John Robert Skeldon By the time this is read, the Holy Father Pope Francis will have issued his new encyclical Laudato Si’ (Praised Be You, O Lord). The title comes from St. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of Creation which is a prayer of praise to God for nature and creation. All of creation, including the sun, earth, moon, wind, rain, fire, stars, even death, is referred to in familial and intimate terms of brother and sister. St. Francis wants to be intimately connected to all of creation, and his papal namesake Pope Francis wants all of humanity to know their interconnectedness and relationship to “our common home”… Earth. This most authoritative form of papal teaching—an encyclical letter—is liable to cause waves, which is sometimes good. Sometimes we need to be awakened, roused up, shaken up. The disciples certainly were shaken up in the boat in this Sunday’s gospel passage, and Jesus himself was stirred from sleep. As Pope Francis did with his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), so he will do with his encyclical letter Laudato Si’ (Praised Be You, O Lord). This gospel text is multivalent on several levels. I already referenced one of the ways above. Another way of interpreting this passage is as a summons to rouse the sleeping Christ within us. This is how the great St. Augustine did it. He saw the violent storm and the crashing waves as a symbol of the temptations that can drown all of humanity, all of us. The tempest of temptations. He writes: “A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the sea. This is the moment to awaken Christ and let him remind you of those words: ‘Who can this be? Even the winds and sea obey him’” (Augustine, Sermon 63). When we get caught up in temptation to live immorally, to not love God and our neighbor, we must rouse Christ within us who will save us from sinking more into our sins, more into our faults, more into our very selves: “Do you not care that we are perishing?” is our cry. It is like the cry of the psalmist in Psalm 44: “Awake! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Rise up! Do not reject us forever!” (Ps. 44:24) And like the cry of the one in Psalm 130: “Out of the depths I call to you, Lord; Lord, hear my cry!” (Ps. 130:1-2) When we seem overcome and inundated by sin and evil in our life, we must awaken the sleeping Christ within us who will repudiate the storms of sin and selfishness, fear and pusillanimity. He will command them to desist, to fall back, to be quiet. He will not let evil control our lives. We must trust, though; we must not be afraid that he can, and that he will, do this. For, he is an awesome, generous, merciful, compassionate and magnanimous God! As we face life and its many tempests of temptations, let us “awaken Christ” to rebuke the waves of sin and the winds of evil. We pray those very intimate, direct words of the psalmist, which is authentically the language of prayer: “Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever!” (Ps. 44:24). St. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of Creation O Most High, all-powerful, good Lord God, to you belong praise, glory, honour and all blessing. Be praised, my Lord, for all your creation and especially for our Brother Sun, who brings us the day and the light; he is strong and shines magnificently. O Lord, we think of you when we look at him. Be praised, my Lord, for Sister Moon, and for the stars which you have set shining and lovely in the heavens. Be praised, my Lord, for our Brothers Wind and Air and every kind of weather by which you, Lord, uphold life in all your creatures. Be praised, my Lord, for Sister Water, who is very useful to us, and humble and precious and pure. Be praised, my Lord, for Brother Fire, through whom you give us light in the darkness: he is bright and lively and strong. Be praised, my Lord, for Sister Earth, our Mother, who nourishes us and sustains us, bringing forth fruits and vegetables of many kinds and flowers of many colours. Be praised, my Lord, for those who forgive for love of you; and for those who bear sickness and weakness in peace and patience - you will grant them a crown. Be praised, my Lord, for our Sister Death, whom we must all face. I praise and bless you, Lord, and I give thanks to you, and I will serve you in all humility. Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon Para cuando este sea leído, el Santo Padre Francisco ya habrá emitido su encíclica nueva Laudato Si '(Alabado seas, oh Señor). El título proviene del Cántico de la Creación de San Francisco de Asís, que es una oración de alabanza a Dios por la naturaleza y la creación. Toda la creación, incluyendo el sol, la tierra, la luna, el viento, la lluvia, fuego, estrellas, incluso la muerte, se denomina en términos familiares e íntimos de hermano y hermana. San Francisco quiere estar íntimamente conectado a toda la creación, y su homónimo papal, Papa Francisco quiere dar a conocer a toda la humanidad su interconexión y relación con "nuestro hogar en común”... la Tierra. Esta forma de enseñanza papal más autoritaria - una carta encíclica - es susceptible a causar olas, que a veces es bueno. A veces tenemos que ser despertados, levantados, hasta sacudidos. Los discípulos sin duda fueron sacudidos en el barco en el pasaje del Evangelio de este domingo, y el mismo Jesús fue perturbado de su sueño. Así como el Papa Francisco hizo con su exhortación apostólica Evangelii Gaudium (La alegría del Evangelio), lo hará con su encíclica Laudato Si '(Alabado seas, oh Señor). Este texto evangélico es de múltiple valor en varios niveles. Ya hice referencia a una de las formas en el párrafo anterior. Otra forma de interpretar este pasaje es, que es un llamado para despertar al Cristo que duerme dentro de nosotros. Así es como el gran San Agustín lo hizo. Vio la tormenta violenta y las olas rompiendo como un símbolo de las tentaciones que pueden ahogar a toda la humanidad, a todos nosotros. La tempestad de tentaciones. Él escribe: "Surge una tentación: es el viento. Te perturba: es el surgimiento de la mar. Este es el momento de despertar a Cristo y dejarlo que te recuerde esas palabras: "¿Quién puede ser este? Hasta los vientos y el mar le obedecen"(Agustín, Sermón 63). Cuando nos vemos atrapados en la tentación de vivir inmoralmente, de no amar a Dios y al prójimo, debemos despertar al Cristo dentro de nosotros, que nos salvará de hundirnos más en nuestros pecados, más en nuestras faltas, más en nosotros mismos: "¿no te importa que nos hundamos?" Es nuestro grito. Es como el grito del salmista en el Salmo 44: "¡Despiértate! ¿Por qué duermes, Señor? ¡Levántate! No nos rechaces para siempre" (Salmo 44:24). Y como el grito de aquel en el Salmo 130: "¡Desde lo hondo a ti grito, Señor; Señor, escucha mi clamor!" (Salmo 130: 1-2.) Cuando nos vemos superados e inundados por el pecado y la maldad en nuestra vida, debemos despertar al Cristo que duerme dentro de nosotros, Él es quien repudiará las tormentas del pecado y el egoísmo, el miedo y la pusilanimidad. Él las mandará a desistir, a retroceder, a callar. No permitirá que el maligno controle nuestras vidas. Pero debemos confiar; no hay que tener miedo, Él puede hacer esto, y lo hará. Porque ¡Él es un Dios maravilloso, generoso, misericordioso, compasivo y magnánimo! A medida que nos enfrentamos a la vida y sus muchas tempestades de tentaciones, “despertemos a Cristo" para reprender las olas del pecado y los vientos del mal. Oremos esas palabras muy íntimas y directas del salmista, que es auténticamente el lenguaje de la oración: "¡Despierta! ¿Por qué duermes, Señor? ¡Levántate, no nos rechaces para siempre! "(Sal. 44:24). EL CÁNTI CO DE LAS CRIATURAS De San Francisco de Asís Altísimo y omnipotente buen Señor, tuyas son las alabanzas, la gloria y el honor y toda bendición. A ti solo, Altísimo, te convienen y ningún hombre es digno de nombrarte. Alabado seas, mi Señor, en todas tus criaturas, especialmente en el Señor hermano sol, por quien nos das el día y nos iluminas. Y es bello y radiante con gran esplendor, de ti, Altísimo, lleva significación. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por la hermana luna y las estrellas, en el cielo las formaste claras y preciosas y bellas. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por el hermano viento y por el aire y la nube y el cielo sereno y todo tiempo, por todos ellos a tus criaturas das sustento. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por el hermano fuego, por el cual iluminas la noche, y es bello y alegre y vigoroso y fuerte. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por la hermana nuestra madre tierra, la cual nos sostiene y gobierna y produce diversos frutos con coloridas flores y hierbas. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por aquellos que perdonan por tu amor, y sufren enfermedad y tribulación; bienaventurados los que las sufran en paz, porque de ti, Altísimo, coronados serán. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por nuestra hermana muerte corporal, de la cual ningún hombre viviente puede escapar. Ay de aquellos que mueran en pecado mortal. Bienaventurados a los que encontrará en tu santísima voluntad porque la muerte segunda no les hará mal. Alaben y bendigan a mi Señor y denle gracias y sírvanle con gran humildad.

A JOB OR A MINISTRY If you are doing it because no one else will, it’s a job. If you are doing it to serve the LORD, it’s a ministry. If you are doing it just well enough to get by, it’s a job. If you are doing it to the best of your ability, it’s a ministry. If you are doing it just so long as it doesn’t interfere with other activities, it’s a job. If you are committed to staying with it, even when it means letting go of other things, it’s a ministry. If you quit because no one praised you or thanked you, it was a job. If you stay with it even when no one seems to notice, it’s a ministry. If you do it because someone else said it needs to be done, it’s a job. If you do it because you are convinced it needs to be done, it’s a ministry. It is hard to get excited about a job. It is almost impossible not to get excited about a ministry. People may say, “Well done,” when you do your job. The LORD will say, “Well done,” when you complete your ministry. An average church is filled with people doing jobs. A great “magnanimous” church is filled with people involved in ministry. Author unknown. Mary Ann Leino, Lector Coordinator, shared this at the Ministries Fair.
