Homily
After John had been arrested, Jesus began to proclaim a time of fulfillment. John, the forerunner of the Messiah,
began to recede unimportance while Jesus increased as the one who brings fulfillment. For you and for me, fulfill-
ment can only happen as we make room in our lives for Jesus to increase, increase and ever more to increase in
the space where we decrease, decrease, and ever more decrease. This time of fulfillment is when God becomes our
all in all.
Saint Paul said the time is running out. It is time to act differently. He does not mean change aimlessly from day to
day. He means change in the way that will make you ready for the judgment day.
Do you know someone who has changed his or her life because something was wrong and needed to be fixed? I
do. His name is Mark Wahlberg, better known to some as "Marky Mark". Mark got married in August of 2009 to
his girlfriend of eight years, with whom he had three children. Their marriage took place at Good Shepherd
Catholic Church in Beverly Hills. Both bride and groom said they wanted to make a commitment and to provide a
good home for their children. They become one in a Catholic marriage in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. In
an interview, Mark said he was ashamed of most of the movies he had made in his life, and he did not want his
children to see his old movies. Last week, I went to see Mark's new movie "Contraband". I was interested to find
out if it was any different from his previous movies. It was full of action and tough guy talk, but there were no
raunchy sex scenes. So Mark Wahlberg is one Catholic father who heard the warning to clean up his act and
mended his ways. Well done.
And well done to each one of us, my friends, when we see the need to mend our ways. Our shame because of past
thoughts and actions can lead us into a new time of fulfillment. If any of us thinks we have nothing to warrant
shame, then our standards are too low. If any of us says yes, then may shame lead to an examination of conscience
and to a good confession. For help in an examination of conscience, I recommend using the Ten Commandments
from Exodus chapter twenty, and the Beatitudes from Matthew chapter five.
God is still sizing up our lives according to a very high standard of behavior. Jonah preached repentance to the
Ninevites, and all of them were spared because they humbled themselves, both great and small, and put on sack-
cloth. We do not need to put on sackcloth to repent - we have each other. Mending our ways, as fathers and
mothers, and husbands and wives, as brothers and sisters, as priest and parishioners, can seem at times to be like
wearing sackcloth because it is so uncomfortable. In that holy discomfort, may we decrease so that God may in-
crease, and may the promised time of fulfillment come upon us.

Homily Después de que Juan fue arrestado, Jesús comenzó a proclamar un tiempo de realización. Juan, el predecesor del Mesías, comenzó a perder importancia mientras Jesús crecía como el que trae la reali-zación. Para ustedes y para mí, la realización sólo puede ocurrir cuando le hacemos espacio a Jesús en nuestras vidas para crecer, crecer y crecer cada vez más en el espacio que disminuimos, disminuimos y disminuimos cada vez más. Este tiempo de realización es cuando Dios se convierte en nuestro todo en todo. San Pablo dijo que el tiempo se está acabando. Es tiempo de actuar de forma diferente. No se refiere a cambiar sin objetivo día a día. Quiere decir cambiar de una manera que te preparará para el día del juicio. ¿Conoce a alguien que ha cambiado su vida porque algo estaba mal y necesitaba arreglarse? Yo si. Su nombre es Mark Wahlberg, mejor conocido para algunos como “Marky Mark”. Mark se casó en agosto del 2009 con su novia de ocho años, con quien tenía tres hijos. Su matrimonio tuvo lugar en la Iglesia Católica el Buen Pastor en Beverly Hills. Tanto el novio como la novia dijeron que querían ha-cer un compromiso y ofrecer un buen hogar para sus hijos. En un matrimonio Católico se convierten en uno en el Santo Sacramento del Matrimonio. En una entrevista, Mark dijo que se sentía avergon-zado de la mayoría de las películas que había realizado en su vida, y no quería que sus hijos vieran sus películas antiguas. La semana pasada, fui a ver la nueva película de Mark “Contrabando”. Estaba in-teresado en saber si era diferente de sus películas anteriores. Estaba llena de acción y palabras de tipo rudo pero no hubo escenas de sexo obsceno. Así que Mark Wahlberg es un padre Católico que escuchó la advertencia de limpiar sus actos y enmendar sus caminos. Bien hecho. Y bien hecho a cada uno de nosotros, mis amigos, cuando vemos la necesidad de enmendar nuestros caminos. Nuestra vergüenza debido a pensamientos y acciones pasadas nos pueden llevar a un nuevo tiempo de realización. Si cualquiera de nosotros piensa que no tiene nada para merecer vergüenza, entonces nuestros criterios son muy bajos. Si cualquiera de nosotros dice que si, entonces que la ver-güenza nos lleve a un examen de conciencia y a una buena confesión. Para obtener ayuda con un ex-amen de conciencia, le recomiendo que use los Diez Mandamientos de Exodo, capítulo veinte, y las Bienaventuranzas de Mateo, capítulo cinco. Dios todavía evalúa nuestras vidas de acuerdo a un estándar muy elevado de conducta. Jonás predicó el arrepentimiento a los ninivitas, y todos ellos se libraron porque se humillaron, tanto grandes como pequeños, y se vistieron de sayal. No necesitamos vestirnos de sayal para arrepentirnos – nos tenemos unos a otros. Enmendando nuestros caminos, como padres y madres, y esposos y esposas, como hermanos y hermanas, como sacerdotes y feligreses, puede parecer a veces que llevamos vesti-dos de sayal porque es muy incómodo. Que en esa santa incomodidad, podamos disminuir para que Dios pueda crecer y que el tiempo prometido de la realización venga sobre nosotros. Father Bryon Dickey
