Page 4 By Fr. Chris Collins, S.J. Homily for July 1, 2018 National Homiletic Review Our Lady of Lourdes Parish July 1, 2018 The gracious act of Christ, emptying himself for us. In the liturgy today, we are given a word from the Book of Wisdom that faces, head on, the ultimate human question of death, and God s relationship to it. The response could not be more blunt: God did not make death. What God does is create. He makes life and offers love that makes life worth living, as Bishop Sheen so famously put it. God: fashioned all things that they might have being and has formed us to be imperishable. That is God s plan. Period. Of course, there is death and destruction of being all around us. Where is God? What is His response? St. Paul gives us a clue in the second reading. He urges the Corinthians that while they excel in faith, discourse, knowledge and love, that they might also excel in this gracious act also. What is the gracious act? This gracious act must be getting close to the core of what makes all the difference in our Christian vision. Indeed it is the core. St. Paul immediately describes the gracious act initiated by Christ that though he was rich, he became poor for our sakes. The gracious act is God s own free choice to let go, as it were, of the richness of his divinity and empty himself, becoming a slave, taking on human flesh for those of us who are threatened by sin and death. By looking at the person of Jesus, we see the power of God going out from himself out from his transcendence, so that he can be close to his people, close to the broken-hearted, close to the poor, the small, the weak. That s what God does. In the person of Jesus, we see a glimpse of that same power of God, that has nothing to do with death, and everything to do with life. In today s Gospel, while responding in the affirmative to the plea to go to heal the daughter of Jairus, Jesus shows his instinctive desire to bring life. While he is on his way to Jairus house, another encounter happens that reveals the same truth about the power of God s life flowing through Jesus. It is unique among the Gospel accounts of Jesus encounters with the sick, the blind, and the lame. As the woman suffering with the hemorrhages makes a desperate attempt to reach out to touch Jesus cloak, she has a single-hearted desire for healing to come to her from one she believes has that power. Her weakness meets Jesus power, and in that meeting, a transformation occurs. St. Mark describes the unusual nature of the healing: Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him looks around to find out who had received that power of life and healing. He seeks to personalize what had happened in an apparently automatic manner. The woman, realizing what had happened to her then sought to approach Jesus, though she did so with fear and trembling. Both Jesus and the woman seek to make personal the encounter that had happened unconsciously. Upon their face-to-face meeting, Jesus confirms her not only as a person who has been healed, but as one who has been given a renewed identity: Daughter, your faith has saved you. Not only does Jesus overcome the chasm of isolation she experienced as one who is suffering, but he draws her into a new identity, as a beloved daughter of his Father. Not only is her being refashioned, as the Book of Wisdom describes it, but a new identity is given her. This is to be the pattern of the Church, also. We are to, first, be the beneficiaries of Christ s gracious act: he empties himself, becoming one with us so that we might become one with him in eternity. Once we have received this gracious act of Christ, we in turn, as members of his body, are to perform that gracious act ourselves in the world around us. A question for us today might be: how prepared am I to let go of my riches, becoming poor for the sake of those in need? How might I take part in the gracious act of Christ s self-emptying love for the sake of people like us who don t seem to deserve it?

For info: 516-541-8056. THE SUPREME COURT struck down a California law forcing pregnancy centers to promote abortions. This is a massive victory for pro-life advocates and pregnancy centers that provide pro-life options for pregnant women considering abortion without being forced to promote abortions. The lawsuit, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra, was brought by pregnancy centers that did not want to be compelled to advertise abortions. The centers argued that the California Reproductive FACT Act violates the free speech clause in the First Amendment. Justice Thomas wrote the 5-4 majority opinion. He was joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kennedy, Alito and Gorsuch. The majority opinion stated the law likely violates the First Amendment The licensed notice is a content-based regulation. By compelling petitioners to speak a particular message, it alters the content of [their] speech the people lose when the government is the one deciding which ideas should prevail This Court s precedents are deeply skeptical of laws that distinguish[h] among different speakers, allowing speech by some but not by others. This ruling could impact similar pro-abortion/anti-free-speech laws enacted in other states. Michael Farris, Alliance Defending Freedom President, CEO and General Counsel, argued the case before the Supreme Court. He stated, The state of California, at the behest of the abortion industry, is using its power to force pro-life pregnancy centers to be complicit in abortion by telling women how to get one free or at a reduced cost. Even worse, AB775 specifically targets these small non-profit organizations that exist to provide women with life-affirming information they may not otherwise receive. Other federal courts have already recognized that this type of government compelled speech violates the foundation of the freedom we have making the 9 th Circuit s denial of free speech the exception rather than the rule. In fact, courts have invalidated or mostly invalidated similar laws in Texas, Maryland, and NYC When the government decides what people should and should not say, other freedoms are sure to disappear soon after. The government exists to serve its people, and not the other way around. Even if you are not pro-life, do you want the government setting up its own advertising mandates for non-profit organizations and then punishing any who disagree? The First Amendment does not allow the government to force you to speak its message. That s especially true when you are pursuing a religious mission of simply providing resources and support to women free of charge. As expected, Planned Parenthood criticized the decision. In a series of tweets they claimed that pregnancy centers are giving medically inaccurate information to women, though it provided no examples or evidence to support the claim. NARAL and the Center for Reproductive Rights said the law is necessary because pregnancy centers manipulate and deceive pregnant women. Jay Hobbs of Heartbeat International stated that these groups have not produced a single testimony from a woman who has been harmed by a pregnancy center.
