Tsunami Homily Transcript

Gospel Question: What images coming out of Japan this past week have stayed with you the strongest?

The images have been arresting as they have flowed to us day and night from Japan and across the world. Some will stay with us for a very long time.

One that is very much with me still is of a guy driving along a coastal road and his camera is on and this huge 30 foot waves begins to cross the road in front of him and starts lifting up his car and carrying him like a boat. It was frightening and disconcerting to watch. How powerful that we have those images of this thing called a Tsunami! Now we’ve heard of Tsunami, we’ve known of the terrible toll they take on life and cities, but we’ve never had so many images….

Revelation is happening all the time, right in front of us. Sometimes revelation happens through the events of nature, even when nature is at its most ferocious. Revelations are the deepest down things shown us about ourselves, about our God, and about what matters in life. Some are so obvious, but some perhaps take a little deeper listening for us to really get it.

What might a Tsunami reveal? What might a tsunami teach us about our own true nature? 7 LESSONS OF A TSUNAMI:

1) Know your own power and the power of your impact on others and on the earth. You are powerful! YOU are powerful. And you have the power to destroy.

2) You can go someplace and and leave a mess and never clean up after yourself. If you make a mess of things (and you will!) at work, at home, in your friendships, a relation with God, clean up after yourself. It’s the least you could do!

3) Be prepared, all the while knowing there are some things for which you can never be prepared.

4) JUST 6 WORDS: Things can change in an instant.

5) The tsunami is oblivious to human life; indifferent to you and every person in its path. There are so many in our lives who we will encounter along the way who will not care about you in the least, take no interest in you, and even be out to get you–hurt you–even destroy us in the work of your hands and your loves along with it, maybe even your life. As the Scripture shows from its beginning to its last pages: “you will not go through this world without enemies.” We’d so like it to be otherwise—that maybe if I do it right, say it right, everybody will like me, but truth is the “haters” will always be with us.

6) JUST TWO WORDS: Nothing lasts. Absolutely nothing lasts! That home full of memories, that you worked so hard to build and invested so much of your life into, so full of memories of tears and laughter and conversation and making love, washed away, forever.

7) After a tsunami the skies can shine beautiful and blue as if nothing happened when really everything is changed. Nothing is the same. Life goes on—our worst days are somebody else’s best days. We stand on a street corner after our mom dies or a best friend and the bottom has fallen out for me, but everybody, 99.99% of the world goes on like nothing is changed at all.

Ya see, Encounters with the divine Love can take place in scenes of utter desolation. Love speaks thru the rubble of our lives. Telling us the Truth about ourselves. Love rebuilds even where the devastation has been most awful and terrifying, as people chose hope and people from half a globe away respond to each of these scenes with compassion in the One who is compassion itself.

What does all this have to do with Transfiguration? If we listened to life, if we listen to even disaster when it strikes, if we listen to what is happening right in front of us, we can be changed to. We can be changed for the better. If we take these lessons to heart, we can be transfigured! Something of light, something of glory, will shine through us. So that even the most terrible disaster can open us and help us discover something of our true nature.

As we watch these scenes in Japan, played out again and again, nature at its most ferocious, JUST ONE WORD: listen….

"Love" by George Herbert

This is the poem that was read at today's ecumenical Ash Wednesday service:

Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.

"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"

"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.

A Reflection from John Aughey

Last weekend I attended a silent retreat at White House Retreat House. As part of this retreat, we had group prayers throughout the day, but one prayer that stuck with me is the Angelus. This prayer is said three times daily, and in the morning is followed by two additional prayers. The Angelus by itself takes only a minute to recite, and the morning extensions add just a few additional minutes.

During one of the talks of the retreat, the presider spoke about our addiction to noise. We wake up in the morning and turn on the TV or radio. We walk with iPods bombarding us with music. The instant we get into the car, we turn on the radio. We even go to bed with white noise generators because we can't stand the silence. We are addicted to noise.

My 25 minute drive to work is filled with noise and information. I'm either listening to music or news, or thinking about what I am going work on once I get to work. By the time I get to work, my senses and brain are in overdrive and rather than being prepared to dive into work, I find myself so over stimulated that I can't focus on a single task.

So I have started to incorporate the Angelus and additional prayers into my morning drive to work. I still listen to the radio, but at a set point in my commute I turn off the radio and recite the Angelus by memory. The additional prayers are intentionally not committed to memory, as this allows me to remain in a prayerful silence state until I arrive at the parking lot. Once I arrive, I don't bolt out of my car, but rather sit there with my book and finish the final prayers. These minutes of intentional silence and holding back help to center me and prepare myself for the challenges of the day.

Library Update from Frank Freeman

I have added two new books to the library. The newer one is medical Ethics by Richard
A. McCormick. The title is, Health and Medicine in the Catholic Tradition. Subtitled,
Tradition in Transition. The moral theology department of Creighton University, Omaha,
Nebraska singles out McCormick. See Tod Salzman at Creighton U. and look under
deontology.

The best thing about McCormick is that he writes an American English. There are very
organic, very meaty examples taken from life. Those examples can bring us up short,
as when McCormick takes us inside a heroin addict house in New York City. Or goes
into a cancer ward with the famous Alexander Solzhenitzen. Or he drops a line about
a friend who went insane. Was anything worth that? McCormick asks us why? do we
really believe that these self-ruined people are God’s special creation? Is this really His
way of revealing? We can’t know. But until we ask this unanswerable question the rest
makes no sense at all.

McCormick is very careful to identify his own position: he features himself as “the radical
middle,” an identity that he acknowledges could be arrogant. The book is a great read.
No harm in skipping to the last chapter on abortion and sexual ethics. It is the best part.
Not to mention the great footnotes. A tour de force, McCormick spells out his opinions
and our options. ... really! It is a book that can fully reward a fifteen minute quick-skim
read. Then, dare you to put it down.

The other is the 1963, essays on The Renewal of the Liturgy. Skip to the last one, The
Future, its Hopes and Difficulties, for a frank and open discussion of the obstacles.

Not to be outdone, there is a reflection posted. By me.

Egypt and the Arab world are one the edge of a cultural explosion. Some of it, at

least, was anticipated by Egypt’s Nobel Laureate. Naguib Mahfouz. Many Arabic
speaking people grew up with his novels and the movies made from them. His Nobel
Laureate Address is recommended for a fresh insight into the world view of an Arabic
writer.

2009 Intern Reflection

2009-10 CSC intern-in-service Elizabeth Bundy reflects upon her experience at the CSC...as an introvert.

::ahem:: Hi, My name is Elizabeth Bundy (formerly Doveno)...and I am an introvert. My energy comes from having time to myself and I am drained from talking to lots and lots of people in a day. Yes, it may come to some as a shock because I am very well known to chat someone's ear off; however, I insist that it is true. I struggle with outreaching to others in large group settings. I get petrified at the thought of going up to complete strangers and engage in a conversation with them. I am not very smooth or comfortable with small talk. I can get anxious in a social situation where I receive blank stares and expressionless statements-especially if I feel that what I share is really personal or important. I rather engage in a small group conversation or even better one on one with deep meaningful insights. I become easily drained by trying to milk a conversation that is not going anywhere. Now, don't get me wrong, not all times does a conversation need to end in a deep enlightenment of life. Primarily though, the conversations I remember most, entail something deep and meaningful. So, how did I ever work in an environment like the CSC that relies heavily on engaging new students/and community members?! My job is to constantly meet and greet new people and create an environment that is open, loving, and welcoming. I need to get out of my introverted self and stretch what I think I can do.

I remember VERY clearly the first weekend as an intern at the CSC. All through the first Mass I could only think about questions I could ask new people and what my approach was going to be. I decided to stick to what I knew and was more comfortable doing. This approach is to look for those individuals who are similar to myself where they feel overwhelmed just going up to new people and usually are on the outskirts taking several trips to the food table hoping to bump into someone there. I found a young grad student working on her MSW at the Brown School at WashU. I honest to God could not have asked for a better first meeting of a student! We chatted about her home, why she was passionate about social work, adventures she has had in the city, and even more meaningful a small insight to her faith. This spring board gave me my confidence and helped me to continue my established means of meeting new people. I could introduce myself to someone new and have a brief meaningful conversation with them! Holy cow...no way! I took this new found energy and found confidence to meet people in smaller groups not chatting with too many others. In this, I had some great conversations and continued to gain confidence.

Now, there was still some hurdles for me to overcome. I needed to still outreach constantly and not just continue to go to those students and community members I knew. So, I decided every weekend to meet one new person at both Masses. Now, this may seem a little too small of a goal, but for me...it took some time. My gifts and talents are more of running in the background making sure things are going smoothly and handling crisis situations of sorts. My gifts and talents are NOT having a group of people surround me and entertain them with tons of witty remarks or being the one playing master of ceremonies. Regardless, I needed to stretch myself and challenge myself to try.

By the spring semester of last year I was proud of my efforts. I was successfully meeting new students weekly and creating new relationships. When the end of the intern year came, I truly felt like I gained skills that I had previously not worked on. I had the satisfaction of knowing I could engage in small talk, introduce myself to someone new when I did not know them rather than sit in the back and wait for them to come to me, and jump into a group while in conversation. I will not lie and tell you that now it all comes naturally. I recently have found it once again challenging to just jump into a group conversation when maybe only knowing one other person of the group or not even knowing anyone. Regardless, the experiences given to me through the internship were invaluable to growing into a better me. I am still introverted, and that will not change. I am now, however, more confident and able to put myself in situations that just a couple of years ago would find myself avoiding.

Johnny's Immaculate Conception Reflection

The following was written and delivered by intern Johnny Holloway as a reflection on Tuesday, December 7.

Friday evening I decided to go to another (not the CSC) church for Mass at 5:15.
I got in the habit of occasionally going to weekday Mass this summer, shortly after becoming Catholic. Maybe it was because of the St. Louis summer heat, but I liked how they served their communion wine chilled. It was refreshing in every possible sense.

I met Sandy (not her real name) during one of those first summer visits to SLU, and ours
has become an unlikely relationship. Sandy must be in her late 50s, although
she looks older. She has seven kids, all of whom have children of their own,
and she is jobless. She lives on $687 a month, and is hard pressed to pay the
bills, and buy food for her poorly educated family. She’s either incompetent
to work, or unwilling to, so each day she takes 2 buses from the crowded
home she shares with her children, down to the SLU area to beg for money and food.

I’m 23 years old, I’ve never been hungry for more than a few hours, and my
parents purchased the car that I drive and the degree I got from Wash U.

I don’t want to paint a romantic image of Sandy or make her out to look like a
saint. She’s not one. She knows how to get what she wants. Often she needs
a ride somewhere. She always manages to get herself down to SLU and
then complains about how much trouble it is for her to get back home on
the buses. “I’m broke down, I’m strugglin’ too much” is her refrain. After
seeing some of the places she’s asked me to take her in the past (the Section
8 housing office, her home, KFC), I’m becoming convinced that though she
has very real needs, more than anything, she just wants to go for a ride in a
car and to have someone to listen to her for a brief while.

Friday was the feast of St. Francis Xavier, a co-founder and patron of the
Jesuits. From the homily I learned that Francis was a smart student and a
good athlete, a man after my own heart. But he was frustrated by how many
good Catholics were content to sit around at Universities studying about
God, but were unwilling to go out and take the Good News to the people
of God through humble service. On top of this, I remembered John the
Baptist’s words from this Sunday, “Bear fruit as a sign of your repentance.”

With all these pious thoughts filling my mind, I left the chapel on a spiritual
high…and then I ran into Sandy. “Crap. I’m going to have to drive her
somewhere.”, I thought. “Maybe she won’t see me.” I started walking away
and only got a few steps before I heard her calling my name. I tried to be
firm and came up with something like “Sandy, you know I can’t give you a ride
anywhere”…but the truth was that I could, and she knew it. She reminded
me of how hard her life is, how cold she was, how she didn’t have any
money for a Christmas tree, let alone gifts for her children or grandchildren,
etc.…she wanted a ride home. How could I say no?

I drove her home…and found out that she only wanted to go there to check
her mail. Where she really needed to go, she then said, was to this other
place where her son was staying, so we arrived there…only so that she could
tell her son where she was actually wanting to go was this place in South
City, where there was heat and furniture... another detour.

I was angry, and Sandy knew it. She had lied to me, and I felt used. “This is not
cool Sandy, you knew where you needed to go before you asked me for a ride,
but you weren’t honest with me about it.”

“I know”, she said “but you wouldn’t have taken me otherwise.”

As we rode in silence to her friend’s place in South City, I could tell that Sandy
was feeling bad about the whole thing. She turned to me and said she was
sorry. She asked if I could forgive her so that we could start over fresh. I
thought about Christ on the Crucifix, and how despite having been used, His
love overflowed in Mercy and Forgiveness even on the Cross. It was also
clear to me after seeing how she lived, that Sandy was the one who was truly
being crucified in this life, not me. I swallowed hard and said “Yes Sandy, I
forgive you. And I’m sorry for trying to avoid you at Church.”

My “yes” did not lead me where I expected it to. It was actually very messy.
In fact, I think all of our “yeses” are pretty messy in some way, but I do
know that we will always meet God through them.

Brian's Immaculate Conception Reflection

The following was written and delivered by intern Brian Blosser as a reflection on Tuesday, December 7.

I have said YES to God in his call to continue to seek him, to not give up on the Divine. You see, for a number of years now, I have struggled with the question of whether or not God exists. I have struggled with whether my faith could stand up to my intellect and my skepticism. I have felt that there was as good a chance of God not existing as there was of God existing.

Emotionally, it’s not hard for me to imagine that I am talking to God in prayer, or thanking God in church, and there is so much I love in our Catholic tradition. However, intellectually, I ask myself questions all the time: Is our belief in God a product of human evolution that can be explained through evolutionary psychology or cultural evolution? Although God could be the source of all the universe and of evolution, it’s possible that he wasn’t, too. Is God necessary? Am I clinging to God because I need to believe in God, because I want to believe in God? Am I afraid I couldn’t handle a Godless world?

I have a brother who is atheist, and we have very lively conversations about what religious people believe, and whether or not those beliefs hold water. I think in addition to the intellectual standards I hold myself to, I often think of my brother in the back of my mind. Would he approve of my belief? Is it something that would stand up to his reasoning?

During last Spring semester, when I was deciding what I was going to do this year, I felt that the CSC was a place where I could explore these questions, explore whether or not God existed and if he did, what I could know about him. However, I worried that I wouldn’t fit in as an intern without a strong faith. During my interview for the CSC internship, I expressed my concern about fitting in to Troy and Sr. Linda. Sr. Linda’s response was, “Brian, the only thing that we ask is that you have an open mind, that you be open to God acting in your life just as much as you be open to God not existing.” It was a really powerful thing that she said.

I think I have said yes to God this year in that I have not stopped seeking: I have not stopped pursuing an understanding of God and the God question. I have been able to read several books about God which have intrigued me and given me hope: from a book that posited God as the source of moral progress, to a book which introduced me to eco-theology, to works of scholars in the field of science and religion, who are able to wrestle with the God question in light of what we know about the natural world through science.

In addition, in light of the openness requested by Troy and Sr. Linda, I have tried my best, with their loving encouragement, to learn from the diverse understandings of God of those around me. Although all of the understandings don’t always make sense to me, I recognize that they can hold much wisdom and value.

To be clear, I haven’t always been diligent in my seeking: there are times when laziness or lack of interest slows my search for God. There are also times when I let my mind close to others’ understandings and lose out on their wisdom. But I hope that when that happens I do my best to renew my commitment, to again say Yes and continue to seek an understanding of God.

Sarah's Immaculate Conception Reflection

The following was written and delivered by intern Sarah Ampleman as a reflection on Tuesday, December 7.

In many ways, the past spring and summer have been more of

a winter than anything else. There was a lot of stripping away,

of starkness; it was a time of hibernation in my own little cave

to sort things out.

You see, I had fallen in love, for the first time. Or really, I

had realized after the fact, when it was too late to do anything

about it, that I was in love. It was just two weeks after the

initial shock that it wasn’t going to work out with this person

that God decided to drop the “religious life” bomb on me.

Really God, you think NOW is the best time to ask me to think

about becoming a sister or nun?? It felt like I had been shown

everything I’d ever want, and then had it taken away from me,

like I’d never really be given it or anything like it, again. I was

still reeling from the blow that I wouldn’t have the chance to

know this man like I desired, but now felt completely knocked

out by the thought that maybe, I wouldn’t ever get to know any

man ever. It seemed like some kind of cruel joke –that I was

able to experience falling in love, but I’d never know its fruits.

I was bitter and angry at God. But underneath those

shallower emotions was fear. Fear of closing myself off to

potential relationships, of potential “happy endings.” Fear

because I knew I’d eventually be saying yes to God, because he

knew me best after all, and where else could I run and still be

happy? Fear because I’d never even considered the religious

life as a viable option and so had no framework at all of how

to think about and visualize the future. I was a strange mix of

depression at a seemingly bleak horizon of knowing I would

eventually be done with this heartbreak but for now I’d just

have to wait it out in the meantime, however long it took, and

yet somehow hopeful that God had plans for me and that I

knew just a little bit more of what they were.
It took a couple of painful months for me to say yes to

God to discern a call to the religious life. It was very humbling

and it involved a lot of letting go’s. I began to understand

what it meant to be stripped of everything: of all my plans,

of everything I want, of everything I love and cherish, to be

left with nothing --except the very best part of me that was

hidden deep down at the bottom –and giving this back to God.

Through this saying yes to God and the time spent in prayer

and asking myself hard questions, I grew to know more deeply

both myself and God, of what I could contribute to the world,

what my gifts were and my purpose.

Honestly, looking back on the last nine months, it’s been

the best part of my life. I have felt more alive, first from the

pain, but secondly, and more deeply, from an awakening to

who I really am, the affirmation of who God is calling me

to be and how He is giving me everything I need to be this

manifestation of love for others. After this winter, came a

spring and a new life.

While this ‘yes’ has not led me to a definitive answer

on what vocation God is calling me to, it has led to a better

awareness and attentiveness on my part of what God is doing

in my life, how he is preparing me little by little for what’s next,

and all the blessings of grace and growth that I couldn’t see

before, the richness of a life spent continually seeking a right

relationship with God and others.

Church Makes You Happier

Here's an interesting article that a CSC student shared with the staff. According to the article, people who attend Church are happier because the relationships they form at Church are more significant to them compared to relationships formed outside of Church communities.
