Beyond Left and Right: Awaiting the Pope’s Next Encyclical. The tired categories of Left and Right, which we associate with Liberal (or Progressive) and Conservative, originated in the French Revolution, and have long outlived their usefulness. They are way too clunky to capture the complex political opinions that most of us make up as we go along, these days. Read more here on GodSpy.com

What do we do when those whom we love no longer share our faith, our deep values, and our morals? Suppose, to use a very common example, as a parent you have lost your own children in terms of practicing your faith. Your own children no longer go to church, no longer pray, no longer observe the church's rules (especially as these pertain to sex and marriage) and view your own faith practice as either a naiveté or a hypocrisy. You have argued with them, fought with them, and tried in very way to convince them, but to no avail. Eventually you arrive at the unhappy truce you live today: you practice and they don't. One of the deepest bonds of all between you has been broken. Moreover, you worry about them, living, at least so it seems, godless lives. What can you do? Obviously you can continue to pray and live out your own life according to your own convictions, hoping to challenge them with your life more than with your words. But you can do more. You can continue to love and forgive them and, insofar as they receive that love and forgiveness from you, they are receiving love and forgiveness from God. You are part of the Body of Christ and they are touching you. Within the incredibly mystery of the incarnation, you are doing what Jesus asks of us when he says: "Whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven."
If you are a member of the Body of Christ, when you forgive someone, he or she is forgiven, if you hold someone in love, he or she is held to the Body of Christ. To make this more concrete: If a child or a brother or a sister or a loved one of yours strays from the church in terms of faith practice and morality, as long as you continue to love that person, and hold him or her in union and forgiveness, he or she is touching the hem of the garment, is held to the Body of Christ, and is forgiven by God, irrespective of his or her official external relationship to the church and Christian morality. Your touch is Christ's touch. When you love someone, unless that someone actively rejects your love and forgiveness, she or he is sustained in salvation.
In the incarnation, God takes on human flesh in Jesus, in the Eucharist, and in all who are sincere in faith. The incredible graciousness, power and mercy that came into our world in Jesus is still, at least potentially so, in our world in us, the Body of Christ. What Jesus did we too can do; in fact, that is precisely what we are asked to do.

What a beautiful gift God gaves us: the ability to let Him bless the ones we love through us.

If I understand windsurfing correctly,
it is a question of skills and strength,
the discernment necessary to navigate the treacherous waters,
and the will to do it,
and throught it all
the love for doing it, again and again.
Yep. Just like the life of faith.

Why Catholics and Protestants Don't See Eye to Eye. Very interesting article on the different worldviews of Catholics and Protestants, based on their differences in faith, in living and understanding their faith. That's the first layer of the story. The main points of the article are interesting (analogical vs. linear) and the conclusion are very positive and encouraging (we should build bridges between us so we can better work together). But there is more than it first seemed. I realized the article was written by an ex Protestant who is now Catholic (Praise the Lord!) and right there you can see another layer appearing, you can see that he would have a personal reason for articulating the different faith traditions in such a reconciling manner. But there is more! There is an unusual twist to this situation because he is one of the exception to the rule, he is married (Anglican Priest can be married) and, after he had converted to the Catholic Church, he got a dispensation from the Church to become a Catholic Priest although he had a wife and family. I would say that this brings us to the deeper and more complex layers 3, 4 and 5 all at once! I am referring to the gift of celibacy, the primacy of our own judgment vs. holy obedience and the mystery of the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ, who chose to come to us as a male human, as a defenseless baby, as a loving son and a chaste man. But the Church in her wisdom knows when and how to welcome her exceptional children.
Here is his article: "Why Catholics and Protestants Don't See Eye to Eye" by Rev. Dwight Longenecker. "The two may share the same moral values, but they will do so for different reasons. They may share the same essential beliefs, but they will see them from different perspectives". Read more here. Maybe I'll write him a letter, I have some questions that I would love to ask him, like: when did you first realize that you wanted to enter into the Catholic Church? What was the biggest stumbling block for you before this? What helped you understand that the fullness of the revelation is only in the Catholic Church and how can we offer this to our Protestant brothers and sisters? He really stands in a unique position to be a real bridge, a true peacemaker. I am going to pray for him.

God does not call the "equipped", God equips the "called"...

What constitutes a church? Is it like-minded individuals, gathering on the basis of mutual compatibility? This is a very common misunderstanding, but gathering as church has little or nothing to do with liking each other or finding others with whom we are mutually compatible. The group of disciples that first gathered around Jesus were not individuals who were mutually compatible at all. They came from very different backgrounds and temperaments, had different visions of what Jesus was all about, were jealous of each other, and were, as scripture tells us, occasionally furious with each other. They loved each other, in the biblical meaning of that phrase, but they did not necessarily like each other. Too often, we are disappointed in church because we find there such a diverse and motley collection of persons, some of whom do not like us and whom we would never pick to be our friends. We got to church looking for friendship or ideological soul-mates and, often, do not find them. This does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the church, merely that we have false expectations. To be in apostolic community, church, is not necessarily to be with others with whom we are emotionally, ideologically, and other-wise compatible. Rather, it is to stand, shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand, with them, hear a common word, say a common creed, share a common bread, and offer a mutual forgiveness so as, in that way, to bridge our differences and become one common heart. Church is not about a few like-minded persons getting together for mutual support, it is about millions and millions of different kinds of persons transcending their differences so as to become a community. (Ronald Rolheiser, the Holy Longing).

FAITH AND POLITICAL POWER. The third temptation. Its true content becomes apparent when we realize that throughout history it is constantly taking on new forms. The Christian empire attempted at an early stage to use the faith in order to cement political unity. The Kingdom of Christ was now expected to take the form of a political kingdom and its splendor. The powerlessness of faith, the earthly powerlessness of Jesus Christ, was to be given the helping hand of political and military might. This temptation to use power to secure the faith has arisen again and again in varied forms throughout the centuries, and again and again faith has risked being suffocated in the embrace of power. The struggle for the freedom of the Church, the struggle to avoid identifying Jesus' Kingdom with any political structure is one that has to be fought century after century. For the fusion of faith and political power always comes at a price: faith becomes the servant of power and must bend to its criteria.
"Jesus of Nazareth" , by Pope Benedict XVI, chapter 2 p 40

‘The Father of the World’—The Pope at the U.N. "To the delegates and staff whom he addressed, his words were a reminder of, or for some, an education in why they were working at the UN in the first place. This is why the UN exists; this is what all the juridical and bureaucratic structures are meant to serve: the integral human person with an intrinsic dignity rooted in the transcendent, and the common good.” Read the whole article on "the father the world" here on Godspy.com

In an effort to establish a bridge, Pope Benedict uses the angle of wisdom and reason (here again, one more time) when articulating his worldview to the people who might (or might not) be un-believers, knowing that believers will be inspired too (as, hopefully, they should). He is very good at doing this type of gentle, intelligent and reasonable invitation, and he is going to do it again and again, as long as it takes, because that is what it is, an invitation and one should never tired of extending a hand to the other in front of us.
Here are my favorite passages from Pope Benedict XVI address to the UN:
The founding principles of the Organization - the desire for peace, the quest for justice, respect for the dignity of the person, humanitarian cooperation and assistance - express the just aspirations of the human spirit, and constitute the ideals which should underpin international relations. As my predecessors Paul VI and John Paul II have observed from this very podium, all this is something that the Catholic Church and the Holy See follow attentively and with interest, seeing in your activity an example of how issues and conflicts concerning the world community can be subject to common regulation. This is all the more necessary at a time when we experience the obvious paradox of a multilateral consensus that continues to be in crisis because it is still subordinated to the decisions of a few … The action of the international community and its institutions, provided that it respects the principles undergirding the international order, should never be interpreted as an unwarranted imposition or a limitation of sovereignty. On the contrary, it is indifference or failure to intervene that do the real damage.… The promotion of human rights remains the most effective strategy for eliminating inequalities between countries and social groups, and for increasing security. Indeed, the victims of hardship and despair, whose human dignity is violated with impunity, become easy prey to the call to violence.

Left picture: Pope Benedict XVI reading the letter he wrote to the American people prior to his arrival.
Right picture: A week later, toward the end of his visit, he is kneeling down and praying at Ground Zero.
And in between these 2 pictures, a short week of blessed moments, some visible and
many more invisible for now, where the seeds of the truth and goodness of Christ have been planted,
all over the Northern East coast of the US first, then all over the world by repercussion,
seeds of healing and inspiration, re-direction and motivation.

The special Web site (uspapalvisit.org) created by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for Pope Benedict XVI’s April 15-20 visit to the United States will live stream the events. See a video of Pope Benedict XVI addressing the people of the US in English (for the most part). It is very moving to hear his voice, his accent. There is a certain physical frailty which comes through in the video which I had not realized just by looking at pictures. He is 81 years old! But his ability at multi language shows clearly and most of all, his gentleness, his steadfastness and his clarity of intention: he is here to deliver a message, to gather us around him, to witness and to lead; he is a great teacher, he is our spiritual leader, he is the Pope! And God has blessed us with terrific leaders in our recent history of the Church. This is definitively a blessed moment in time. First for DC and NY, but then for all of us watching and listening, paying attention and praying too. How I wish I could be there... But I'll pray that his vist be most fruitful for all of us, believers and seekers, traditional or progressive, may this be a window of opportunity to come one step closer and put into practice the commandment of loving God and loving our neighbor. See the video here.

Since I can't be there on the East Coast, I will follow him by prayers:
Each day: Pray the Act of Hope for the intentions of the Holy Father (for April, Pope Benedict's intentions are that Christians may not tire of proclaiming with their lives that Christ's resurrection is the source of hope and peace and that the future priests of the young Churches may be formed to evangelize their nations and the whole world)
Act of Hope: O Lord God, I hope by your grace for the pardon of all my sins and after life here to gain eternal happiness because you have promised it who are infinitely powerful, faithful, kind, and merciful. In this hope I intend to live and die. Amen.
Make a holy hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament each day of the Holy Father's visit.
On April 16, pray for the bishops of the United States and all leaders of the Church.
On April 17, pray for all those charged with educating children and forming faith,
    especially parents, teachers, and catechists.
On April 18, pray for world leaders and all who work for justice and peace.
On April 19, pray for young people and for an increase in vocations.
On April 20, pray for the Church in the United States.
(the following recommendation for prayers were found on the uspapalvisit site here. It is absolutely wonderful to be able to be united in prayers! And I put the French version of the Act of Hope in the French column, on the other side.

Thomas Merton. All nature is meant to make us think of paradise. Woods, fields, valleys, hills, the river and the sea, the clouds travelling across the sky, light and darkness, sun and stars, remind us that the world was first created as a paradise for the first Adam, and that in spite of his sin and ours, it will once again become a paradise when we are all risen from death in the second Adam.

On the day of the passage of the Olympic Torch in my City, I went to PacBell Park and I took a few pictures but I never got to see the Torch itself since it was doing its little disappearing act - but I took a stand for freedom and justice.

When created minds do see God's substance, the very substance of God himself forms their understanding, but then something more than their nature is needed to predispose them to such sublimity: what we call a light of glory. The brightness of God will illuminate her, namely the community of those who see God. The function of this created light is not to make God's substance understandable (that it is of itself) but to strengthen our understanding in the way skills and other dispositions strengthen our ability to do things. It is not a medium through which God is seen but something enabling us to see him immediately…. The light makes the creature like God. The more such light there is in the mind, the more perfectly the mind sees God. And those who have the greater love have the more light. Greater love causes greater desire and desire is in itself a predisposition making man fit to receive what he desires. So those who love more will see God more perfectly and be more blessed. (P 28 Summa Theologiae, Saint Thomas Aquinas. A concise translation, edited by Timothy McDermott).

"Everyday"

Everyday is a day of possibilities
To explore and to use the opportunies
Of this day, this today of our lives
To be a light shining upon another's pathway.

Probably the word most often used in the contemporary scene is the word freedom. If the sick talk most about health, because health is endangered, may it be that the modern talk about freedom means that we are in danger of losing it? It is indeed possible while we fight to keep our enemies from binding chains to our feet, we become our own enemy by binding chains to our souls. What I am trying to say is there are two kinds of freedom; a freedom from something and a freedom for something. An external freedom from restraints and an internal freedom of perfection, a freedom to choose evil and a freedom to possess the good. This inner freedom the typical modern man does not want because it implies responsibility and therefore is a burden. Freedom is ours to give away. Each of us reveals what we believe to be the purpose of life by the way we use that freedom.
"Father into you hands I commend my spirit." Surrender! Consecration. Life is a cycle.
We come from God and we go back again to God. Hence the purpose of living is to do God's will. At the marriage feast of Cana, Mary said: "Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye." Both the last recorded word of Jesus and the last recorded word of Mary were words of surrender: Jesus surrendered himself to the Father; Mary asked us to surrender ourselves to the Son. This is the law of the universe: "For all are yours; and you are Christ's. And Christ is God's" (1 Cor 3:22-23).

‘Deliver us, Lord, from the fear of the enemy.' Dorothy Day often quoted the Psalms. In January of 1967 she said in The Catholic Worker, “‘Deliver us, Lord from the fear of the enemy.' That is one of the lines in the Psalms, and we are not asking God to deliver us from enemies, but from the fear of them. Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.” (Found in the Houston Catholic Worker here

ROME, le 13 mai 2008. le Code de droit canon. Le Concile Vatican II n’a pas été le seul moment décisif de l’histoire de l’Eglise catholique au XXe siècle. Un autre tournant important a eu lieu un demi-siècle auparavant, avec le pontificat de Pie X. C’est ce qui ressort d’un imposant essai en deux volumes qui vient de sortir en Italie, sous le titre “Chiesa romana e modernità giuridica“. Ecrit par un expert très connu en droit ecclésiastique, Carlo Fantappiè. Il est consacré à une entreprise grandiose du pape Giuseppe Sarto, le nouveau Code de droit canon. On retient de Pie X sa bataille acharnée contre les catholiques “modernistes“. On le décrit généralement comme le pape de la restauration et des anathèmes. Cela n’a pas été le cas. De nouvelles études examinent ce pontificat sous une lumière nouvelle, beaucoup plus constructive et innovatrice. Sa célèbre encyclique “Pascendi Dominici Gregis“ contre les modernistes, par exemple, dont on a fêté le centenaire en 2007, a abordé avec prévoyance des sujets qui sont encore d’actualité et centraux dans la vie de l’Eglise…
Avec près de 1 300 pages réparties sur deux volumes, c’est une œuvre vraiment imposante. L’auteur y démontre que le Code de droit canon voulu par Pie X et promulgué par Benoît XV en 1917 a été beaucoup plus qu’un travail technique de restructuration et de simplification de normes juridiques. Il s’agit en réalité d’une réflexion profonde sur le passé, le présent et l’avenir de l’Eglise de Rome. Elle s’inscrivait dans un projet de réforme de l’Eglise, le droit étant à cet égard un moyen et non une fin. Lire ici sur le site chiesa.espresso l'article par Sandro Magister.

L'Ascension : "Vous serez mes témoins jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre" Agir dans la société est en effet indispensable. Mais en cohérence avec la démarche chrétienne : des chrétiens qui tourneraient en rond dans leurs griefs et doléances, criant au scandale quand on les contredit (voire quand on les diffame), ce serait anti-évangélique. Ce serait vouloir supprimer les contradictions et rêver d’une société « favorable » : une société dont la pression sociologique s’exercerait en faveur des chrétiens plutôt qu’à leur détriment. Cette société « favorable » serait une machine à trahir l’évangile. Alors qu’une société hostile est une pépinière de saints. Lire plus ici.

Un pari pour la joie: l'Arche de Jean Vanier. Vanier était personnellement frappé par les qualités de ceux qu'il s'était senti appelé a aider. Il était frappé aussi de les voir en transformer d'autres venus travailler avec lui. Il semble que proportionnellement aux limites de leur capacité de raisonnement, ces gens soient riches en dons de cœur. Ces dons du cœur sont précisément ce dont a tant besoin une société technique qui devient de plus en plus dure. La vision de Vanier est passée du souci de ce que la société pouvait faire pour les handicapés au souci de ce que les handicapés peuvent faire pour la société.

NOUVEAUX DANGERS POUR LA FOI. Question : En lien avec la perte de sens du christianisme dans une société sécularisée, vous avez évoqué un tout nouveau danger pour la foi encore totalement sous-estimé : la possibilité d'une subtile dictature de l'opinion antichrétienne. Réponse : Je crois que c'est un vrai danger. Ce n'est pas qu'on persécute publiquement les chrétiens : ce serait vieux jeu et inconvénient. Non, on est tout a fait tolérant et naturellement ouvert a tout. Mais il y a des choses sur lesquelles on est d'autant plus catégorique et qui sont exclues, et qui sont alors cataloguées de fondamentalistes même la ou il peut s'agir de foi authentique. Je pense qu'on peut arriver a une situation ou la résistance doit s'organiser, face a la dictature d'une tolérance qui n'est qu'apparente et qui met hors circuit le scandale de la foi en la déclarant intolérante. Ici apparaît vraiment au grand jour l'intolérance des " tolérants ".

Le Petit Prince et le renard.
- Les hommes, dit le renard, ils ont des fusils et ils chassent. C'est bien gênant ! Ils élèvent aussi des poules. C'est leur seul intérêt. Tu cherches des poules ?
- Non, dit le petit prince. Je cherche des amis. Qu'est-ce que signifie apprivoiser ?
- C'est une chose trop oubliée, dit le renard. Ça signifie créer des liens…
- Créer des liens ?
- Bien sûr, dit le renard. Tu n'es encore pour moi qu'un petit garçon tout semblable à cent mille petits garçons. Et je n'ai pas besoin de toi. Et tu n'as pas besoin de moi non plus. Je ne suis pour toi qu'un renard semblable à cent mille renards. Mais, si tu m'apprivoises, nous aurons besoin l'un de l'autre. Tu seras pour moi unique au monde. Je serai pour toi unique au monde…
- Je commence à comprendre, dit le petit prince. Il y a une fleur… je crois qu'elle m'a apprivoisé…

Mes passages préférés du discours du Pape à l'ONU: Les principes fondateurs de l'Organisation - le désir de paix, le sens de la justice, le respect de la dignité de la personne, la coopération et l'assistance humanitaires - sont l'expression des justes aspirations de l'esprit humain et constituent les idéaux qui devraient sous-tendre les relations internationales. Comme mes prédécesseurs Paul VI et Jean-Paul II l'ont affirmé depuis cette même tribune, tout cela fait partie de réalités que l'Église catholique et le Saint-Siège considèrent avec attention et intérêt, voyant dans votre activité un exemple de la manière dont les problèmes et les conflits qui concernent la communauté mondiale peuvent bénéficier d'une régulation commune. Cela est d'autant plus nécessaire dans le contexte actuel où l'on fait l'expérience du paradoxe évident d'un consensus multilatéral qui continue à être en crise parce qu'il est encore subordonné aux décisions d'un petit nombre … L'action de la communauté internationale et de ses institutions, dans la mesure où elle est respectueuse des principes qui fondent l'ordre international, ne devrait jamais être interprétée comme une coercition injustifiée ou comme une limitation de la souveraineté. À l'inverse, c'est l'indifférence ou la non-intervention qui causent de réels dommages.… La promotion des droits de l'homme demeure la stratégie la plus efficace quand il s'agit de combler les inégalités entre des pays et des groupes sociaux, quand il s'agit aussi de renforcer la sécurité. En effet les victimes de la misère et du désespoir dont la dignité humaine est impunément violée, deviennent des proies faciles pour les tenants du recours à la violence.
