Fr. Joseph’s Corner “The Most Beautiful Heart!” (Author
Unknown) ONE DAY A young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered, and they all admired his heart for it truly was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed that it was really the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart. Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, “Why, your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.” The crowd and the young man then looked at the old man’s heart. It was beating strongly, but it was full of scars. It had some places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn’t fit quite right, and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in a few places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people stared. “How can he say his heart is more beautiful?” they thought. The young man looked at the old man’s heart, saw its state, and laughed. “You must be joking,” he said. “Compare your heart with mine. Mine is perfect, and yours is a mess of scars and tears.” “Yes,” said the old man. “Yours is perfect looking, but I would never trade with you. Because you see, every scar
represents a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart, and give it to them and, often, they give me a piece of their heart
which fits into the empty place in my heart. But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges—giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people, too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?” the old man asked. The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart, and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart— not perfect anymore—but more beautiful than ever, because love from the old man’s heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side.
… Prayerful Wishes,
Father Joseph

Third Sunday of Easter May 5, 2019
Today’s Gospel narrative shows us
the rehabilitation of Peter, who
denied Jesus three times in the
courtyard of Caiaphas, repented,
and then received Primacy in the
Church from Jesus. The Gospel
also shows us God in search of
man, even when man tries to
evade Him.
The first reading, taken from the
Acts of the Apostles, tells us how
the Holy Spirit transformed Peter,
whom Jesus had appointed head
of his Church, from a man fearful
of powerful men into a brave
witness to the Resurrection. Peter
stands before the Jewish Supreme
Court – the Sanhedrin — boldly
announcing that he and the
others must obey God rather than
men. The second reading, taken
from Revelation (the Apocalypse),
presents John’s vision of the Risen
Lord as the glorified “Lamb of
God,” enthroned in Heaven. The
whole of Revelation is an
expression of Christian hope
in the Risen Lord. Today’s
Gospel tells the post-
Resurrection story of our merciful
Savior Who goes in search of His
band of disappointed and
dejected disciples. The
incident proves that Jesus’ post-
Resurrection appearances were
not mere hallucinations. In the
first part of today’s Gospel, the
risen Jesus appears to His
disciples and gives them a symbol
of their mission in a miraculous
catch of fish followed by a grilled
fish breakfast prepared by Jesus
himself. The second part is a
dialogue between Jesus and
Simon where Simon is asked three
times whether he loves Jesus, and
he answers that he does, as if in
reparation for his triple denial of
Jesus. The two metaphors used in
the story, namely fishing and
shepherding, are the duties of the
Church in her missionary work.
Peter, as a forgiven sinner, is
chosen for the quality of his love
to serve as leader in a community
of brothers and sisters. As his
primary mission, Peter is given
the care of the vulnerable lambs
and sheep, and he is told that
fidelity to this mission will lead
him to martyrdom.
We need to open our eyes, ears
and hearts wide to see, hear, and
experience the Risen Lord coming
into our lives in various forms,
circumstances and events: 1) The
Risen Lord blesses us with success
and achievements. We often fail
to acknowledge the presence of
the Risen Lord behind our
unexpected successes, great
achievements, promotions at
work, miraculous healings, and
success in relationships. He is
right there in our parties,
celebrations and occasions of
rejoicing. 2) The Risen Lord is
present in our pains and suffering:
Acts 9:1-13 tells us how the Risen
Lord transformed the life of Saul
by pushing him down onto the
Damascus road and making him
temporarily blind. The same Jesus
often visits us in the form of
accidents, illnesses, the loss of
dear ones, pain and suffering, and
problems in relationships. 3) The
Risen Lord visits us through our
friends and well-wishers: He is
present in those who visit us and
encourage us in our sad and
desperate moments. The Risen
Lord visits us in the form of
unexpected help from the least
expected persons in our dire
needs.
4) The Risen Lord is present in our
Christian worship: He is present
on our altars during the Holy
Mass to share His life with us; He
is present in the words of Holy
Scripture; He is there in the
Sacraments and He is there where
two or three are gathered in his
name (Matthew 18: 20).
