"FIRST IMPRESSIONS"

By Jude Siciliano, OP 22nd Sunday -C-

September 1, 2019

www.preacherexchange

.com/latest.htm

Jesus seems out of character in the advice he gives today to his host,

"one of the leading Pharisees." Is he assuming the role of a social consult-

ant, advising ambitious people how to get ahead while avoiding public

embarrassment? If you want a higher, or more prominent place, at an

important function then choose the lower seat. Then your host will publical-

ly usher you to a higher place at the table. You’ll look great and everyone

will note your moment of glory! Who wouldn’t want such an esteemed

place and the admiring, envious glances of peers? So, is Jesus suggesting

a pretense of humility to get the first place at important gatherings?

This doesn’t sound like the Jesus who had a bad reputation for eating with

the disreputable. His table companions certainly wouldn’t have merited for

Jesus a, "Here, come up higher," from a leading Pharisee. He is not sug-

gesting a feint in the direction of humility to earn public esteem. He is do-

ing what he has consistently done, teaching his disciples to be truly hum-

ble, putting aside ambition for worldly honors.

Jesus isn’t suggesting we slack off at school; work less diligently at our

jobs; not accept compliments for the good things we do. He wants us to

use our talents as best we can since they are gifts from God and will not

only benefit us, but can be used for the well being of others. But Jesus is

reminding us that, behind all our attempts to work hard and do good for

others, we must reflect on our reasons for doing what we do. As Christians

we try to share the gifts of life we have, not to stand out, but so that others

can stand up with us, relish life and celebrate the God who has blessed

us.

Even more than now, in the ancient Near East, meals were guided by strict

rules: the guests were carefully chosen; the foods specially selected; the

seating arrangements scrupulously determined. There may not have been

place cards, but people had their assigned places nevertheless. Jesus

may have been the one invited to dine by his host, but before the meal

even started, Jesus became the host, as he suggested a change in the

rigid seating arrangements and instructed people about the seats they had

chosen.

Remember that this is a Sabbath meal. The very people Jesus says we

should invite to a "banquet" are those who would have been excluded from

the Sabbath meal at this distinguished Pharisee’s home, and possibly from

the synagogue itself, because their social or physical condition would have

labeled them as sinners. But the Sabbath meal was to be a place that

celebrated God’s choice of an enslaved people and God’s gift of liberation

for them. When God found them, the Israelites were slaves. God reversed

their condition and invited them to the table. The Sabbath meal not only

celebrated God’s gracious actions on their behalf, but it also reminded

them that they were to do for others what had been done for them: free the

enslaved; welcome the stranger; care for children and protect the widows.

I am sure Jesus doesn’t want us to stop having meals and sharing special

occasions with those nearest and dearest to us. That’s not what he means

when he turns to the Pharisee who is hosting him and tells him to invite

those to lunch or dinner who can’t return the favor. If we make a point to

invite the least, "the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind...," then

while at table with them, we might enter into new relationships. Not only

would the poor be fed, but we would discover the Christ who identifies most

closely with them.

Those neglected by our society not only need our material gifts, they also

need the dignity that comes with being acknowledged; they need the gift of

our friendship – and we need theirs as well. Together with them, we will

experience the God Jesus has revealed to us, who loves us, not because

we are distinguished or esteemed in our world, but because God has cho-

sen to love us, rich and poor, haves and have-nots. The reality is that we

seldom, if ever, go outside our social and familial circles. Sitting at table

with one another will remind us of what God has done for us and who we all

are, children of a loving and caring God, who has gifted each of us, whether

we are hosting the meal, or called in from the highways and byways of life

to share in it.

No, Jesus hasn’t had a shift in character. He isn’t suggesting subtle ways to

climb the social ladder so as to get places of esteem and influence. Rather,

he wants those who have, to reach out to those who have not. And if we sit

across the table from each other, who knows where our conversations will

lead?

Imagine the dinner scene: food and drink being passed and people who

previously didn’t know one another, involved in animated conversation.

What might we hear at the table as we get to know the guests we have

invited? We might hear and come to understand their need for: food and

shelter; protection of their rights; good and safe schools for their children; a

voice to speak out on their behalf in the community; health care and medi-

cine for their families; help to process legal documents; employment, etc.

We rarely get to know those whose lives are at the other end of the spec-

trum from us. But if we did, by having a dinner together, or initiating a con-

versation with them, we might come to recognize the others as unique per-

sons and we might come to know their needs as well. Then, first hand, we

will know what we must do to be Jesus’ faithful disciples.

Of course, it wouldn’t all be sad talk, would it? At table, we would share

stories of our family origins, our children’s antics, recipes and traditions. At

table we would discover how much we have in common as human beings;

we would see less of what separates us and more of what unites us. Are we

being too idealistic? Are we describing a purely imaginative scene that has

no parallels in the "real world?" Maybe. But here at Eucharist we are gath-

ered around a shared meal. The kind Jesus has described. He has invited

us and we have accepted the invitation. Granted, our parish communities

can be pretty homogenous, but if we look a little more closely, we will notice

more than enough diversity, especially these days in our very mobile world

and with the arrival of so many immigrants.

There are many differences that would keep us separate. Nevertheless,

here we are, together at the same table. We will listen to our common fami-

ly story. It goes all the way back to Abraham and Sarah and to such sages

as Sirach, in our first reading. In our worship our story focuses on Jesus

and his Spirit makes his words relevant to our day. We may be very differ-

ent in the world, but here at Eucharist we are family. What have we learned

about one another at this table? When we leave this worship space, what

can we do for others, those whom Jesus would have us love the way he

loves them? +

Remembering the Sick in Prayer

We have been invited to the table of God’s grace. With humility, we present

to him our needs.

That the Church may draw every human being, with welcome and joy, to the

Kingdom of God and to eternal salvation.

For the priests serving in this Diocese, that they will have a deepened sense

of reverence.

For all those called to the priesthood or consecrated life in this Diocese, that

they will walk in the yoke of the Lord and learn from him.

That as Christian Stewards we will recognize that all we have is a gift from

God and we will use those gifts to serve Him and others.

That elected officials may serve with the humility that recognizes that hu-

man rights come from God, not from government.

That God may bring his peace to the lonely, to prisoners, to the abandoned,

to the poor, and to the unborn.

That those who care for the sick may grow in compassion, and always re-

flect the face and heart of Christ.

That all who have died may be purified of sin and enjoy the vision of God

forever.

Lord, look upon our friends with eyes of mercy, may your

healing hand rest upon them, may your life giving powers

flow into every cell of their bodies and into the depths of

their souls, leaning, purifying, restoring them to wholeness

and strength for service in your Kingdom. Amen

Stewardship Reflection: September 1, 2019

Sunday Connection

Loyola Press www.loyolapress.com/our-catholic-faith/liturgical-year/sunday-connection/

First Reading: Sirach 3:17-18,20,28-29

Humble yourself and you will find favor with God

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 68:4-7,10-11

The just rejoice and exult before God.

Second Reading: Hebrews 12:18-19,22-24

You have approached Mount Zion and the city of

the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.

Gospel Reading: Luke 14:1,7-14

When you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the

blind.

Background on the Gospel Reading: Meals played an important role in

the society in which Jesus lived. More than a time for sharing nourish-

ment, they were a time to share ideas and to model different aspects of

social relationships. In Luke's Gospel, the places that a person ate (at the

home of a tax collector, 5:29), the people with whom a person ate

(sinners, 5:30), whether a person washed before eating (11:38), and, as is

the case here, the place that a person sits while eating are all important.

The narrator says Jesus tells a parable, but it is really wise advice to both

guests and hosts about finding true happiness at the heavenly banquet.

Jesus warns guests to wait before taking their places at the table lest they

be asked to move if someone more important arrives. This is more than

just a lesson about dinner etiquette. It is advice on how to find your true

place in the Kingdom of God. Jesus advises hosts not to invite people

who would be expected to repay them to dinner but to invite those who

could not repay: the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. This is

where real blessings can be found.

In these sayings, Luke gives us not only advice on how to approach the

end times but also on how to live according to Jesus' vision of a good

society. Luke's Gospel also advises us how the Church must be part of

bringing about this society. It is yet another example in Luke's Gospel of

the reversal the kingdom brings about. +

First Friday Adoration is September 6th

3:00 pm Holy Hour Begins

4:00 pm Chaplet of the Sacred Heart

5:45 pm Benediction

6:30 pm Mass

Today’s readings remind us of a chief virtue that characterizes the Christian steward:

humility. This is a virtue that is widely thought of as a form of self-abasement. That

understanding, however, is off the mark. Humility is simply the awareness of who (and

Whose) we truly are. On one hand, we are children of the Most High God who loved

us into existence and who, by virtue of our Baptism, have the Holy Trinity dwelling

within us. On the other hand, we are children who are completely dependent on God

for our existence and for every breath we take.

Our Lord speaks of true humility in our Gospel passage from Luke, telling the parable

of the guests invited to a wedding banquet and instructing us not to seek a place of

honor at the banquet table, lest a more distinguished guest arrives and we are asked

to move to a lower place.

Jesus has much more in mind here than an etiquette lesson. He is reminding us that

all glory belongs to God. The visual image He offers in having to slink down to a lower

seat at the table points out how silly we are when we forget to give God the credit for

our blessings and talents. On the other hand, when we live in humility —recognizing

that all we have is a gift from God and using those gifts to serve Him and others —

then God “exalts” us by filling us with even more of Himself and His grace.

Jesus goes on to encourage us to serve and share our blessings with people facing

circumstances that would make it impossible for them offer us any worldly advantage

or prestige— “the poor, the crippled, the lame.”

Our attitude and the way in which we serve and share should be centered on true

humility — recognizing that we are all “little” ones in the eyes of God. We are all His

children; brothers and sisters invited to our Father’s heavenly banquet. +

Philippians 4:19

“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes: but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will

cease from yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8.
