SEPTEMBER 15, 2019 NOTES FROM THE PASTOR OUR VISION INSIDE THIS ISSUE

Transkript

1 SEPTEMBER 15, 2019 NOTES FROM THE PASTOR Our Parish Feast Day, September 15th This weekend we celebrate the feast day of our Patroness, Our Lady of Sorrows. Even before a theology of suffering was elaborated, the images of a young and suffering mother bearing a child in a hostile world and an older mother standing before the cross of her son as he was dying captivated generations of believers. The embodiment in art, poetry and music of the Mater dolorosa (sorrowful mother) suggests that priority needs to be given to the primary experience, which is both imaginative and affective. An example giving priority to the imaginative is found in the remarkable medieval hymn, Stabat Mater. When these and other similar verses are read in a perspective of malefemale dynamics and spirituality, some significant conclusions emerge. The poet, a man, is asking a woman, Mary, to help him identify with, join with, participate in the sufferings and death of another man, Jesus. Read in this way, the Stabat Mater highlights the need or, perhaps more accurately, the necessity of Mary in the spiritual journey. Gerald Mays says: in my experience I have never met a sincere Western spiritual seeker who did not have to encounter Mary at some point along the way, regardless of that seeker s religious denomination. The image of Mary allows both men and women to relate their images of the divine in ways simply not possible with a totally male divinity. The Stabat Mater, I suggest, captures a way in which Mary gives access to all believers to the mystery of Jesus Christ. In a particular way, she provides male believers with a possibility for intimate relationship with the suffering and dying Jesus, that is, on the level of his vulnerabilities and our vulnerabilities as well as on the level of strong affect or feeling. By the fourteenth century, the sorrows of Mary, the Mother of God numbered seven: the presentation of Jesus in the Temple; the flight into Egypt; Jesus being lost in Jerusalem; the meeting of Mary and Jesus on the way to Calvary; the crucifixion; the taking down of Jesus body from the cross, and his burial. Pierced with a sword of sorrow, Mary stood by the cross of her Son. Let us ask Mary s help in deepening our relationship with her Son, who learned obedience from what he suffered. Pray for us, most Sorrowful Virgin, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray O God, in whose Passion, according to the prophecy of Simeon, a sword of grief pierced through the most sweet soul of glorious Blessed Virgin Mother Mary; grant that we, who celebrate the memory of her Seven Sorrows, may obtain the happy effect of Thy Passion, who lives and reigns world without end. Amen. Peace. Fr. Mark Brauer Fr.
