Night Surrender to Praise at Dawn – Nov. 16, 2021

“In the middle of the night I hold hands with trust and surrender to the One who sees without a light… My prayer travels deep into my soul space, into the essence of my being.

Rising from sleep, I raise high the chalice of my life. Dressed in robes of joyful anticipation, I enter this day with an open heart. This is the awakening hour. This is the hour of praise. ‘O medicine of dawn; O healing drink of morning!’ Offering both words and silence, I join in the dance of creation.”

–Macrina Wiederkehr, Seven Sacred Pauses: Living Mindfully Through the Hours of the Day, p. 29 and 47

The Ascent to God

Photo by Jakub Stekla on Unsplash

Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time | USCCB

Because God is merciful, it has been His will that those who love Him and are willing to put Him above the things of this world may receive even in this life the two hundredfold that He promised. Consequently, we have the Beatitudes which Jesus preached on the hill.

And even though we see them through the shadows of our human imperfection which means that we are not able to fully comprehend while we are here in this valley of tears called earth, the Beatitudes are a roadmap towards reaching eternal happiness.

The Beatitudes can be a source of consolation for those who hunger for love and thirst for happiness.

The Beatitudes are a whisper, a breath of new life for souls who have longed for a word of hope, if they are willing to hear it, it can be found in the Beatitudes. They are a breath of fresh air, to inspire us to live in those highest places that God has for those who follow Him, letting us be carried away by Him to the highest spiritual places, unafraid because “He will raise you up on eagles' wings, He will shelter you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge” (Ps. 91)

The Beatitudes are an ascending chain of mountains where every peak is a step which gets us closer and closer to God.

Each of the Beatitudes is, in the words of Saint Thomas Aquinas, “something perfect and excellent—a peak unto itself, and at the same time it is the beginning of the happiness to come even in this life.”

All of the Beatitudes are noble ideal peaks, but there is a constant ascension from the beginning all the way to the very last one, that promises us heaven itself.

It begins with the freedom of detachment, or letting go that spiritual poverty gives us, then the cleansing waterfall of mournful tears; after which comes the fullness of justice and the gentleness of mercy. And there, very close to heaven, there is the light of purity, the peace that only love can give and the ectasis of martyrdom.

When Jesus let His lips be opened to reveal to us the mysteries of the Beatitudes, He painted for us a landscape of the spiritual ascent towards that happiness AND the qualities that must be possessed by those who aspire to ascend the stairway that leads to heaven where the Beatitudes lead.

Through the Beatitudes, Jesus was painting a self-portrait. A portrait of Himself AND the portrait of the qualities He desires in each of His disciples. Jesus is poor in spirit and mourns and weeps over His people, Jesus is meek and humble of heart. Jesus hungers and thirsts for righteousness. Jesus desires mercy and is pure and clean of heart. Jesus seeks peace and turns the other cheek when his beard was plucked and when he was spat on. He is persecuted for announcing the Kingdom of God is at hand.

The first step for him or her who desires the blessedness described by the Beatitudes is to be willing to sincerely, totally and completely give up the false and passing joys of this world.

For over twenty-one centuries, the antidote against the frivolous life and the misleading happiness, like honors, wealth, the material things that can be suddenly lost; the antidote to these frivolous things, has been found in the pages of the gospels:

We are cautioned in Luke 6: Woe to you, who now receive all your consolation.

“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you,…” (Lk 6:24-26) Unfortunately, many people don’t take the time to learn how to read the Gospels and what this warning means. They become fascinated by the things of the world and no longer take time to find out what the Word of God means in our lives. That is why there are less and less people willing to be happy.

It is hard to take our love away from the things that don’t deserve our love like wealth and the things that can be taken by others like cars, and anything that is outside of us or anything that others can manipulate like our reputation, our prestige.

It is hard to take our love away from those things, to give it all to Jesus. Those things do deserve our attention, yes. They do deserve an important place, but love? No!

Happiness, real happiness is peace of mind. Real happiness is being at peace. Often, when Jesus first greeted people he told them, “Do not be afraid”. Another way of saying “do not be afraid” would be, “be without anxiety”, or “be at peace”, or “be free from anxiety and fear” which is being at peace, therefore, real happiness, is a sense of not being afraid, not being anxious, being at peace.

So, happiness can’t be found in the things purely of this world.

The Kingdom of God is inside of you. Because the Kingdom of God can’t be found in things. It can’t be found in food, or in drink, it is found in justice, in peace and the joy of the Holy Spirit that we can only find through Christ.

Luke 12:32-40 - Don't Be Afraid to Give

"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay.” Thich Nhat Hanh

The Good Shepherd by He Qi “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “Be dressed ready for service…

Happy feast of Saint Luke the evangelist ☦❤

Born in Antioch, he witnessed Christ's miracles and listened to His preaching, and decided to follow Him. He was one of the 70 apostoles and was sent to spread the gospel. He wrote the Gospel at the request of other christians in his sixties. He is considered the founder of icon painting, painted three icons of Theotokos, who he met, and icons of St. apostoles Peter and Paul. At 84., idolaters hanged him for Christs sake in city of Thebes in Boeotia. His relicts were transfered to Constantinople during the reign of emperor Constantius.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

NOEL ROOKE

In the mid 1920s, the Golden Cockerel Press embarked on producing a number of small quartos with stories taken from the Bible. One of the first of these volumes was The Birth of Christ with text taken from the Gospel of St. Luke and published in 1925. At this time, wood engraver and fine-press printer Robert Gibbings (1889-1958) was proprietor of the press, and his old teacher from the Central School of Art and Design, Noel Rooke (1881-1953), provided these engravings for the book. Rooke was a seminal figure in the revival of wood engraving, and both Rooke and Gibbings were among the ten original co-founders of Britain's Society of Wood Engravers.

Although he was a little older than Gibbings, Rooke's style was more traditional than Gibbings's, and in his work he provided a link between the fine presses of the previous century and the work of contemporary printers. The Birth of Christ, printed in an edition of 370 copies, was well-regarded when it came out. Bernard Newdigate (1869-1944), manager of the Shakespeare Head Press, noted in a review in the London Mercury, "I like this little book better than any other from the Golden Cockerel Press I have yet seen."

Rooke was also responsible for the book's layout and design, which when compared to Golden Cockerel's other Biblical works of this period, was as Roderick Cave and Sarah Manson put it, "a throwback, an oddity." We don't know how Gibbings felt about it, but although Gibbings and Rooke remained friends for the rest of their lives, Rooke never illustrated another book for Golden Cockerel.

We enjoy the engravings and the book, however. Our copy is another donation of the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick, who maintained an interest in Christian theology.

Some Catholic commentary for Louis' dates (and name)

So I've recently got to rewatch IWTV again and wanted to dive into a whole bunch of meta posts, with my hope to eventually make a master post of everything to add to my pinned post, but essentially if you'd like to follow along to any, you can find these and a few previous ones (as well as a few reblog geek outs) under "Kats Catholic Commentary" on my blog ❤️

But let's dive right in, shall we?

Now, to add a quick disclaimer, who knows if these are just happenstance or were done intentionally, but my Catholic senses are tingling and allow me a moment to geek out as I try to connect some of these points to a full circle ~

October 4th - is the feast day of St. Francis, a date set by the Church way back in 1228, and at first I was going to make some tongue in cheek reference to the patron Saint of animals and Louis' diet of animal blood lol, but then -

I figured well, let's see if St. Louis' feast day is on the same day, because sometimes Catholic families like to give their kids the names of the Saint's feast day they're born. But nope, St. Louis' feast day is back in August, HOWEVER guess what???

St. Louis is co patron of the Franciscan tertiaries (yes, as in St. Francis) and the Archdiocese of New Orleans!!

I'm already geeking out, and then I look up October 18th, and it's St. Luke's feast day - the Evangelist and Gospel author of the Book of St. Luke - the disciple who traveled with Paul

Why yes, Paul, as in Louis' brother in the show - and part of me wonders if Grace knew the significance of the date she picked? Wanted to imagine her two brothers traveling together in the after life? If that was easier to imagine then her current reality?

So, again, maybe it's just all a random coincidence, but I think it's nice to imagine Louis' family applied some meaning to both his name, and the chosen "death" date to reflect their faith.
