Fr. Tom’s Message
As I sit in the woods on retreat far away from any library, I wirelessly scanned the readings for this Sunday. I swear I could hear my grandmother’s voice in the crowd at Nazareth, a small town like Placerville. All small towns and small-town attitudes are pretty much alike.
“That Bar Joseph boy, that Jesus,” she said to me, “he’s just getting too big for his britches. Like you are
sometimes, Tommy.”Too big for your britches wasn’t an observation about waist size, but ego size. According to the Oxford English dictionary’s etymology website (available even in the woods), the phrase was probably coined in the 1830s by American legend Davy Crockett, the erstwhile “king of the wild frontier.” Writing critically about his former commander and later political foe Andrew Jackson, he wrote “When a man gets too big for his breeches, I say Good-bye.”So what was behind the rejection of Jesus by his townsfolk? Some of it was jealousy, no doubt. He had gathered a following. People were talking about him. He was talking above their heads about things only the learned and wise were supposed to understand. How dare he?!? “Too big for his britches!” or whatever the equivalent of britches was in those days. The good townsfolk of Nazareth had watched Jesus grow up, knew his kith and kin, and resolved to be unimpressed. “Whatever those other people are saying about him, well, that may well be, but we know better. Nothing that good ever came out of here, and never will.”Therein is the sad truth of the tale: they refused to be astonished because they’d given up on the possibility that anything new or good, or godly, could happen to them in their little backwater. To use the favorite word of a more contemporary politician, anything else was “malarkey” pure and simple. Nobody knows where that word came from, but we all know what it means. But the word that Jesus spoke wasn’t malarkey, nor was he too big for his britches. Impelled by love and in the power of the Spirit he spoke divine words out of the depths of his earthy, grounded humanity, and he was altogether too much for his neighbors. In another telling of the story, they thought he was mad, and we’re ready to throw him off the brow of the hill that Nazareth was built on. And significantly, their rejection, their lack of faith drained his words and his touch of their power. He was unable to do marvelous deeds there. Those who resolve not to see or hear will not see or hear, no matter what bright light is shone or how much volume is amped up around them.
Jesus didn’t give up, nor did he call down fire and brimstone on his hometown. He did his best, spoke to those who would listen, and the witness of his followers swayed some. What he said and did rang true, and slowly, gently the word got out. Faith in Jesus began to bloom, faith in the goodness of God and the power of God to do something entirely new overturned the world-weariness of Nazareth’s everywhere.Not all hearts were changed, of course, and Jesus’ truth-telling led to his brutal execution. Yet in his death, the greatest revelation of all occurred: that God’s love is more powerful than death itself, and God’s life is passed on to us in this community. And in this community, if we dare to open our ears, we can hear of the wonderful works of God then and now.The power of God is never intrusive: it will not batter down the city gates, but rather needs only a tiny opening, a mere invitation before it can enter in and make all things new. Small-town Nazareth wasn’t ready for Jesus, and neither was Jerusalem, or Rome, or even Sacramento. Nobody ever really is. If we dare to hope, to open our eyes, we will see how God’s power can be manifested even in our little village, in our weakness, despite our doubts, or fears, or even our skepticism. Not malarkey. Just our saving hope. Blessings,
Fr. Tom Lucas S.J.
Too big for your britches…

Saints Unseen: Kateri Tekakwitha
St. Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American to be recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. She was born in 1656, in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon in upstate New York, and her name Kateri is the Mohawk form of Catherine, which she took from St. Catherine of Siena when she was baptized. Her mother was an Algonquin, who was captured by the Mohawks and married the Mohawk chief.During the last years of her life, Kateri endured great suffering from a serious illness. She died on April 17, 1680, shortly before her 24th birthday, and was buried in present-day Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada. Tradition holds that Kateri’s final words were. . .”Jesus, I love you.” Witnesses reported that within a few minutes of her death, the pockmarks from smallpox completely vanished and her face shone with radiant loveliness.Fifty years after Kateri’s death, the first convent for Native American nuns was established in Mexico and they prayed daily for sainthood for Blessed Kateri. Their prayers were answered on October 21, 2012, when Kateri, “The Lily of the Mohawks” was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI as the first Native American woman to be honored with sainthood. Saint Kateri is the patroness of ecology and the environment, people in exile, and Native Americans.
