Grew quickly. It begins the judicial year. First Red Mass in the US was celebrated in 1928 by Cardinal Hayes at old St. Andrew\u2019s Church, down by the courthouses here in NYC.<\/li>\n<li>The Red Masses take their name from the Red Vestments worn by the priest when he celebrates a Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit. Judges, Lawyers, Paralegals, Court Personnel, and everyone working in the legal profession have a special need for the Holy Spirit\u2019s seven-fold gifts: wisdom, understanding, knowledge, prudence, courage, reverence, fear or awe of the Lord. We ask for those gifts tonight on us and on all those involved in the administration of justice and those preparing to be officers of the court.<\/li>\n<li>The Holy Spirit fills us with hope and the readings and today\u2019s feast of St. John Paul II are all about hope.<\/li>\n<li>Those in the legal profession are meant to be signs and agents of hope.\n<ul>\n<li>Hope for justice for those who are wronged.<\/li>\n<li>Hope for improving the laws of a nation and making it a better place for everyone.<\/li>\n<li>Hope for getting deals done in a way that\u2019s fair to everyone.<\/li>\n<li>Hope within families for solid providers to care for loved ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>What hope is\n<ul>\n<li>Hope is living with God in the World.<\/li>\n<li>That means presence of God. Aware that the Lord is near. Not doing our own thing but doing things in collaboration with him, with his virtues, with his integrity care and concern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>JP II at the United Nations: Witnesses of Hope.\n<ul>\n<li>General Assembly of the United Nations in 1995.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI come before you as a witness: a witness to human dignity,<em>a witness to hope<\/em>, a witness to the conviction that the destiny of all nations lies in the hands of a merciful Providence.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In that speech, he gave the reason for the hope that he bore within. For him, hope was essentially a paraphrase of his famous repetition of Jesus\u2019 words \u201cBe not afraid!\u201d in the Mass to inaugurate his papacy which took place 46 years ago today.<\/li>\n<li>He said to the representatives of the nations of the world, \u201cNow is the time for<em>new hope<\/em>, which calls us to expel the paralyzing burden of cynicism from the future of politics and of human life. \u2026\u00a0<em>We must learn not to be afraid<\/em>, we must rediscover a spirit of hope and a spirit of trust. Hope is not empty optimism springing from a naive confidence that the future will necessarily be better than the past.<\/li>\n<li>Hope and trust are the premise of responsible activity and are nurtured in that inner sanctuary of conscience where \u2018man is alone with God\u2019 and he thus perceives that he<em>is not alone<\/em>\u00a0amid the enigmas of existence, for he is surrounded by the love of the Creator!<\/li>\n<li>Hope and trust: these may seem matters beyond the purview of the United Nations. But they are not. The politics of nations, with which your Organization is principally concerned, can never ignore the transcendent, spiritual dimension of the human experience. \u2026 In order to recover our hope and our trust at the end of this century of sorrows, we must regain sight of that transcendent horizon of possibility to which the soul of man aspires.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>He finished by saying, \u201cAs a Christian, my hope and trust are centered on Jesus Christ. \u2026<em>Jesus Christ is for us God made man, and made a part of the history of humanity. Precisely for this reason, Christian hope for the world and its future extends to every human person<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>When George Weigel was choosing a title for his definitive biography of St. John Paul II, a work in which I played a small role, he chose \u201cWitness to Hope,\u201d something that not only summarized his speech to the United Nations, but his whole life.<\/li>\n<li>Each of us is meant to be a witness to hope. Every Christian is. Every Catholic lawyer is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>How do lawyers become people of hope?\n<ul>\n<li>There are a few answers from the readings.<\/li>\n<li>First is through hard work. Servants in the Gospel. Second Watch. Third Watch. The Lord is proud of people who are working for and with him at that time, keeping an awareness of his presence.<\/li>\n<li>The second is through communion with the Church. First reading. Dividing wall. Communion of saints, with Church militant and also Church triumphant.<\/li>\n<li>The third is maintaining a clear eschatological sense of our work. That even the sufferings work out for the good. Jesus makes an extraordinary promise about heaven, that he will wait on us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>John Paul II gave some other indications to lawyers about how to be true witnesses of hope.\n<ul>\n<li>John Coverdale\u2019s 2005 article soon after JP II\u2019s death, The Legacy of John Paul II to Lawyers. Seton Hall Law Review.<\/li>\n<li>Coverdale is a professor emeritus at Seton Hall School of Law, with his JD from Notre Dame and Ph.D\u2019s in both history and Philosophy as well as a licentiate in Sacred Theology.<\/li>\n<li>He argued that JP II said that to be real agents of hope in a sometimes desperate world will come more from just legal expertise and hard work, but some other coordinates.\n<ul>\n<li>Recognizing the value and dignity of every person<\/li>\n<li>Capacity for a gift of self, for real sacrifice.<\/li>\n<li>Vigorous understanding of Freedom and its relationship to the truth at a time of epistemological and moral relativism. Thirst for truth. Real freedom, not license, but the uncoerced ability to know and embrace the truth<\/li>\n<li>Grasp the nature of law as an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community, and promulgated. Unlike the positivistic conception which sees whatever the legislature (or in some cases, the courts) commands as law, thereby making the law essentially an act of the will of the legislator, John Paul II views law as primarily an act of reason which directs men toward their proper goal<\/li>\n<li>Coverdale talked about applications to the protecting the life of those at the margins, to solidarity and subsidiarity, to economic organization at the service of the person, to private property and the destination of goods.<\/li>\n<li>JP II\u2019s thought, Coverdale say, \u201chas special relevance to lawyers, because all lawyers who aspire to go beyond being mere technicians must come to grips with the ultimate questions that concern the goal of human life and the sort of society that will contribute to its attainment.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Where does a Catholic lawyer get the strength to be a sign and agent of hope.<\/li>\n<li>Here at Mass. Here the HS helps us keep a lively awareness of Jesus\u2019 presence, which is the source of our hope. By his power, Jesus comes to abide in us in Holy Communion. By his work, he makes us more and more fellow citizens with the saints through Holy Communion.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s here at Mass that Jesus, \u201cgirds himself, has us recline at table, and proceeds to wait on them.\u201d That\u2019s what Jesus, after all, did at the Last Supper, taking on the form of a slave and washing his apostles\u2019 feet and feeding them with his very own body and blood.<\/li>\n<li>Every Mass is a Perpetual Pentecost. Here the work of the Holy Spirit to form us to be like Jesus reaches its zenith. He makes us witnesses to Christ, who is our hope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/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 id=\"\/bible\/ephesians\/2:12|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=910bf38608&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">eph 2:12-22<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Brothers and sisters:<br \/>\nYou were at that time without Christ,<br \/>\nalienated from the community of Israel<br \/>\nand strangers to the covenants of promise,<br \/>\nwithout hope and without God in the world.<br \/>\nBut now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off<br \/>\nhave become near by the Blood of Christ.<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">For he is our peace, he made both one<br \/>\nand broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his Flesh,<br \/>\nabolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims,<br \/>\nthat he might create in himself one new person in place of the two,<br \/>\nthus establishing peace,<br \/>\nand might reconcile both with God,<br \/>\nin one Body, through the cross,<br \/>\nputting that enmity to death by it.<br \/>\nHe came and preached peace to you who were far off<br \/>\nand peace to those who were near,<br \/>\nfor through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.<br \/>\nSo then you are no longer strangers and sojourners,<br \/>\nbut you are fellow citizens with the holy ones<br \/>\nand members of the household of God,<br \/>\nbuilt upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets,<br \/>\nwith Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.<br \/>\nThrough him the whole structure is held together<br \/>\nand grows into a temple sacred in the Lord;<br \/>\nin him you also are being built together<br \/>\ninto a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/85:9|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=b218fa4a32&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">ps 85:9ab-10, 11-12, 13-14<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
