£¥€$: "Possess or be possessed?"

2009-09-24T00:26:00.000-07:00

This title is the central question of a sermon that Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger (1926-2007), Archbishop of Paris, preached in the mid-eighties. It was during one of the masses he used to preside every Sunday afternoons. I think I'll remember this homely forever.
It was a period of my life when I felt very lonesome . I returned from long years of expatriation, settling definitely in Paris. I worked and lived in La Defense which was — and still remains — a kind of excentered down town and one of Paris Business Districts. As you could guess, the unique theme of discussions around me was at work and after work was: Business!
Denizen in my own country, I tried to find how to spend usefully my time and especially during my week-ends. My Sunday afternoons were filled with a long five-mile walk from home to Notre-Dame, enjoying almost one half of Paris highly touristic avenues and monuments: The Champs and rue de Rivoli, the Concorde, Louvres, Chatelet, etc. The pretext was to attend the organ concert of sacred music in the cathedral.
I was one of few who remained for the mass. Most of the members of the parish of Ile-de-la-Cité — the district around Notre Dame were affluent people beyond the forties, very well-dressed as any Parisian of the upper classes should be.
This Sunday, Father Lustiger discussed on the word "possession" that has a double meaning in French. The first is: ownership ( "To own money, lands, houses: fortune".); The second expresses the state of being possessed by the Evil… He pointed out that the obsession of possession, in the first meaning, leads to possession, in the second meaning.
Turning my head around, I saw in my neighbors’ eyes a kind of sadness… like what the rich young man should have felt after listening Jesus. “When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth” (Matthew 19-22).
Conclusion: Money lies!

Luke 5:1-8

One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God, he saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”

Simon answered, “Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”

For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,10and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men.”

So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.

Word of the day, Words of the Book: "pray"

....................................
Matthew 6:5-14

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,your will be doneon earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one.

Word of the day, Words of the Book: "patience"

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit–just as you were called to one hope when you were called– one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says:“When he ascended on high,he led captives in his trainand gave gifts to men.”

Luke 10: 1-12

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

"When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' If the head of the house loves peace, your peace will rest on that house; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for workers deserve their wages. Do not move around from house to house.

"When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,: "Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near." I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Colossians 1: 3-12

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints– the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all its truth. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, and who also told us of your love in the Spirit.
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.
