  • Sunday Homily for November 25, 2018, Christ the King, B cycle

    • Intro to Readings:
       
      Psalm 103 – In Psalm 103 we hear the psalmist’s description
      of God. This same verse is also in psalm 86 and 145, and in Exodus
       
      Ch 34 and Jonah Ch 4. It’s no wonder that, hearing these words,
      thanksgiving became one of the hallmarks of Christian communities.
       
      First Corinthians: Ch 1 Paul opens his letter to the
      Christian community in Corinth by giving thanks for the
      abundance of spiritual blessings they have received.
       
      Luke, in his Gospel, Ch 17, highlights how thanksgiving is
      the way to acknowledge blessings in our daily lives.
       
       
       
      Homily:
       
      Marv Knox is field coordinator for Fellowship Southwest, a
      ministry that provides services for people in the Rio Grande
      Valley, including refugees at the border, kids in public schools,
      disaster relief, and helping people avoid the unjust system of
      payday loans. His article in the Morning News on Friday inspired
      me. He wrote of the similarity between giving thanks and counting
      blessings. He proposes counting our blessings, as we do here
      every Sunday. People pretty much agree we’ve been living
      through hard times.
       
      It’s clear we are a nation divided. Some are still waiting to
      know the outcome of political races; when people are
      divided almost 50-50, counting and re-counting votes takes
      a lot of time.
      We’re still hearing of the forest-fire body counts, with
      hundreds still missing and unaccounted for.
      Refugees the world over, and at our own border, are hoping
      and asking for safety from danger.
      The chaos in Europe and confusion in our western alliance.
      Experiencing the results of global warming, with increased
      intensity and frequency of storms, floods and fires.
      The dropping and shaky stock market.
      The threat again of nuclear aggression from North Korea.
      These hard times, of course, are societal, shared by all;
      there are also the personal hard times we each live with,
      e.g., living with my sisters’ hurt and inability to speak with
      one another. You know your hard time—the anxiety, hurt,
      sadness or trauma you live with.
       
      Counting blessings moves our focus from the dark to the light.
      It helps us see what’s going right, even while we know much is
      going wrong.
       
      Counting blessings turns our attention away from ourselves to
      acknowledge the helpful actions of others.
       
      Counting blessings gives us hope. As we count blessings—
      and give thanks—we see that God is unchanging—ever faithful,
      loving, and abounding in kindness.
       
      Today, like every Sunday, we counted blessings in our lives.
      Imagine, rather than writing his letter to the Christian community
      in Corinth (Greece), Paul wrote to this Christian community,
      saying: I give thanks for your openness to God. There’s no end to
      what has happened in you; it’s beyond speech. The truth of Jesus
      has been clearly verified in your lives…. God will never give up on
      you. Never forget that.”
       
      So: How have you opened your eyes and minds to see and count
      blessings in your life?

    Two boys were walking home from Sunday school

    after hearing a strong preaching on the devil.

    One said to the other, 'What do you think about

    all this Satan stuff?'

    The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how

    Santa Claus turned out.

    It's probably just your Dad..'

    Thanksgiving History: Everyone knows about the first Thanksgiving in 1602 with the Pilgrims and the Indians eating together, the Mayflower, and Plymouth Rock.   Here are 5 facts that people do not hear about usually.

    1.  When did Thanksgiving begin?  Our ancestors have celebrated end of harvest feasts of gratitude for centuries.  Lincoln first focused on a national feast; FDR established the national holiday in 1941.

     

     

    IMG_4631

     

    Michelle with her dad, Gil.

     

    1.  The pilgrims did not know they were pilgrims.  They called themselves saints, and non-saints were called strangers.  The word pilgrim came along in the 18 hundreds, 2 centuries later.  They were not even Puritans, but separatists.  They split off from the Church of England, old Henry VIII's church, and the Puritans did not split off. 
    2.   The Separatists did not come to establish religious freedom.  They came for religious freedom for their religion and only their religion.  Like the Catholic Church, the Separatists demanded everyone belong to their program.  Failure to conform could result in execution, ala inquisition.

     

    IMG_3018

     

    And the Father will Dance, One of our most favorite hymns led by Ben.

     

     

    1.  The Mayflower returned to England, was torn apart, and its beams were used to build a barn in Buckinghamshire (just north of London & east of Oxford).
    2.  How did the Indians & Separatists communicate?   The Indians were Algonquians & one of them, Squanto had actually lived in Briton some years.  He returned to his tribe and taught his friend, Samoset English.  It was Samoset who communicated with the Separatists, & the Indians taught them to raise corn, to fish, and to hunt.  In the first winter half of the 100 Separatists died before the Indians taught them how to survive.

    Thanksgiving

    In the spirit of Thanksgiving, my most favorite celebration, I would like to talk about blessings.  Excuse me for the personal focus.  It is my annual assessment.  Rosemary & I do this together more toward the end of the year, but initially I put together my own list.

    As an aside, this Tuesday we celebrate the 26th anniversary of the 6 Jesuits killed in the patio of their residence of their university, UCA, University of Central America, El Salvador.

    Thanksgiving

    Despite the fact that Rosemary says, when she hears that I want to give a Thanksgiving homily this Sunday, “Not another thanksgiving homily.”  I  promise her that  won’t repeat the Big 3 Blessings in my life.  Like entering the Jesuits, spending 10 years in East Africa, and marrying her. 

    Instead, I have Ragbrai.  The ride across Iowa in July.  You have heard me talk about this event on numerous occasions.  To me this is an extraordinary event, some 30 thousand riders, 400-500 miles from the Missouri River to the Mississippi.

     Saturday night wedding with Christi and Steve.

     

     

     I have my favorite vendor, the Mennonite community, serving home made pie slices and a big bowl of vanilla ice cream.  One flavor of ice cream, a dozen flavors of pie, which the are baking right there on the edge of the road. Like in October we took an ocean cruise in the North Atlantic, starting in Bergen, Switzerland, and continuing through Amsterdam and Portsmouth, England through the Straights of Gibraltar to Barcelona, Spain.

    One of the most moving experiences was taking a bus from Bruge, Belgium to the First World War battle lines at Ypres.  This was to be the war to end all wars.

     

      IMG_0677

     

    Away they go on a new journey in life.

     

     

    Thirdly, and this is the best year after year.  This community, you people.  Like what community could you find who would welcome with open arms a crazy woman who wants to tell us about her ancestors who came over on the Mayflower.  Moreover, we loved the presentation, complete with singing and a costume change.

    These are just three of my blessings this year.  What are three of yours.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    “Father and Mother of all:

    We give thanks for food and remember the hungry,

    We give thanks for health and remember the sick,

    We give thanks for friends and remember the friendless,

    We give thanks for freedom and remember the enslaved.

    May our giving thanks stir us to service, that our blessings may be shared with others. Amen.”

    Kings:

         Author & date of composition: the work is a compilation of numerous sources put together near the end of the Babylonian Captivity, ca. 555.

        Subject Matter: 1 Kings is part of a 4 book work that includes 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings.  The 3 kings are Saul, David, and his son, Solomon.

     The work begins with Samuel, the last great judge, continues through the lives of the 3 kings, and finally shows how Solomon’s sons’ squabbles led to the division of the Jewish nation into two states, north & south, Israel & Judah.  Both states were defeated and the people of both were taken into captivity as slaves. 

    The people of Israel never returned from Syria.  The people of Judah taken into the Babylonian Captivity maintained their tribal identify and came back to Jerusalem, which had been wrecked.   The Babylonian Captivity ended on a high note when Cyrus of Persia defeats Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon, and allows the Jews to return to Jerusalem.

    John reading from 1 Kings.

     

     

    The Theme: you be good, good things happen to you; you be bad, bad things happen to you.

        Our selection: 2 great prophets lived when the kingdom divided, Elijah & Elisha.  They criticized the bad ways of the sons of King Solomon.  In this selection, Elijah tells the king he is going to send a drought to the king's land.  Then Elijah goes away & meets a poor, starving widow with a son.  Watch what happens.  This is setting us up for the Widow's Mite story in the gospel.

    In remembrance of the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War – November 11, 1918 at 11:11 AM.

     

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

    Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS
    By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 
    during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium
