Readings:

Acts of the Apostles  2, 1-11, Arrival of the Holy Spirit

Psalm 104,   Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth

1 Corinthians 12, 3-7, 12-13, different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

John 20, 19-23,   Peace be with you; receive the Holy Spirit.

Welcome back home from Arkansas, CC I really miss you when you are not here.

Pentecost

This morning I want to talk about the feast of Pentecost.   I propose that a Pentecost event takes place often in our lives. It is a light bulb happening. I see more clearly. I have more energy.   There are light bulb events and light bulb people. For example.

I know a lady who graduated from high school some years ago. She was 18 and decided she would go to college. She signed up, went to her accounting class, and got a D. “That decided me,” she told me, “college was not for me.”

So she met her husband, got married, and had three kids. Much more fun.

Says Olivia, "Welcome, Everybody." Olivia, do you realize what a megawatt smile you have? It brightens my day.

Fast forward about 30 years. Her kids have grown up and they have graduated from college. One is continuing studies to become a doctor.

It is Christmas. They are all sitting around the table. Somebody asks, “Is there anything in your life that you regret not doing?” Various answers come in.

My friend says, “I regret not getting my college degree many years ago.” “Well, why don’t you go and get it?,” everybody says.

Emma, you make my day. Welcome back after a bunch of weeks missing you.

So she decides to take the entrance exams at CCCC (Collin County Community College). See how it goes. She takes two exams, math and reading. She barely flunks the math, which is her long term weakness. Remember the D in accounting.

The reading exam? She flat out fails the reading exam, also. The college admissions office tells her they cannot admit her.

Yeah, Ben is back everybody. What a treat to have you and Sophia back, Ben.

What a blow! Is that the end of it? In fact, no! She decides to appeal to take the reading test again.

End of story, end of college career? Nope, she aces the reading exam and is allowed to enter the college.

What a scene. The Girls' play station with Harper, Tori, and Zoe, with Olivia watching over the whole scene.

She proceeds to pass two years at CCCC during which time she takes a, you guessed it, an accounting course. Fortunately, she has a husband who understands these arcane concepts. Like, he says, “ You see this dollar? That is an asset.” And so on. With his help she gets even a good grade in the class.

After the two years at CCCC, it is time for another big step. By the way, all during this time she is working full time.

Offertory with Carol Ann & Doug, Caroline & David.

The next big step is Texas A & M at Commerce. Do you realize how far it is to Commerce. Also during this time she is not taking a light load, like 9 hours. Oh, no, once she even takes 18 hours. This is a monster load for a full time student.

After two years of A & M she is finally ready to graduate. She even wins an award, not a cum laude, not even a magna cum laude, but a summa cum laude. With the Highest Honor. Latin.

My little buddy Seth is helping me to celebrate the wedding of his mom & dad, Monique and Zack, last Friday evening at The Rectory.

Karen Anderlick, thanks for being my inspiration and our Pentecost Person.

Who is your Pentecost Person?

Karen Anderlick, Summa cum Laude.

True?

“I should dearly love that the world should be ever so little better for my presence. Even on this small stage we have our two sides, and something might be done by throwing all one's weight on the scale of breadth, tolerance, charity, temperance, peace, and kindliness to man and beast. We can't all strike very big blows, and even the little ones count for something.”

Sunday Homily, May 28, 2017, 7th Easter
ByRosemary May 28, 2017

Readings:

Acts of the Apostles  1, 12-14, All devoted themselves to prayer.

Psalm 27,   I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. (a good one)

1 Peter 4, 13-16, Rejoice.

John 17, 1-11,   I pray for them.

"Welcome in, Everybody, " says Harper.

To dwell in the house of the Lord

This past Friday after Romeos, I headed across Central to Plano Cycling, one of my favorite places to visit. I wanted one of my service friends to check Rosemary’s rear bike brake. She had told me it was soft. I can fix a lot of things on a bike, and love doing it, but I would prefer a specialist work on her brake for safety’s sake.

So says Seth likewise, plus, "Wake me up after that old guy stops talking."

So I go in about 2:30 and this is why I love to go there. I walk in and hear, “Hi, John” from numerous staff, or “Hi, John Stack” from the service manger. I confess it means a lot to be known by name in a store.

I look for my specialist friends, Darrell or Lorinda. Not there. A bummer. But a new guy is there, about 28.   He is working on a bike and apparently is alone. I tell him what I want and he says, “sure,” he will fix it while I wait.

Our Candle Lighter of The Week, Leo

Turns out Rosemary needs more than a cable tightened. She has worn out her brake pads and needs a new set. Joey says, “No problem,” he can fix that in a minute.

So we begin to talk. “What's your name? Joey. How long you been working here? About 2 months. How do you like it? I love it. How did you get here?”

Offertory,Bernadette, Gil, and Diane.

He proceeds to tell me he had a good office job with good money. But he was not happy. He used to bring work home. He is married, but did not mention kids. Everything was good, but he was not happy. He had known Plano Biking since he bought his first bike there as a little kid. He loved to just visit.

One day he was talking with somebody on the staff and saying how he loved bikes & working on them and how his job was not satisfying. “We’ll hire you,” the person said. Joey jumped.

Prep time.

This exemplifies what it means

To dwell in the House of the Lord,

To see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

And you?

How do you dwell in the House of the Lord?

What are the good things of the Lord that you see in the land of the living?

And what for recessional?

P.S. A note to all of you who are celebrating our Memorial Day weekend at your lake houses, on cruises, like to Alaska, Mike & Geri, and to points south, like Tom and Teresa, and to all points in between, you, too, are seeing and celebrating the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

John 14, 15-21,  If you love me you will keep my commandments..

Good Morning, Harper, and thanks for welcoming us all back.

Unconditional Love ? Certainly !

Did you catch that Psalm 66 ? Can you believe?!

Let all the earth cry out to God with joy!

Shout joyfully to God…, sing praise to the glory of his name,… proclaim his glorious praise. Say to God, “How tremendous are your deeds!

I dream of Matterhorn Canyon, Yosemite, whenever I read or hear that last line.

She's back, Everybody, Sabrina, one of our most special people since she was a little girl. Congratulations on graduation and double congratulations on the double magna cum laude. Congratulations, also, to you two, John and Alison.

And while we are congratulating graduates, congratulations to Karen Anderlick on her graduation and especially with the summa cum laude.

This is a counter weight to the first line of John’s reading, If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

I want to talk about how I went from being a fear based Catholic, Christian, human being, to living without fear.

It all started in my first two years as a Jesuit novice in Grand Coteau, 1958-1960, 60 years ago next year. It is the novice master’s fault.

Congratulations to you, too, Shonda, on the Air Force uniform. All these years we have known each other and this is the first time I see your uniform. You look Quite Striking!

Tony Mangiaracina was the novice master, about 5’1”, ramrod straight, did not walk, but marched in his cassock. He could look very rigid and uninviting. But underneath the rigid exterior, which was mostly what we saw for months, was a softy, all heart. How many times we saw him in tears at special events. Christmas carols always got him.

In those days we, too, lived a really Spartan life, silence except for three nights a week when we could talk at dinner, Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. These three days were also recreation days, like for touch football or handball games. Other days we worked inside the building or on the farm, we studied, and we had periods of prayer. A very monastic life.

The Best Music, Shonda, Bethany, and David.

My awakening took place one afternoon when I went to get permission from the master to drink water. Yes, we had to get permission to drink water at the beginning of each month.   We were told this was to teach us obedience even in the smallest things.

Now it so happened that around this time an edict came out from Jesuit headquarters in Rome that smoking was prohibited for all Jesuits. This was no burden for us 50 or so novices because we could not smoke anyway.

But, guess who did smoke. Yes, Tony Mangiaracina.

The Best Teammates, Georgie and Buddy.

On this particular day I went in to Tony’s office, I must have gotten my permission to drink and then chatted a few extra moments. He had two large windows behind his desk, which faced me and the door I entered. Suddenly I see against the light and even smell, guess what, smoke coming out of his right hand desk drawer.

I never said a thing, but I was amused and touched. Tony had put his cigarette into the drawer when I knocked to come in.

At that moment I began to let loose of the fear that I was a sure bet for hell.   Like, here was my saintly novice master breaking a commandment that came all the way from Jesuit headquarters in Rome.

Buddies, Cody & Ben, Paul & Carrie.

15 or so years later when I returned to Grand Coteau to establish a spiritual center, Tony was one of my team members. And guess what. He still smoked. The ban had been lifted a year or so after Vat. II.

I am grateful today to Tony and his human nature. I figured bit by bit that if Tony was still going to heaven after being disobedient, I had a chance, too. I began to see that God’s love was not conditional, but unconditional.

So, where are you going, Heaven?

More Buddies, Zoe & Harper
