NOVEMBER 15-16,2014
WEEKLY REFLECTION:
Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31
When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond
pearls. (Proverbs 31:10).
In 1843, American author Nathaniel Hawthorne published a
short story called “The Birthmark.” The story focuses on a
beauful woman, Georgiana, who has one flaw: a birthmark on her face. Her husband, Aylmer, is a scienst who
wants Georgiana to be perfect. So he concocts a poon to
remove the birthmark. Unsure but wanng to please her
husband, Georgiana drinks the poon. The birthmark
slowly fades, but as it does, so dies Georgiana. In the end,
she dies, leaving a flawless corpse.
How o)en do we act like Aylmer the scienst? How o)en
do we nitpick at our spouses instead of praising them for all
the ways they bring us joy, hold our families together, and
support us in our lives of faith?
Today’s first reading describes the characteriscs of an
honorable wife. She brings her husband good, and she
devotes herself unringly to her family. She is diligent in
running her household, she reaches out to the poor, she
sacrifices much for her family, and most of all, she fears the
Lord and follows his commands.
Scholars think that readings like this one were used as
models teach young Jewish women, like the Virgin Mary.
It’s no wonder why! This descripon of an industrious,
prayerful woman has much to teach us – men and women
alike – about how to arrange our days. It depicts a home
life that is wholesome and frui.ul. It depicts a home where
spouses honor each other and where children learn the
values of faith, hard work, and mutual respect.
Of course, no home is as flawless as the home depicted in
this reading. We are, a)er all, fallible human beings! But
that doesn’t mean we cannot all aspire to this perfect ideal.
Just remember Aylmer: be sure not to kill each other in the
process!
“Holy Mary, Mother of God, help me to follow your example
in everything I do.”
