Sunday Homily, February 17, 2019, 6th Ordinary Time
ByRosemary February 17, 2019

"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.

Sunday Homily, February 10, 2019, 4th Ordinary Time
ByRosemary February 10, 2019

Welcome in, Sydney & Hugh, you are early enough to find seats.

Readings:

Isaiah 6, 1- 2, 3-8, Whom shall I send? Here I am, send me..

Psalm 138, In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord. (Good one)

1 Corinthians 15, 1-11, I am the least of all the apostles

Luke 5, 1-11, Today this passage is fulfilled in your hearing.

"Welcome in," says Ben, "we are ready to warm You up."

Observations:   Isaiah (I)

This is The Great One. The Prophet. My favorite. In general, this work has three parts put together by three different people. It is time dependent: before, during, and after the, you guessed it, the Babylonian Captivity. Keep 555 before Christ in mind as an easy date. You can guess that this is Isaiah I, being chapter 6 (of 66 chapters)

Last week we heard the story of the prophet Jeremiah’s call by Yahweh. This week we have Isaiah’s call.

Cindy, too, says, "Welcome in, Everybody. It is warmer in here than out there in that cold rain."

Psalm 138

Want to hear something beautiful? Listen to today’s psalm. Another of my favorites. Thanks, thanks, and more thanks.

1 Corinthians 15

In last week’s Corinthians’ reading Paul described his vision of love. Today he continues talking to the people of his church in Corinth, focusing on how he was called by God.

So, today we have a theme of call & gratitude. Even the gospel has a sub-theme of call. Pretty neat.

Jim & John solving all our problems in life.

Sunday Homily

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with all my heart

We have been blessed the past few weeks because of so many good readings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and now Psalm 138, one of my favorites.   I can still remember when and where it was that I became aware of its beauty.   I was in Nairobi making a private retreat near an arboretum. My subject today, therefore, is another of my favorite activities, giving thanks.

Jan, our official greeter as everyone comes in, readies the home made communion bread and the grape juice.

About two weeks ago I got an Email from a young woman who wanted me to perform her wedding in October here in Dallas. I have backed off of doing weddings almost every weekend. Just too exhausting & I don’t have the old energy.

I do not remember this girl, but she wrote something that really hooked me. She said that she used to attend St. Marks Cafetorium Masses and loved my homilies. Naturally, of course, I accepted her invitation, and was grateful that here is one person who has with me fond memories of some good times.

"Where is that crazy mike button?"

The second reason I gave thanks this week tied in with this girl who is called Kathleen.   Remember the monster kid who came to our Mass last Sunday? Noah and his mom. The kid whom I knew when he was just a little guy who helped me as an Altar server in the cafetorium. Within a couple of weeks I have remembered with gratitude the good times I had at St. Marks.

The thirst reason why I am giving thanks to the Lord with all my heart today is because of the spinal surgeon who took away all my pain with his operation. Thursday, exactly six weeks since the operation, he gave me a complete and total discharge.

Emma, you are so good, I think you could light those candles in your sleep.

I may ride my bike & return to the 6 A.M. spin classes at the Jewish Community Center. I don’t even have to have a physical therapist. According to him I am old enough and experienced enough to manage my continuing rehab.

Buddy, you have a gift for reading and you are developing a terrific stage presence.

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with all my heart.

For what are you giving thanks this morning?

I give thanks, Sir Charlie, that you have not pulled a fast one on me in the last 5 minutes, or so I think, maybe, I hope.

Sunday Homily, February 3, 2019, 34th Ordinary Time
ByRosemary February 3, 2019

Says Rick, "You missed my birthday party yesterday, but I am still celebrating today. Welcome in, Everybody."

Readings:

Jeremiah 1, 4- 5, 17-19, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

Psalm 71, I will sing of your salvation.

1 Corinthians 12, 31-13 4-13, As the body is one.

Luke 4, 21-30, Today this passage is fulfilled in your hearing.

This morning we will read the Gospel first, then Jeremiah, and finally Corinthians. I want to highlight Corinthians, it is so special. The homily will come after the first paragraph, before the special treatise on Love.

Good as it gets!

Jeremiah observations:

Who:  One of the Big 3 and my second favorite behind Isaiah, whom we will hear from next Sunday. Why a favorite: because he shares his feelings with gusto.

When:  you can guess it, before and during the Babylonian Captivity. Notice how much prophetic energy is concentrated around this one event? Shows how big it was in Jewish history. Keep 555 before Christ as the beacon date.

Suit up time.

What: you can guess this, too. Criticism of behavior, warning of punishment from God, and eventually a better day.

What today: Jeremiah’s call by God to be his man, really Everyperson’s call to be God’s special. This call theme carries through our next 2 readings, especially the next one, The Big One.

Can there be a better welcome than this from Cindy & Dee!

A Special Reading, 1 Corinthians

Years ago when I used to do a lot of weddings, like at St Marks, I would hear this treatise on Love and I would groan, ‘Not again.’

While still at St. Marks, all of a sudden at another wedding, I tuned in to the reading. Love is patient. Love is kind. That applies to me. I could be more patient and more kind. I could be more loving. (Don’t ask Rosemary)

Equally welcoming is Dear Jan who arranges communion for everybody.

Right around this time there was an instruction from the diocese or Fr. Smythe, ‘Don’t touch the kids.’ I thought about this and realized that I was not hugged enough when I was a little boy. For one thing my mom was sick a lot and even had some operations. I remember being taken in by some family friends and being homesick big time when I was a little guy, maybe pre-school.

Elevation Time.

So, once ordained & home from East Africa, I remember one Sunday standing in the entrance to the cafetorium ready to begin the 10:30 Mass. I decided right then that I will continue to hug all these kids to show them they are loveable and good stuff. Maybe they will think God really loves them. A lot of those kids thought I was God once I suited up, so their parents said.

Having a nice vision, Hue?

To send this message is also why I used to give kids, and, in fact everybody, two or three Hershey kisses whenever they came to me for reconciliation, especially for first confessions.

The side effect of this, of course, was that my line went on forever and poor Deacon Mike had to stay late to shut down the church. Everybody else was long gone. I just wanted to say, ‘Kid you are not bad. God thinks you are good and a neat kid.’

Buddy reading our Blessing of The Winter Candles.

Emma lighting The Winter Candles.

I have a handful of very special, positive Scripture passages. They are like compasses. This Corinthians passage helps me to continue to be patient & kind and to remind all of you that you are lovable. (Well, maybe not Sir Charlie)

Teamwork!

What good did it do when you frowned? Let me ask:

Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

What good did it do to be grouchy today?

Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

Phone # 972-516-4100. They have a good lunch menu. You do not have to order steak. I love their French Onion Soup and salad. Outback is on 15^th Street and Central Expressway.

Please let me know who will be joining us. Reservations are required.

Thanks,  Marilyn
