THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD—FEBRUARY 2, 2014

A CHRISTMAS REPRISE

The Church’s celebration three weeks ago of the Bap-tism of the Lord signaled the “official” end of the Christmas season. Today’s feast of the Presentation of the Lord seems to extend the Incarnation celebration a bit longer. In fact, some have called this feast a “second Epiphany.”

The first reading recalls the anticipation of Advent, as Malachi writes, “Lo, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me.” The reading from He-brews reminds us of the Incarnation, proclaiming that Jesus had a “share” in our own “blood and flesh.” The Gospel finds the infant Jesus on his first visit to Jerusa-lem and his human parents once again surprised and in awe over the events surround his birth.

In the simplicity of the manger, in the grandeur of the temple, in the domesticity of Nazareth, Jesus comes. May we come to know him and so be filled with “wisdom” and the “favor of God.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — There will come to the temple the LORD whom you seek (Malachi 3:1-4). Psalm — Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord! (Psalm 24). Second Reading — Jesus had to become like his brothers and sisters in every way to help the descend-ants of Abraham (Hebrews 2:14-18). Gospel — The just and pious Simeon proclaims the infant Jesus to be a revealing light to the Gentiles, the glory of the people Israel (Luke 2:22-40 [22-32]).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK

Monday: 2 Sm 15:13-14, 30; 16:5-13; Ps 3:2-7; Mk 5:1-20 Tuesday: 2 Sm 18:9-10, 14b, 24-25a, 30 — 19:3; Ps 86:1-6; Mk 5:21-43 Wednesday: 2 Sm 24:2, 9-17; Ps 32:1-2, 5-7; Mk 6:1-6 Thursday: 1 Kgs 2:1-4, 10-12; 1 Chr 29:10-12; Mk 6:7-13 Friday: Sir 47:2-11; Ps 18:31, 47, 50, 51; Mk 6:14- 29 Saturday: 1 Kgs 3:4-13; Ps 119:9-14; Mk 6:30-34 Sunday: Is 58:7-10; Ps 112:4-9; 1 Cor 2:1-5; Mt 5:13-16

OUR FAMILIES

Excerpt from “Letter to Families from Pope John Paul II, Gratissimam Sane”

“The Marital Covenant”

“The family has always been considered as the first and basic expression of man’s social nature. Even to-day this way of looking at things remains unchanged. Nowadays, however, emphasis tends to be laid on how much the family, as the smallest and most basic human community, owes to the personal contribution of a man and a woman. The family is in fact a community of persons whose proper way of existing and living to-gether is communion: communion personarum. Here too, while always acknowledging the absolute tran-scendence of the Creator with regard to his creatures, we can see the family’s ultimate relationship to the divine ‘We’. Only persons are capable of living ‘in communion’. The family originates in a marital com-munion described by the Second Vatican Council as a “covenant”, in which man and woman “give them-selves to each other and accept each other”.

The Book of Genesis helps us to see this truth when it states...that ‘a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh’ (Gen 2:24).”

Dlaczego ślub kościelny cz. 4 Religijną sytuację miłości małżeńskiej spróbuję naszkicować na tle ogólniejszym. Zwró-cę najpierw uwagę na to, jak dalece dobro, które czynimy i którym żyjemy, może być dwuznaczne. Sądzę, że w świetle zaproponowanego opisu sens sakramentu małżeństwa ukaże się nam niejako automatycznie. MIŁOŚĆ WIĘKSZA NIŻ ŚMIERĆ ? Nie każda miłość jest większa niż śmierć. Miłość musi nieraz długo dojrzewać, zanim przekroczy tę granicę, poza którą czas i materia, choć nadal udzielają jej miejsca, już jej w sobie nie zamykają. Tylko taka miłość trwa na zawsze, również wówczas, kiedy śmierć ciała wyrwie ją z czasu i materii. Ale zwykła ludzka miłość jest śmiertelna tak jak sam człowiek. Tę podatność miłości na śmierć wiara chrześcijańska tłumaczy grzesznością człowieka. Pustoszące działanie grzechu na tym właśnie polega, że grzech przecina otwarcie człowieka poza docze-sność, zamyka go całkowicie i bez reszty w czasoprzestrzeni. Prymitywizujemy sobie grzech, jeśli sądzimy, że czyni on niezdolnym do przeżyć duchowych. Przecież nawet zbrodniarz może być kochającym ojcem lub wytrawnym znawcą sztuki. Grzech jest oj-cem śmierci, toteż wcale nie musi czynić człowieka zupełnym zwierzęciem: nie musi niszczyć do końca duchowych wymiarów w człowieku, wystarczy, że je wtłoczy w ramy doczesności, podda je śmierci. Sakramenty zostały nam dane właśnie jako grzesznikom. Moc Chrystusa przywraca te-mu, co duchowe, pierwotną transcendencję wobec doczesności, wyzwala od śmierci. W języku religijnym powiadamy, że Chrystus gładzi nasze grzechy. Prawda, że w Chrystu-sie widzimy kogoś więcej niż Odkupiciela z grzechów. Jest On Synem Bożym. Toteż przekroczenie śmierci dokonuje się w nas najistotniej przez miłość, która przychodzi z góry, miłość przebóstwiającą człowieka. To jest drugi aspekt tej samej tajemnicy. Rów-nież sakrament małżeństwa został nam dany ze względu na naszą grzeszność. Brzmi to zapewne mało wzniośle, ale dobrze wyraża istotę tego sakramentu. Polega on na tym, że dwoje ludzi przychodzi do Tego, który ma moc czynić ludzką miłość większą od śmierci. Toteż sens sakramentu małżeństwa może najbardziej rozumieją ci chrześcija-nie, którzy szczególnie zaznali piękna i sensu miłości. Przypominają się tu słowa Ewan-gelii, że kto ma, temu będzie dane jeszcze więcej, a kto nie ma, temu odbiorą nawet to, co ma. Na czym konkretnie polega pomoc Boża, która przywraca miłości małżeńskiej jej wy-miar ponaddoczesny? Doktrynalne wyjaśnienia brzmią zawsze nieporadnie. Jest to bo-wiem nie tyle problem do wyjaśnienia, co tajemnica, którą się przeżywa lub nie. Mówić jednak o tym trzeba, bo choćby nieudolne nazywanie tego, co się przeżywa, pogłębia samo przeżycie i pomaga dzielić się z innymi. Otóż tradycyjna nauka katolicka rozróżnia trzy owoce sakramentu małżeństwa: sakrament przenosi w wymiar nadprzyrodzony wzajemną miłość i wychowanie dzieci oraz daje moc do zachowania wierności.
