FROM THE PASTOR You may recall my column of a couple weeks back in which I discussed a play called “Every Brilliant Thing.” In that column, inspired by the play, I invited myself and all of you to make a habit, as this New Year begins, of writing out our own lists of “brilliant things” which we experience daily – things that make life beautiful and worth living. You know, God is good; and he tends to hear our prayers, even when we don’t voice them directly. Anyway, he obviously read my above-referenced column as a prayer; because he sent me a “brilliant thing” recently. It was my monthly 1-hour spirituality session with those guests of our Food Faith & Friends program who opt to remain for it. Since Epiphany had just passed, I decided we might read and discuss the classic short story by O. Henry entitled “The Gift of the Magi.” I paired this little gem with my own column on “Every Brilliant Thing”… As they often do, our guests floored me with their insight and their faith. At some point, just about every one of them jumped in to share an insight or an experience of their own. They also listened attentively to one another, and offered support, both verbal and nonverbal. It was, of course, their genuineness and conviction which moved me; I’ll say more of that in a minute… But first, a refresher… Most of you probably read “The Gift of the Magi” in high school or college. It was published originally in 1905 (and is readily available for free online). It was meant to be contemporary then. The relative value of a 1905 dollar versus a 2015 dollar is striking indeed!! Anyway, the story tells of Jim and Della – a young newlywed couple of (very) slender means who are very much in love. As Christmas draws near, each of the young marrieds wants to get a special gift for the other; but money is obviously tight. They own between them, as the author tells it, only two things of any real value. Della has long, thick, beautiful hair; and Jim has a gold pocket watch which had once belonged to his father, and to his father’s father before that. Intending to surprise one another, Jim pawns his watch in order to purchase some bejeweled combs which Della had admired in a store window, while Della sells her hair to buy a worthy gold chain for Jim’s precious watch. When they recover from the mutual shock of each other’s ironic sacrifice, Jim – having hugged Della tight – wisely says: “Della, let’s put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They’re too nice to use now... And now I think we should have our dinner.” O. Henry, reflecting the tastes of his day, is not at all reticent to moralize. He declares at the end of his tale: “The magi, as you know, were wise men— wonderfully wise men— who brought gifts to the newborn Christ-child. They were the first to give Christmas gifts. Being wise, their gifts were doubtless wise ones. “And here I have told you the story of two children who were not wise. Each sold the most valuable thing he owned in order to buy a gift for the other. But let me speak a last word to the wise of these days: Of all who give gifts, these two were the most wise. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are the most wise. Everywhere they are the wise ones. They are the magi.” Which leads me back to my own God-given “brilliant thing” with our FF & F guests. Once again, they floored me with the depth of their own spirituality. They expressed only compassion – and even near-pity – for the wealthy in our culture. Some recalled having had periods of relative wealth themselves; and they freely acknowledged that during those periods, they had worked too hard and too long, worried too much about safeguarding their possessions, and often missed the most precious things in life, which (as Della and Jim illustrate) have to do with the free giving and receiving of love. Our guests also had no difficulty at all in naming any number of “brilliant things” in their recent experience for which they thanked God unapologetically, and with great enthusiasm. I was reminded yet again that to “find God in all things,” you need to have your eyes and ears open – and your humility in abundant supply. The “icing on the cake.” One of our guests had recently lost most of his possessions in a fire. Having openly thanked God for keeping him and his housemate safe, he asked me quietly if we could help him to get some clothes. The short answer would have been “no,” as we no longer collect and store clothing on an ongoing basis. But as it happens, I personally had several boxes of clothes which no longer fit me, and which were waiting for me to deliver them to a neighborhood thrift store. Amazingly – no, providentially! – about three-quarters of them were the exact right sizes for our guest. So he and I thanked God together for this latest gift, and for “every brilliant thing.” —Fr. Dan HOLIDAY THANKS Thanks For Beautifully "Decked Halls": As always, special thanks to Joe Casey and his volunteer "elves" for the beautiful Advent and Christmas decorations.

INTERFAITH On Tuesday, January 27, 2015 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Old St Joseph's 3rd floor Library we will discuss the book The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain. A review on Amazon describes the book as follows: María Rosa Menocal's wafting, ineffably sad The Ornament of the World tells of a time and place--from 786 to 1492, in Andalucía, Spain--that is largely and unjustly overshadowed in most historical chronicles. It was a time when three cultures--Judaic, Islamic, and Christian--forged a relatively stable (though occasionally contentious) coexistence. Such was this period that there remains in Toledo a church with an "homage to Arabic writing on its walls [and] a sumptuous 14th-century synagogue built to look like Granada's Alhambra." Long gone, however, is the Córdoba library--a thousand times larger than any other in Christian Europe. Menocal's history is one of palatine cities, of philosophers, of poets whose work inspired Chaucer and Boccaccio, of weeping fountains, breezy courtyards, and a long-running tolerance "profoundly rooted in the cultivation of the complexities, charms and challenges of contradictions," which ended with the repression of Judaism and Islam the same year Columbus sailed to the New World. --H. O'Billovich. The book is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the Free Library of Philadelphia. And all also have e-editions. WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES World Meeting of Families: Archbishop Chaput Wants YOU! In a letter to all the people of the Archdiocese dated December 15, Archbishop Chaput has invited us all to consider being personally involved next year in the World Meeting of Families in a special way. He expects over 5,000 reporters to be here covering the meeting, and so identifies a need for well-informed priests, religious, and lay people from across the Archdiocese who represent the broad spectrum of our diverse Catholic family to help speak to the media about Church teaching on a variety of matters. In order to help prepare people, both the Archdiocese and the World Meeting of Families have partnered with Catholic Voices, USA, which provides media training to Catholics so that they can speak to the press about their faith with confidence, comfort, and sensitivity. Training sessions focus not only on interviewing techniques, but also on how to field questions that might seem critical of the Church and her teachings by embracing them as a way to provide clarity and understanding. Catholic Voices will host an initial information session for all those interested; the meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 13th at 6:00 p.m. in the Vianney Hall Auditorium at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary. Representatives from Catholic Voices, the Archdiocese, and the World Meeting of Families will provide detailed information at that time. You’ll be able to learn more, ask questions, and decide if this opportunity is right for you. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to the Archdiocesan Office for Communications at 215-5873747 or [email protected]. Thank you for all of your continued support. Please continue to pray for the success of our efforts as we prepare to welcome Pope Francis and the world to Philadelphia next year.
