Chapter Nine - Why Worry?
There is a song by the British group Dire Straits in their Brothers in
Arms album, “Why Worry”. And worry is the final obstacle to enduring
happiness. The song speaks about the inevitability of problems in our lives and troubles in the world. It also reminds us of the hope that brings us through dark times. It has always been this way, so why do we spend so much of our time and energy consumed with worry? The things you worry about as a child, in high school and college, in relationships, professionally and financially, in relation to health and well-being, in relation to the people you love. This also includes the things you worry about in relation to finding the balance between accepting yourself for who you are and challenging yourself to be all you are capable of being. We worry about a lot of things, don’t we? Our minds begin to race with things that we need to do, or things we need to tell others about. Then we begin to construct different scenarios for how a certain situation is going to work out. Things very, very rarely work out the way we think they will. And the way we think things will work out is the major source of worry. So why worry? The reason, of course, is that we want to be in control. Worry creates the illusion that we have some element of control. Worry doesn’t solve anything, but by worrying we convince ourselves that we are doing something about a situation that is entirely out of our control. The reality is that we usually have little or no control over the things we worry about. If we had control over them, we would act. It is not being able to act that usually causes us to worry. Worry is self-deception. Worry is often both from our unwillingness to admit that we are powerless over a certain situation or circumstance. Our desperation to maintain control is an indicator that we don’t truly believe that God loves us, will provide for us, and most of all, that he has saved us. To greater or lesser extents all attempts to control situations, other people, and ourselves, swell from a misguided belief that we need to save our-selves and others. We don’t. That work has been done. Situations that make us nervous or uncomfortable and circumstances that are heartbreaking are an inevitable part of the human experience. We must each find a way to maintain our inner peace even in the midst of these times. Otherwise worry will be the thief that steals our peace of mind and any chance of enduring happiness. I don’t want to pretend that we do not experience problems and suffering and death, because these things are real. They are, however, a part of our experience, part of the journey, and part of the process of becoming perfectly yourself. Suffering, challenges, and problems are necessary for our growth. Without these, it is just so easy to become complacent and self-satisfied. It is sad to say, but sadly true. When things go wrong we tend to focus on God more, and the things he invites us to focus on. But Jesus was clear that all our worry and anxiety couldn’t change anything (cf. Matthew 6:27). The soul is work, and soul work takes time and constant
Catholic Social Teaching
33rd Sunday in Ordinary time: The liturgical year draws to a close with reminders that being a disciple of Jesus is not easy. Faithfulness to Christ will bring opposition and ridicule. We may stand up against abortion, or torture or the death penalty. We may speak out for immigrants, refugees and the poor. These positions might cause others to reject us. We are privileged to be disciples – brothers and sisters of Jesus, but like his road, ours will involve the cross. Trigésimo Tercero Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario El año litúrgico se comienza a cerrar recordándonos que ser un discípulo de Jesús no es fácil. La fidelidad a Cristo nos traerá oposición y ridículo. Podemos levantarnos contra el aborto, o la tortura, o la pena de muerte. Puede que hablemos por los inmigrantes, refugiados y pobres. Estas posiciones pueden causar que otros nos rechacen. Somos privilegiados de ser discípulos – hermanos y hermanas de Jesús, pero al igual que su camino, el nuestro también implicará la cruz.
