Yes, John, that red '55 Studebaker is still for sale. I make you a good deal. Better grab it before Rob grabs it for Beth.

Readings:

Sirach 27, 4-7, Tribulation is the test of the just.

Psalm 92, Lord, it is good to give thanks to you. (The Beauty of Today, Stanza 1)

1 Corinthians 15, 54-58, Where, O Death, is your sting?

Luke 6, 39-45, A good person produces good.

Spousal abuse! No way! You know the truth, Mike, you were there.

Sirach Observations

Who : an educated scribe living and writing in Jerusalem ca. 180 before Christ. His work was translated from the original Hebrew into Greek by Ben Sira’s grandson in 132.

The Work: The chief loves of Ben Sira’s life were The law and the Temple rituals. Consequently, his work falls into the Wisdom genre of writings.

Lots of maxims, for example on fear,

The fear of the Lord is glory & pride,

The fear of the Lord gladdens the heart,

For those who fear the Lord , all will end well. (p. 809, New Jerusalem Bible)

Two great Jesuit alumni, Bob & Mike Bulger. Only missing Ray.

Some amusing maxims:

Do not compliment a person, 11/2,

Be careful about the kind of person you bring home, 11/29,

A father who loves his son will whip him often, 30/1,

A woman has to take any man as a husband, but a man must choose his wife carefully, 36/21

Others focus on patience, uprightness, humility, and duties toward parents. It is a large book with 51 chapters.

Jan takes care of everybody who walks in the door.

Sunday Homily, 3-3-19, 5 Ways to have a Happy Lent

If there is anything that every year makes me want to say ‘yuk,’ it is the beginning of Lent with its focus on sin. Guess where we are, Folks, Ash Wednesday this week. Instead of it being a downer focused on how bad I am and how I need to do penance, I would like to propose 5 ways to have a Happy Lent.

"Patricia, would you not like to take him home with you?" sez Jan.

First, attitude. You are not a sinner going to hell. There is no hell, as I continually repeat. Why do I say this: data free analysis to prove its reality. Moreover, we have a God about whom Psalm 92 talks,

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise, to proclaim your kindness at dawn and your faithfulness throughout the night.

Emma, How come you look so pretty this morning?

Secondly, unclutter your environment. Becky suggested this. Have a box or bag. Every week or every day put something into the bag, a shirt, a book, an old decoration. Maybe Becky can use some of the stuff.

I must admit that I just put into the box headed for Half Price Books all my French books. That was hard. My memory is not as strong and I just don’t see me using the language enough. I’ve loved languages.

Here they come, the offertory team, Lynda & Tom, Geri & Mike.

Thirdly, a good deed day. Say ‘Good Morning’ to a stranger at Starbucks or at Central Market. Call somebody whom you have not talked with in a while and say you are just calling to see how they are. Take somebody to Romeos or Juliette’s. Help out here at Legacy.

Fourth. Sorry, Folks. Work out. Exercise 4, 5 days a week. Walk through the neighborhood. Make it fun. Enough of that.
Try it, you will like it.

Mabel & her admirers,

Fifth. My favorite. Gratitude. Like Psalm 92 says, It is good to give thanks. Before you go to bed what is your blessing of the day? Want to bet there is always something.

So, how are you going to have a Happy Lent?

Team Legacy Charter. The Best.

Rosemary's Blessing

A Prayer For Growing Old Gracefully

Lord, Thou knowest better than I myself that I am growing older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all; but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains; they are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cock-sureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

Keep me reasonably sweet, for a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and talents in unexpected people; and give, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Amen.

"Welcome in, Everybody," sez Crazy Patricia.

Readings:

1 Samuel 2, 7-9, 12-13, 22-23, I would not harm the Lord's anointed.

Psalm 103, The Lord is kind & merciful. (a good one, a favorite line)

1 Corinthians 15, 45-49, The first man was from earth; the second from heaven.

Luke 6, 27-38, Do good to those who hate you.

" Welcome in, Everybody," from the whole team.

Observations on 1 Samuel

Our 1st reading today is from the first book in a fun & interesting 4 book series which is somewhat historical, somewhat metaphorical & imaginative.

The books: 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings. The first two books center on 3 main characters, the first ever kings of the Israelites, namely Samuel, the first king, Saul, the 2^nd king, an insecure, jealous, and paranoiac man, and the Great King David, a colorful character.

Ever hear of Bathsheba? Check out David in 2 Samuel.

John reading his marvelous updating of today's Gospel.

The last 2 books, 1 & 2 Kings, describe the beautiful times of Solomon and the building of the temple. The final book of the 4 describes the bad ways of the people which lead to the bad days of the Babylonian captivity.

Estimated time of composition, ca, 555, during the Babylonian Captivity.

Wake up, John. Punch him, Karen.

Homily, February 24

When I was studying theology in Toronto from ’68-’72, the fall of my second year we had to take a course in moral theology. We were part of a consortium of seminarians. We Jesuits were the biggest group with ca. 40 guys. There were probably 6-8 other groups, even some individuals. All guys.

We Jesuits lived in a large building in a northern suburb called Willowdale. There were four classes with a total of probably 200, plus 6-8 Jesuit professors. We had classes on the down town campus of U. of Toronto.

Our bread baker and hostess with the mostest welcoming everybody to communion.

The fall of my second year our class had to take a course in moral theology. Fundamentally it was how to administer the Sacrament of Reconciliation, or Confession, plus other moral questions. For example, like torture, capital punishment, abortion.

The professor of this rather large class was a young Jesuit priest just graduated from Harvard, named Bryan. I honestly don’t remember his last name. Bryan was sharp, liberal, and not blessed with public relations skills.

And hiding behind John, Allen & Aggie.

Bryan put off the majority of the class and a group even came to complain to him. What did Bryan do? He told them if they did not like him or his presentations, they could go somewhere else. He did this with more blunt language than I use here. So all these guys boycotted his class.

I give all this information as background to my interaction with Bryan in the spring semester of that same academic year.

Would someone please sit with Sandra.

At the end of our third year the Jesuit program normally had the moral theology exam. Since my class had already covered the class requirements, some of us thought we would like to take the moral theology exam at the end of the second year. Get it off the agenda.

So I get elected to go make the request to, take a guess, Bryan. He not only denies my request and tells me to wait until the end of year 3, he tells me if I & my buddies do it anyway, he will flunk us all. We did and he did. I even went to the Jesuit rector to complain before we took the exam, which, incidentally was in Latin before a board of 3 of the Jesuit faculty.

So, if I am supposed to love my enemies, do I have to love Brian? Yes.

Welcome Home, Beth, our Colorado Snow Bird of the Week.

Two comments. We are dealing here in Luke with infinite demand.

At the same time, we are offered infinite acceptance. For example, my favorite line showing up this morning in the Psalm, The Lord is gracious and merciful, never gets angry, and is abounding in kindness.

Help is on the way, Hugh.

"Welcome in, Everybody," say Emma & her mom, Beth.

Readings:

Jeremiah 17, 5-8, Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings.

Psalm 1, Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15, 12, 16-20, Christ has been raised from the dead.

Luke 6, 17, 20-26, Blessed are you who are poor. (beatitudes)

Suiting up is a teamwork.

Sunday Homily

Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings.

This morning I would like to talk about this line from Jeremiah, which, you know me, I do not like.

A little story for perspective.

Victoria doing her magic lighting of the candles.

It was only a week ago this past Thursday that I went to visit my spine surgeon for my 6 week post op check up. I expected to get a looser leash, like maybe a physical therapist. Rosemary came with me, mostly because she did not want me to come home saying I could do things she doubted came from the surgeon.

So, what happens? I got more freedom than I could imagine. I was even asked if I wanted a physical therapist. I said I did not care. He asked if I learned anything new from the physical therapist I had pre-op. I said I really learned nothing. So, he said just go do what you know.

I was so stunned, so surprised, I was in tears. Lucky I had Rosemary there. She would have never believed me.

Buddy reading the Blessing of The Winter Candles. You just gets better each week, Buddy.

So, from the office in the Presby complex we headed home all elated in our Prius. We took Royal Lane west from Central and caught the light at Hillcrest. We were behind a lady. The red light changed to green and the lady sat there. I flashed my lights one time.

Then, Bamm! We were tail gated.

What now? All the horror stories I have heard of hit & run people, people who get angry and blame the victims.

I am proud to say, Carol, that I am jealous of your hair.

So we went to the first left bound lane, pulled over to the right hand curb, and got out. My elation had turned to a downer. At least the person had not tried to run away and pulled right up behind us. Moreover she jumped out of her Infinity SUV, asking, "Are you okay? Anybody get hurt? I am so sorry, my foot just slipped off the brake pedal." I know you are warned never to do this if you caused the accident.

The Music Musicians Ben & David.

Corey was the lady's name, middle aged, slender, and probably from the neighborhood. She had a lot of integrity, claimed she was responsible, gave us photos of her papers, especially the insurance paper.

By the next day, Friday, her insurance company was in touch, they offered us a rental, which we did not think we needed for a few days, and we booked the Prius into the local service King this past Thursday.

Elevation time.

So, cursed is the one who trusts in human beings? Jeremiah, you must have been having a bad day, a bunch of which I know you had in your life.

I think the real challenge for us is to trust.

Who are the people in your life whom you trust?

The Beautiful Sisters Geri & Francine.
