Cimply Putting It…
When will we ever learn?...Probably one of the greatest testimonies of the fact of original sin and how we fail to learn
from our past, is the problem of racism in our world. Today
it has rekindled in many of our cities in the USA. What has
our history taught us? Have we really learned anything from
our past?
Monday we honor Martin Luther King. If you ask somebody
who Martin Luther King, Jr. was, or if you go by what you
might hear or read in the media, you will probably be told
that he was a great civil rights leader and social activist.
This is true. But at the heart of it, Martin Luther King was a
Christian pastor—he was an American Baptist Minister.
One of King’s favorite terms was what he called the “Beloved
Community”. As he promoted justice, his goal was not to
defeat his opponents, not to bring down the oppressors, but to
bring about reconciliation. As a minister he often prayed for
his enemies.
One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King comes from an essay
he wrote called “The World House”. Here’s a part of it.
“Some years ago a famous novelist died. Among his papers
was found a list of suggested plots for future stories, the most
prominently underscored being this one: “A widely separated
family inherits a house in which they have to live together.”
This is the great new problem of humankind. We have inherited a large house, a great ‘world house’ in which we have to
live together—black and white, Easterner and Westerner,
Gentile and Jew, Catholic and Protestant, Moslem and
Hindu—a family unduly separated in ideas, culture and interest, who because we can never again live apart, must learn
somehow to live with each other in peace...All inhabitants of
the globe are now neighbors.”
Dr. King’s Beloved Community is a global vision, in which
all people share in the goodness of the earth. In the Beloved
Community, poverty, hunger, and homelessness will not be
tolerated because human decency will not allow it. Racism,
bigotry and prejudice will be replaced by an all-inclusive
spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood. In the Beloved Community, disputes will be resolved by peaceful conflict-resolution
and reconciliation of adversaries instead of military power.
Love and trust will triumph over fear and hatred. As early as
1956—I was just 4 years old—King spoke of the Beloved
Community as the end goal.
Some of King’s detractors like to point out that he was a human being, that he had faults, and human foibles. This is
true. He was certainly not a saint. He made mistakes in
JANUARY 18, 2015
judgment. He put his marriage to the test. He suffered from
human facilities, like anxiety and depression. But Christianity proclaims a God who came to us as we are, accepted us as
we are, forgave us and gave us new life, and thus revealed
that we do not have to be perfect in order to be loved by God.
It is often in suffering where we come together. I remember a
story of a news correspondent who told about a time when
there was a bomb that exploded in Israel. Bloodied people
were everywhere. A man came running up to the correspondent holding a little girl in his arms. He pleaded with him to
take her to the hospital. As a member of the press he would
be able to get through the security cordon that had been
thrown around the explosion scene. They jumped into his car
and rushed to the hospital. The whole time the man was
pleading with the correspondent to drive faster. Sadly the
little girl’s injuries were too great and she died in the hospital. When the doctor came out to give them the news the man
collapsed in tears. The correspondent was lost for words.
Finally he said, “I don't know what to say. I can’t imagine
what you must be going through. I never lost a child.” But
the man said, “Oh, no! That girl is not my daughter. I’m
Israeli. She was Palestinian. But there comes a time when
each of us must realize that every child, regardless of that
child's background, is a daughter or a son. There comes a
time when we realize that we are all family.”
I wonder if I’ll ever see that time?
Two items for your consideration...First, if you have not yet
scheduled a sitting for our new St. Michael pictorial directory, would you do so? You can schedule a time online on
our Parish website or by calling the Parish office. Remember
there is no cost to you and you receive a free picture and a
new directory.
Second, in celebration of the 125th anniversary of our Diocese, Bishop Swain will be celebrating an all Diocesan
Catholic School Mass at the arena this Wednesday at 11:30
a.m. If your schedule permits, please join us. It is to celebrate Catholic Schools Week and Bishop Swain has always
wanted to attempt to get all the Catholic School children in
our Diocese together for a Mass. It promises to be a wonderful celebration.
I feel so privileged to be part of this great family of St. Michael Parish. We are called together each weekend. Called
to follow the Lord together, called to live together in this Beloved Community. May it be so. Amen.
Make it a great week. clc
