Fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-26 - JOY

Joy, χαρά, in NT Greek, is used to indicate "self-being in self-transport . . . a culmination of existence." Joy strains beyond itself, inhabited by the spark of the divine. "Joy is not just a state of feeling but a way of making the world manifest. Joy is determined by the discovery of being in its joyousness” (Theological Dictionary of the New New Testament, Eerdmans).

We know joy because God rejoices. Preparing for his Passion, Jesus first addresses his disciples at the Last Supper. He invites us to know his joy as his friends, and by become like him:

“By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:8-14).

And then, as Jesus prepares to give Himself completely for us, to the Father, he says this: “But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely” (John 17:13).

Joy is not the absence of suffering. It is not the perfect life, with all the qualities in place for well-being. Joy can be found in the midst of the desert as well as on the mountaintop; joy can be found in the valley of the shadow of death as well as on the beach of contentment and delight. Joy is the choice to find God in all moments, in all things. Henri Nouwen says this of joy:

"God rejoices because one of his children who was lost has been found. What I am called to is to enter into that joy. It is God's joy, not the joy that the world offers.” It is the ability to rejoice in the small, hidden things of daily life. "The reward of choosing joy is joy itself. Living among people with mental disabilities has convinced me of that. There is much rejection, pain, and woundedness among us, but once you choose to claim the joy hidden in the midst of all suffering, life becomes celebration. Joy never denies the sadness, but transforms it to a fertile soil for more joy” (Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son, 114-116).

Welcome to Easter Joy! I have experienced a glorious start to the Resurrection season with the Cathedral community during Holy Week and Easter. The entire days of these glorious liturgies reminded me of the great privilege to be part of the community of Jesus’ disciples. The invitation to know His love is both personal and universal. Our liturgical life is always a "moment captured in time" of our visible members, who yearn to become saints among the saints with the Mystical body of Christ. Thank you for all you do. May the joy of Christ be ever present in our hearts, thoughts, feelings and actions in the days ahead. Fr. Tim

Divine Mercy Sunday

El Rincón del Rector

El fruto del espíritu, GL 5, 22-26 La alegría

La alegría, χαρά en el griego del nuevo testamento se usa para indicar “el estar en el auto-transporte…una culminación de la existencia.” La alegría se esfuerza más allá de sí mismo, habitado por la chispa de lo divino. “La alegría no es solamente un estado de sentimiento sino una forma de hacer que el mundo se manifieste. La alegría está determinada por el descubrimiento de estar en la alegría” (Theological Dictionary of the New New Testament, Eerdmans).

Nosotros conocemos la alegría porque Dios se alegra. Al prepararse para su Pasión, Jesús habló primero a sus discípulos en la Última Cena. Jesús nos invita como amigo a compartir en su alegría y así convirtiéndonos parecidos a Él:

“En esto es glorificado Mi Padre, en que den mucho fruto, y así prueben que son Mis discípulos. Como el Padre Me ha amado, así también Yo los he amado; permanezcan en Mi amor. Si guardan Mis mandamientos, permanecerán en Mi amor, así como Yo he guardado los mandamientos de Mi Padre y permanezco en Su amor. Estas cosas les he hablado, para que Mi gozo esté en ustedes, y su gozo sea perfecto. Este es Mi mandamiento: que se amen los unos a los otros, así como Yo los he amado. Nadie tiene un amor mayor que éste: que uno dé su vida por sus amigos. Ustedes son Mis amigos si hacen lo que Yo les mando” (Jn 15, 8-14).

Y luego, cuando Jesús está por entregarse completamente a nosotros, al Padre le dice esto: “Pero ahora voy a Ti; y hablo esto en el mundo para que tengan Mi gozo completo en sí mismos” (Jn 17, 13).

La alegría no es la ausencia del sufrir. No quiere decir que es una vida perfecta donde todo está en su lugar para el bienestar. La alegría se encuentra tanto en el desierto que en las cimas de las montañas; la puede encontrar en el valle de sombra de muerte así como en la playa de la satisfacción y el deleite. La alegría quiere decir que uno se escoge encontrar a Dios en todos momentos y en todas cosas. Sobre la alegría, Henri Nouwen dice:

“Dios se alegra porque uno de sus hijos que se había perdido ha sido encontrado. A lo que yo estoy llamado es a unirme a esa alegría. Es la alegría de Dios, no la alegría que ofrece el mundo.” Es la capacidad a regocijar en las cosas pequeñas y escondidas de la vida. “La recompensa por elegir la alegría es la propia alegría. Vivir entre gente con enfermedades mentales me ha convencido de ello. Hay muchos signos de desprecio, dolor, y muchas heridas entre nosotros, pero una vez que eliges descubrir la alegría escondida en medio de tanto sufrimiento, la vida se convierte en una fiesta. La alegría no niega la tristeza, sino que la transforma en una tierra fértil para cultivar más alegría.” (Nouwen, El regreso del hijo pródigo, 114-116).

¡Bienvenidos a la alegría de la Pascua! Yo he experimentado un comienzo glorioso a la temporada de la Resurrección con la comunidad de la catedral durante la semana santa y la Pascua. Estos días de gloriosas liturgias me recordaron del gran privilegio que es en ser parte de la comunidad de los discípulos (continua)

April Is Child Abuse Protection Month Matthew 18:2-6

The Catholic Church is committed to ensuring the safety of children and young people and providing pastoral outreach to victims and survivors of sexual abuse by clergy. The Church’s mission to protect and heal stems from the Gospel: the life and teachings of Jesus Christ provide us with the perfect foundation for our efforts to create safe environments for children. Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Mt 19:14).

“We remain ever vigilant in the protection of children and the outreach to those most harmed by sexual abuse. The Church cannot become complacent with what has been accom-plished.” —Former USCCB President Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, 2015 Annual Report on the Implementation of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.
