“He who possesses God lacks nothing: God alone suffices.”
St. Teresa of Ávila
Forming the Flock
Weekly Gospel Reflection by Fr. BryanAlthough she was not the first to record it, Lynn Anderson’s version of “Rose Garden” became the standard for female Country and Western singers to “cross-over” into pop. The song, more famously known as “(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden” became a world-wide hit, with Country Music Television (CMT) putting it in its 2003 list of “100 Greatest Songs of Country Music.” You might remember these lyrics from a part of the refrain:
I beg your pardonI never promised you a rose gardenAlong with the sunshineThere's gotta be a little rain some timeWhen you take you gotta give so live and let live
(Continued from previous page)
Don’t worry, this step is not about bringing the people into the church and polling everyone on what should be done (as that alone would create more conflict between people), but by seeking the help of other Christians who hopefully will pray and pursue a solution based on Christian love and wisdom rather than relying on worldly coercive force or legal action.
Lastly, if even the Christian community fails to bring about reconciliation, Jesus seems to say that we have the right to abandon stubborn and obdurate offenders and treat them like social outcasts. But even in this action, we must be Christian. Remember how Jesus often gathered with tax-collectors and other public sinners – Jesus refuses no one who is open to receive pardon, healing, and restoration. Even if outcast, we still pray for the conversion of the offender.
So, back to a more practical view of conflict resolution, when we are offended a sign of true Christian love would be to put aside our own grievance and injury in order to help heal our brother or sister’s wound. Consider this quote from St. Augustine of Hippo:
"If someone has done you injury and you have suffered, what should be done? You have heard the answer already in today's scripture: 'If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone.' If you fail to do so, you are worse than he is. He has done someone harm, and by doing harm he has stricken himself with a grievous wound. Will you then completely disregard your brother's wound? Will you simply watch him stumble and fall down? Will you disregard his predicament? If so, you are worse in your silence than he in his abuse. Therefore, when any one sins against us, let us take great care, but not merely for ourselves. For it is a glorious thing to forget injuries. Just set aside your own injury, but do not neglect your brother's wound. Therefore 'go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone,' intent upon his amendment but sparing his sense of shame. For it might happen that through defensiveness he will begin to justify his sin, and so you will have inadvertently nudged him still closer toward the very behavior you desire to amend. Therefore 'tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother,' because he might have been lost, had you not spoken with him" (excerpt from Sermon 82.7, emphasis added).
The love of Christ both purifies and sets us free to do good to all – even those who hurt us. The call to accountability for what we have done, and for what we have failed to do, is inevitable and we can’t escape it, both in this life and at the day of judgment when the Lord Jesus will return. While we have the opportunity, we must pray for those who have offended, as St Augustine notes, and seek God’s help to change the heart of the offender – as well as the heart of the offended – with the grace and power of God’s healing love and wisdom.
We were never promised a rose garden, but that doesn’t mean we sow a patch of thorns either.
May God keep you holy and healthy
Fr. Bryan

Should I Stay or Should I Go
Life is not always easy on us and it can be hard to figure out the next step to take in our journey. We can even become immobilized by indecisiveness and fear about making the wrong move or choosing the incorrect path. I think of the song, Should I Stay, or Should I Go, as a mantra for many times in my life. Should I stay in this house, this job, or this car? Should I go here or there? When those times of decision surface, I usually turn to my wife, my friends, or even my children. Talking it out can help, and their perspectives give me more data to consider. When I lean on others to help me make a decision, it helps me become more confident in my choices.
Discerning the will of God is not easy either. Rarely do we understand God’s calling clearly at first. God’s calling is always more easily discerned within a community of faithful disciples. Our stewardship way of life can suffer greatly if we refuse to allow others to assist us in the process of discernment. What gifts or talents are needed for the task at hand? Where do I fit best into God’s plan? Where is God leading me? No one should have to decide the answers to these questions alone. We need to always lean on the Body of Christ to help us see the path that God has laid before us. Without a little help along the journey, over time we might find ourselves stuck in the same place where we started.
