’TIS THE GIFT TO BE SIMPLE
The Shaker hymn describes a circular journey from innocence to innocence with characteristic brevity:
’Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free.
’Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be.
This journey is easier sung about than done. It takes humility and time to recover a second innocence. Titles, positions of honor, money, and power are not requirements of the kingdom of God. Jesus says and demonstrates in today’s Gospel that members of God’s kingdom must hold in their embrace the most inconsequential of persons, for that person is identified with Jesus. This attitude ran counter to the intuition of the world of Jesus’ time, as it does in ours.
The simplicity set forth by Jesus requires the shedding of unnecessary, unimportant, false, and burdensome attachments that earthly power demands. Membership in the Kingdom is light enough to put a song in our heart.
Regular attendance at Mass on Sundays and Ho-ly Days of Obligation. Absent only for serious reason, e.g. illness.
Registered in the Parish, receiving and using weekly envelopes, supporting the Parish accord-ing to the best of one’s ability.
Volunteers and participates in Parish activities with time, talent, and resources as means per-mit.
Trying to live the Catholic Faith as best they can with God’s help and the support of family and friends at home and in the Parish.
