Contemplative Sound Bytes Fr. Ronald Rolheiser Recently I attended an Institute on contemplative awareness at which James Finley was the keynote-speaker. He brings some pedigree to the task. He has nearly forty years of experience as a therapist, is a much sought-after lecturer, has written extensively and deeply on the subject of contemplation, and, as a young man, for several years, had Thomas Merton as his spiritual director and mentor. He knows of what he speaks. I would like to share some of his insights with you by way of a collage of sound bytes, each of which has a certain “stand-alone” quality; but, when taken together, also shed some light on the nature of God, on the nature of contemplation, and on our struggles with both faith and contemplation. Here are some of Finley’s perspectives: • The mystics bear witness to the perfectly holy nature of human existence, to the fact that we are infinitely loved and held in existence by love, and that there are times when we momentarily glimpse and taste that in our lives. A mystic is a person who has been transformed by such an experience. slow deep natural breaths. Have your hands in a comfortable position. Then be present, open, and awake: Do not cling to nor reject anything that comes to you in thought. As a thought arises, let it arise, if it lingers, let it linger, if it passes away, let it pass away, but don’t let the thought carry you away with it. Move gently and slowly in prayer - don’t violate your body’s stillness. • A recommended exercise: Go to your room just before sunset some night for no other reason than to be there with God when the sun sets. Have absolutely no other agenda than to watch it grow dark. Sit for a full hour. Sit in the unrelenting sovereignty of the day’s end. Sit in radical obedience to the falling light. You’ll know solitude. • People who pray regularly generally do not pray well ... but they become persons who rely upon God to make their prayer well. And those who pray regularly will, like everyone else, still experience sadness and death, but sadness and death will no longer have a tyranny over them. • There is a difference between spiritual “sweetness” and spiritual “consolation”: “Sweetness” is feeling good while in prayer; “consolation” is the sense of having your heart enlarged (and that can be painful). • Anxiety comes from our estrangement from the consciousness of God’s love inside us. • Quoting Gabriel Marcel: We know we love someone when we glimpse in that person something that is too beautiful to die. • Why do we spend so many hours trapped outside the richness of our own lives, living like persons standing outside our own houses looking in through the windows of our own homes? Or, worse still, why are we inside our own houses but in a mental condition that has us believing we are living outside? What must we do to wake up before we die? • From Theresa of Avila: - When you reach the highest level of human maturity, you will have just one question: How can I be helpful - Love is two people sitting in a room, talking to each other. Neither knows what to say, but they recognize each other. • Our lives are habitually pressured and so this is the perennial task: How do we, in the midst of our pressured lives, give ourselves over to the love that holds us? We cannot make a graced moment happen, but we can work at putting ourselves into a position where we offer the least resistance to be overtaken by a graced moment. • Contemplative awareness isn’t hard to find - it’s hard to not run away from. • Contemplative awareness is seeing things as they are. It’s resting in God. To be in contemplative awareness is to sit like “an unlearned child”, in a time of “non-thinking”. • By sitting still we can learn to be still. Contemplation depends upon fidelity: If you are faithful to your practice, your practice will be faithful to you. • There are some simple rules for the practice of contemplation: Sit still. Sit straight. Have your eyes closed or lowered. Take • Why do the Buddhists speak of “emptiness” in relationship to the concept of God? They do so to refer to God’s infinite simplicity, that is, God as God is before all the distinctions made about God. “Emptiness” is our standing before God’s ineffability, utterly overwhelmed by an over-fullness. • How can we be helpful in the face of others’ suffering when we feel so helpless to do anything about it? When persons share their fragility and pain with someone who hears with a true listening, those others uncover inside themselves the ‘pearl of great price’. And not least: • The generosity of the Infinite is infinite. Among other things, this means that we must give ourselves over to a generous orthodoxy. • To be unknown by God is altogether too much privacy! • With God, a little sincerity goes a long way!

Follow Old St. Pat’s on: A wAkenings Mysterious Relationships — Human and Divine by Keara Ette I have never considered myself an “expert” at relationships. In fact, I am generally happy to claim the title of “queen of awkwardness” when it comes to developing and sustaining relationships with people. I suppose part of this comes from my long history of fumbling my way through interactions, Keara Ette conversations, and the often complex process of developing and sharing intimacy. It is impossible for me to look at my life and not recall countless moments (i.e., the “blooper” clips) of the times when I said silly things, made stupid decisions, was thoughtless and careless, and found myself humbled and seeking forgiveness from everyone from colleagues to acquaintances to family members. And yet, I suppose the gift of this era of my life has been the ability to see these shortcomings as also sometimes necessary bumps along the path of developing relationships that actually matter. I can honestly say that these days, there is no ‘”thing” I value more than being connected to another person or persons in community … and connected in a way that is going to require vulnerability, awkwardness, mistakes, forgiveness, healing, and grace. And with all the “blooper” moments that fill my past (and still make me blush), I can say with confidence that I would prefer to experience more of these in the future if it means I am able to keep diving into relationships (big and small, short- and long-term) that reveal grace and can form me and my future for the better. I thought that when I came before God I should be composed and know precisely what I was going to say and how to say it eloquently. As I do all of this reflection on what being in relationship means to me, I also consider whether my relationship with God is one that is parallel to or diverges from this model. I admit that for a long time, I thought that what happened between me and God — our conversations, expressions, how I carried myself, etc. — really ought to be a more polished version of what I was able to pull off with other people. For instance: though I was unsurprised when I would invariably say something awkward in a social setting, I thought that when I came before God I should 3 be composed and know precisely what I was going to say and how to say it eloquently. Before entering into prayer, I should have at least some sense of whether I was approaching the Divine with an apology, with words of praise and thanksgiving, or perhaps respectful expression of my needs or hopes. Years of prayer, spiritual direction, study, and just plain “growing up” have changed my perspective on this, too. Our Jewish ancestors have taught me that to be fully human means not only to cry out to others when in pain or joy … but also to truly cry out to God at all these moments of life. And Jesus’ open invitation to approach his (and our) heavenly Father by addressing him with the familiar “Daddy!” has slowly opened the gates for me. These days, I have enjoyed the freedom and peace that has resulted from coming before God with child-like shyness and my signature awkwardness. So when my heart is breaking because of personal grief or frustration with some aspect of our collective human frailties, I am more fully human when I stop trying to be “polished” and put-together and simply come before God with my tears, my wounds, and my frustrations — and even include some screaming/yelling, if I am so moved! And then there are those moments of life (like my past weeks and months of awaiting the arrival of our baby) when I have felt humbled by both the outpouring of love from friends and family and the embarrassingly-extravagant and mysterious work God has been doing in my midst. And in moments like these, instead of trying to find the right prayer from a book or approach God with plannedout words, I have enjoyed the freedom and peace that has resulted from coming before God with child-like shyness and my signature awkwardness — even averting my gaze and saying virtually nothing — but knowing that is exactly where and in what state I need to be! And in my imagination, God receives this with the loving laughter and beaming approval of a parent. For, so often, leaving us speechless and in humble awe and gratitude is precisely what God was going for in the first place! Keara Ette is Director of Faith Formation at Old St. Patrick’s Church.

Items are sorted by date, freshness and quality and are repacked for distribution. • Should a large group be present at the same time we serve, we may be part of assembling “emergency food packages” providing provisions for a family of four for four days. Each volunteer adds the same item to each package (moving on a continuously running conveyor belt). Our goal is to assemble 1,000 packages. • Various kinds of cereal, pasta, or rice arrive in 300 - 500 pound drums. These items are repackaged into convenient size packages, labeled and packed for distribution. • Administrative assignments for those not able to stand for three hours: These asssignments, when available, involve mailings and compilation of publicity packets.

J. Michels, Lisa Oakes, Mary Carol O’Brien, Martha O’Kelly, Roxanne Rochester Women and Men of Faith July 26 Sts. Joachim and Anne In the Scriptures, Matthew and Luke furnish a legal family history of Jesus, tracing ancestry to show that Jesus is the culmination of great promises. Not only is his mother’s family neglected, we also know nothing factual about them except that they existed. Even the names Joachim and Anne come from a legendary source written more than a century after Jesus died. The heroism and holiness of these people, however, is inferred from the whole family atmosphere around Mary in the Scriptures. Whether we rely on the legends about Mary’s childhood or make guesses from the information in the Bible, we see in her a fulfillment of many generations of prayerful persons, herself steeped in the religious traditions of her people. The strong character of Mary in making decisions, her continuous practice of prayer, her devotion to the laws of her faith, her steadiness at moments of crisis, and her devotion to her relatives—all indicate a closeknit, loving family that looked forward to the next generation even while retaining the best of the past. Joachim and Anne represent that entire quiet series of generations who faithfully perform their duties, practice their faith and establish an atmosphere for the coming of the Messiah, but who remain humble and happy to exist in relative obscurity. Adapted from www.americancatholic.org For Those Who Have Recently Died Maureen Bordes, Carole Luedke, Karen O’Connor Prayer Requests: Names of the sick or recently deceased are listed for one week in the prayers of the faithful and two subsequent weeks in the bulletin.
