Gospel Meditation: You Are Witnesses of these Things
By: Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor
The Church is an enduring mystery. There are so many aspects of God’s work for our salvation that may not seem at first glance to be the best, most effective, or most efficient “ways to do it.” The Incarnation itself is a great surprise. Why did God become one of us, live and die with us, rather than simply “turning on the heavenly PA system” as I sometimes say, and announce in a direct and undeniable way to every person on earth something along the lines of “I am God, I am real, you will die, get your act together!” Instead, what God did was to be born among us humbly, indeed almost hidden, and then at the end of Jesus’ earthly mission he commissioned his disciples to go out and carry his message to the world.
The day will come, it seems clear from scripture, when things ARE announced in a universal and undeniable way to all people, but that will be associated with the END of the world and is not part of the mission until then of spreading the Good News in anticipation of the End (or simply each of our personal “ends” and coming face-to-face with our Creator). So, God’s plan to spread the message of Jesus’ Life, Death, and Resurrection, the Divine Plan of letting mankind know that they are in need of salvation but that salvation has already been purchased for them in the Blood of Jesus, was to send people out to tell one another about it. That’s the plan!
I think it is fair to ask why this was God’s plan, but I also don’t know that we can expect any completely satisfying answers to it. Part of the mystery seems to be wrapped up in the communion-forming nature of Jesus’ mission. Jesus calls people by name— so “individually” in that sense— but then joins them into a communion— of Apostles, of Disciples, of believers. He sends them out two by two. He institutes Sacraments that create and emphasize communion: you cannot baptize yourself; Bread is broken in order to be shared; listen to and forgive one another’s sins. The preaching of the Good News extends this invitation into communion.
The Communion Jesus creates and wishes to be shared cuts through many presumed dividing lines of humanity: women and men are invited to the Table, slaves and free people, Jews and Greeks. The invitation into the healing Communion of God is itself preached by people who have taken part of that Communion in all its senses— they are IN UNION with one another and they have shared “Holy Communion,” the Body and Blood of Christ from the hands of one of the successors of Jesus’ Apostles. Go and share this message of healing and solidarity. Go and share this message of forgiveness and reconciliation. Go and share that death’s reign and terror are shattered. Go, for you are witnesses of these things.

A PRAYER FOR PEACE BY POPE FRANCIS
Lord God of peace, hear our prayer!
We have tried so many times and over so many years
to resolve our conflicts by our own powers and by the force of our arms.
How many moments of hostility and darkness have we experienced?
how much blood has been shed?
how many lives have been shattered?
how many hopes have been buried?
But our efforts have been in vain.
Now, Lord, come to our aid!
Grant us peace, teach us peace;
guide our steps in the way of peace.
Open our eyes and our hearts,
and give us the courage to say: "Never again war!"; "With war everything is lost".
Instill in our hearts the courage to take concrete steps to achieve peace.
Lord, God of Abraham, God of the Prophets, God of Love,
you created us and you call us to live as brothers and sisters.
Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace;
enable us to see everyone who crosses our path as our brother or sister.
Make us sensitive to the plea of our citizens
who entreat us to turn our weapons of war into implements of peace,
our trepidation into confident trust,
and our quarreling into forgiveness.
Keep alive within us the flame of hope,
so that with patience and perseverance
we may opt for dialogue and reconciliation.
In this way may peace triumph at last,
and may the words "division," "hatred," and "war"
be banished from the heart of every man and woman.
Lord, defuse the violence of our tongues and our hands.
Renew our hearts and minds,
so that the word which always brings us together will be "brother,"
and our way of life will always be that of: Shalom, Peace, Salaam!
Amen.
