Immaculate Conception Homily

Once again in today's Gospel, the Pharisees are attempting to catch Jesus out. An initial exchange leads Jesus to question them about what Moses taught regarding divorce. While the Pharisees answer correctly, they answer incompletely. In fact, Moses tells the people that if there is just cause, then and only then is it right for a couple to divorce. Then as now, people divorced for just about any reason. Jesus was compelled to cite the passage from scripture that sets forth the reality, the essence of a true marriage. When a man and a woman join together in a true marriage bond, that bond is inseparable. There is no clause in the marriage rite that suggests that if the man leaves his shoes in the living room one time too often, or one of the couple constantly forgets to call and say that they will be late for dinner, then it's ok to divorce. A true marriage is a permanent bond, and that is established as a law of the Lord, and, as we heard in the psalm for last week, the precepts of the Lord give joy to my heart. That permanence, far from being prohibitive, is actually liberating. The marriage bond frees a couple to explore the nature of God's love at work in their lives and in the world. The exclusivity of that bond forces (or should force) the couple to focus sharply on their vocation. In living out that vocation, the couple presents one aspect of the face of God to the world. The couple is free to find their way to heaven through God's salvific grace at work in their lives. No one is perfect, and therefore, since people are involved in marriage, no marriage is perfect. That imperfection also provides multiple opportunities for the exercise of God's grace. As I have often said in marriage homilies, love demands the eternal "I'm sorry," and the eternal "I forgive you." Jesus clarifies for the Pharisees, what they themselves already knew. True marriage is permanent. Now, Catholic doctrine teaches that if it can be shown that there is cause for annulment, i.e. if a true marriage did not occur because one or both parties concealed information, or were deceptive, or for whatever reason did not give full consent of their free will when they were married, then there was no marriage. In that situation, both parties are free to marry. Because we live in a broken world, people do make mistakes. People can be deceptive and conceal information thereby inhibiting free will. When that happens, the marriage simply doesn't occur. By the grace of God, the Diocesan Marriage Tribunal addresses cases of annulment always with an eye toward mercy rather than judgment, and that is surely the way Christ would have it. Let us pray always that those couples who are contemplating marriage might be fully open about their status in life, that they be honest with each other, and that they act in a fully free fashion so that the marriage bond will be effective. And let us pray also for those couples who find that for one reason or another their attempt at marriage was unsuccessful. The heartbreak in those situations must move us to compassion, and our response should be to stand ready to help those who need the healing hand of God's grace in their lives. Who among us can claim to be perfect? May God bless us all and continue to use us, through our various vocations, to further his work on earth. Deacon Tim

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION One of our great treasures is the way the Church has frequently flourished under unfavorable conditions, like the grape ivy on the mantel that refuses to die no matter how infrequently you water it or open the drapes. Like the apartheid laws in South Africa in the last century, the penal laws of Ireland were aimed at depriving the majority population of basic human rights. The Protestant parliament of Ireland enacted laws limiting the practice of Catholicism. The goal was to force conversion from “popery” to the Church of Ireland, and additional laws took aim at Jews, non-Anglicans, and Quakers. There were laws against intermarriage, laws against Catholics being lawyers (there was a one-hundred-pound fine), a law granting lifelong income to priests who became Protestant, and a ban on weapons. In fact, until 1793, a Catholic man had to recruit and pay a Protestant man to serve in the local militia in his place! As if family life is not complicated enough in any age, the sons of a deceased father could divide his land equally, unless one became Protestant. In that case all would go to him! When allowed, new Catholic churches had to be built of wood, not stone, be off a main road or city square, have no steeple or bell, and be called a “chapel.” Catholic “Emancipation” was largely secured by 1829, but even up to the founding of the Irish State in the 1920s, some effects of the laws endured. No wonder that poor Irish immigrants to the United States frequently built gloriously beautiful churches as their first act on free soil! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Un viejo chiste relata que una ancianita por más que se apresuraba a llegar al templo, siempre llegaba tarde al rosario. Un día decidió adelantarse para ver por qué duraba tan poco tiempo el rezo del rosario. A la hora establecida salió un ministro de la sacristía y velozmente recitó “Cruz, Bola, bolita, bolita, bolita, Bola . . .”. Esta es una exageración del hecho que muchos rezan el rosario como si fuera una serie de fórmulas que se repiten sin pensar. Esta devoción mariana debe meditarse con tranquilidad y en silencio. El enfoque del rezo del rosario son los misterios de la vida de Jesús. Los “Padrenuestros” y las “Ave Marías” nos ayudan a entrar en esa meditación en una forma mas profunda. Esas oraciones deben ayudarnos a penetrar el misterio de un acontecimiento gozoso, luminoso, doloroso, o glorioso de la vida de Jesucristo. Pero, una vez que estamos en presencia del misterio, debemos enfocarnos y contemplar a Dios. Esto no significa que el rosario no deba nunca rezarse en voz alta y en grupo. El rosario también tiene su dimensión comunitaria, pero ésta necesita fundarse en una verdadera meditación. En varias culturas latinoamericanas aún se canta el rosario. Ya sea a solas o en comunidad, rezado o cantado, el rosario es un tesoro de nuestra fe que nos puede facilitar la contemplación del salvador. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, .

NEXT WEEK THIS WEEK

Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as

these. - Mark 10:14

Dejen que los niños se acerquen a mí y no se lo impidan,

porque el Reino de Dios es de los que son como ellos.

- Marcos 10:14
