Solemnity of Pentecost
Sing a new song
A “sequence” is part of the Liturgy of the Word, sung before the
gospel on the greatest feasts in the year. However, it seems to be
hardly ever sung anymore. Does it “prolong” the liturgy? Why not
celebrate the gift of God’s Spirit today and discover yourself embraced
by God’s Spirit in one of these thrilling manifestations: Come,
Holy Spirit. Come, father of the poor, giver of gifts, light of the heart.
Greatest comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweet consolation. In labor,
rest,
in heat, temperance, in tears, solace. Cleanse what is unclean, water that
which is dry, heal that which is wounded. Bend that which is inflexible,
fire
that which is chilled, correct what goes astray. Grant eternal joy.
Today’s readings: Day: Acts 2:1-11; Galatians 5:16-25 or 1
Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13; Sequence Veni Sancte Spiritus; John
20:19-23 (63). “He breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive
the Holy Spirit.’ ”
Monday, May 25
Feast of Bede the Venerable , priest , Doctor of the church
So many books, so little time
You know the drill: You buy the book, then never read it. It gathers
dust and remorse the longer it sits on the shelf. Your intentions
were sincere, but time always seems short, energy scarce. It’s much
easier to watch television or surf the internet than to give yourself
to the pursuit of learning! The Venerable Bede made the time: for
learning languages, studying scripture, pouring over histories, and
becoming truly wise. Today we begin a week of reading Sirach, a
compilation of acquired wisdom. Turn off the media and find three
wise sayings in Sirach meant for you.
Today’s readings: Sirach 17:20-24; Mark 10:17-27 (347). “No
more can the dead give praise than those who have never lived.”
Tuesday, May 26 Feast of Philip Neri , priest
Let your life be your sermon
Philip Neri was a popular spiritual advisor and confessor. But this
“saint of Rome” who lived during the Council of Trent also was
criticized by some for allowing laymen to preach and for using
hymns written in the language of the people. History is a great
teacher that in this case reminds us that a saint of the church recognized
the richness of faith within the laity of his day and encouraged
the use of everyday language in the singing of hymns. Say a
prayer of gratitude today for the faith that is yours alone to preach
by the way in which you live.
Today’s readings: Sirach 35:1-12; Mark 10:28-31 (348). “But
many that are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
Wednesday, May 27
Feast of Augustine of Canterbury , bishop , religious , missionary
The original Canterbury tale Imagine being uprooted from a monastic life
and told to march across medieval Europe to Christianize a far-flung
kingdom with unknown gods. This was the task given to Augustine of
Canterbury, a Benedictine monk who became the first archbishop of Canterbury
and a founder of the English church in the year 597. We would not be talking about Augustine today had he listened to the men in his mission who,
seeing the task before them, urged Augustine to turn back and cancel the
undertaking soon after it began. Encouraged by Pope Gregory the Great,
Augustine and the men persevered and succeeded. If we stay the course
through the difficult times, our mission of faith—large or small—can
and will be completed. Hang in there! Today’s readings: Sirach 36:1, 4-5a,
10-17; Mark 10:32-45 (349). “Come to our aid, O God of the universe, look
upon us, show us the light of your mercies.”
Thursday, May 28
Let failings lead you to faith
Many of us find it difficult to ask for help. We would much rather
give than be vulnerable enough to receive. While faith tells us that
God is in charge, we so often forget and live as if we are in control
of our lives. Then something stops us in our tracks: a disappointment,
a diagnosis, a failure, or a death. And in that moment pride
is revealed for the false god that it is and we cry out, “Master, help
me see.” Write a note of gratitude to someone whose “strength has
been revealed in weakness.”
Today’s readings: Sirach 42:15-25; Mark 10:46-52 (350). “Many rebuked
him telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more.”
Friday, May 29
A prayer for the ages
Shrines, home altars, burial grounds, memorial services—these are
all common ways people honor their ancestors. For Christians, we
have the Litany of Saints, one of the oldest prayers in Christianity,
where we call to mind the holy men and women in our salvation
history. The litany is most often sung at Easter Vigil Mass and All
Saints Day, but many of us also pray modified litanies each night
calling out the names of our own special circle of saints: God bless
Mom, God bless Dad . . . . Remembering the goodness and faithfulness
of living and departed holy men and women is the first step
in paying our respects. To ensure a lasting legacy, we must follow
their examples of radical love.
Today’s readings: Sirach 44:1, 9-13; Mark 11:11-26 (351). “Now
will I praise those godly men, our ancestors, each in his own time.”
Saturday, May 30
Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary
She just keeps showing up
Some people put great faith in the apparitions of Mary—those
times throughout history when the Mother of Jesus has been reported
to appear, speak, and sometimes perform a miraculous sign.
The church officially makes belief in Marian apparitions a matter of
decision, not doctrine. Still, as one Protestant believer has phrased
it, whether you credit these visions or not, what do you make of
the idea that folks throughout history and around the world keep
seeing her? Mary speaks to our longing for a personal encounter
with the sacred. She had one. We’re all invited to be Christ-bearers.
Today’s readings: Sirach 51:12c-20; Mark 11:27-33 (352). “When I was
young and innocent, I sought wisdom openly in my prayer.”
