He answered, I do not know. Am I my bror s keeper? Genesis 4:9 The image haunts me. Every day sce I first saw photograph of ng Aylan Kurdi (did know that was his name?) lyg dead on Turkish ach, I have thought of him. I have imaged how much his parents must have loved him loved his laugh, loved his hugs, loved his still nocent smile. It was love that led his mor to take him on that boat with his bror, led to both of m dyg, as well. It was love that sent his far ahead, hopg to fd a place for m where y could safe toger, away from carnage of Syria threat of death at hs of ISIS or Assad, Westernbacked rels or Russianbacked government troops. This was not negligence nor ideology, but a mor s love. In face of an unendurable situation of violence war, Aylan s mor did a desperate calculation, concludg that only way for her family to alive toger was to flee to Europe illicitly sce governments of West remaed largely unwillg to help, violence Syria made it too dangerous to rema. Aylan s family was not only one to perish, of course, y were not even first this most recent round of displacements. Thouss have drowned off coast of Europe Middle East; millions more sit hungry idle refugee camps around borders of Syria, waitg for a chance, tryg to keep alive both ir children ir hopes se are fortunate ones, who have not died as victims of poison gas or Russian ordance, airstrikes or ISIS cursions. Today re are an estimated 6.5 million displaced Syrian people, of whom approximately 3 million are on move or exile as refugees across world. A relatively few have en given refugee status Germany or France, although on way to apply for such status, many have died if not at sea, n asphyxiated back of unventilated trucks, aboned on side of road by callous smugglers. Yet, still y have come, carryg ir children longgs with m, at
times, pushg ir weak elderly wheelchairs or carts for miles. What is one small child agast such a backdrop of horror loss; one more death a sea of national bloodlettg ternational apathy? Is he not ust anor momentary image, soon forgotten, as we move our cursor down to next post on Kim Davis or next article professg outrage at this or that politician? On his first pastoral visit office, Pope Francis traveled to ty isl of Lampedusa, where countless migrants refugees first reach l on European content where thouss have died tryg. At water s edge, dressed penitential purple, Francis condemned policies by which gates of entry were closed to virtually all sufferg peoples. He spoke out agast silence of West, where fate of migrants refugees was largely visible. He spoke out agast culture of consumption, which has forgotten how to weep, how to experience compassion. There, amid exiled unwanted, Vicar of Christ spoke to those who would promote border walls fear of anchor babies, lamentg: We have come used to sufferg of ors. It doesn t affect us. It doesn t terest us. It s not our busess. And n, as he has done so many times sce, he prayed for us to given sight, prayed that we might see crucifixion our midst, prayed that God might grant pardon for those who are complacent closed amid comforts which have deadened ir hearts. And through his prayer his presence, his humility his summons, we have gun to see sufferg Christ, enfleshed dispossessed, callg to us now. Ayl Kurdi was a little boy who loved to play laugh, whose grmor spoiled him who was pride of his far s heart. He is not a symbol, nor an angel, nor a meme, nor a metaphor. And we reduce him when we make him that. He was our bror, our complacency we allowed him to drown, as we have allowed so many ors. He drowned not cause God allowed it, but cause we allowed it. We allowed it when we vaded Iraq, heedless of tens of thouss of nocents who would suffer. We allowed it when we funded weapons stead of schools; border guards stead of refugee services; regimes who serve our will, stead of will of ir own people. We allowed it when we our allies refused to open door to those need cause we fear... (sert any numr of thgs here). We allowed it when we cultivated xenophobic tendencies our own hearts grumbled, like Ca, about how ungrateful annoyg is call of our bror. We allowed it with our difference we allowed it with our actions. And now simply to weep at a photograph is not enough. This weekend, Pope Francis called on every religious community parish, every monastery diocese Europe to welcome make a home for refugees streamg to content from Syria receivg two families to Vatican itself. And though few from Syria may come to United States, we must ask ourselves, what can we at St. Joseph do to st with m? What can we do to make our love more than ust weepg: to make it resurrection? I want r thoughts proposals, vite r comments. Please write me at whitney@stosephparish.org Let us discern with courage call of Francis, hold fast, this discernment, to heart md of Christ. St. Joseph Community extends its prayers hopes for followg tentions: For people who are seekg safe refuge a l of opportunity... For Francis her upcomg surgery... For John s leg to heal well... For Changthou s h to okay... For wellg of Patricia, Recca, Betty, Michael, Scott... For blessgs upon Carol her children. Share with God s people who are need. Practice hospitality. ~Romans 12:13 If have petitions would like cluded prayer tree, cludg birth announcements, illnesses deaths, please call Parish Office at 206324 2522 ext 100 or email rleet@stosephparish.org
