taught and practiced the change of heart and mind, the turning back to God and the rightness of trusting in God's mercy).

 

He must increase, but I must decrease.

(such an abiding example of humility... for all us disciples.. this is about Christ.. this not about us....   Christ must increase, we must step back and be servants of Christ's mission...  we are her to usher in the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of ME!)

 

///

 

The father's of the early church spoke rightly and highly of Saint John the Baptist.....

The Great speaker, John Chrysostom said this of John the Baptist:

 

 

"Such a one was John, who regarded not the crowds, nor opinion, nor anything else belonging to people, but trod all this beneath his feet, and proclaimed to all with becoming freedom the things respecting Christ. And therefore the Evangelist marks the very place, to show the boldness of the loud-voiced herald. For it was not in a house, not in a corner, not in the wilderness, but in the midst of the multitude, after that he had occupied Jordan, when all that were baptized by him were present, (for the Jewish people came upon him as he was baptizing,) there it was that he proclaimed aloud that wonderful confession concerning Christ, full of those sublime and great and mysterious doctrines, and that he was not worthy to unloose the strap of His shoe. Wherefore he says, These things were done in Bethany, or, as all the more correct copies have it, in Bethabara. For Bethany was not beyond Jordan, nor bordering on the wilderness, but somewhere near to Jerusalem." 

 

////

 

The best quote is reserved of course to Our Lord himself who summed up Saint John so extraordinarily:

"Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. (Matt 11:11)

 

 

William Barlcay explains this great compliment by Christ and also the meaning of this mysterious line at the end....

 

 

"Such was the tremendous tribute of Jesus to John, spoken with the accent of admiration. There had never been a greater figure in all history; and then comes the startling sentence: "But he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he."

 

Here there is one quite general truth. With Jesus there came into the world something absolutely new. The prophets were great; their message was precious; but with Jesus there emerged something still greater, and a message still more wonderful. C. G. Montefiore, himself a Jew and not a Christian, writes: "Christianity does mark a new era in religious history and in human civilization. What the world owes to Jesus and to Paul is immense; things can never be, and men can never think, the same as things were, and as men thought, before these two great men lived." Even a non-Christian freely admits that things could never be the same now that Jesus had come.

 

But what was it that John lacked? What is it that the Christian has that John could never have? The answer is simple and fundamental. John had never seen the Cross. Therefore one thing John could never know--the full revelation of the love of God. The holiness of God he might know; the justice of God he might declare; but the love of God in all its fulness he could never know. We have only to listen to the message of John and the message of Jesus. No one could call John's message a gospel, good news; it was basically a threat of destruction. It took Jesus and his Cross to show to men the length, breadth, depth and height of the love of God. It is a most amazing thing that it is possible for the humblest Christian to know more about God than the greatest of the Old Testament prophets. The man who has seen the Cross has seen the heart of God in a way that no man who lived before the Cross could ever see it. Indeed the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than any man who went before.

 

So John had the destiny which sometimes falls to people; he had the task of pointing all the world to a greatness into which he himself did not enter. It is given to some people in History, to be the signposts of God. They point to a new ideal and a new greatness which others will enter into, but into which they will not come. It is very seldom that any great person of moment in history is the first one to toil for the reform with which their name is connected. Many who went before them glimpsed the glory, often laboured for it, and sometimes died for it, yet did not live to see it fulfilled in completeness.

 

There is a legend told of person who, from the windows of his house every evening, used to watch the lamp-lighter go along the streets lighting the lamps--and the lamp-lighter was himself a blind man. He was bringing to others the light which he himself would never see. Let a person never be discouraged in the Church or in any other walk of life, if the dream they have dreamed and for which they have toiled is never worked out before the end of their days. God needed John; God needs his signposts who can point people on the way, although they themselves decreased before that goal is achieved."   Great is the reward they laboured for in God's vineyard…..  

 

Saint John the Baptist,,,    and Saints Elizabeth and Zechariah…  pray for us…
