DAY 6 – MOTHER MOST PURE, PRAY THAT WE RECEIVE THE GIFT OF JUSTICE!
GOD’S WORD
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:34-40)
HEROES’ WORDS
“Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.” -St. Augustine
“The source of justice is not vengeance but charity.” -St. Bridget of Sweden
“If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it.” -St. Thomas of Villanova
MEDITATION
Justice is the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbor. Justice toward God is called the “virtue of religion.” Justice toward men disposes one to respect the rights of each and to establish in human relationships the harmony that promotes equity with regard to persons and to the common good. The just man, often mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures, is distinguished by habitual right thinking and the uprightness of his conduct toward his neighbor. (CCC 1807).

Introduction To 2 Chronicles[1]
If 1 Chronicles is the
uplifting story of Israel's Golden Age, when King David ruled with justice and
mercy, then 2 Chronicles is
the hard right turn. Everything starts out just fine. David's son, Solomon,
builds the Temple in Jerusalem and impresses everyone with his wealth and
wisdom. But when Solomon dies, Israel's fortunes take a nosedive. For starters,
the country breaks into two warring kingdoms. The new king of the unified
kingdom, Rehoboam, isn't as politically savvy as his ancestor, David. Tired of
Rehoboam's heavy-handed rule, the ten northern tribes break away and form their
own kingdom. Both the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel go through a
series of kings that could best be described as a mixed bag—if by "mixed
bag" we mean incompetent, murderous idolaters who'll kill their own
grandchildren if that's what it takes to stay in power. It wasn't all bad news,
though. "Jumpin'" King Jehoshaphat tries to get a peace treaty going
with his friends in the north. King Hezekiah starts the tradition of
celebrating Passover in Jerusalem. And King Josiah rediscovers the first five
books of the Bible during his reign and realizes it would be a good idea to pay
them some serious attention. But these few bright spots aren't enough to
counteract the absolute corruption of the rest of the kings of Israel. Breaking
divine law, killing off family members, worshipping goat-demons—there's all
kinds of shocking stuff going down. Things get so bad that even though God has
promised that David's descendants will always reign in Israel, he lets the Babylonian Empire invade and
destroy Jerusalem, level the Temple, deport much of the population, and leave
the rest to die in various horrible ways. Eventually, God lets the people
return to Jerusalem to rebuild amid the rubble. But if you were feeling
optimistic after 1 Chronicles, with the righteous King David having things well
in hand, prepare to be discouraged.
Why do bad things happen?
The author of 2 Chronicles knows why, and there's no question about it. Bad
things happen because people disobey God—it's as simple as that. Did your army
just get demolished in battle? Better think twice about worshipping those goat
gods. Got a case of leprosy? Just because you're the king doesn't mean you're
allowed in the Temple doing jobs reserved for the priests. It couldn't be more
clear: if you want health, wealth, victory, and military success, you need to
do what Yahweh asks. He might be forgiving if you're truly sorry, but otherwise
it's just basic math: disobedience = disaster. Don't you wish it were all that
simple? We all know that plenty of bad things definitely happen to very good
people. Maybe you have a friend who's kind and generous and dying from a
horrible disease. Or a fun, supportive cousin who was killed by a drunk driver.
Maybe one of your parents can't find a job despite being hardworking and smart.
Maybe your sweet little sister gets chosen as the tribute from Region 12.
Natural disasters sure don't make distinctions between good and bad people when
they happen. It all seems so unfair, and it's understandable to want
explanations. And there are plenty of explanations. You've heard them all—God's
will, things happen for a reason, things happen for no reason, we don't have
all the information, they must have deserved it, bad genes, bad luck, bad
parents. We all want to figure it out so we can prevent this stuff from
happening to us. But apart from not doing dumb, avoidable things that put us at
risk for accidents or illness or failure, bad things can happen anyway. And as
long as they do, people will wonder why. Chronicles is one answer to this huge
question, but you'll have to find your own. And while you're looking, don't
text and drive, m'kay?
AUGUST 20 Twelfth Sunday after
Pentecost
ST.
BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX
2 Chronicles, Chapter 14, Verse 13
Then the Judahites conquered all
the cities around Gerar, for the FEAR
of the LORD was upon them; they plundered all the cities, for there was much
plunder in them.
Argh
sounds like pirates to me. It does not sound very good to us but we must
remember that the only law was “might makes right”. The truth is that most
people were murdering, thieving pirates. What is new is that Israel had a law
that was given them by the creator; however loosely they followed it. Israel
begins to understand that if you seek the Lord; you will find the Lord; if you
forsake the Lord; the Lord will forsake you.
Judah’s King Asa Wins Big[2]
·
When
Abijah dies, his son Asa takes over the Kingdom of Judah.
·
Asa
keeps Judah on the right path. He gets rid of all references to foreign gods
and encourages the people to follow God's law.
·
He
also builds up Judah's defenses and army in various cities. Even though there
aren't any wars for 10 years, this is a smart move because eventually the
Ethiopians attack Judah.
·
Zerah
the Ethiopian comes at them with a million soldiers. You read that right. Judah
has about 300,000.
·
Totally
outnumbered, Asa leads the army into battle and does pretty much the only thing
he can do right then—he prays. God helps the strong and the weak. And boy, is
Judah weak right now.
·
The
Almighty hears the king's panicked cries and responds with a sweeping victory.
Not only do they drive back the million-man army, but Judah also manages to
kill every last one. No exaggeration whatsoever there.
· The warriors in Judah are able to get all kinds of booty from the Ethiopians, so it's a pretty big win for them.
ON KEEPING THE LORDS DAY HOLY[3]
CHAPTER
V
DIES
DIERUM
Sunday:
The Primordial
Feast, Revealing the Meaning of Time
CONCLUSION
86. I entrust this Apostolic
Letter to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, that it may be received and
put into practice by the Christian community. Without in any way detracting
from the centrality of Christ and his Spirit, Mary is always present in the
Church's Sunday. It is the mystery of Christ itself which demands this: indeed,
how could she who is Mater Domini and Mater Ecclesiae fail to be
uniquely present on the day which is both dies Domini and dies
Ecclesiae?
As they listen to the word proclaimed
in the Sunday assembly, the faithful look to the Virgin Mary, learning from her
to keep it and ponder it in their hearts (cf. Lk 2:19). With Mary, they
learn to stand at the foot of the Cross, offering to the Father the sacrifice
of Christ and joining to it the offering of their own lives. With Mary, they
experience the joy of the Resurrection, making their own the words of the
Magnificat which extol the inexhaustible gift of divine mercy in the inexorable
flow of time: "His mercy is from age to age upon those who fear him"
(Lk 1:50). From Sunday to Sunday, the pilgrim people follow in the
footsteps of Mary, and her maternal intercession gives special power and
fervour to the prayer which rises from the Church to the Most Holy Trinity.
Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost[4]
Focus: True and
laudable service as we run to attain the eternal promises and increase in
faith, hope, and love
Introit of the Mass to-day is the prayer of an
afflicted soul entreating God for assistance. “Incline to my aid, O God; O
Lord, make haste to help me; let my enemies be con founded and ashamed who seek
my soul. Let them be turned backwards, and blush for shame, who desire evils to
me.”
Prayer. O
almighty and merciful God, from Whose gift it comes that Thou art worthily and
laudably served by the faithful, grant us, we beseech Thee, to run without
offence to the attainment of Thy promises.
EPISTLE, ii. Cor. iii. 4-9.
Brethren: Such confidence we have through Christ
towards God: not that we are sufficient to think anything of ourselves, as of
ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God: Who also hath made us fit ministers
of the New Testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit: for the letter
killeth: but the spirit quickeneth. Now if the ministration of death, engraven
with letters upon stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could
not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance,
which is made void: how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather in
glory? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory: much more the
ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
Explanation.
St. Paul here introduces a comparison between the
priest hood of the Old and that of the New Law, in order to show that the
dignity of the priesthood under the New Law (and consequently the respect and
confidence due to it) as far excels the dignity of the priesthood under the Old
as the spirit does the letter the truth the figure. For if the ministry of
Moses, which consisted in the service of the letter, and imparted no grace, was
so glorious, how much more glorious is that priest hood of the New Law, through
which is conveyed the sanctifying grace of God! And how much more veneration
and obedience should accordingly be paid to the priests of the New Law!
GOSPEL Luke x 23-37
At that
time Jesus said to His disciples: Blessed are the eyes that see the things
which you see. For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to
see the things that you see and have not seen them; and to hear the things that
you hear and have not heard them. And behold a certain lawyer stood up,
tempting Him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? But
He said to him: What is written in the law? How readest thou?
He
answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and
with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy
neighbor as thyself. And He said to him: Thou hast answered right: this do, and
thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is
my neighbor?
And
Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and
fell among robbers, who also stripped him: and, having wounded him, went away
leaving him half dead. And it chanced that a certain priest went down the same
way: and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near
the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being on his journey
came near him: and seeing him, was moved with compassion. And going up to him,
bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own
beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took
out two pence (worth two days wages), and gave to the host, and said: Take care
of him: and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I at my return will
repay thee. Which of these three in thy opinion was neighbor to him that fell
among the robbers? But he said: He that showed mercy to him. And Jesus said to
him: Go and do thou in like manner.
Why does Jesus call His disciples
blessed?
Because
they had the happiness which so many kings, patriarchs, and prophets had
desired in vain of seeing the Savior of the world, and of hearing His teaching.
What is it to love God?
To acknowledge God as the highest and most
perfect good; to desire that He should be known, honored, loved, by all men;
that His will should be fulfilled by all; and so zealously to observe His
commandments that we would lose all the goods of life, and even life itself,
rather than transgress these commands and be separated from God.
What does it mean to love God with
the whole heart, etc.?
“With
thy whole heart”, signifies with all the motions and inclinations of the heart
“with thy whole soul”, with all the thoughts, conceptions of the soul, “with
thy whole mind”, with all the desires, wishes, and determination of the will;
“with all thy strength”, with all the powers and faculties of body and soul
with all the acts and motions of the senses. All these should be directed to
God alone, as the last object and end of man.
How can this be done?
By
doing whatever we do, whether it be mental or manual labor, eating, drinking,
or recreation, with the intention of doing the will of God and what is pleasing
to Him. By this it is understood that idle talk, intemperance in meat and
drink, and in general all sinful works, cannot be offered to God, because they
are contrary to His will and therefore deserve punishment.
Is that true love which loves God
because He does us good?
That
love is truly good and praiseworthy, but not perfect, for self-interest creeps
in with it.
What, then, is the perfect love of
God?
When
we love God only because He is in Himself the highest good and most worthy of
love. In such manner must we endeavor to love God; not out of self-interest,
not from the expectation of reward, nor yet from fear of punishment.
Can everyone thus love God?
Yes,
for there is no state of life in which we cannot refer everything to God. Love
does not require great deeds, but that we should avoid evil, and refer
everything to God; and all can do this.
Aspiration. O Jesus, rich in love, Who hast so
earnestly exhorted us to the love of God and of our neighbor, engrave deep in
our hearts, we pray Thee, this commandment of love, that whatever we do or
leave undone, all our thoughts, words, and works, may begin and end in love of
Thee; and that no tribulation, temptation, or danger, nor even death itself,
may ever separate us from Thee. Grant, also, that out of love to Thee we may
love our neighbor, whether friend or enemy, as ourselves, and by this love may deserve
to have Thee as a Savior and merciful Judge.
Who is our neighbor?
Every
man be he a foreigner or a fellow-countryman, poor or rich, of our own religion
or of any other, a friend or an enemy.
How are we to love our
neighbor?
We
must love our neighbor as ourselves; that is, we must wish for him and do for
him what in similar circumstances we should desire for ourselves, and not wish
for him or do to him what we would not wish done to ourselves (Matt. vii. 12).
In what way are we
particularly to practice the love of our neighbor?
1.
By heartily rejoicing over the gifts and graces which our neighbor has received
from God, and by sympathizing with him in misfortune.
2.
By praying God to grant to our neighbor such gifts as St. Paul, on his knees,
besought for the Ephesians, the fulness of the knowledge of God, and of all
perfection.
3.
By overlooking and patiently bearing our neighbor’s faults, disorders, and
infirmities of every kind, as St. Paul says: “Bear ye one another’s burdens and
so you shall fulfil the law of Christ”.
4.
In general, by both the spiritual and the corporal works of mercy.
With what intention
should we love our neighbor?
We
must love our neighbor in God, and for God’s sake, because He commands it, and
because such love is pleasing to Him.
Be Not Afraid
In modern times, with all the violence that is going on in the whole world and with America at the center of any response to terror and terrorists, how should we respond? First and foremost, without fear for the Lord is our King. We should search our hearts and seek to retain a heart of peace. Our response must be measured and used with no malice. We must stop evil but not with hatred. We should love the humanity of our enemies, pray for them and do good to them if we can.
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink." (Romans 12:20)
According to the CIA
world fact book many of the countries in which we have the greatest troubles
have the lowest per capita income per person in the world. For example, per
capita in the US is $63,700 a year versus $700 in Burundi #229 and North Korea
is #214 ($1700) with Mexico@95 ($19,100) (note the US is 14th in
per capita; it is interesting to note the number one nation in per capita is Liechtenstein
at $139,100). Our enemies are hungry and used or abused by ruff creatures
of men. Imagine what could happen if we
could use the great economic power of this country to raise the good men in
these regions up: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty: to empower men
of goodwill and remove the ruff creatures of men from power.
Bernard of Clairvaux[5]
Bernard, the second founder of the Cistercians, the Mellifluous Doctor, the apostle of the Crusades, the miracle-worker, the reconciler of kings, the leader of peoples, the counselor of popes! His sermons, from which there are many excerpts in the Breviary, are conspicuous for genuine emotion and spiritual unction. The celebrated Memorare is ascribed to him. Bernard was born in 1090, the third son of an illustrious Burgundian family. At the age of twenty-two he entered the monastery of Citeaux (where the Cistercian Order had its beginning) and persuaded thirty other youths of noble rank to follow his example. Made abbot of Clairvaux (1115), he erected numerous abbeys where his spirit flourished. To his disciple, Bernard of Pisa, who later became Pope Eugene III, he dedicated his work De Consideratione. Bernard's influence upon the princes, the clergy, and the people of his age was most remarkable. By penitential practices he so exhausted his body that it could hardly sustain his soul, ever eager to praise and honor God.

SECTION
TWO-I. THE CREEDS
CHAPTER
THREE-I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Article 12-"I BELIEVE IN LIFE EVERLASTING"
IV. Hell
1033 We cannot be united with God
unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot love God if we sin gravely
against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: "He who does not
love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know
that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him." Our Lord warns us
that we shall be separated from him if we fail to meet the serious needs of the
poor and the little ones who are his brethren. To die in mortal sin
without repenting and accepting God's merciful love means remaining separated
from him forever by our own free choice. This state of definitive
self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called
"hell."
1034 Jesus often speaks of
"Gehenna" of "the unquenchable fire" reserved for those who
to the end of their lives refuse to believe and be converted, where both soul
and body can be lost. Jesus solemnly proclaims that he "will send his
angels, and they will gather . . . all evil doers, and throw them into the
furnace of fire," and that he will pronounce the condemnation:
"Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire!"
1035 The teaching of the Church
affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the
souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they
suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire." The chief
punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can
possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.
1036 The affirmations of Sacred
Scripture and the teachings of the Church on the subject of hell are a call to
the responsibility incumbent upon man to make use of his freedom in view of his
eternal destiny. They are at the same time an urgent call to conversion:
"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that
leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is
narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are
few."
Since we know
neither the day nor the hour, we should follow the advice of the Lord and watch
constantly so that, when the single course of our earthly life is completed, we
may merit to enter with him into the marriage feast and be numbered among the
blessed, and not, like the wicked and slothful servants, be ordered to depart
into the eternal fire, into the outer darkness where "men will weep and
gnash their teeth."
1037 God predestines no one to go
to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is
necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and
in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who
does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance":
Father, accept
this offering
from your
whole family.
Grant us your
peace in this life,
save us from
final damnation,
and count us
among those you have chosen.
