EVANGELII GAUDIUM The Joy Of The Gospel [1]

Apostolic Exhortation of the Holy Father Francis

Eternal newness 11. A renewal of preaching can offer believers, as well as the lukewarm and the non-practising, new joy in the faith and fruitfulness in the work of evangelization. The heart of its message will always be the same: the God who revealed his immense love in the crucified and risen Christ. God constantly renews his faithful ones, whatever their age: “They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be faint” (Is 40:31). Christ is the “eternal Gospel” (Rev 14:6); he “is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb 13:8), yet his riches and beauty are inexhaustible. He is for ever young and a constant source of newness. The Church never fails to be amazed at “the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God” (Rom 11:33). Saint John of the Cross says that “the thicket of God’s wisdom and knowledge is so deep and so broad that the soul, however much it has come to know of it, can always penetrate deeper within it”.[7] Or as Saint Irenaeus writes: “By his coming, Christ brought with him all newness”.[8] With this newness he is always able to renew our lives and our communities, and even if the Christian message has known periods of darkness and ecclesial weakness, it will never grow old.

THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL (cont’d)

Jesus can also break through the dull categories with which we would enclose him and he constantly amazes us by his divine creativity. Whenever we make the effort to return to the source and to recover the original freshness of the Gospel, new avenues arise, new paths of creativity open up, with different forms of expression, more eloquent signs and words with new meaning for today’s world. Every form of authentic evangelization is always “new”. 12. Though it is true that this mission demands great generosity on our part, it would be wrong to see it as a heroic individual undertaking, for it is first and foremost the Lord’s work, surpassing anything which we can see and understand. Jesus is “the first and greatest evangelizer”.[9] In every activity of evangelization, the primacy always belongs to God, who has called us to cooperate with him and who leads us on by the power of his Spirit. The real newness is the newness which God himself mysteriously brings about and inspires, provokes, guides and accompanies in a thousand ways. The life of the Church should always reveal clearly that God takes the initiative, that “he has loved us first” (1 Jn 4:19) and that he alone “gives the growth” (1 Cor 3:7). This conviction enables us to maintain a spirit of joy in the midst of a task so demanding and challenging that it engages our entire life. God asks everything of us, yet at the same time he offers everything to us. 13. Nor should we see the newness of this mission as entailing a kind of displacement or forgetfulness of the living history which surrounds us and carries us forward. Memory is a dimension of our faith which we might call “deuteronomic”, not unlike the memory of Israel itself. Jesus leaves us the Eucharist as the Church’s daily remembrance of, and deeper sharing in, the event of his Passover (cf. Lk 22:19). The joy of evangelizing always arises from grateful remembrance: it is a grace which we constantly need to implore. The apostles never forgot the moment when Jesus touched their hearts: “It was about four o’clock in the afternoon” (Jn 1:39). Together with Jesus, this remembrance makes present to us “a great cloud of witnesses” (Heb 12:1), some of whom, as believers, we recall with great joy: “Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God” (Heb 13:7). Some of them were ordinary people who were close to us and introduced us to the life of faith: “I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice” (2 Tim 1:5). The believer is essentially “one who remembers”. To be continued... http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-

La Alegria del Evangelio Una eterna novedad

11. Un anuncio renovado ofrece a los creyentes, también a los tibios o no practicantes, una nueva alegría en la fe y una fecundidad evangelizadora. En realidad, su centro y esencia es siempre el mismo: el Dios que manifes-tó su amor inmenso en Cristo muerto y resucitado. Él hace a sus fieles siempre nuevos; aunque sean ancianos, «les renovará el vigor, subirán con alas como de águila, correrán sin fatigarse y andarán sin cansarse» (Is 40,31). Cristo es el «Evangelio eterno» (Ap 14,6), y es «el mismo ayer y hoy y para siempre» (Hb 13,8), pero su riqueza y su hermosura son inagota-bles. Él es siempre joven y fuente constante de novedad. La Iglesia no deja de asombrarse por «la profundidad de la riqueza, de la sabiduría y del conocimiento de Dios» (Rm 11,33). Decía san Juan de la Cruz: «Esta espesu-ra de sabiduría y ciencia de Dios es tan profunda e inmensa, que, aunque más el alma sepa de ella, siempre puede entrar más adentro»[7]. O bien, como afirmaba san Ireneo: «[Cristo], en su venida, ha traído consigo toda novedad»[8]. Él siempre puede, con su novedad, renovar nuestra vida y nuestra comunidad y, aunque atraviese épocas oscuras y debilidades ecle-siales, la propuesta cristiana nunca envejece. Jesucristo también puede romper los esquemas aburridos en los cuales pretendemos encerrarlo y nos sorprende con su constante creatividad divina. Cada vez que intenta-mos volver a la fuente y recuperar la frescura original del Evangelio, bro-tan nuevos caminos, métodos creativos, otras formas de expresión, signos más elocuentes, palabras cargadas de renovado significado para el mundo actual. En realidad, toda auténtica acción evangelizadora es siempre «nueva». 12. Si bien esta misión nos reclama una entrega generosa, sería un error entenderla como una heroica tarea personal, ya que la obra es ante todo de Él, más allá de lo que podamos descubrir y entender. Jesús es «el pri-mero y el más grande evangelizador»[9]. En cualquier forma de evangeli-zación el primado es siempre de Dios, que quiso llamarnos a colaborar con Él e impulsarnos con la fuerza de su Espíritu. La verdadera novedad es la que Dios mismo misteriosamente quiere producir, la que Él inspira, la que Él provoca, la que Él orienta y acompaña de mil maneras. En toda la vida de la Iglesia debe manifestarse siempre que la iniciativa es de Dios, que «Él nos amó primero» (1 Jn 4,19) y que «es Dios quien hace crecer» (1 Co 3,7). Esta convicción nos permite conservar la alegría en medio de una tarea tan exigente y desafiante que toma nuestra vida por entero. Nos pide todo, pero al mismo tiempo nos ofrece todo. 13. Tampoco deberíamos entender la novedad de esta misión como un desarraigo, como un olvido de la historia viva que nos acoge y nos lanza hacia adelante. La memoria es una dimensión de nuestra fe que podríamos llamar «deuteronómica», en analogía con la memoria de Israel. Jesús nos deja la Eucaristía como memoria cotidiana de la Iglesia, que nos introduce cada vez más en la Pascua (cf. Lc 22,19). La alegría evangelizadora siempre brilla sobre el trasfondo de la memoria agradecida: es una gracia que necesitamos pedir. Los Apóstoles jamás olvidaron el momento en que Jesús les tocó el corazón: «Era alrededor de las cuatro de la tarde» (Jn 1,39). Junto con Jesús, la memoria nos hace presente «una verdadera nube de testigos» (Hb 12,1). Entre ellos, se destacan algunas personas que inci-dieron de manera especial para hacer brotar nuestro gozo creyente: «Acordaos de aquellos dirigentes que os anunciaron la Palabra de Dios» (Hb 13,7). A veces se trata de personas sencillas y cercanas que nos iniciaron en la vida de la fe: «Tengo presente la sinceridad de tu fe, esa fe que tuvieron tu abuela Loide y tu madre Eunice» (2 Tm 1,5). El creyente es fundamentalmente «memorioso». Continuará…

Stewardship Reflection:

There is something fascinating about stars. Even though science ex-plains them to us, identi-fies them, and makes us realize they can each be very different, our per-ception of them is the thousands of “points of light” in our night sky. Our readings today deal with Christ’s Second Coming, the end time. Part of the message in these readings has to do with our preparedness. If the Lord would come to-day, are we ready? Are our lives in order that we might be counted among those united with the Lord in Heaven?

The First Reading from the Book of Daniel speaks of the stars; com-paring the night sky to wise and good people: “…the wise shall shine

brightly like the splendor of the firmament.” Daniel reminds us that to be tru-ly prepared, we must seek and find righteousness. “Righteousness” is de-fined as “behavior that is morally justifiable or right.” Nevertheless, the Greek word in the Bible that we translate as “righteousness,” as is of-ten the case, means more than that. It deals with our conduct in relation to others also.

To be righteous we must aspire to goodness, but we also must follow the admonitions of Christ to love one another. When we look at the night sky, are we one of the stars, one who leads others to justice? Practic-ing stewardship helps us in that regard.

As our nation enjoys this one day a year to thank God “from Whom all blessings flow,” we Catholics have the opportunity to better appreciate just what a blessing we have in the weekly and daily opportunities we enjoy for “Eucharist,” which means “thanksgiving” in the original Greek. What better way to start our national feast as Catholics, faith-filled and faithful citizens of the United States of America! Msgr. John Talesfore, Pastor
