Sunday Homily, February 25, 2018, 2nd Letn
ByRosemary February 25, 2018

Thanks so much John & Mike & Buddy for helping me out when I could not come in this morning. It's been a long time since I came down with a chest cold like this one I picked up.

Readings:

Genesis 22, 1-2, 9, 10-18, Yahweh tells Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.

Psalm 116, I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

Romans 8, 31-34-22, If God is for us, who can be against us?

Mark 9, 2-10, The Transfiguration.

Good Morning, My Dearest Tori.

Our First Reading is about Abraham from the Book of Genesis. I will share something about it later.

Our Second Reading contains my favorite verse from Romans

Thanks, Emma, for always being ready to light our candles.

Homily:

In our Liturgical Calendar, the gospel on the second Sunday of Lent is always that of the Transfiguration. In our three year calendar today’s gospel is according to Mark. Last year it was from Matthew, and next year it will be from Luke. The Church also chose, at some time in the past, to have similiar texts about Abraham as the First Reading on the Second Sunday of Lent

Today we listened to the messenger from heaven telling Abraham, ‘Since you did not withhold from God your beloved son, He will bless you with descendants as countless as the stars of the sky.’

Mike homilizing.

With regard to this myth about Abraham’s relationship with God in the Book of Genesis, it touches not only upon Jews, but today’s Muslims and Christians as well. One of our favorite VBS hymns is ‘Father Abraham.’

In today’s gospel reading, Elijah and Moses represent the expectation of the Prophets and the Law for the coming of the Messiah; His words fulfill theirs.

Thanks, Mike.

Today’s visually brilliant presentation of the Father’s beloved Son, reminds us of the many times in the Gospel where not only Jesus is called the Light of the World, we too have been given that name when the Spirit transforms us to be the Body of Christ in the world. We are God’s sons and daughters.

Think about the story of Elijah where the bowl of flour and the jar of oil never run dry, it is fulfilled by the Bread blessed and broken who has come down from heaven, celebrated in our liturgy of the Eucharist for all time.

No wonder you are such a neat kid, Buddy. You are a Longhorn.

The prophecy of Moses, is that God will send to us the New Prophet, who will speak the words of God. It is fulfilled by his beloved Son, with this command to us, ‘Listen to him.’

This week when and where will we find a secret place to listen to him to transform us?

Sorry, Ben, I could not help you this morning. I was totally in bed, a strange place for me in the daytime.

Welcome in, Everybody. Abrasos for todos.

Readings:

Genesis 9, 8-15, Never again shall all creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood.

Psalm 147, Your way, Lord, are love and truth to those who keep your covenant.

1 Peter 3, 18-22, God patiently waited in the days of Noah.

Mark 1, 12-15, The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert.

Hi, Harper. How many Girl Scout cookies you going to sell us today? (Lots!)

Genesis: observations–

What: First book of the Bible, starts with creation & ends with the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob (Israel). Any reading from this book should start with Once upon a time. Why? Because we have here a literary genre that is like myth or a fairy tale in our language.

Thanks for bringing up the bread & grape juice, Joe & Brent & Cheryl.

Author: Not Moses as was thought for centuries before people began to study the work. At least 3 sources:
- a Y (or J) source for the group that addressed God as Yahweh;
- an E for the group who addressed God as Elohim (Like two historians calling NYC The Big Apple or New York City, or Denver by its name or Mile High City);
- and a P group that focused on the priestly class, activities, & customs, the Levite tribe.
Time: compiled and put together from 950 to 500 BCE.

Today's Selection: the flood has just receded and Noah is receiving a promise (called covenant) from Yahweh that never again will people be wiped out by a flood. Guess what the sign of the promise is.

Hey, You People, did not your mommas tell you not to go out on a cold and rainy morning?!

A Happy Lent

I want to talk this morning about having a happy Lent. Why? Because God created us to be happy.

I admit again that this is my least favorite season of the year. I always look for something positive to do and am never really satisfied with what I come up with.

Getting bored? Join the kids in the playroom.

Some years ago Diane McMahon recommended to me a facebook article by a lady named Karen Ehrman. She says, “For this Lent don’t give something up, take something up.” She has 4 positive suggestions for taking something up. I add a 5^th. I like her suggestions.

Get your Wednesday ashes at Marlene's comfy house.

1.       Take up note writing to people with whom you don’t communicate that often, but who are friends. She says she buys 40 cards, envelopes, and stamps. Each morning she sends one out to a friend, just saying that she likes the person.

2.       Take up the phone and call someone every day or once a week and tell them you are calling just to tell them thanks for being a good friend.

People come from the north.

3.       Take up a simple gift for a friend or family member. Like bring flowers to someone, bring a Starbucks, offer to wash the dishes, or clean or dust the house, mow the grass (welcome to Tulip Lane). Invite someone to lunch. This is a once a week or occasional take up.

People come from the South.

4.       Take up a simple gift for a stranger. Like the recycle men, the garbage men, the checkers at the grocery. Compliment the checker on her finger nails, give $10 to each of the garbage men (watch out for their over the top gratitude).

5.       Take up visiting someone in retirement or in a hospital. (This is my addition, not Karen’s) We got lots of people you may choose from.

Ashes for Debbie & Bobby.

As you can see, some of these suggestions are occasional or once a week ideas. Plus, what we have here are only seeds. Even while you were listening to the five I put forward, you may be been thinking about other possibilities.

How can you have a happy Lent?

Ashes for Cindy. A good Ash Wednesday gathering.

Sunday Homily, February 11, 2018, 6th Ordinary Time
ByRosemary February 11, 2018
Welcome in out of that 26 degree cold, Dear Emma and Dear Beth.

Readings:

Leviticus 13, 1-2, 44-46, If a man is leprous, the priest shall declare him unclean

Psalm 32, I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble.

Corinthians 10, 31-11, Whatever you do, do for the glory of God.

Mark 1, 40-45, A leper came to Jesus

I bet I can guess why Ben & Olivia are not here today. Like 26 degrees!

On the readings:
- The book of Leviticus is the third book of the Hebrew Bible. Most of Leviticus is written as God’s speeches to Moses on Mt. Sinai which Moses repeated to the Israelites. It’s almost all about rituals and moral practices to follow in order to live in ritual purity. It describes the many ways you can be ‘unclean’; today’s reading is one example. Leviticus describes many rituals and rules to be followed. Like the stories in Genesis and Exodus these rules were created to give the Israelites a special identity, to help hold them together during the Babylon captivity in the sixth century B.C. And it worked.
Our dearest Candle Lighter of The Week in action.
- In First Corinthians Paul tells the early Christians in Corinth to not be obsessed about Jewish food laws when eating with others. In this same letter before today’s passage Paul said, “I’m not going to walk around on eggshells worrying about what small-minded people might say; I’m going to stride free and easy, knowing what our large-minded Master has already said. If I eat what is served to me, grateful to God for what is on the table, how can I worry about what someone will say?”
- Mark’s Gospel reinforces that caring for another is more important than rituals and rules. I’ll talk more later about how this might relate to how we practice Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday this week.
Who let these characters in here, Joe (Geri's brother), Geri, and Mike?

Homily:

Mark’s story of Jesus and the leper is a good example of how Mark used stories to highlight the Good News Jesus preached. From Leviticus we know a leper could neither approach nor talk to Jesus. As a leper, he was unclean and would have to stay totally apart from others in out-of-the-way places and speak only to cry out ‘Unclean’. So, already, Mark is telling Jewish followers of Jesus that the old rules no longer apply.

Hi, Leo. You are looking terrific this morning.

This Gospel story turned Leviticus on its ear concerning the idea of being ‘unclean’. [Leprosy was incurable then, so their best survival practice was a strict quarantine. Since about 1880 we have known leprosy is caused by a particular bacteria; for over 60 years now it is treatable and curable with antibiotics.] The old rules said: lepers were ‘unclean’ and had to stay out of the way of others, and they were not to touch or be touched. In Mark’s story he has the man with leprosy not stay out of the way away and has him dare to speak out; and he also has Jesus talk to and touch one known to be ‘unclean’. So, in Mark the rules are changed, and Jesus is approachable by anyone.

The Best.

In Paul’s letter to Corinthians he turns the rules in Leviticus upside down by questioning the rules about food and the eating habits of Jewish Christians. Paul said they should relax and “eat your meals heartily.”

So, considering these teaching stories from Leviticus and Mark and Paul, what do you do for Lent to prepare for Easter?

Somebody finally gave that man a job.

1) Some may give up sweets or do something else healthy. In the 60’s every Lent I would say “I’m giving up watermelon.” (I even used to get a laugh, since back then everyone knew watermelon wasn’t available till summer.)

2) Some will go to south Texas to work with victims of Hurricane Harvey—people struggling to get their houses and lives back in order. You are the community sending those who go; they represent us and this community’s caring for those in need. They will come back to our community members with stories of fun and comradery. They may also have stories about primitive lodging. (Ask Bill what he’s taking ‘just in case’.)

Peace, Angela and Cathy.

3) A third possibility is to consider a teaching quoted in Ash Wednesday’s Mass from the prophet Joel 2:13—a favorite Bible verse of Stack’s: “God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in kindness.” Why on Ash Wednesday?     This verse is also found in Psalms 86, 103, and 145; and in the books of Exodus 34:6; and Jonah 4:2; and Nehemiah 9:17.

Bill, updating the plans for a dozen or so of our community heading to Dickenson, TX to join Professor Jim Mahar of St. Bonaventure U. & his 50 or so students, to help with the clean up after the hurricane. There is still lots to do.

What if everyone prepared for Easter by imitating that verse?—withholding acts of anger; performing acts of mercy and kindness.   What will you do for Lent?
