Good positions?

(copied from office of readings July 25 Feast of St. James)

From a homily on Matthew by Saint John Chrysostom, bishop
Sharers in the suffering of Christ
The sons of Zebedee press Christ: Promise that one may sit at your right side and the other at your left. What does he do? He wants to show them that it is not a spiritual gift for which they are asking, and that if they knew what their request involved, they would never dare make it. So he says: You do not know what you are asking, that is, what a great and splendid thing it is and how much beyond the reach even of the heavenly powers. Then he continues: Can you drink the cup which I must drink and be baptised with the baptism which I must undergo? He is saying: “You talk of sharing honours and rewards with me, but I must talk of struggle and toil. Now is not the time for rewards or the time for my glory to be revealed. Earthly life is the time for bloodshed, war and danger.”
Consider how by his manner of questioning he exhorts and draws them. He does not say: “Can you face being slaughtered? Can you shed your blood?” How does he put his question? Can you drink the cup? Then he makes it attractive by adding: which I must drink, so that the prospect of sharing it with him may make them more eager. He also calls his suffering a baptism, to show that it will effect a great cleansing of the entire world. The disciples answer him: We can! Fervour makes them answer promptly, though they really do not know what they are saying but still think they will receive what they ask for.
How does Christ reply? You will indeed drink my cup and be baptised with my baptism. He is really prophesying a great blessing for them, since he is telling them: “You will be found worthy of martyrdom; you will suffer what I suffer and end your life with a violent death, thus sharing all with me. But seats at my right and left are not mine to give; they belong to those for whom the Father has prepared them.” Thus, after lifting their minds to higher goals and preparing them to meet and overcome all that will make them desolate, he sets them straight on their request.
Then the other ten became angry at the two brothers. See how imperfect they all are: the two who tried to get ahead of the other ten, and the ten who were jealous of the two! But, as I said before, show them to me at a later date in their lives, and you will see that all these impulses and feelings have disappeared. Read how John, the very man who here asks for the first place, will always yield to Peter when it comes to preaching and performing miracles in the Acts of the Apostles. James, for his part, was not to live very much longer; for from the beginning he was inspired by great fervour and, setting aside all purely human goals, rose to such splendid heights that he straightway suffered martyrdom.

Enter the Narrow Gate

12th Wk Tue
Genesis 13:2, 5-18
Psalm 15:2-3a, 3bc-4ab, 5
Matthew 7:6, 12-14

Epicurus developed a philosophy of pleasure.It speaks of pleasure as the highest good. It is a valid question. Pleasure is what makes man happy and this becomes for him the driving force to his life. Choose pleasure and avoid pain. Why are we going to make our life sad?

This belief leads man to become antagonistic to faith. Faith is seen as "KJ" or kill joy to experiences. When we come to the cross of Christ, something is revealed. It tells us the fact of our lives. It speaks of sins. When sins become a pleasure, it leads to death. It is the true KJ. When we choose Jesus, taking up his cross, He leads us to life even eternal life.

Faith is not KJ to life's pleasures. It puts life's pleasures at its best. The cross is the way to God's joys. He inspires us to be good, to refuse evil, to be fair and to love. The gate may be narrow but the end is joy.

Trinity Sunday

Trinity: God who is love. The Father loves the Son and the love that abides them is the Holy Spirit.

1. WHO IS OUR GOD. Speaking of God does not only refer to a being outside us. A god for us is something precious to us. What takes our time, what is most pleasing to us, what occupies a large part of our heart and many others speak of "god" in our lives. It can be money, pleasure, fame, power and the like. Every person has something that he holds on to in his heart. Without it, he cannot stand. Trinity speaks of the face of God. It is not simply about numbers. It speaks of the nature of God. Trinity is not about numbers 1 in 3 and 3 in 1, etc. He is love becomes love takes three things: LOVER - Father; THE BELOVED - Jesus; and the LOVE - Holy Spirit. We may see a God of power or a God of love. Power dominates but love simply gives. Our three readings are very clear to us that our God is someone who simply love and give. He is not a God of power who dominates and conquers. So with our relationships, we may either dominate or simply give. Please take note that dominating is similar to getting. Give and not count the cost. People may be so unfair to us and hurt us, still, give.

2. THE WAY OF LOVE. [Story of Bp Tagle] There was a charity which feeds the poor and the needy every morning. A volunteer was assigned in preparing the bread. He was working so slow in toasting the bread that the first pair is already frozen hard after he finished the second set. A lady saw this and volunteered to donate her toasting machine. The superior refused and said she would not take such luxury. The superior asked the lady, "What time do you come here?" The lady answered, "5:30am." The superior answered,"if we have that machine you would come here 6:30am instead of 5:30am. We need you not the machine." We have substituted lots of things in exchange of love and failed to see the power of love.

3. GIVE OUR BEST. God is best because He loves. We give our best because we love. Please be careful not to make love cheap. I think that love is nowadays becomes too trivial (too cheap) when imprisoned in overyly romanticized matter. The best love still comes from Our Lord. Let us learn from Him and I believe our love will be the best.

The trinity is the God who comes to us. He is love.

Store Up Yourselves Treasure in Heaven

Matthew 6:19-23
http://usccb.org/nab/061711.shtml

One aspect of man's life is the claim for control. The thirst for things, pleasures, fame and power have traces of control. We try to gain these things especially of the passing ones in order for us to be in control or at least to stay in balance.

The Gospel offers us another kind of control. Jesus says

“The lamp of the body is the eye.
If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light;
but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness.
And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be."

Control begins with the eye, that is, I believe is our heart. We try to control things outside us but if it is not coming from the heart it would be in vain. Then that is not enough. The heart is to be directed to the treasure that does not decay. "Store up yourselves, treasure in heaven." This is precisely setting up our hearts to God. If we really want that kind of peace and satisfaction, we have to train our hearts in the treasures of heaven.

We may be so busy. We may have so many worries. We may have those successful career or business at the grip of our hands. Why not set our hearts to treasures in heaven? Taste and see the goodness of the Lord. The training begins with the prayer. It is nourished by the Eucharist. Formed and perfected by our experiences.

Come and see.
