Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Walk By Faith
About the time you read this, a number of your fellow parishioners and myself are on the final
part of our pilgrimage through Ireland. In fact, we should have just finished our time at Knock in County
Mayo, where the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist, as well as the image of a lamb on
an altar, appeared before fifteen people, at the church gable, back in 1879. Unlike other Marian apparitions, there was no spoken message. She remained silent. This is an incredible place, one which I have
returned to on numerous occasions, especially since I made the promise to our Lady, that if I became a
priest I would return to say a Mass of Thanksgiving at her shrine.
Marian devotion has decreased over the years, especially since the 1960’s and 1970’s. Part of this
has to do with the perceived changes made with the Second Vatican Council, however, nowhere in those
documents is Mary’s place in our Faith lessened, in fact it is reaffirmed. “While in the most holy Virgin
the Church has already reached that perfection whereby she is without spot or wrinkle, the followers of
Christ still strive to increase in holiness by conquering sin. And so they turn their eyes to Mary who shines
forth to the whole community of the elect as the model of virtues. Piously meditating on her and contemplating her in the light of the Word made man, the Church with reverence enters more intimately into the
great mystery of the Incarnation and becomes more and more like her Spouse.” (Lumen Gentium, 65)
Part of the reason may be the desire to interact more with our Protestant Brothers and Sisters, yet
more non-Catholic and non-Orthodox faith communities are turning back to Marian devotions. It still
astounds me that groups identifying themselves as Pentecostal or Bible Based, who established themselves
on the rejection of the Cult of the Saints and the Cult of the Virgin, should now adopt the Rosary and
other devotions, in order to attract those who have either fallen away from the Catholic Church, or desire
to participate in something that their own worship communities were missing. Over ten years ago, upon
entering St. John’s Episcopalian Cathedral in Manhattan, I was greeted with the icon of the Black
Madonna of Czestochowa, an article of worship that was definitely out of place in a Cathedral of the
Anglican Communion; then again there were a number of saints’ statues that were out of place. All of this
really does point to a desire among Christians to draw nearer to Christ through Mary, because it is
through her humanity that Christ entered into the world.
There are two other reasons why Catholics do not focus on Mary as much as we used to: one is
that we do not identify with the humility of the Virgin Mary anymore, or that we do not admire this virtue
in ourselves or anyone else. In a world where we are taught to succeed no matter what, and to look out for
our own interests before we worry about other people, why would we want to identify with a young girl
who placed her entire life into the hands of God, announcing herself the servant of the Lord, and for
“it (to) be done to me according to (His) word.” Why would we want to identify ourselves with someone
who only appears at brief times in the Bible, and is not given the great speaking lines that the Apostles are
given.
The final, and most unsettling reason for the decline of Marian devotion is that people just do not
care anymore; not only about Mary, but about the Faith in general. Everything seems so far removed from
the reality of the day, Heaven, God, the Sacrifice of the Cross all seem irrelevant compared to the desire to
make more money, or be popular , to see what the popular people are doing or even to increase the
amount of make believe cows we own online. Part of it is that we are too busy, we do not have the time to
take out the rosary beads and run them through the fingers that are occupied with our phones.
Perhaps in this month of Mary, we can take the example of Our Lady of Knock, and be silent in
the presence of the Lord.
Pax, Fr. Henry

Es interesante hacernos esta pregunta: ¿Por qué
nuestras claves de felicidad no coinciden con las de
Dios? La parábola representa el drama de la llamada
de Dios al hombre. Le invita a sentarse a la mesa con
él. Dios sigue llamando e invitando, pero los
hombres seguimos desoyendo y rechazando. Qué
estás esperando para volver a Dios?.
LA HISTORIA DE UNA INVITACION:
(Mt. 22,1-14)
La parábola de hoy lleva hasta el extremo la
denuncia de Jesús contra los dirigentes y
poderosos. El rechazo de la invitación de Dios ha
sido expresado inmediatamente antes por
la parábola de los 2 hijos y la de los viñadores
homicidas, del domingo anterior. Allá no sorprende tanto su actitud. Al fin y al cabo se trata de
trabajar en la viña y dar al dueño el fruto de su
trabajo. No es extraño que esto no les gustara.
Pero resulta incomprensible e insultante el desprecio permanente que hacen al rey que los invita
al banquete de bodas de su hijo.
La dura crítica de Jesús quedaría incompleta, si
olvidásemos la segunda parte de la parábola. En
ella la invitación se extiende a aquellos que son
conocidos como la gente de la calle, los más
pobres y humildes. Como dirá San Pablo, “es lo
débil del mundo lo que Dios ha escogido para
confundir a los fuertes” (1 Cor 1,27).
Mateo agregó lo del traje inadecuado, es un
llamado de atención a los primeros cristianos. Esto
quiere decir que, la invitación gratuita de Jesús no
debe degenerar, como en el caso de los primeros
invitados, en descortesía, rechazo e irresponsabilidad. La gratuidad de Dios reclama la responsabilidad del hombre.
El banquete y la boda son siempre en la Biblia
símbolo de amistad, comunión y felicidad. La
parábola describe el reino de Dios como el único
lugar en donde realmente se pueden dar esos valores. Pero los hombres buscamos todo eso por otros
caminos y derroteros y soñamos con otras formas
de felicidad. Pero, como dice un adagio francés,
cuando la felicidad nos sale al paso, no lleva nunca
el ropaje con el cual esperábamos encontrarla.
