No one is saved alone, as an isolated
individual, but God attracts us
looking at the complex web of relationships that take place in the human community.
God enters into this dynamic, this participation
in the web of human relationships.
-Pope Francis, 2013

Seattle, Veni ForasOne of the great miracles in the Gospels involves a man who is gifted by Jesus with a novel opportunity: Lazarus, raised by God’s grace, is given a new life and a secondchance to serve the Lord. While the Scriptures are silent about Lazarus’ second life, he stands out in the gospel as a believer who was well loved by family and friends, and even by Jesus (John 11:1-3). The powerful and grace-filled presence of Jesus in his life opens up new possibilities and horizons, alters the very trajectory of his existence, and heralds a fresh and entirely unexpected opening to an unimaginable future. And it all began as Jesus looked heavenward and cried out, “Lazarus, come forth” (John 11:43).
In this Christ in the Classroom (CIC) retreat, we come together as a com- munity of faithful disciples. Already deeply anchored in the Great Mysteries of the Faith, we seek to strengthen the bonds that unite us. We share a com- mon faith and mission, and look to im- merse ourselves in thoughtful ways into the grace that always and everywhere already surrounds us. We turn our attention once again to those abiding mysteries that animate our faith, but we come with more knowledge, richer ex- perience, and shared wisdom. Through Scripture, song, reflection, art, silence, and worship, we seek new possibilities and new horizons for our spiritual lives and for those of the communities we serve.
It is the same powerful grace of God who gave Lazarus new life calling to us now, “Seattle, come forth!”

THE GREAT MYSTERIES:A SEQUEL - SEATTLE, VENI FORAS
An Introduction to the Great Mysteries of the Faith:
Notes:
THE MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION
Reflection prompt:
On the one hand [Mary] was just a girl, an immature and frightened girl who had the good sense to believe what an angel told her in what seemed like a dream. On the other hand, she was the mother of the Son of God, with faith enough to move mountains, to sing about the victories of her son as if he were already at the right hand of his father instead of a dollop of cells in her womb. She was not like us. She waslike us. She just wanted to thank God for visiting her, but she ending up bearing his son. She just wanted to be blessed in a small way, but she ended up changing the future of the world. She just wanted to sing a happy son, but she ended up singing revolution, singing the Lord’s own upheaval and tumult. She was not like us. She was like us. When we al- low God to be born in us, there is no telling, no telling at all, what will come out.
— Barbara Brown Taylor, Mixed Blessings

THE MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY
Reflection prompt:
The advantage of believing in the reality of the Trinity is not that we get an A from God for giving “the right answer.” Remember, to believe something is to act as if it is so. To believe that two plus two equals four is to behave accordingly when trying to find out how many dollars or apples are in the house. The advantage of believing it is not that we can pass tests in arithmetic; it is that we can deal much more success- fully with reality. Just try dealing with it as if two plus two equaled six.Hence, the advantage of believing in the Trinity is that we then live as if the Trinity is real: as if the cosmos environing us actually is, be-yond all else, a self-sufficing community of unspeakable, magnificent, personal beings of boundless love, knowledge, and power. And, thus believing, our lives naturally integrate themselves, through our actions, into the reality of such a universe, just as with two plus two equals four. In faith we rest ourselves upon the reality of the Trinity in action—and it graciously meets us. For it is there. And our lives are then enmeshed in the true world of God. —Dallas Willard, in The Divine Conspiracy

THE PASCHAL MYSTERYReflection prompt:
It’s cruel to talk about death, but it’s crueler still not to. Adult life is not child’s life. As adults, we are asked to die and, like Christ, we sweat blood about it. Physical death is only one part of it.We are dying all the time, struggling painfully to let go of youth, health, daydreams and possible dreams, infatuations, romances, honeymoons, and, in the end, of life itself. No one lets go easily. Ernest Becker contends that the denial of death is the primary repression within Western culture and that, from that repression, come the majority of our psychological ailments. He’s right.We don’t accept death. We deny, daydream, mummify, pretend, cling, drug, refuse to wake up, and do everything except accept that we must let go. Two images describe us: The first is that of Mary Magdala on Easter morning wanting desperately to cling to the Jesus she had known rather than accepting the resurrected one. The second is that of mummification. Like the ancient Egyptians who reacted to death by embalming and mummifying their dead, we tend to embalm and mummify what has died in us. The proper response to death in all its kinds is not these postures, but the ac-ceptance of the paschal mystery. But this needs to be explained. As Christians we need to distin- guish between two kinds of death, paschal and terminal. Terminal death is death that ends life, ends possibilities. It brings dreams, health, honeymoons and happiness to final closure. Paschal death is real death. Something precious dies. However, in this kind of death, there is in the dying an opening to new life and new scripture.In paschal death, there is always a birth as well, just as in childbirth a woman loses her child even in giving it birth. The paschal mystery, the passage through death to new life, though normally associated with Christ’s death and resurrection, is in its widest sense a natural mystery. All reality grows and deepens through it. Christ’s life, however, offers its deepest modeling and his death and resurrection is a paschal drama that we can participate in.A priest I know tells the story of a family whose father was dying of cancer. Big, tough, a welder, the man was not dying easily. For months he hung on, long after there was any hope. In intense pain, his body wasted away, the disease terminal, he still refused to die. He lay clinging to life.Each day his family spent their time with him. One day the oldest son sat by the bedside watching his dad suffering. Overcome by the pain and hopelessness of it, he squeezed his dad’s hand and said: “Dad, die for God’s sake! Let go! It’s got to be better there than here.” Almost immediately, his dad became calm and within minutes he died. The words his son spoke were paschal words, Christian words, words that trust God enough to be able to die in him and know that new life and new spirit will be born in the dying. --Ron Rolheiser in Paschal Death: Letting Go, June 2, 1985
What Grace is Mine
by Kristyn Getty--arranged by Rob Mathes (the tune is Londonderry Air or Danny
Boy)
What grace is mine that He who dwells in endless light Called through the night to find my distant soul
And from his scars poured mercy that would plead for me That I might live and in his name be known
So I will go wherever He is calling me I lose my life to find my life in
HimI give my all to gain the hope that nev'r dies
I bow my heart, take up my cross and follow Him
What grace is mine to know His breath alive in me Beneath his wings my wakened soul may
soarAll fear can flee for death's dark night is overcome My Saviour lives and reigns
forevermore
So I will go wherever He is calling me I lose my life to find my life in
HimI give my all to gain the hope that nev'r dies
I bow my heart, take up my cross and follow Him

THE MYSTERY OF THE EUCHARIST
Reflection prompt:
“Therefore the Eucharistic Celebration is much more than simple ban- quet: it is exactly the memorial of Jesus’ Paschal Sacrifice, the mystery at the center of salvation. Memorial does not simply mean a remembrance, a mere memory; it means that every time we celebrate this Sacrament we participate in the mystery of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ.”(Pope Francis, General Audience – February 5, 2014)
Writing prompt:
What steps have you taken to emphasize the centrality of the Eucha- rist in the life of the school community?Have you seen signs of a hunger for the Eucharist?

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES
PENITENTIAL ACT
THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
FIRST READING Eph 4:1-7, 11-13Brothers and sisters:I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace: one Body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
And he gave some as Apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the Body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to maturemanhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 9:2-3, 4-5
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Daypours out the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.Not a word nor a discourse whose voice is not heard; Through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their message.
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION ALLELUIA
We praise you, O God, we acclaim you as Lord; the glorious company of Apostles praise you.
GOSPEL MT 9:9-13
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collec- tors and sinners?” He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not
need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
