\nPutting into the Deep
\nThe Anchor
\nJune 10, 2016<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last week I was in Rome leading a pilgrimage of American journalists, trying to help them get to know better the past and the present of the Church. The timing couldn\u2019t have been better, however, because it coincided with the Jubilee for Priests during this extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. About 6,000 priests from across the world came \u2014 and the Vatican really provided us a powerful program.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday there were pilgrimages through the Jubilee Door at St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Confession from Missionaries of Mercy, and catechetical talks in various languages, with the English conference being given by the incomparable Bishop Robert Barron.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which since 2002 has also been the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests, we priests concelebrated Mass in St. Peter\u2019s Square with Pope Francis, who after Mass spent more than an hour individually greeting priest concelebrants. At night, the vigil of the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the priests were able to pray the Rosary to the Mother of Clergy with seminarians from all over the world studying in Rome.<\/p>\n

The clear highlight of the Priestly Jubilee, however, was a three-part, three-location retreat on Thursday preached by Pope Francis to his brother priests. It took place in the three \u201cother\u201d major Basilicas of Rome \u2014 St. John in the Lateran, St. Mary Major, and St. Paul\u2019s Outside the Walls \u2014\u00a0with priests divided into national and language groups. The Pope preached an hour-long meditation in each Basilica with a live-stream into the others, with simultaneously translation for those not fluent in Italian.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve long thought that the Pope is at his best and most natural preaching retreats. When he gives spiritual exercises to his fellow religious, brother priests and bishops, he normally takes the humble \u201cbushel basket\u201d off of his deep interior life and we\u2019re able to get a transparent window into his intense relationship with the Word of God, with the Blessed Trinity, with Mary and the saints.<\/p>\n

Soon after his election, I tried to read everything that he had published in English and in Spanish: his book-length interviews, speeches, pre-papal homilies and more. But by far the two most helpful and revealing resources were books of his retreat talks. One was Meditaciones Para Religiosos<\/em>, a Spanish compilation of retreat meditations given to religious men and women. The second is entitled In Him Alone is Our Hope, <\/em>which is the English translation of the spiritual exercises he preached to the Spanish Bishops in 2006.<\/p>\n

In them we meet a Jesuit Retreat Master at the height of the art of group spiritual direction, guiding us into the drama of Christ\u2019s life and the life of faith. There we see, in my opinion, the \u201creal Fr. Bergoglio\u201d at his most brilliant, challenging and encouraging, where his faith, hope and love for God and others most impressively shine.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve often thought if the Pope\u2019s critics were to meet him in these sources, where he exposes the depth of his interiority, his mind and heart and his approach to the Christian way lived in the Church, they might be able, more calmly and accurately, to understand and categorize those aspects of his papacy that until now they have found difficult to grasp or even troubling.<\/p>\n

On June 2, the priests of the world got a glimpse of the \u201creal Bergoglio.\u201d Seated at a traditional retreat master\u2019s table, speaking comfortably and confidently, he spoke about his favorite theme, God\u2019s mercy. There\u2019s no way to do justice to the 15,000 words he preached that day, and so I\u2019d urge you to watch them with English translation<\/a>\u00a0or read them<\/a>. But I\u2019d like to share a few highlights.<\/p>\n

In the first meditation, he pondered how \u201cnothing unites us to God more than an act of mercy\u201d and urged us to treat mercy \u201cas a verb,\u201d receiving it and sharing it. He gave an extraordinary reflection on the Parable of the Prodigal Son and pondered how the returned prodigal is a model for us of the \u201cembarrassed dignity\u201d that is our Christian condition as reconciled sinners. \u201cThe Lord not only cleanses us,\u201d he emphasized, \u201cbut crowns us, giving us dignity,\u201d leading us from the state of \u201cestrangement to celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the second meditation, Pope Francis spoke about how God transforms our sins into \u201cwineskins\u201d from which the \u201cnew wine\u201d of his merciful love overflows in acts of mercy toward others. God seeks to change our reconciled hearts from \u201cbroken cisterns\u201d into \u201cvessels of mercy.\u201d Great sinners are therefore able, in turn, to become greater saints of mercy, like we see in the lives of Paul, Peter, John, Augustine, Francis, Ignatius, Blessed Jos\u00e9 Gabriel Brochero. Our Lady, he added, \u201cis the simple yet perfect vessel that both receives [preveniently] and bestows mercy.\u201d Her Magnificat reveals, he said, that from generation to generation, \u201chistory is mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the final conference, Pope Francis focused on how the works of mercy give off what St. Rose of Lima called \u201cgood odor of Christ\u201d and the \u201clight of [God\u2019s] mercy\u201d in contrast to the stench and darkness of sin. \u201cBeing merciful is not only \u2018a way of life\u2019\u201d for a Christian, he said, \u201cbut \u2018the<\/em> way of life.\u2019\u201d Without mercy, he stressed, \u201cI am not even a Christian.\u201d The Church, therefore, aims not just toward corporal and spiritual \u201cworks of mercy\u201d but to create a \u201cculture of mercy.\u201d Basing himself on the scene of Jesus with the woman caught in adultery, he encouraged priests as confessors to be \u201csigns and instruments\u201d of God as Good Shepherd, Good Samaritan, Father, and Just Judge in his \u201cmerciful love for the sinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, he forthrightly noted that he hears from some priests who think that he chides us too often, and acknowledged \u201cthere has been a bit of that.\u201d But after stating that he has been edified by the example of so many good priests who give off the \u201cperfume\u201d of Christ\u2019s mercy, he read a letter he had just received from a pastor of three parishes thanking him for precisely for this \u201coccasional scolding.\u201d The Pope suggested that his papal fraternal corrections are themselves acts of mercy for priests and for those we serve, helping us to become better, bigger wineskins to pour out the vintage of God\u2019s merciful love to others and to form the \u201cculture of mercy\u201d that the Church, as leaven, is entrusted by God to engender.<\/p>\n

It was Pope Francis at his best, trying to help his priest brothers, and all we serve, become better and more merciful like the Father.<\/p>\n
