Padre's Post-The Presentation Of Jesus In The Temple
(An
excerpt from this Sunday, Feb 4, homily)
"...We,
who are small, and tired, and weary can connect with the eternal source of love
and kindness and life. We come together, even as few as two or three, to call
upon God to act on behalf of us all, and especially those who suffer horribly
in places where whole people groups are targeted for persecution and injustice.
We come together and pray and advocate for those
who languish without assistance, who hide in fear of injustice, who exchange
wellness and freedom for substance and addiction.
We, like Jesus before us, are called to
assert our place that he left to us amidst our own villages and communities
bringing relief and healing to the sick and casting out the evil that corrupts
the creation of God. You may call them demons or you may call them greed,
prejudice, racism, sexism, addiction, abuse, violence, injustice, apathy,
arrogance, despotism, poverty, discrimination, etc… and so forth.
When we who are small and powerless face
these giants on our own we are overcome. But when we, as the saints throughout
the ages have done, invoke the one who "established the foundations of the
earth, who sits high above the circle of the earth, who brings princes to
naught and makes the rulers of the earth as nothing" when we bring before
God day and night our prayers, it is then that we, the meek, inherit the earth,
to champion the holy causes of wellness and to bring dignity to all human
beings, and to the whole creation...
Fr. Richard
