  Sirach 45:1-5: The Old and the New

  Wednesday, November 26, 2025

  Written on January 18 and posted today as a Favorite . . .

  

  “Moses manifested God’s power through miracles, God’s authority through the promulgation of the commandments and the law, and God’s mercy through the intimacy granted him by the Lord for his own faithfulness and meekness. The very personification of the old covenant, Moses was also a type of Christ, the Prophet and Legislator of the new.  God’s honor devolved upon him: Moses was actually God’s substitute in dealing with Pharaoh, hence God entrusted his own honor to Moses”. (Senior 867-868)

  Power, authority, mercy, intimacy, faithfulness and meekness. Here is a valuable lesson for us.

  The sort of meekness that is the gracious humility shown by Christ is also the meekness that Moses demonstrated. This meekness leads to faithfulness.

  

  The sort of faithfulness that is constant and intentional is the fidelity shown by Christ to the father and to his flock. This faithfulness leads to intimacy.

  The sort of intimacy that shares and does not control is lived by Christ in every story we read about him. This intimacy leads to mercy.

  The sort of mercy that is compassion is personified by Christ. This mercy leads to authority.

  The sort of authority vested in Christ is the same authority we are granted when we follow Christ. This authority leads to power.

  This power is everlasting. It comes from the father, is explained to us by the prophets, and is lived for us by Christ.

  Moses is a personification of the Old Covenant, Jesus is the New. God entrusts Christ’s honor to those who are meek, merciful and in intimate relationship with him.

  Here is a valuable lesson for us.  Let us take it in today, and let us ponder it.

• Psalm 89: Steadfast Love

  
  

  Psalm 89: Steadfast Love

  Saturday, October 4, 2025

  Written on March 7 and posted today as a Favorite . . .

  Righteousness, justice, faithfulness and steadfast love – these are the tenets of God’s covenant with David and we see steadfast love repeated in this song. This puts me in mind of Paul’s beautiful anthem to love in 1 Corinthians: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know it in part and we prophecy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfection disappears. When I was a child I talked like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

  The Mosaic Law has many parts and multiple nuances. The Law that Christ brings, the Law of Love, is but one that supersedes all others; this one law is the perfection of love as we see it lived by Jesus.

  In today’s Psalm we see the “creative work of God as a defeat of the powers of chaos.”  The references to the north and south signify the entire whole universe. The great height of mounts Tabor and Hermon imply God’s might and omniscience. Steadfast love and faithfulness are “personified here as companions or servants who lead the way of the Lord.” Festal shouts describe the joy of the people. We may be taunted from time to time that God has abandoned us as is the king in this psalm, but we know that it is impossible for God to abandon his creatures. This hymn of praise to the creator himself helps to put us in proper relationship to God; and it reminds us of God’s most salient characteristic that God is steadfast love.  (Mays 883-885)

  In today’s Gospel from Mark (12:1-12) Jesus reminds us that although he is the cornerstone rejected by builders he will remain faithful and constant. He tells the parable of the farmer who erects a vineyard and wine press and leaves it with tenants to go on a journey. When the master wishes to collect what is due him, his servants and even his son are rejected and even put to death. So too are those who follow Christ; but we are to remain steadfast just as God is steadfast. We are to remain in love, just as Christ remains in love. And we are to sing of God’s steadfast love and proclaim God’s faithfulness to the generations. For this faithfulness is as firm as the heavens. There is no other cornerstone that holds up the heavens and stands firm on the earth. There is no other cornerstone on which to build our faith.

• Deuteronomy 4:1-8: The Advantages of Fidelity

  
  

  Deuteronomy 4:1-8: The Advantages of Fidelity

  Monday, August 21, 2023

  For what great nation is it that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call?

  Last week we celebrated the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, the mother of Jesus.  She is considered by most to be the first Apostle of Christ when she proclaimed the Magnificat which we hear in Luke 1:46-55.  With the giving of her fiat, her statement to God that his will be done in her, the completion of the world’s salvation is assured.

  For what great nation is it that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call?

  We reflect on our willingness to believe that God accomplishes all that he promises and we realize that sometimes we have difficulty believing that God actually walks among us.

  For what great nation is it that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call?

  When we consider the message of this portion of Deuteronomy we also think about the enormity of all that is promised to us in the covenant, that we might be sisters and brothers in and of Christ.

  For what great nation is it that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call?

  Fidelity is a quality found infrequently in our society in which some of us change friends and intimacy as often as we change shoes. The fidelity we see in the young girl Mary is astounding when we consider the usual consequence of stoning to death for a girl who conceives without being married. The fidelity we hear about in the covenant entered into by Abraham, mediated by Moses, and brought to fruition through Mary is something too great and too wonderful to be believed and yet the benefits are so abundant to us that we cannot take in their enormity.

  For what great nation is it that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call?

  Calling on God is something that some of us do too seldom. God wants nothing more than to help, to heal, to transform and to keep the promises he has made. God accompanies us in our journey and rejoices when we ask for help, celebrates when we return home, and sings with joy when we remind others of how much we are loved by God.

  For what great nation is it that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call?

  God’s story is almost too wonderful to tell. It is certainly too wonderful to be believed and yet we are assured daily of God’s presence. Let us delight in the promise of great reward for fidelity.

  For what great nation is it that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call?

  Our God is a faithful and patient, forgiving and just God. Our God moves among us, keeping promises God makes. Our God awaits our call.

• 1 Maccabees 2: God’s Yardstick – Mattathias

  
  

  1 Maccabees 2: God’s Yardstick – Mattathias

  Generations of Fidelity

  

  Tuesday, January 24, 2023

  We continue to see God’s yardstick in the Old and New Testaments.

  Mattathias laments that he lives in an age when centuries of fidelity fade into corruption: Woe is me! Why was I born to see the ruin of my people, the ruin of the holy city? We might well ask this question in any age and in any place. It seems that the human condition is to succumb to the temptation of the call of false teaching and self-promotion. Fraud replaces fidelity; dishonesty becomes truth; disgrace and honor trade places. But Mattathias calls on his sons to remember their lineage as beloved children of Yahweh. Falling back on their relationship with God, this ancestry is characterized by strong men who consistently rely on qualities that nourish truth and light. These forbears trust God alone, and they serve as a measuring stick for our own behavior in turbulent times.

  Remember the deeds that our ancestors did in their times, and you shall win great honor and an everlasting name.

  Abraham, faithful in trial, fills with righteousness. Joseph keeps the commandment, despite distress, to become master of Egypt. Phinehas, for his burning zeal, receives the covenant of an everlasting priesthood. Joshua executes his commission to become a judge in Israel. Caleb bears witness before the assembly and receives an inheritance in the land. David, known for his loyalty, receives as heritage a throne of eternal kingship. Elijah, full of burning zeal for the law, is taken into heaven. For their faith, Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael are saved from the fire. Innocent Daniel is delivered from the mouths of lions. (verses 51-60)

  We might pause with these verses 61-63 in particular.

  And so, consider this from generation to generation,
      that none who hope in Heaven shall fail in strength.

  Do not fear the words of sinners,
      for their glory ends in corruption and worms.

  Today exalted, tomorrow not to be found,
      they have returned to dust,
      their schemes have perished.

  When we spend time reflecting on these verses today, we see how this pedigree inspired Mattathias and his sons to defend the kingdom whose loss they lament. Like Mattathias, we might also allow ourselves to see the measure of God’s love in our own spiritual family tree. Let us place our hope in heaven so that whatever our circumstances require of us . . . we do not fail in strength.

  Tomorrow, Joseph.

• Romans: Salvation at Last

  
  

  Romans: Salvation at Last

  

  Holy Saturday, April 16, 2022 

  We have traveled through the closing chapters of Jeremiah’s prophecy and we have examined his words of wisdom and patience. God’s plan happens in God’s time at God’s pace. We have probed history and seen how God’s grace and providence turn all harm into good. The Spirit’s love is inscrutable and makes all things possible. We have journeyed from despair to hope, from hate to love. Jesus’ power knows no limit, plumbs all depths, reaches all heights.

  The awful tragedy of Jesus’ crucifixion has taken place and today we shelter and wait for the promised hope of resurrection and redemption. Today we pause to consider Paul’s letter to the Romans. We pause to consider our own faith.

  I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 8:38-39)

  Paul knew this well as he was a student of scripture and he understood the prophecy of Daniel: The faithful do not need to fight; they only need refuse to allow anything to separate them from God.  He met and knew the risen Jesus; he saw who he is: The Son of Man whose arrival was predicted by Daniel.

  Paul also knew Psalm 27 which speaks to us of the freedom from fear, the power of the Holy One which protects each and all from the forces of darkness: The Lord is my light and my help; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life; before whom shall I shrink?  When evil-doers draw near to devour my flesh, it is they, my enemies and foes, who stumble and fall . . . Hope in him, hold firm and take heart.  Hope in the Lord!

  Admitting that this letter might be used to argue for anti-semitism and homophobia, we might better see that Paul is calling us to faithfulness, righteousness and reconciliation.  Homosexuality was feared in the ancient world as it was seen as behavior outside of God’s call to reproduce.  If Paul were among us today with our knowledge of science and how our sexuality is determined, he would likely see fear of this group of people as one more divide to be crossed.  We can also read commentary that blames this letter for fomenting anger against the Jewish people.  Today, scholars are re-thinking these old opinions to put Romans in its original light: an explanation to gentiles of how the Jesus movement was not pure Judaism and how it had, in fact, been rejected by many Jewish people as a sect of their own religious practices.

  This letter, therefore, is important because it tells us this: We are created to worship God. To this we must be faithful. In this we are saved. Through this we come to union with all creation. Paul speaks about resolving internal conflicts and sensitivity to other cultures (chapters 13-15). He writes of God’s providence and love (chapter 8). He tells us of our salvation (chapters 3-5).

  If we are asked to point to one Book in scripture which tells us what faith is, how it operates, and why it is important, we might look to Romans.  When doubt comes calling at the door, we would do well to pick up the words which begin this reflection . . . and read them carefully; that nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. God loves us this much. This we must believe.

  Paul writes to the Romans and he writes to us. As we wait for the promise and joy of Easter that this evening’s vigil brings, we might do well to spend time with this letter today.

• Ezekiel 33: Fidelity of the Sentinel

  
  

  Tuesday, September 7, 2021

  Ezekiel 33

  Fidelity of the Sentinel

  In ancient societies the role of the watchman was seminal; city-states and even towns relied on watch towers and wakeful sentinels to warn their community of impending danger. Today we have replaced this watchfulness with electronic stealth weapons that often divide us about their necessity or efficacy. With today’s Noontime, we might learn something about our human need to be alert so as to survive. We might also learn something about our own fidelity to God.

  Although Israel has already been sent into exile, Ezekiel warns his people of continuing disaster and, as we have seen with Jeremiah, the community’s response to his warning is lukewarm. This was a people skilled in the art of denial and enabling. It seems that God’s prophets, or sentinels, nearly always receive a tepid response; but this does not deter them from speaking. Today our modern prophets, like those of old, continue to call out to us about the importance of hearing the warning from the sentinels we ourselves have posted. They also call on us to be faithful to God in our response to the warning call.

  My parents often reminded us that what hurts the individual also hurts the group. They also admitted that sometimes as parents it is difficult to discern when love is nurturing and when it is enabling. Tough love is a term that was coined in the late 1960s by Bill Milliken to describe how families and institutions must intervene in addicted behaviors and cycles. Too often we are swayed by our fear of rejection by an individual or group to gently yet firmly interact with others in loving sternness.  And this is what God is saying to Ezekiel and Jeremiah. I have appointed you watchman of the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me.

  When we hear the sentinel warning, we know that it is the hour to pause and reflect as individuals and as communities about the message of that call. We are obliged to listen to other voices, to pray with other hearts, and to share with other minds the meaning of the warning. And we must remain faithful to God’s call as do the prophets. Although the tide of many be against us, we must persist in developing our willingness to step out of all that is comfortable to remain faithful in our relationship with the creator God.  For after all, the end of this story is good news. The end of this story is restoration and resurrection. The end of this story is about our preparedness to receive the blessing that is already ours.

• 1 Samuel 12: Judging

  
  

  Saturday, June 26, 2021

  1 Samuel 12

  Judging         

  Yesterday we contemplated how we might refrain from judging one another. Today we reflect on how we might judge as God judges.

  Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 4:3-5. Here I am; testify against me before the Lord . . . It does not concern me in the least that I be judged by you or any human tribunal . . .

  What we read today is how to “fear” the Lord, how to stand in awe of God before all else and before anyone else. Only God is God. Only God matters. God alone is enough, says Teresa of Ávila.

  The Liturgy of the Hours prayers and Mass readings often reflect this theme.

  Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful . . . Whoever exalts himself will be humbled . . . Whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

  Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.

  Pride sets subtle snares. Whenever we imagine that we are in control of life – our own or someone else’s – we have fallen prey to the ancient whisper in the Garden: “You shall be like gods”. Mortality is the enduring reminder that we become like God not only by our own power but by the power of the cross. (MAGNIFICAT, 304)

  We have a number of reminders today: No one’s but God’s opinion matters; we do not need to strive to be gods for we are children of God; we behave divinely when we humble ourselves just as Jesus does; our happiness comes after and through our suffering; pride is deceptive and alluring.

  In his farewell speech, Samuel challenges his audience to judge him or to find fault with his conduct. Paul tells us that he does not care at all about who judges him or how. The one who judges me is the Lord. Of course, we can take these views to the extreme and pretend that we can do as we like and that we do not have to conform to any civil rules or social mores. This would be an extreme and unreasonable position to hold for even Jesus tells us to render Caesar’s business unto Caesar. The words we read today help us with the most important part of our being . . . our spiritual self. These words today help us to focus properly on what is vital to us and significant in our lives: our relationship with God.

  Fortunately for us God is merciful and forgiving. Blessedly for us God loves us and is waiting for us to turn to him. God waits for us graciously and compassionately. Let us accept God’s gift with humility. Let us take the lowest seat at the table so that we might stand before God and others to declare our faithfulness to God in confidence and love.

• Psalm 92: A Hymn of Thanksgiving for God’s Fidelity

  
  

  Monday, November 23, 2020

  Psalm 92

  A Hymn of Thanksgiving for God’s Fidelity

  Fidelity: faithfulness, loyalty, patience, understanding, questioning and answering, dialog, forbearance, union, love.

  From St. Joseph Edition of The Psalms notes: This is a didactic psalm, that is, both a praise of the Lord and an instruction of the faithful. The psalmist meditates on God’s way of acting.  His love and faithfulness are reflected in everything he does, but they must be comprehended. Ultimately the happiness of the wicked will fade like seasonal grass, whereas the lot of the righteous will be like the great trees whose roots are planted on solid ground. For the latter, new seasons are promised in the courts of God. God’s joy is like a new spring in the life of believers.

  Again our theme of renewal. Again the idea that a righteous life is more difficult to live than a wicked one, but that true serenity and joy is found by struggling to live a life of justice.

  I like the point in the citation above that God’s acts are a demonstration of his love and fidelity and that we must strive to comprehend this idea . . . an idea which is so difficult for so many humans . . . because fidelity is such a demanding quality . . . and we humans appear to be much too fickle and willful to comprehend its depth and true meaning.

  Each day as we go through each hour, how do we as God’s creatures express God’s fidelity? How do we express God’s love? Are we faithful when it is convenient or when we have the time or energy? Do we love those who please us most? We recall Paul’s words to Timothy: I remember you constantly in prayers, night and day.  I yearn to see you again, recalling your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, as I recall your sincere faith . . .  (2 Timothy 1:3-4) This is the same letter in which Paul states that he is already poured out like a libation and there are times when we feel this pouring out rather than gratitude. But when we look at verse 3 of this psalm we see again the idea of loving God faithfully by praying day and night. And when we are spent . . . we might at least raise eyes and hands to heaven to thank God, and to ask that God lighten our load.

  Prayer and petition are important as we near and enter into Advent, even when we feel spent. When we come to the end of an exhausting day, we can light one small candle in the darkness which comes so quickly at this time of year in our northern hemisphere, and we can repeat the antiphon we find as part of the Liturgy of the Hours Night Prayer: Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake; watch over as we sleep, that awake, we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in his peace, alleluia.

  With this simple act and prayer we might remain faithful . . . even though we are spent. And so we pray . . .

  We know that you watch over us, O Lord.  Grace us with the patience and perseverance to keep hopeful watch with you . . . as faithfully as you keep wonder-filled watch with us.  We ask this in Jesus’ name, together with the Holy Spirit. Amen.

• 2 Corinthians 6:1-10: An Acceptable Time

  
  

  Friday, June 19, 2020

  2 Corinthians 6:1-10

  An Acceptable Time

  “A series of seven rhetorically effective antitheses, contrasting negative external impressions with positive inner reality. Paul perceives his existence as a reflection of Jesus’ own and affirms an inner reversal that escapes outward observation.  The final two members illustrate two distinct kinds of paradox or apparent contradiction that are characteristic of apostolic experience”.  (Senior cf. 283)

  We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful . . . and so as disciples of Christ we must become accustomed to the world’s unbelief.

  As unrecognized and yet acknowledged . . . and so as followers of Christ we must become comfortable with rejection.

  As dying and behold we live . . . and so as members of the remnant we find that dying so that we might live a normal daily act.  

  As chastised and yet not put to death . . . and so as apostles of the Living God we become accustomed to the scorn of others.

  As sorrowful yet always rejoicing . . . and so as sisters and brothers of Christ who take up our cross daily we are assured that our mourning is turned into dancing.

  As poor yet enriching many . . . and so as disciples sent into the world in twos we know that we need not take a purse or sandals for the journey.

  As having nothing and yet possessing all things . . . and so as children of God we are gladdened by the knowledge that we lack for nothing when we hold only Christ, that we rise in new life when we forfeit the old, and that we are loved beyond imagining by the One who rescues us in an acceptable time.

  But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord.
      At an acceptable time, O God,
      in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.  (Psalm 69:13)

  For this and for all God’s goodness we give thanks as we sing of God’s loving fidelity, justice and mercy.   Amen.
