Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
November 13, 2016 Sing praise to the L with the harp, with the
harp and melodious song. — Psalm 98:5
GOD’S HEALING JUSTICE An old expression holds that the
sun-warmed stone heals. Perhaps. But Malachi explains that only
dark, sun-less days are in store for those who do not find a place
for God in their lives. Conversely, he tells us that the warmth and
light of God’s healing justice await those who fear the Lord.
That’s a pretty comforting notion—especially now in the already
short and growing even shorter days of No-vember. It’s the
sun-warmed stone, and then some. Paul speaks to us of justice as
well, but points out that it is not a passive thing. To be treated
justly, we need to do our fair share. If we are diligent and
persevere we will be rewarded with and by the fruits of our labor.
Lastly, Luke, too, tells us to persevere—in faith, this time—and
our lives will be secure in God regardless of how we are treated by
our enemies. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION With Thanksgiving approaching, we
think of the quest of the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower
from their first exile in Leyden, Holland. Like the Catholics of
England, they were religious dissenters who suffered penalties for
not participating in the worship life of the established church.
The Catholics established monaster-ies, schools, and convents on
the continent to assure the vigor of their faith’s intellectual and
spiritual life. The Puritans fled to the tolerant Netherlands with
similar hopes of preserving their way of life, but were unable to
adapt to Dutch ways. There were Catholics who made a similar
colonial journey. The hero of the story is George Calvert, Lord
Baltimore, the former Secretary of State of Britain and a Catholic.
He proposed that King Charles I establish a proprietary colony that
he would own and rule, named Maryland in honor of the Catholic
Queen Henrietta Ma-ria. George Calvert died unexpectedly in the
midst of this project, but his son Cecil faithfully carried out his
father’s wishes. Maryland became a symbol of freedom for wealthy
recusant English families, as well as for the poor who held to the
Catholic faith despite great hard-ship. From the start, the colony
was open to Protestants and Catholics equally, and the seeds of the
religious freedom so dear to the American spirit were sown with the
first colonists in 1634. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S.
Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — There will arise the sun of
justice with its healing rays (Malachi 3:19-20a). Psalm — The Lord
comes to rule the earth with justice (Psalm 98). Second Reading —
Paul speaks of his hard work among the Thessalonians (2
Thessalonians 3:7-12). Gospel — Jesus foretells the destruction of
Jerusalem, the perse-cution of his followers. But their
perseverance will be their sal-vation (Luke 21:5-19). The English
