Page 3 Reflections from Fr. Brian 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time July 10, 2016-15th Sunday in Ordinary Time In Morris West s novel, The Shoes of the Fisherman, there is a great scene where the Pope goes through the poorer section of Rome incognito. As he is walking along, a door of an apartment house opens, and a man rushes out, runs into the Pope, and almost knocks him down. The man mutters an apology, and, then, as he catches sight of the cassock, says curtly: There s a man dying up there. Maybe you can do more for him than I can. Who are you? asks the Pope. A doctor, the man replies. They never call us until it s too late. The Pope goes into the house and finds a man obviously near death. He is alone except for a young woman nurse attending him. The Pope tries to talk to him, but is unable to get any response at all. The girl says: It s no use, Father. He s too far gone to hear you. The Pope pronounces the absolution and kneels to pray. Soon the man is dead. The woman says: We should go, Father. Neither of us will be welcome now. I would like to help the family, says the Pontiff. We should go, the woman says again. Then she adds, in what is one of the most poignant lines of the book: They can cope with death. It s only living that defeats them. It may be a new emphasis that the Resurrection comes to us with a very frightening idea. We can adjust ourselves to dying; however, what if we do not die, but live? The victory of the gospel is nowhere more apparent that in its ability to help us confront God s gift of life and accept it. That giant of the pulpit, Harry Emerson Fosdick, once wrote: We ask the leaf, Are you complete in yourself? And the leaf answers, No, my life is in the branches. We ask the branch, and the branch answers, No, my life is in the root. We ask the root, and the root answers, No, my life is in the trunk and the branches and the leaves. Keep the branches stripped of leaves, and I shall die. So it is with the great tree of being. Nothing is completely and merely individual. An unusual woman was being interviewed by a reporter. Although a widow for years, she had reared six children of her own and twelve adopted children. In spite of her busy and useful life, she was noted for her poise and charm. The reporter asked how she managed. You see, I m in a partnership. What kind of a partnership? One day a long time ago I said, Lord, I ll do the work, and you do the worrying. And I haven t had a worry since. As we prepare to celebrate our Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, let us deepen our trust in Her Loving care and remember Faith does for living what sunshine does for stained-glass windows. Happy Feast Day. YÜA UÜ tç
