1 saint FRancis xavier parish The Christmas Season 2018 Our Mission Statement St. Francis Xavier is a Catholic- Jesuit parish ignited by the Eucharist To Pray, Serve, Do Justice, and Love.
2 An Examination of Consciousness for the Fourth Week of Advent: Wonder in His Coming as a Child Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled. Luke 1:39-45 TAKE 5 DEEP BREATHS: Inhale saying, Come. Exhale saying, Jesus. EXAMINE YOUR LIFE AT THIS MOMENT: What must I let go of to receive the coming of the Child? What must I do to welcome Christ in those around me? What brings me the childlike wonder this day? ASK FOR YOUR DESIRE: A SENSE OF WONDER AT THE MYSTERY OF GOD WHO IS ONE WITH US. Because of his boundless love, Jesus became what we are that he might make us to be what he is. -Irenaeus of Lyons 2
3 "Let us dance with delight in the Lord, and let our hearts be filled with rejoicing, for the Light of the world has appeared on the earth, Alleluia." Liturgy of the Hours It is easy to forget that the Incarnation was a free choice. That it did not have to happen. God did not have to come among us as a baby, weak and vulnerable, susceptible to all the things that the world and human sinfulness can throw at a person. The great feast of Christmas is a celebration of the Incarnation - a celebration of love Freely Given. God did not have to come to us at all. Now, there are reasons that we take for granted that God had to enter the world to redeem the human race in part, because we cannot image it not happening, cannot imagine what it would be like to be truly left on our own, left to our own devices. But we can also take it for granted because something like it had always happened before. After all, isn t that what God does? God, the Creator of the Universe, time and again, rescues us from our own fears, our own mistakes, our own acts of rebellion and self-will. Since that first day in the Garden when we were so afraid that the One who had breathed life into us might not want to give us all that we desired we have tried to take what we want on our own, picking it like fruit from a tree, at the behest of our constant companion, the serpent. And it always seemed to end so badly. We always ended up hiding in the bushes, afraid and embarrassed and realizing we have just learned more than we ever wanted to know and that we had lost a little bit more of Paradise. But God was always there, even when we had to face the consequences of our actions. We left the Garden and were blocked from returning, but there was God, right behind us as we went out into the world. But, each time that we walked away or hid from God, each time we tried to prove that we could do it ourselves, God stayed with us and was right there when we turned around. So, maybe that is why we could take it for granted that saving us is what God does, and what God would do. But still, we never quite trusted it; we were always afraid. Maybe next time would be different, we thought; maybe next time, God won t be there when we call. And so we continued the cycle testing the boundaries of God s love for us, surprised by God s persistence, then fearful of the day love would reach its limit. And, honestly, at any time, God could have stopped. There was no force that compelled God to save us no demand of justice, no co-dependent compulsion that moved the divine heart, no self-interest that was served by our repeated rescue. A million other species have risen and fallen, just on our little planet, and life goes on. God s creation continues to exist. So, there was no reason for God to save us, over and over again. There was (and is) no merit that makes our salvation inevitable, or even deserved. Except that God loves us. God loves us that s it. And loving us, God does not want us to perish; but more than that, because God loves us absolutely and entirely, and in a way that makes no sense to any reasonable person, God also wants us to get over our fear that someday we may reach the limits of God s patience, our fear that somehow God might leave us a fear that always makes us susceptible to the serpent s cunning, to those temptations of avarice and power, of violence and pride that come to us in so many different forms. The Incarnation of God in Jesus is a purely free act of unconditional love. It is God s eternal promise of communion with us in everything we are, and everything God is. This promise is made irrevocable by the blood and flesh of this tiny baby, Mary s child and God s own Son. Conceived of an unmarried maiden in an occupied country; born far from the safety of his parents home, in a hovel meant for animals; unwelcome in the places of power and among people of influence; unnoticed by all but a few shepherds, the most outcast members of the community, Jesus does not enter this world like an all powerful deity, seeking supplicants. 3
4 Rather, he comes like One seeking companions, sisters and brothers who know what it is to be frail and outcast, cold and alone; who know what it is to suffer all the disorders born of Original Sin and human failure. He comes as One who needs to suckle, as we have suckled, and to be held, as we have been held. With total freedom, God in this child Jesus becomes totally dependent upon us, and so surrenders to us everything that we once feared we could not have, and everything that we could ever desire. Not by our power, not by our snatching it from the tree of the Garden, but as a pure and eternal gift it comes to us, this grace of life in its fullness. God gives it to us...or rather, God gives himself to us, and so makes us one with God. To put it in the words of St. Irenaeus of Lyon: Because of his boundless love, Jesus became what we are, that he might make us to be what he is. May this boundless love, this eternal gift, bless us all this Christmas. May it free our world from fear, and each of us from the power of fear. May the child given to us by perfect love allow us to love every child as though she or he were perfect because each of them is, a perfect child of God and a sister or brother of God s Son. On this Great Feast of Christmas May we know we are always welcome here in this sanctuary and within this parish family. May we open our eyes and our hearts this week and feel the invitation to return every week for this grace. May we allow ourselves to see and believe, even if we are not ready, even if we are afraid. May we embrace the leap of Joy our God makes into our hearts: On behalf of Frs. Perry, SJ, Hightower, SJ and all the staff, we wish you: Merry Christmas and blessings in this holy season, Pastor 4
