"Welcome in, Everybody," sez Our Dearest Tori, official hospitality team leader.

Welcome: Catholic Mass with coffee & juice, and pastries, some bought, some home-made.

Time: 9:30; Celebrate with the Community & Stack

Place: Sigler Elementary, 1400 Janwood Drive, Plano, TX 75075

Yes, here we have our official disrupting team planning their activities for this morning.

Readings:

Isaiah 63, 16-17, 64, 2-7,    Why do you let us wander, O Lord

Psalm 80, Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.

1 Corinthians 1, 3-9,   I will give thanks to my God always

Mark 13, 31-46,, Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time comes!

Thanks, Zoe, for being Our Official Candle Lighter of The Week.

Isaiah observations and reminders–

Who: Guess which of the 3 composers put this section together. A clue: chapter number. Like, chapter 63. A pretty high number, yes, Isaiah number 3.

Where is he: if the author is number 3, he is back with the people in Jerusalem, a Jerusalem totally destroyed by the Babylonians.

Today’s message: because he is back in Jerusalem, you would expect happiness. On the contrary, he is bemoaning the state of affairs and is blaming himself and everybody’s sinfulness for the destruction. But in the end he reminds Yahweh that they are his special people. So…?

Georgie reads The Blessing Prayer of the Advent Candle while her sister Zoe does the lighting.

Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come

I confess that every time I hear this line or ones like it, I have to speak about it. I think I have spent the majority of my years as a Jesuit priest & psychotherapist trying to encourage no fear relationships with our God. There were historical reasons why so much emphasis in the Bible is on fear and punishment.

For me it is not a relationship where God is eagerly looking for bad behavior so you can be thrown into the fires of hell, forever. It is, rather an invitation to all the ways God is bending over backward to delight, to surprise, bring joy to all God's people. I call them consolations moments.

Rosemary's shirt to me, similar to the shirt she designed and painted for her sister, Clare.

Here are 5 examples that happened to me while Rosemary & I spent Thanksgiving with her two sisters, the husbands, and the daughter of Joe & Clare, Beth, and Beth's partner, Sarah. All in Joe & Clare's house in Hilton Head.

First, the Thanksgiving meal, always a consolation moment. A lot of my favorite items. There were two special moments. One was that Rosemary gave her sister, Clare a T- shirt with all 7 of her grand kids painted on the front and the word MomMom on the back. It is similar to the T shirt Rosemary painted for me.

Talbird Live Oak tree, Hilton Head Island. Check Thursday's blog for more pix.

Also, towards the end of the meal Joe asked everybody what was their blessing of the year. Sound familiar. It was a most touching consolation moment. Mine? You know well! Rosemary. As usual, I got too choked up to say her name.

Secondly, there is a rustic seafood restaurant on the edge of the marshes that every Thanksgiving Day serves all customers gratis. A token of thanks. When the hurricane messed up the restaurant pretty badly, the residents of Hilton Head pitched in and helped to rebuild the restaurant. A consolation moment.

Want to stop for a little sunbathing? Plenty of room. This was my biking friend. Rosemary even wants to take his picture. "Smile now."

Thirdly, biking the marvelous wooded paths on the island. The natural beauty is gorgeous. Again, two consolation moments. The first is the Talbird Oak. Every day I rode, I would stop under the enormous drooping branches of this centuries old Live Oak. A consolation moment.

The other biking event had to do with an alligator. There are lots of man made ponds on the island in the plantations. And in those ponds are alligators who like to sun bathe on the shores. I have a personal relationship with one of those alligators. I see him or his parents every year.

No fun on this island at all!

There is a tarmack path that runs along the south west side of a pond with a fountain in the middle. The path is not real close, maybe 40 yards away. The trouble is, the path winds back & forth along the pond's side. It is my last day riding before departing. A warm afternoon ideal for sun bathing. So I decide I will stay on the road until I pass the popular place for my friend, then take a little spur path back to the main path that will put me about at the head of the pond.

I get to the path and think I'll stop to see if the alligator is sunning in one of his usual spots. No sign of my friend. I put my foot on the pedal to begin riding, but take one last look around. There, even closer, in front me, the alligator lying parallel to the path.

Talking of food, our Advent Food Drive.

A consolation moment? Absolutely! For being watchful and alert enough to get moving and get out of there.

Finally, consolation moments knock me over here, with help coming from Emma and Leo, Buddy and Georgie, Zoe, Tori and Harper.

How are you watchful and alert enough to spot those consolation moments?

The Best Music Team! A three-some or a four-some?

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Here is a prayer said to be written by St. Thomas Moore reminding us to live joyfully.

Prayer to live Joyfully:

Grant me, O Lord good digestion and also something to digest.

Grant me, O Lord a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.

Grant me a simple soul that knows no boredom, grumblings, sighs or laments.

Grant me, O Lord, a sense of humor.

Allow me grace to be able to take a joke–to discover in life a bit of Joy and to be able to share it with others.

Amen

John Cade's great Homily: MASS 11/26/17 – Last Sunday (34^th) in Ordinary Time

     Feast of Christ the King

Today, on the last Sunday of the liturgical year and the Feast of Christ the King the entire liturgy shouts out that Jesus was like a shepherd with his flock. One of his dreams was that his followers would be like shepherds in how they lived their lives.

When do we see God? We see God when we see someone being a good shepherd, caring for another. Both Ezekiel and Matthew give down-to-earth examples of what this looks like—like feeding the hungry or caring for the stranger and for the sick, like visiting the imprisoned, the hurting, the outsider.

Connie reading. A first time? Usually working the camera.

For early followers of Jesus expecting an earthly kingdom, it took a while to figure out this new kingdom was not about being on top politically, but a whole new way of living in relationship with others, seeing others as brothers and sisters, worthy of acceptance and love and the sharing of peace.

A little story: Kalliopi, my mother in law treated me to breakfast for my birthday yesterday. As we walked up a ramp to the Original Pancake House, there was a man sitting on a bench. He obviously was in need—clothing, belongings with him, alone—

A first time also, John? Congratulations.

Kalliopi said something to me in Greek and I understood enough to tell she knew he was needy. Inside we could still see him through a window. He removed the coat/robe he was wearing, he had coffee and some food.

As we left we stopped to greet him and ask if he had enough food and he said yes. We asked if he needed financial help and he nodded yes. We gave him some cash and he expressed thanks.

You, too, Frank, thanks.

I could see Kalliopi’s pleasure that we could help him even a little. When I told Lambrini the story, she said that her mother always was quick to give help to anyone she saw as needy.

Thanksgiving is my favorite American holiday because it celebrates what all major world religions and religious teachers have taught: We are all sisters and brothers, we are all called to be good shepherds, tending to the needs of others, especially the hungry, the alone, the outsiders, the strangers. Next Sunday we will have our own community food drive (with Ken) to help feed the hungry.

Happy Anniversary, John, to you and Michelle.

Ezekiel and Jesus and the author of Psalm 23 all show us the way of God. They call us to treat the needy as a good shepherd would treat the needy of his flock. In the new kingdom there is forgiveness and peace and acceptance and love.

In this last Sunday of the liturgical year we remember again that a good king, a good shepherd, is “gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in kindness.” This is the life we are called to live.

Question for today: How are you shepherded in your life, and by whom? And whom do you shepherd?
