23nd Sunday in ordinary time

Ez 33:7-9/Rom 13:8-10/Mt 18:15-20

“…You son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel, when you hear me say something, you shall warn them for me… But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself… ‘If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone’… ‘you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence love is the fulfillment of the law.’”
When something is wrong we respond in two ways. We overlook and ignore it, accepting it as part of life saying or thinking ‘everybody is doing it’ and look the other way. The second response calls us to help the person recognize the fault, error or sin, in order to protect him or her from evil consequences. (We are to concentrate on the help, not just the criticism.)
Ezekiel and the prophets in scripture were given this awesome task, to call God’s people back to the Lord. Jesus came to complete what the prophets were unable to accomplish. He came to offer the gift of reconciliation for humankind, because we ‘just didn’t get it.’ He took the ten commandments, summarized them with two, love of God and love of neighbor. He provided extensive examples how to put them into practice as He taught of the final judgment – the hungry, thirty, naked, immigrant, prisoner and sick – or through the parables – the Good Samaritan, forgiving father or prodigal son.
St. Paul in the last quote asks us to reflect upon how we can and should live the scriptures this week. Do his words offer help or a challenge? Hopefully both!

NEW ROMAN MISSAL

On the Art of Translation--Professor Anthony Esolen

Continued from Last Week….

The Lord’s offering to go to the centurion’s house is a foreshadowing of his entering the house of our body, in the form of bread. His is the action, his is the offer; he is the one who wishes to take up his dwelling within us.



A Language of Prayer

The translation we are adopting is, I affirm, more faithful to the original, both in it’s accuracy and in it’s humble and generous submission. And this leads me to a crucial point about about the language of faith. Consider the difference between a grand piano and a toy piano, or between a coronet and a harmonica. You may play a C on each instrument, and in a certain sense they will all be playing one note; you will recognize the pitch as the same. But it would be absurd to suppose that there is no difference- and indeed all the differnce in the world-between the grand piano and the toy piano, or between the coronet and the harmonica. The grand piano is an instrument of surpassing power, the toy piano is but a child’s half-comical imitation. The coronet is an instrument for proclaiming the approach of a king; the harmonica, for a lonely farmer boy out in the fields, musing about the lovely girl in the village nearby.

As in music, so in language. There are many instruments that play in English; consider the rough banter of boys on a street corner; the colorless formality of an office memorandum; the tender phrases of a love letter, tinged with nostalgia; the intricacy of poetry in meter and rhyme. So the question is not simply, “How do we translate this Latin into English?” byt “What instrument in English is best for this instrument in Latin?” How do we translate the language of prayer? And there is a language of prayer

I have heard it said that when Jesus prayed, he used the common language of the people. The implication is that there should be no real difference between the style of our prayers and the style, say, of our letters to the editor. But the premise is wrong, and so is the conclusion. The fact is, there was no such thing as one “common language of the people.” That is because, as I’ve suggested, language is a many splendored thing. The farmer in old Quebec speaks in a courtly way to his wife –but not so his horse or his dog. A solider writing home to his beloved allows himself flights of fancy that would be laughed at in the barracks. Every language too has a sacral register. That was true of the Aramaic that Jesus spoke. More than that, when Jesus gathered with his disciples to celebrate the sacred feasts, or when he read in the synagogues, it was not the Aramaic that he read, and not Aramaic psalms that he sang, but Hebrew, the ancient language of his people.

TO BE CONTINUED….
Prayer for 9/11 Anniversary 
Almighty God, you have committed to us the ministry of reconciliation of your son, Jesus Christ; give us the confidence in your power to forgive, as your son forgave humankind from the Cross. in his name, bless and enable us to be witnesses for your forgiveness at work where we live. Unite us in a sacred fellowship to heal the hostilities we see, and give us the grace to love another in the name of Jesus Christ and to rejoice in the eternal fellowship of his disciples. Amen
