Sunday, 13th May 2012 - Sixth Sunday of Easter

 

 

Jesus said to his disciples: “You did not choose me; no, I chose you.” Anybody who is involved in a team sport will know the tension there is in wondering if they will be picked for the team and then the delight when they are picked or the utter disappointment when they are not. Jesus has picked each one of us for his team of disciples because the task of transforming the world is so vast and because each one of us has our own unique gifts and opportunities for the task. Our responsibility is to say yes to his call and take our part in his mission. As always this begins in our homes with the most intimate relationships of human life, to make those the best they can possibly be. Our mission is also to our faith community where we have a special relationship in the Body and Blood of Christ. And it extends to the world in which we live. This week we can refresh the enthusiasm and joy of being chosen.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

 

 

 

Reflection

Scream A few weeks ago the famous painting of Edward Munch – The Scream – was sold in New York for 120 million dollars. The scream – a person stands on a bridge, holding his head between his hands, his eyes open in fear, his mouth open in screaming. The painter catches a real incident that he wrote about in his diary. For Munch, art was not the expression of the perceived world but the articulation of the subjective, inner world of feeling. Munch used the story of his own painful childhood (at the age of 5 he lost his mother and his sister a few years later) and shaped what his inner eye saw in flowing forms of simple design. Many people were affronted at his lack of good taste, for making public at what should have been kept private – personal loss and fear and an overwhelming sense of wretchedness. However an individual’s scream is the vehicle that liberates us from the capacity of kept anguish. There is much anguish in our hearts at this time.
