It\u2019s all meant to help them to go out in the person of Christ, with his words, with his authority, and even with his sufferings. Jesus lets them know that if they\u2019ve insulted him and tried to ascribe his work to the devil, they will do the same to the Apostles and us. But he reiterates to us not to be afraid, but to speak in the light what Jesus says in the darkness, to proclaim on the housetops what he whispers. He reminds us that we have nothing to fear from those who will seek to kill our bodies but can\u2019t harm our souls. We should care far more about what God thinks than about what people think. We should have a greater awe for what God is doing than a fear of what others might be doing. But we don&#8217;t need to fear him the way that some might fear the body-killers of this world, because God is a loving father, who loves us, who counts every strand of hair, and who cares for us more than he cares for sparrows and lilies who never go without. Jesus has come to help and strengthen us to acknowledge him before others, literally to lead others to the knowledge of Christ, so that he in turn will acknowledge us for our union with him before the Father.<\/li>\n<li>Today we have three examples of those who with courage became like Jesus through acknowledging him before others.<\/li>\n<li>In the first reading, Joseph the Patriarch does it in prophecy. Perhaps the most important way we need to give witness to God is to his mercy, because he came into the world to save us. And we see an image of the mercy Jesus would speak about in his famous Parable of the Prodigal Son in the way Joseph treats his brothers. They were all worried that after Jacob their father\u2019s death, Joseph will seek his revenge on them. They said, \u201cSuppose Joseph has been nursing a grudge against us\u00a0and now plans to pay us back in full for all the wrong we did him!\u201d Knowing their desperation, much like the Prodigal Son, they\u00a0rehearse a speech to say to Joseph and finish by saying \u201cLet us be your slaves!\u201d They know that without the provisions Joseph would give they wouldn\u2019t survive. But they still weren\u2019t relating to Joseph as their brother because they still hadn\u2019t realized the meaning of their father Jacob\u2019s love. So Joseph said to them, \u201cHave no fear. Can I take the place of God?\u00a0<em>Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good<\/em>,\u00a0to achieve his present end, the survival of many people.\u00a0Therefore have no fear.\u00a0I will provide for you and for your children.\u201d Joseph was treating his brothers as brothers, while they were still viewing him as a slave master, much in the same way that both brothers in Jesus\u2019 parable didn\u2019t understand the Father and his merciful love. God permits us to suffer \u2014 like he promises we will in yesterday&#8217;s and today&#8217;s Gospel \u2014 so that he can draw greater good from the evil we endure together with him. And we see something beautiful: it was from these ten brothers who so much needed mercy and to understand what it meant, and from Joseph and Benjamin who needed mercy and salvation in other ways, that the twelve tribes of Israel descended. The \u201cLion of the Tribe of Judah,\u201d one of Jesus\u2019 titles in the Book of Revelation, descended from Judah who sought to kill and then sell his brother. All of the priests descended from Levi. The school of the Lord\u2019s service teaches its lessons in surprising ways.<\/li>\n<li>The second great witness is St. Henry, the Holy Roman emperor from Bavaria, who died 995 years ago today. The beautiful opening prayer indicates how he went from earthly kingdom to heavenly realms, and not just after his death, but during his earthly life. Even though he was king, he cared more about being a faithful servant of the King of Kings. He and his wife St. Cunegunda lived in continence and tried to dedicate themselves to God. So great was his desire to serve God that he sought to leave the crown and become a Benedictine at the Abbey of Verdun, but he was rejected. He has become the patron saint of all those who have been rejected for religious life. After his insistence, the Abbot let him make vows as an Oblate but then under holy obedience commanded him to continue to rule the empire well. And the Lord brought great good out of that rejection, helping St. Henry in humble obedience to God\u2019s will.\u00a0As Holy Roman Emperor he sought always to welcome the poor as if he were welcoming Christ and sacrificed to care for them. He also did all that he could to help the Church carry out its task of witnessing to the Lord and to his mercy before all, founding monasteries and even a Diocese. He sought to help all the people in his kingdom, leading by example, to become like Jesus the Teacher.<\/li>\n<li>The third witness is the greatest of all, the Blessed Mother, whom we remember in a particular way on this Saturday. Not only did she imitate her Son but in some ways he likewise learned from her. She is the faithful mirror of his grace and love. And she shows us how to overcome fear. After the Archangel Gabriel had told her not to be afraid, that the Power of the Most High would overshadow her and that the child she would conceive in her womb by the power of the Holy Spirit who be the One who would save his people from their sins, she responded with courageous faith: &#8220;I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.&#8221; Today, as we prepare to receive within us the same Jesus she carried in her womb for nine months, let us ask her prayers that we might respond to God&#8217;s word today as servants of the Lord by saying, &#8220;Let it be done to me according to your word,&#8221; as we seek to go out and acknowledge him before the world!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/genesis\/49:29\">GN 49:29-32; 50:15-26A<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Jacob gave his sons this charge:<br \/>\n\u201cSince I am about to be taken to my people,<br \/>\nbury me with my fathers in the cave that lies<br \/>\nin the field of Ephron the Hittite,<br \/>\nthe cave in the field of Machpelah,<br \/>\nfacing on Mamre, in the land of Canaan,<br \/>\nthe field that Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite<br \/>\nfor a burial ground.<br \/>\nThere Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried,<br \/>\nand so are Isaac and his wife Rebekah,<br \/>\nand there, too, I buried Leah\u2013<br \/>\nthe field and the cave in it<br \/>\nthat had been purchased from the Hittites.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Now that their father was dead,<br \/>\nJoseph\u2019s brothers became fearful and thought,<br \/>\n\u201cSuppose Joseph has been nursing a grudge against us<br \/>\nand now plans to pay us back in full for all the wrong we did him!\u201d<br \/>\nSo they approached Joseph and said:<br \/>\n\u201cBefore your father died, he gave us these instructions:<br \/>\n\u2018You shall say to Joseph, Jacob begs you<br \/>\nto forgive the criminal wrongdoing of your brothers,<br \/>\nwho treated you so cruelly.\u2019<br \/>\nPlease, therefore, forgive the crime that we,<br \/>\nthe servants of your father\u2019s God, committed.\u201d<br \/>\nWhen they spoke these words to him, Joseph broke into tears.<br \/>\nThen his brothers proceeded to fling themselves down before him<br \/>\nand said, \u201cLet us be your slaves!\u201d<br \/>\nBut Joseph replied to them:<br \/>\n\u201cHave no fear.
