+ The gospel passage today urges us to place our heart’s desire where
it needs to be – and that is in the super-natural realm – the heavenly realm –
the Realm of Christ, the King of the Universe – where it literally and already
belongs. Any other placement will always produce a slight discomfort at the
least, and downright catastrophic chaos at most. Look around the world today to
see how the collective heart of the citizens of this country is right now:
judge it by the catastrophic chaos that permeates most of our government
leaders beginning with the anti-Christian leader of the free world who sits in
the oval office – and is hell-bent in destroying everything that has to do with
freedom and democracy, compassion and right-choice, mercy and downright common
sense.
The “reality check” for all of
this activity is the “eyes” – for all those living in the Light of the Gospel,
the Light of the Beatitudes, the Light of Life – the eyes of the body are
bright, clear, shining and joy filled! For those living the Darkness of the
Evil One – the eyes are shifty, calculating, dead, and self-content to the
extreme.
We stoke the fires of the Holy
Spirit within us, so that our eyes can see what is really there, and to respond
to it with LOVE, compassion, justice, mercy, and common sense (the sense of a
rightly formed vibrant conscience) – by attendance at this Mass – it is
primarily through this Sacred Banquet that we can have the power to not only
see what is truly evil, but have the courage to do something about it.
This time is here for the vast
population who not only call themselves Christian – but who actually are
Christian and do Christian – to storm Washington DC – we are directly
responsible for building up the “earthly city” – in preparation for its
transition to the new heavenly city. We are either for this or against it –
there is no standing still!
Our heart IS, where our
TREASURE IS! Where’s yours?
