Tamiami Trail, Osprey, Florida Phone: Fax: Website:

Something in their education caused them to lose sight of their dependence on God. Perhaps it was because they had attained social status and comfort.

2 ORDINARY TIME did so. They saw in Jesus a source of the same grace they had relied on all their lives. The Yoke of Mission Michael Simone, America, June 16, 2017 The wise and the learned, meanwhile, had forgotten the lessons of dependence. Jesus actions perplexed and troubled them. Something in their education caused them to lose sight of their dependence on God. Perhaps it was because they had attained social status and comfort. Perhaps they came to believe that in their learning they had every answer they would need to make their own way through life. Just as a climatologist might be able to describe a desert but not survive in it, the wise and learned of Jesus day were able to talk about God more easily than they could recognize the action of grace. Although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned, you have revealed them to little ones. (Mt 11:25) British Writer T. E. Lawrence was astonished by the things his Bedouin companions noticed in the desert. Where Lawrence saw only a bleak expanse of sand, the Bedouin saw animal tracks, small plants, evidence of water and places to hide from the sun. They could squint into the noontime glare and spot the approach of fellow travellers or opposing armies long before Lawrence s eyes could pick them out. They knew the rhythms of the desert, the wind patterns and seasonal changes that predicted sandstorms or an abundance of life giving dew. According to Lawrence, the desert was a mother to the Bedouin, and he never ceased to be amazed at their understanding of her ways. Jesus offers us a similar insight this week. During his active ministry, he lived his life utterly dependent on divine providence. He emphasized this dependence to his disciples before he sent them out to preach in his name. This was no ascetical exercise; it was the necessary path to God. A person completely dependent on God becomes sensitive to the subtle rhythms of divine action in the world. Jesus was a child of God as Lawrence s Bedouin were children of the desert. Jesus recognized a similar sensitivity among the poor and simple of his day. They knew their dependence on providence, and it sharpened their awareness of God s action in the world. These little ones recognized Jesus before anyone else The first part of today s Gospel also appears in Luke, but the second part, Mt 11:28-30, is unique to Matthew. The statement is a paradox: The yoke symbolizes the burden of servitude, yet Jesus promises a yoke of rest. Matthew understands a life dependent on God to be a life of freedom. Jesus offers the same yoke that he bears, the saving mission he receives from the Father. Like most yokes, it has two collars to distribute the load. As the disciples discovered, to take up Jesus yoke means to give up fantasies of control and selfimportance. At the same time, they learned that Jesus did all the heavy lifting. His is a yoke of rest. In the midst of our relief, we can still find plenty to do. Jesus needs our feet to move with his. He needs us to watch his labor and assist as we can. As Bedouin are children of the desert, we will, yoked to Christ, learn to become children of God. Q. What experiences remind you of your dependence on God? What do you learn from them? Q. What experiences hide God from you? Q. What burdens can you let Christ carry? Michael R. Simone, S.J., teaches Scripture at Boston College School of Theology and Ministry.

YOUTH CORNER Hi! Last week I shared some of my musings about how the family meal is a preparation for heaven. But did you know that it's a good preparation for life, as well?

Most of these studies are independent of ethnic background, socioeconomic status and whether it is a one- or two-parent home.

Conversation around the family table teaches children more vocabulary and this advances reading. Improves school grades.

Kids who have regular family meals are less likely to take drugs, feel depressed or have suicidal thoughts, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, have sex at a young age or get into fights.

6 YOUTH CORNER Hi! Last week I shared some of my musings about how the family meal is a preparation for heaven. But did you know that it's a good preparation for life, as well? Studies show that family meals deliver a host of benefits to both children and parents. Most of these studies are independent of ethnic background, socioeconomic status and whether it is a one- or two-parent home. Did you know that children from families that regularly eat together enjoy the following advantages: Improves vocabulary and reading. Conversation around the family table teaches children more vocabulary and this advances reading. Improves school grades. Having regular family meals is a strong predictor of academic achievement in several different studies. Lowers risk-taking behaviors. Kids who have regular family meals are less likely to take drugs, feel depressed or have suicidal thoughts, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, have sex at a young age or get into fights. Improves family relationships. These kids report better family communication, stronger family ties and a greater sense of identity and belonging. Many families use this time to catch up on each other's lives. Improves diet. Family meals are associated with a lower intake of soft-drinks and snack foods and improved intakes of fruits, vegetables, grains, calcium-rich foods, protein, iron, fiber and vitamins, A, C, B6 and folate. Girls in these families exhibited fewer eating disorders or extreme diet behaviors. Consistent meals discourage snacking and model healthy eating habits. Many of you can probably remember what Fr. Peyton said, "The family that prays together, stays together." I wonder if it is also true that the family that eats together, stays together? St. Benedict Abbot (ca ) His feast day is celebrated on July 11. We are about to open a school for God s service, in which we hope nothing harsh or oppressive will be directed. As a young man, St. Benedict was moved to abandon his studies in Rome to devote himself to the quest for God. This led him, at first, to the solitude of a cave at Subiaco. There, in me, a er a rac ng followers, he was persuaded to assume leadership of a nearby monas c community. It was not an ini al success; following his monks a empt to poison him, Benedict shook the dust from his feet. With much be er results, he went on to organize a group of monasteries, including the famous monastery at Monte Cassino, later renowned as the birthplace of the Benedic ne Order. There he wrote his hugely influen al monas c Rule and there, in me, he died. Whereas earlier monas c experiments had stressed rigorous asce cism and self-denial, Benedict s Rule was designed for ordinary human beings. The element of discipline was shi ed from externals to the interior, from the flesh to the will. In place of an emphasis on fas ng and mor fica on, Benedict subs tuted the discipline of humility, obedience, and ongoing conversion to the spirit of monas c life. Rather than envisioning a collec on of individuals compe ng in the quest for perfec on, Benedict stressed the role of community as a school for holiness. His emphasis on the balance of work and prayer, his valida on of community, and his regula on of monas c life eventually set the pa ern for Western monas cism. For centuries his monasteries offered the witness of an alterna ve society governed by the spirit of Christ. Few saints have le such a palpable impact on their world.
