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.
