“<br />
Fr. Pat’s Corner . . .<br />
They offered gifts to the new born King:<br />
And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them,<br />
until it came and stopped over the place where the child was….<br />
and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.<br />
They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened<br />
their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and<br />
myrrh..” (Matthew 2:9b-11)<br />
This Sunday’s Gospel shows us Jesus as an innocent and<br />
trusting child.<br />
When adults are confronted by the birth of one so innocent,<br />
they naturally ponder the wonder of life and the purity of the<br />
truth a child reveals to us. The innocence and trust of a new<br />
born child can force us to re-imagine ourselves in the light of<br />
who we have allowed ourselves to become.<br />
A child trusts because he must! To betray the trust of a child<br />
is to violate truth itself. When we approach a trusting child<br />
we can feel the weight of our own sins. If our lives have become<br />
a sham to cover up a life of hatred and anger we are<br />
faced with the truth of our lives and who we have become.<br />
The realization of that evil causes great shame and selfhatred.<br />
We don’t even like ourselves. We know inside that<br />
we are wrong to pretend to be a loving person to a child.<br />
For when that child senses our falseness they might cry or<br />
fear our approach.<br />
How did Jesus receive the Wise Men?<br />
How would He receive us – today?<br />
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become {trust} like a<br />
children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.<br />
(Matthew 18:3)<br />
If our lives have become a sham – we need to reinvent ourselves<br />
by asking for the help of one powerful enough to help<br />
– JESUS the King!<br />
Perhaps, we too, should join the Three Kings and fall prostrate<br />
before the Lord of all Creation (in the Child Jesus) to<br />
beg for forgiveness.<br />
Jesus offers this forgiveness in The Sacrament of Reconciliation!<br />
Reinvent yourself! …Go to Confession this week. Jesus<br />
will help you!<br />
To discuss any of this, Call me any time at: 414-581-2397.<br />
Thank you!<br />
May God bless you, -Fr. Pat
