I\u2019ve always thought that God was very good to me in giving me these readings because they\u2019re not particularly easy to preach on, and so from the first time I ever had the chance to act on what I was instructed at my diaconal ordination, to \u201cBelieve what you read [and] teach what you believe,\u201d I had to do so explicitly with far greater dependence on God, far greater cooperation with the Holy Spirit. Whenever I have had the chance to proclaim and preach, therefore, on the readings of the 27th Friday of Ordinary Time, Year II, it always reminds me of the summons God gives to turn to him for light! With that help, I\u2019d like to focus on two huge lessons from today\u2019s readings and then tie them to the saint the Church remembers today, Pope St. John XXIII.<\/li>\n<li>The first lesson is about faith. In today\u2019s reading from St. Paul\u2019s letter to the Galatians, the apostle talks to us about faith, saying that those who have faith are children of Abraham. St. Paul was writing this to the Christians he had evangelized on his first and second journeys, but whose faith had then been reprogrammed by Judaizing Christians coming from Jerusalem, those who thought that in order to be a good Christian, you first had to be a perfect Jew. They didn\u2019t realize that the Mosaic Law was a gift to prepare God\u2019s people for the advent of the Messiah, who would bring the law to perfection. St. Paul will call the Mosaic Law, as we\u2019ll see tomorrow, a pedagogue or tutor, someone who at his time would travel with a student to class before the master or professor, and then, after class, go over all of the lessons. St. Paul was stressing throughout this letter as well as his letter to the Romans that we are saved by God through faith: salvation is God\u2019s work that we receive through the gift of faith. The Judaizers, like the Pharisees of which he once was one, thought we were saved by our actions of fidelity to God\u2019s law. We Christians know that we&#8217;re judged by our actions, but not saved by them. The big takeaway, however, is not just why the Judaizing Christians were wrong. The great takeaway is how we\u2019re supposed to live. We\u2019re supposed to live by faith, just like Abraham. We\u2019re constantly being asked by God to make journeys of faith like Abraham did at 75, leaving Ur of the Chaldeans, his security, his life as he knew it until then and journey to a place God would show him. God didn\u2019t tell him the destination, but Abraham trusted in him enough to go. God promised that he would become the father of many nations and showed him the stars of the sky as a confirmation of how many descendants he\u2019d have, but the text of Genesis is clear that he was asked to look into the heavens when the sky was blue, not dark, because dusk came afterward. Abraham knew the stars were there, but couldn\u2019t see them, which is a good image of what faith means, a certainty without seeing with worldly eyes. He didn\u2019t know that he would have to wait 25 years for the fulfillment of that promise, but he continued to believe. He didn\u2019t realize that he would be asked to sacrifice the fulfillment of that promise, Isaac, 13 years after his birth, but he did so with incredible faith, knowing, as the Letter to the Hebrews tells us, that God would raise him from the dead if he should be sacrificed. The Lord is calling each of us to a faith like this, to leave our comfort zones, to follow him, to count the stars even when we can\u2019t see them, to trust even when he asks us to sacrifice what\u2019s dearest. As St. Paul writes at the end of this passage, \u201cThe one who is righteous by faith will live.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The second great lesson from today\u2019s readings is about communion in the Church. In the Gospel, we see the opposition Jesus faced by those who refused to believe in him or his works. By this point, Jesus had already worked all of the miracles foretold by Isaiah (61) that would mark the advent of the Messiah: he had proclaimed the Gospel to the poor, healed the sick, made the blind see, the deaf hear, the mute speak, the lame walk. He had liberated the captives from the clutches of the devil by countless exorcisms. He had fed multitudes. He had walked on water. He had done so much. The people who didn\u2019t believe in him couldn\u2019t credibly deny the facts, but they could try to give them another interpretation: they claimed Jesus wasn\u2019t working them by God\u2019s power but by the devil\u2019s, an attempt to justify their lack of faith in him and their opposition. Jesus, in his words to them, spoke about the work of the devil and the main thrust of his own saving work. The work of the devil is to divide and the main focus of Jesus\u2019 work is to save us and sanctify us by bringing us into communion with God and in Him with others. Christ during the Last Supper prayed for a unity among us resembling the Trinity. He did that through his incarnation, life, passion, death and resurrection. We prayed in the Gospel verse about that when Jesus would be lifted up on the Cross, he would draw all men to himself \u2014 and out of the clutches of the evil one. We remember from St. Mark\u2019s Gospel the two essential aspects involved in life with Jesus: he calls us to be with him and to send us out (3:14). The devil wants to divide us from Jesus and prevent our going out as effective, ardent apostles. And he normally seeks to achieve both objectives by division, dividing us from genuine love of neighbor and thereby separating us from God. This is exactly the opposite of what Christ seeks: to gather us to him and to send us out to gather others. And then he gives everyone a choice to gather with him or to scatter. He said that Satan wouldn\u2019t do exorcisms because he would then be defeating himself. It\u2019s only God who does them. God comes in Christ as the \u201cstronger man\u201d to conquer the power of Satan and take his \u201cspoils,\u201d knowing that his \u201cspoils\u201d would be souls Jesus would take out of the devil\u2019s hand. Jesus warned his critics at the end of the Gospel to see that God had freed them through the Old Covenant from the domination of the evil one, but that a worse fate could await them if they cease to live by faith. The devil could return with seven demons and the new state would be worse than the one even before they had been given the Covenant. The whole thrust of Jesus&#8217; words were to help us to respond to Jesus\u2019 desire to gather us into his family and to send us out to gather with him.<\/li>\n<li>These two focuses in the readings, on growth in faith, and gathering Christ\u2019s family together, are both important ways by which we can gratefully celebrate this feast of Pope St. John XXIII. He died on June 3, 1963, but we celebrate his feast day today, October 11, the day he, responding to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, convened the Second Vatican Council. The Second Vatican Council was an attempt to launch a new Pentecost, to open the windows of the Church for the Holy Spirit to come in with his tongues of fire to propose the Gospel in a compelling way to the people of today so as to bring people together. Throughout his ministry, he sought to unite us to Christ in a Church and world that was growing increasingly polarized as a result of two world wars, various genocides and the cold war, as a result of a growing separation between north and south, between rich and poor, developed and developing. He sought to try to gather people together in communion with the \u201cStronger Man\u201d and the full strength of the Good Shepherd\u2019s love. We can focus on a few ways he did so.<\/li>\n<li>The first was by maintaining a strong communion with the Lord through a life of personal holiness. He knew he couldn\u2019t gather others for Christ unless he were intimately united with him. From the time he was a 14-year-old in a high school seminary, he saw that in order to bear fruit in his life, he needed to live by a \u201cRule of life,\u201d a set of spiritual practices that would help him grow in conformity to Christ, and he kept them his entire life. After his death, his former secretary said that John\u2019s \u201cRules of Life\u201d were truly rules for life. \u201cHe copied them out by hand, in minute writing, kept them always by him and constantly observed them, even when he was pope,\u201d Cardinal Loris Capovilla said. They were the blueprint for John\u2019s growth in sanctity in correspondence to God\u2019s grace, his means of growing stronger through communion with the Stronger Man.<\/li>\n<li>The second way he gathered was through tenderness. He was called \u201cIl Papa Buono,\u201d the Good Pope, in his lifetime because of the way he tenderly loved others with a father\u2019s heart and encouragement. The night before the opening of the Second Vatican Council, he told parents in his memorable \u201cmoonlight speech\u201d to the throngs who had assembled in St. Peter\u2019s Square to go home, hug their kids and say, \u201cThis is a hug from the Pope.\u201d People never forgot it, because it showed the affection of God through his vicar and icon. He showed God the Father\u2019s love for his family.<\/li>\n<li>Third, he focused on the need for mercy, which heals the wounds that divides and seeks to establish true reconciliation. The purpose for convening the Council, he said on this day in 1962, was \u201cthat the sacred deposit of Christian doctrine should be guarded and taught more\u2028 efficaciously,\u201d noting that \u201cthe substance of the ancient doctrine of the deposit of faith is one thing, and the way in which it is presented is another.\u201d He thought our age needed a special presentation of the faith with regard to the errors of the day. \u00a0The faith was the same but we needed to present it in a more compelling way in response to modern questions if people were going to be saved by faith. He stated that most Councils were called to oppose errors, saying, \u201cFrequently she has condemned them with the greatest severity. Nowadays however, the Spouse of Christ prefers to make use of the <em>medicine of mercy<\/em> rather than that of severity. \u2026\u00a0The Catholic Church, raising the torch of religious truth by means of this Ecumenical Council, desires to show herself to be the <em>loving mother of all, benign, patient, full of mercy and goodness.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>That is the means in the modern world, he thought, that the Church could be best a sign of unity and an instrument of God\u2019s peace. That would be the best way to communicate the faith. Today is an opportunity to focus on our role in the transmission of the truth of the faith overflowing in communal love.<\/li>\n<li>The great work of gathering us to Christ, of uniting us in communion, happens here at Mass where Jesus, the Stronger Man, seeks to make us one body, one spirit with Him and others. It\u2019s here that we receive the help we need to defeat the devil\u2019s attempted sabotage of our lives. It\u2019s here that we remember each day with joy that we are the disciples of the one who has defeated the devil and conquered even death and sin. It\u2019s here that our faith is strengthened by the Word of God, received faithfully in the communion of the Church, and where we commit ourselves anew to holiness and to the work of gathering with Christ into a \u201cUnited Kingdom\u201d that will stand strong into eternity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/galatians\/3:7\">GAL 3:7-14<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Brothers and sisters:<br \/>\nRealize that it is those who have faith<br \/>\nwho are children of Abraham.<br \/>\nScripture, which saw in advance that God<br \/>\nwould justify the Gentiles by faith,<br \/>\nforetold the good news to Abraham, saying,<br \/>\n<em>Through you shall all the nations be blessed.<\/em><br \/>\nConsequently, those who have faith are blessed<br \/>\nalong with Abraham who had faith.<br \/>\nFor all who depend on works of the law are under a curse;<br \/>\nfor it is written,\u00a0<em>Cursed be everyone<br \/>\nwho does not persevere in doing all the things<br \/>\nwritten in the book of the law.<\/em><br \/>\nAnd that no one is justified before God by the law is clear,<br \/>\nfor the one who is righteous by faith will live.<br \/>\nBut the law does not depend on faith;<br \/>\nrather,\u00a0<em>the one who does these things will live by them.<\/em><br \/>\nChrist ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,<br \/>\nfor it is written,\u00a0<em>Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree,<\/em><br \/>\nthat the blessing of Abraham might be extended<br \/>\nto the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,<br \/>\nso that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/psalms\/111:1\">PS 111:1B-2, 3-4, 5-6<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
