ST. MATTHEW PARISH WITH THREE FAITH COMMUNITIES

"My brothers and sisters, you are called to freedom, not slavery." St Paul writes this to the Galatians in today's Second Reading. He is also writing this to us. At least I know he is writing it to me. He is telling me, and you too, that we have the ability to be free to love with every fiber of body and with the might of our souls. But we have to commit to Him, totally, with our entire lives.

"Lord, the Samaritans will not welcome you. Should we call down fire from heaven to consume them?" Really? Really, James and John? Is that what you think this is about, this commission by the Father, publically proclaimed at the Lord's baptism, and detailed with Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration. Do you really think this is about sending fire on the ancient enemies of the Jews? "Kill all those who refuse to join us. Kill the Jews. Have an inqui-sition. Kill the Moslems. Call a crusade. Kill the reputations of those who would dare mock us. Refuse to recognize their dignity." Really, is that why we wage a battle for the Kingdom of Heaven? Don't you get it, James and John, and Shirley and Phil?

James and John wanted a religion that was fierce, that would hurt all who opposed it. Jesus didn't come to estab-lish a Kingdom of pain. He knew that people would try to hide hatred under the guise of religion. He didn't want a religion that would call down fire on people. At least not physical fire. The fire He wanted to call down was the fire of the Holy Spirit. “I have come to set the world on fire, and how I wish it were aflame,” we read in Luke 12:49. His life was not about physical power. His life was about ser-vice, service through love. His religion would be all about leading others to God.

We are called to lead others to God. This includes that relative, or that neighbor who really irritates us. This in-cludes that person has really hurt us, or, worse, has hurt someone whom we love. We can't say, "Lord, I'm not go-ing to let go of my hate, but I still want to follow you." That is the same as saying, "Lord let me take care of this or that, and then I'll follow you." We have got to be commit-ted to the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Love. We can't hold anything back We have got to sell out for The Lord.

I am not convinced that we recognize the battle that is tak-ing place right here, and right now. We go to Church, we say our prayers, all as though we are doing things to keep God happy. We act like the Frozen Chosen, duty bound Catholics with our neat check lists of what we have to do to keep God happy.

We don’t practice our faith to keep God happy. He is God. He doesn't need us to be happy. Religion is about our roles in the battle of the Kingdom of God against evil. It is about fighting Satan. The devil, evil, sees the determination of committed Christians and will do every-thing it can to destroy us. We have got to acknowledge that we have been called to arms against a powerful spiri-tual foe, and we have to defeat him by realizing, making real, our own unique reflections of the Lord's love. For only love can destroy evil. This is the fire that will destroy the enemies of God.

There is a battle to be waged and a world that needs us to fight for good, fight for the Kingdom, and commit to The Lord.

Catholicism is a way of life. It is who we are. Every action of our lives must serve The Lord. We must sell out for Him. May we have the courage to let Jesus Christ set us on fire with His Love. (Excerpt from Msgr. J. Pellegrino)

Almsgiving: Where is it in the Bible? Tobit 4:7: Give alms from your

possessions to all who live up-

rightly, and do not let your eye

begrudge the gift when you

make it. Do not turn your face

away from any poor man, and

the face of God will not be

turned away from you.

Tobit 12:8-9: Prayer is good when accompanied by

fasting, almsgiving, and righteousness. A little with

righteousness is better than much with wrongdoing. It

is better to give alms than to treasure up gold. For

almsgiving delivers from death, and it will purge away

every sin. Those who perform deeds of charity and of

righteousness will have fullness of life

Sirach 3:30: Water extinguishes a blazing fire: so

almsgiving atones for sin.

Sirach 12:3: No good will come to the man who

persists in evil or to him who does not give alms.

Sirach 17:22: A man's almsgiving is like a signet with

the Lord and he will keep a person's kindness like the

apple of his eye.

Sirach 29:12: Store up almsgiving in your treasury,

and it will rescue you from all affliction;

Sirach 40:24: Brothers and help are for a time of

trouble, but almsgiving rescues better than both.

Matthew 6:2-4: "Thus, when you give alms, sound no

trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the syna-

gogues and in the streets, that they may be praised

by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their

reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left

hand know what your right hand is doing, so that

your alms may be in secret; and your Father who

sees in secret will reward you.

Luke 12:33: Sell your possessions, and give alms;

provide yourselves with purses that do not grow old,

with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail,

where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

Acts 10:4 & 10:31: And he stared at him in terror,

and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him,

"Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a

memorial before God: 31: saying, “Cornelius, your

prayer has been heard and your alms have been

remembered before God.”
