Fear and Intimacy This bronze shows the young John pointing as if responding to a question or pointing the way. There was anxious anticipation amongst the Jews about the coming Messiah.

When we lack control or can t plan for our security, we get anxious. Fear and anxiety are the enemies of intimacy and love.

But fear doesn t create space for true intimacy. It either creates excessive distance or suffocating closeness. John didn t want to create fear or caution of God.

He comes to make his home among us, while waiting for us to accept him and make room for him. He doesn t force, but comes with patience and love.

John the Baptist came to prepare the path for the Messiah, and many responded by asking, What should we do to prepare? Put aside anxiety and fear, simply prepare a home for him, and then let him in.

2 Fear and Intimacy This bronze shows the young John pointing as if responding to a question or pointing the way. There was anxious anticipation amongst the Jews about the coming Messiah. Yet, we have no reason for anxiety. Anxiety comes from fear of the unknown. When we re unsure of how things will turn out, we get anxious. When we lack control or can t plan for our security, we get anxious. Fear and anxiety are the enemies of intimacy and love. Fear makes us run far enough away so we feel removed from danger, safe from the aggressor. Or it drives us to hold someone, seeking strength in attachment. But fear doesn t create space for true intimacy. It either creates excessive distance or suffocating closeness. John didn t want to create fear or caution of God. Rather, he wanted to open hearts to receive God in love. Ours is not a God of fear, but of love. In Jesus Incarnation, he shows just how much he wants to be with us. He comes to make his home among us, while waiting for us to accept him and make room for him. He doesn t force, but comes with patience and love. Knowing that he loves and wants the best for us, we merely need to make ourselves known to him by revealing our deepest needs to him with prayer. John the Baptist came to prepare the path for the Messiah, and many responded by asking, What should we do to prepare? Put aside anxiety and fear, simply prepare a home for him, and then let him in. Fr. Mark Haydu, LC For Reflection What causes me fear or anxiety? Can I give my anxiety to Jesus and ask him to bring me a greater sense of peace this Christmas?

Philippians 4: Liguori Publications Liguori, MO Este bronce muestra al joven John señalando como respondiendo a una pregunta o señalando el camino. Había una anticipación ansiosa entre los judíos sobre el Mesías venidero. Sin embargo, no tenemos ninguna razón para la ansiedad. La ansiedad proviene del miedo a lo desconocido. Cuando no estamos seguros de cómo serán las cosas, nos ponemos ansiosos. Cuando no tenemos control o no podemos planificar nuestra seguridad, nos ponemos ansiosos. El miedo y la ansiedad son los enemigos de la intimidad y el amor. El miedo nos hace correr lo suficientemente lejos para que nos sintamos alejados del peligro, a salvo del agresor. O nos impulsa a sostener a alguien, buscando fuerza en el apego. Pero el miedo no crea espacio para la verdadera intimidad. O bien crea una distancia excesiva o sofocante cercanía. John no quería crear temor o precaución de Dios. Más bien, él quería abrir corazones para recibir a Dios en amor. El nuestro no es un Dios de miedo, sino de amor. En la Encarnación de Jesús, muestra cuánto quiere estar con nosotros. Él viene a hacer su hogar entre nosotros, mientras espera que lo aceptemos y le dejemos espacio. Él no fuerza, sino que viene con paciencia y amor. Sabiendo que él ama y desea lo mejor para nosotros, simplemente necesitamos darnos a conocer al revelarle nuestras necesidades más profundas con la oración. Juan el Bautista vino a preparar el camino para el Mesías, y muchos respondieron preguntando: Qué debemos hacer para prepararnos? Deje de lado la ansiedad y el miedo, simplemente prepare un hogar para él y luego déjelo entrar.

What we know about John the Baptist comes from a combination of Scripture and traditions that evolved during and after the writing of the Scriptures of the New Testament. John s parents were Zechariah, a priest in the Jerusalem Temple, and Elizabeth, who was related to Mary. The angel Gabriel told Zechariah that his wife would bear a son, even though she was quite old. It is believed that John was born in the region of Ain Karim, southwest of Jerusalem. During his early twenties, he was a member of the Qumran community, and later was a desert hermit. In his late twenties John began his public ministry in the Jordan River Valley. He followed a long line of Jewish prophets who preached against evils of the day, demanding inner repentance and outer baptism as a sign of that repentance. John continued to preach in the Jordan Valley even after encountering Jesus. Eventually John was arrested by Herod Antipas and imprisoned at Machaerus Fortress by the Dead Sea. He was beheaded at the request of Salome, daughter of Herodias. After John s death, many of his disciples followed Jesus, including Andrew and John. John, whose name means God is gracious, is usually represented in pictures holding a long slender cross with a small lamb partially hidden behind him. He is the patron of monastic life, people with epilepsy and other compulsive disorders, lambs, printers, blacksmiths, and tailors. Fr. Paul J. Coury, CSsR Sundaybulletin@Liguori.org ST.
