The Mind of Christ

St. Paul says, “have this mind among yourselves, which was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.” Have the mind of Christ in you. And the mind of Christ is humility. Jesus emptied Himself of Himself. Our Epistle for today started at verse six in the second chapter of Philippians. Just prior to that, Paul says, “do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves.” Now that part about counting others better than yourselves needs some explanation. The humble person is not necessarily the one who always thinks lowly of himself. It’s not necessarily humility to constantly think that everyone else is qualitatively better than you. One Christian author wrote, “the humble person is not one who thinks meanly of himself, he simply doesn’t think of himself at all.” At least the humble person doesn’t think of himself at in terms of priority. To the humble person, it is always the other who takes priority. And so by saying we are to count others better than ourselves, Paul simply means that we take others into consideration first, every time, rather than ourselves. It seems natural for us, in our fallen condition, to be self-oriented, self-interested, and self-directed. We like to think of ourselves as autonomous, self-made individuals with inalienable rights. We’re prepared to go to the mat if we feel any of that is threatened. But these are the very things of which Jesus emptied Himself. And the emptying of self and the humbling of self, to put others before the self, these are the mind of Christ. It’s hard enough for mere mortals to do that. Now think of what it means for the Son of God, who knew equality with God, to empty Himself not only of all self-interest, but also of His own Godliness. What a step downward it was for God to become a man. To say that it would be like a man becoming a worm doesn’t even come close. Jesus gave up what was rightly His in order to become one of us to save us. The magnitude of how much He loves us, and what He did for us cannot be measured. But there is another aspect of humility. Humility means facing or accepting the truth about oneself. For us that means facing the truth that we are sinners. And it also means that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us and that we are loved by Him more than we know. For Jesus, the truth about Himself is that He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And those who follow Him rejoice at His coming and praise His Holy Name and shout ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” Only a truly humble man could rightly accept such praise from His followers without letting it inflate His ego. Only the humblest of all men could so deny Himself and be obedient even to the death. And it is certain death, which Jesus ultimately rides toward as He enters Jerusalem amidst the adoring shouts of praise and the waving of the palms. What was on His mind as He began His final week on earth? It was to count others before Himself, to do the will of His Father and not His own will. That is the mind of Christ. Have this mind among yourselves, which was in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“de la Pasión del Señor”

9 de abril de 2017

Los sentimientos de Cristo San Pablo dice: " "Procurad tener los mismos sentimientos que tuvo Cristo Jesús" Él, siendo de condición divina, no se apegó a su igualdad con Dios, sino que se redujo a nada, tomando la condición de servidor, y se hizo semejante a los hombres. Y encontrándose en la condición humana, se rebajó a sí mismo haciéndose obediente hasta la muerte, y muerte en una cruz". Ten los sentimientos de Cristo en ti. Y el espíritu de Cristo es la humildad. Jesús se vació de sí mismo. Nuestra Epístola de hoy comenzó en el versículo seis del segundo capítulo de la carta del apóstol san Pablo a los Filipenses. Justo antes de eso, san Pablo dice, "no hagan nada por rivalidad o vanagloria, que cada uno tenga la humildad de creer que los otros son mejores que él mismos". Ahora esa parte de creer que los otros son mejores que ustedes necesita alguna explicación. La persona humilde no es necesariamente la que siempre tiene un humilde concepto de sí mismo. No es necesariamente humildad pensar constantemente que todo el mundo es cualitativamente mejor que tú. Un autor cristiano escribió: "El humilde no es uno que piensa mal de sí mismo, simplemente no piensa en sí mismo en absoluto". Al menos la persona humilde no piensa en sí mismo en términos de prioridad. Para el humilde, siempre es el otro quien tiene prioridad. Y así, al decir que debemos contar a otros mejor que a nosotros mismos, san Pablo simplemente quiere decir que tomemos en consideración a los demás primero, cada vez, más que a nosotros mismos. Parece natural para nosotros, en nuestra condición caída, ser auto-orientados, auto-interesados y auto-dirigidos. Nos gusta pensar en nosotros mismos como individuos autónomos, salir adelante por sí mismos con derechos inalienables. Estamos preparados para ir a la alfombra si sentimos que algo de eso está amenazado. Pero éstas son las mismas cosas de las que Jesús se vació. Y el vaciamiento de sí mismo y la humillación del yo, para poner a otros ante el yo, éste es el espíritu de Cristo. Es muy difícil para los simples mortales hacer eso. Ahora piensa en lo que significa para el Hijo de Dios, que conocía la igualdad con Dios, vaciarse no sólo de todo interés propio, sino también de su propia piedad. Lo que fue un paso hacia abajo que Dios se convirtiera en un hombre. Decir que sería como si un hombre se convirtiera en un gusano ni siquiera se compara. Jesús renunció a lo que era suyo para convertirse en uno de nosotros para salvarnos. La magnitud de cuánto nos ama, y lo que hizo por nosotros no puede ser medido. Pero hay otro aspecto de la humildad. La humildad significa enfrentar o aceptar la verdad sobre uno mismo. Para nosotros eso significa enfrentar la verdad de que somos pecadores. Y también significa que siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros y que somos amados por Él más de lo que sabemos. Para Jesús, la verdad acerca de Él, es que Él es el Rey de Reyes y Señor de Señores. Y los que lo siguen se regocijan de su venida y alaban su Santo Nombre y gritan: "¡Bendito el Rey que viene en el nombre del Señor!" Sólo un hombre verdaderamente humilde podía aceptar correctamente tales alabanzas de Sus seguidores sin dejar que creciera Su ego. Sólo el más humilde de todos los hombres podía negarse a sí mismo y ser obediente hasta la muerte. Y es la muerte segura, a la cual Jesús en última instancia cabalga cuando entra en Jerusalén en medio de los gritos de adoración de alabanza y el agitar de las palmas. ¿Qué estaba en Su mente al comenzar Su última semana en la tierra? Era tomar en cuenta a otros antes que Él, para hacer la voluntad de Su Padre y no Su propia voluntad. Esa es el Espíritu de Cristo. Tengan estos mismos sentimientos entre ustedes, que estuvieron en Cristo Jesús. Amén.

Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer.

The lines for the opportunity to see a rock star are indelibly long. The Star of all Stars, Jesus, humbles Himself to share a personal one on one hour, and only a few “wise virgins” fill up their lamps with this wondrous love freely given by Christ. How will He be able to recognize us at the end of our earthly exile if we become as the “foolish virgins’ who are too busy to show love and adoration for this awesome gift that is our Mighty Lord Jesus?

This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from. An adorer is needed for:

Wednesday 3:00 a.m.—4:00 a.m. Thursday 2:00 a.m.—3:00 a.m.

Saturday 2:00 a.m.—3:00 a.m.

If you are able to help with this time, please call

Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117. El Papa Francisco llama a la iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la misión por medio de la oración.

Las colas para tener la oportunidad de ver a una estrella del rock están increíblemente largas. La Estrella de todas las Estrellas, Jesús, se humilla para compartir una hora de tiempo personal, y sólo unas cuantas “virgenes sabias” llenan sus lámparas con el amor maravilloso regalado por Cristo. Cómo podrá reconocernos al final de nuestra exilio terrestre si nos convertimos en “virgenes tontas” que están demasiado ocupadas para demastrar nuestro amor y adoración para este impresionante don que es nuestro Poderoso Señor Jesús.

Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no se repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildísima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en sólo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger.

Vinnie's on Broadway NOTES FROM THE HEART

The volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul on Broadway would like to share with you our work that your donations and thrift shop support make possible while keeping confidential the identities of our brothers and sisters in need. The Thrift store will be closed Friday and Saturday of Holy Week. The Food Pantry will be closed on Saturday. Sometimes volunteers need to spend time with the larger Notre Dame community in prayer. Holy Thursday, we will have a truck outside and a bunch of cans in the Narthex. Anyone can help connect the two, one bag at a time. Store sales show a slight increase in the last month. Our neighbors, Peterson Hospice Thrift store closed its doors the same week we started taking Debit Cards. We will continue to NOT take credit cards so we don't tempt people to go into debt. Recently, a couple volunteers attended a talk on Not in My Backyard, a program to increase awareness of the growing business of Human Trafficking, especially as it pertains to child victimization. Very disturbing when the official presenting last year's study results could find online 85 "escorts" listed for contact in KERRVILLE. Instruction was given for identifying potential victims. The "escorts" were all under 18. We are officially out of diapers until August's diaper drive. We had one volunteer donate an additional $1300 plus we, one month, were able to order 90 boxes for under a $1 a box. We see a lot of families and only supplied half or less of needed product. We get requests for a variety of paper products. We voted to not use Society funds for diapers but to concentrate on the increased food requests and financial aid. Any organization that would like to serve in a group Wednesday night or Saturday morning distributing in the Food Pantry is welcome to come on a semi-regular bases. We started quite a few new volunteers last Fall that did not return after Christmas break. The beginning of the Quarter is the busiest time. Six are needed to run the Pantry effectively. Financial aid and reception is pretty well covered. We would like to see a couple groups commit to a day every other month.

BooksToBorrow from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the narthex of the church near the bell tower door. As we enter into Holy Week, we are featuring The Lamb’s Supper, The Mass as Heaven on Earth, by Scott Hahn. When I (Mary) first reverted back to the Catholic Church, I read as many books by Dr. Hahn as I could get my hands on. His writings were instrumental in bridging the many gaps in my knowledge of the faith of my childhood. When I read this book, it really opened my eyes to the wonder and beauty of the Liturgy and also helped me to understand the Book of Revelation as taught by our early Church Fathers. This book is written in direct and clear language, and it will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully. There is a wonderful foreword by Fr. Benedict Groeschel (deceased), another powerful spiritual writer who made my foray back into Catholicism so rich and rewarding. From the foreword: The only thing that we ever do in this world that is real participation in the life we hope to live forever is to worship with Christ at the Liturgy. However humble the appointments of the church buildings, however limited the spiritual insights of the participants when we are at the Liturgy of the Mass – Christ is there and mysteriously we are for that moment standing at the Eternal Supper of the Lamb. This would be great reading for those we are welcoming into our Church on Easter Vigil, as well as those who want to delve into the Book of Revelation and its relationship to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
