PASTOR'S COLUMN
February 23, 2020
Dear Parish Family:
On this final Sunday before the season of lent, the Word of God reminds us of the call to holiness, or, as Matthew describes it, the call to “be perfect.” While spiritual and bodily mortification is praiseworthy, the season of Lent is not about endurance. Years ago, the then “Father Barron” reflected on the encounter with living God in Christ as a “transformative” experience. He said that the process of conversion is often inhibited by fear. Our deepest identity is to be conformed to the person of Christ and to let his life flow through us.“To overcome fear is to move from the “pusilla anima” (the small soul) to the “magna anima” (the great soul). When we are dominated by our egos, we live in a very small space, in the “augustiae” (the straits) between this fear and that, between this attachment and that.”
(Barron, R. And Now I See, p. 5)There is hardly any better example for me of one who experienced this process of being “perfected” than the beloved “Father O.” He lived in the moment for those in his presence with the constant awareness of his goal. His statement to me days before his death that life was “ebbing away” was not a sad or regretful resignation but rather that of one looking forward to an adventure of joy. What “fears” or “pettiness” do I ask the Lord to remove from me this Lent so as to experience the genuine joy of risen life?
Yours in Christ,
Father Bill Foley
