Page 3 October 9, 2016-28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Reflections from Fr. Brian 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time The most famous of all Charlie Brown comic strips is the annual one creator Charles Schulz runs (with variations) around the start of the fall of football season. You know the one where Lucy holds the football for Charlie Brown to kick. We all know what will happen but we wonder what fresh closing line Schulz will come up with each year. This last one was a gem and ties with our theme of holding and trusting. Lucy invites Charlie to kick the ball while she holds it for him. He says to her: You must think I m crazy. You say you ll hold the ball, but you won t. You ll pull it away and I ll break my neck. With a most angelic look, Lucy responds: Why, Charlie Brown, how you talk. I wouldn t think of such a thing. I m a changed person. Look, isn t this a face you can trust? Since Charlie Brown is Charlie Brown, he accepts Lucy at her word. All right, you hold the ball and I ll come running up and kick it. Sure enough, the expected happens, she jerks the ball away at the last second, and, as he flies through the air to smash to the ground, he can only shout: She did it again. In the last scene, a properly penitent Lucy leans over Charlie to say: I admire you, Charlie Brown. You have such faith in human nature. Our lack of trust in human relations may be laid to the lack of trust in God. Maybe what s inscribed on our coins, In God We Trust, has lost as much over the past years as has the currency value itself. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust. That s something to hold on to. A beautiful example of trust is seen in this experience: In the Louvre there is a life-sized statue of a Greek athlete called The Gladiator. Admiring it one day, a group of shabbily-dressed French boys, accompanied by their teacher, obviously on an educational tour. They were all blind. Whenever they stood before some art treasure the teacher took each lad, guided his fingers over it, and carefully described its appearance. There was one small fellow whom he lifted up to The Gladiator. He was a thin, spindlylegged little child reaching out to embrace this likeness in marble of perfect physical manhood. I have often thought of that as a parable. We all must choose some Gladiator, the measure not only of physical manhood but also full-orbed personality at its highest and best. For the Christian it is Christ. We look at him and learn what it means to be human, mature, full-grown, and perfect. In Him we can place our unconditional trust. YÜA UÜ tç
