THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER Children who are poor make toys out of the unlikeliest things: milk cartons, nails, bottle caps, sticks, plastic bags, corn cobs, clothespins. Folks who have plenty consider these things trash in fact, some poor children literally make their toys out of trash. Their abject need gives them a different perspective, seeing blessing where the rich see only waste. Material poverty is a scourge on our planet, and we must never make excuses for it. We must work tirelessly for decent conditions for every human person. As we work, we can learn from the special perspective of our brothers and sisters who do not have enough to live. We can see how depending on others for resources can transform a rich person s trash into a poor child s treasure. Third Sunday of Advent Last week our readings urged us to cast off sin and to pursue holiness eagerly. God s grace helps us do this and prepares us for limitless, everlasting glory. Today s readings confirm the great joy of this endeavor and provide specific advice on how to proceed: by becoming poor. The prophet Isaiah describes the savior who comes to bring glad tidings to the poor. We are the poor people in need of glad tidings. Following the example of John the Baptist, we acknowledge that we are poor; we are not worthy of the Lord s attention. Even so, Jesus delights in caring for us. Recognizing how poor we are, and yet how great is God s love for us, we can only rejoice always, as Saint Paul advises. We continue our Advent journey, becoming poor by emptying our hearts of sin and giving thanks to God for helping us grow in holiness.
