A Reflection from Bringing Home the Word…
Countering Our Culture By Mary Katharine Deeley
When my children were school age, my husband and I decided to use TV commercials as teaching tools. “What are they trying to sell you?” we’d ask. “How are they trying to get you to want it?” Their answers grew as they did: “They want you to think you’ll be cool.” “They’re showing you that rich people have this and hope you want to be like them.”
I often learned as much as our children did, and I like to think that, as a result, we were a little less vulnerable to the techniques. A consumer culture like ours depends on making people want more and better than they have. To support it, manufacturers must convince us that this cereal is better than that, this present will fill the void we have experienced, or that our true happiness depends on a brand name, location, degree, or career.
“Do not conform yourselves to this age,” Paul tells us in today’s reading from Romans. This age tells us we cannot be whole until we’ve achieved or obtained certain things.
In reminding us that our goal is not to be formed with this age, St. Paul states, rather, it lies in changing our form with Christ—actually changing our mind and heart so we can know and love God ever more deeply. So rather than conforming, we are better off transforming.
What does changing form look like for the Christian? It looks like loving the enemy, caring for those who have less, gathering at the eucharistic table, being good stewards of resources and, yes, taking up a cross and following Christ— even to death, if necessary.
There we will find our joy and our freedom. †
