For Want of a Nail – Part 1

For want of a nail the shoe was lost; For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost; For want of a rider the message was lost. For want of a message the battle was lost; For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

That fable shows us how even the smallest, tiniest of things can have huge consequences. Because one little nail was missing, that in turn led to the loss of a kingdom. The fable is expressed in the negative – it considers only what was lost. But we can see it also in the positive: even the smallest, seemingly most insignificant things can have great consequences beyond our imaginations, beyond the scope of our vision.

What may be the first instance of evangelization in the history of the Church is when John, Andrew and another disciple met Jesus and stayed with Him for a while. Then Andrew went and found his brother Simon, and introduced him to Jesus. That’s pretty much how evangelization works. We come to know Christ, and then we bring others to meet Him as well. And what was the first thing that happened next when Jesus met Simon? He changed him. At first in name only, but then as we all know, Peter went on to become the first Pope. From this small, simple act of a man introducing his brother to Jesus, the eventual consequence was the Papacy of the Catholic Church. Like the taking of two loaves and a few fish, and feeding 5000 people, or taking twelve Apostles and creating the Catholic Church that has lasted for 2000 years, the Lord has a way of taking something small and converting it into something grand.

Currently in the Catholic Church we have what is called the New Evangelization. We are each called upon to evangelize and bring others into the Church. Some may think that means we all have to be evangelists and we have to stand on street corners handing out tracts, and we have to ask people about their faith and urge them to become Catholic.

Maybe. For one thing, there is no one way to do evangelization, but many ways. Not everyone can do certain things. Some of us just cannot confront others about something as sensitive and personal as God or the Church or faith. Some people can do that. Others have access to greater ways and means of reaching out to others to invite them to meet the Lord. There are authors, professional speakers, bishops, the Pope. And there are people who are gifted to do one on one personal evangelization.

Not all of us are called and gifted in the same way. But we are all called to make the Lord known.

It begins with a disposition of the heart, an attitude, a willingness to serve the Lord and submit to Him. The basis of our relationship with God is not a performance that we do. The basis of our relationship with God is love, the love of a Father and his beloved children. The Holy Spirit is the one doing the performing in evangelization. Our part is to cooperate, and again, we cooperate in different ways according to our gifts.

We see an instance of this in Samuel who says, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.” Samuel offers his attention and his service to God. God does the rest and makes Samuel a prophet. Samuel went on to anoint Saul, the first King, whose son was David, with whom God made a covenant of an everlasting Kingdom, the throne to which Jesus, the Son of David ascended and from which He reigns for eternity. To be continued . . .

Por falta de un Clavo – 1ª Parte Por falta de un clavo se perdió el zapato; por falta de un zapato se perdió el caballo. Por falta de un caballo se perdió el jinete; Por falta de un jinete se perdió el mensaje. Por falta del mensaje se perdió la batalla; Por falta de una batalla se perdió el reino. Y todo por falta de un clavo la herradura. Esa fábula nos muestra cómo incluso las cosas más pequeñas y más simples pueden tener enormes consecuencias. Debido a que faltaba un pequeño clavo, eso a su vez condujo a la pérdida de un reino. La fábula se expresa de forma negativa: considera solo lo que se perdió. Pero también podemos verlo de forma positiva: incluso las cosas más pequeñas, aparentemente más insignificantes, pueden tener grandes consecuencias más allá de nuestra imaginación, más allá del alcance de nuestra visión. Lo que puede ser la primera instancia de evangelización en la historia de la Iglesia es cuando San Juan, Andrés y otro discípulo se encontraron con Jesús y se quedaron con Él por un tiempo. Luego Andrés fue y encontró a su hermano Simón, y le presentó a Jesús. Así es como funciona la evangelización. Llegamos a conocer a Cristo, y luego traemos a otros para que se encuentren con Él también. ¿Y qué fue lo primero que sucedió después cuando Jesús se encontró con Simón? Él lo cambió. Al principio solo de nombre, pero como todos sabemos, San Pedro se convirtió en el primer Papa. A partir de este pequeño y simple acto de un hombre que presenta a su hermano a Jesús, la consecuencia final fue el papado de la Iglesia Católica. Como tomar dos panes y unos pocos peces, y alimentar a 5000 personas, o tomar doce Apóstoles y crear la Iglesia Católica que ha durado 2000 años, el Señor tiene la forma de tomar algo pequeño y convertirlo en algo grandioso. Actualmente en la Iglesia Católica tenemos lo que se llama la Nueva Evangelización. Todos estamos llamados a evangelizar y traer a otros a la Iglesia. Algunos pueden pensar que eso significa que todos tenemos que ser evangelizadores y tenemos que pararnos en las esquinas de las calles entregando panfletos, y tenemos que preguntarle a las personas sobre su fe e invitarlos a que se vuelvan Católicos. Tal vez. Por un lado, no hay una sola manera de evangelizar, sino muchas maneras. No todos pueden hacer ciertas cosas. Algunos de nosotros simplemente no podemos confrontar a otros sobre algo tan sensible y personal como Dios o la Iglesia o la fe. Algunas personas pueden hacer eso. Otros tienen acceso a formas y medios más amplios de llegar a otros para invitarlos a encontrarse con el Señor. Hay autores, oradores profesionales, obispos, el papa. Y hay personas que están dotadas para hacer la evangelización personal uno a uno. No todos somos llamados y dotados de la misma manera. Pero todos estamos llamados a dar a conocer al Señor. Comienza con una disposición del corazón, una actitud, una voluntad de servir al Señor y someterse a Él. La base de nuestra relación con Dios no es una actuación que hacemos. La base de nuestra relación con Dios es el amor, el amor de un Padre y sus amados hijos. El Espíritu Santo es el que realiza la evangelización. Nuestra parte es cooperar, y nuevamente, cooperamos de diferentes maneras de acuerdo con nuestros dones. Vemos un ejemplo de esto en Samuel que dice: "Habla, Señor, que tu siervo escucha". Samuel ofrece su atención y su servicio a Dios. Dios hace el resto y hace de Samuel un profeta. Samuel ungió a Saúl, el primer rey, cuyo hijo fue David, con quien Dios hizo un pacto de un Reino eterno, el trono al que Jesús, el Hijo de David ascendió y desde el cual reina por la eternidad. Continuará . . .

BooksToBorrow from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the

narthex of the church, near the bell tower door. The new

librarians, Doug and Deborah Harris, are putting our

collection of books by Fulton Sheen in the narthex to

start 2019, and gave me an interesting article by Joseph Pronechen. Here is the second installment:

First Three Falls and Rises

The first time the Church was in dire straits was in

the fall of Rome, the first 500-year period. It had a

rebirth when great saint missionaries like Augustine in

England and Patrick in Ireland spread the faith.

Then came a second “decay” around the year 1,000

with the Moslem invasions and the split of the Church

with a schism in Constantinople.

“It seemed to be the end of everything. And then

we came to life again,” Sheen said.

In the third 500-year period he said the Church

became “rotten” as nuns and priests were defecting.

Then came the reformers who “almost always reform

the wrong things. And they began reforming the faith,

and there was nothing wrong with faith — it was the

morals that needed to be reformed. It’s not renewal —

it’s really a moral reformation that is needed today,

too.” Remember, that was 44 years ago.

All the more so in our day. On just one point, how

many listened to, and took to heart, Humanae Vitae?

Even theologians defected from it.

After that period the Church came to life again,

Sheen said

“And now we’re at the fourth period, and we’re

rotting — we’re spoiled — no great zeal, no great

learning, no great fire.” Yet there’s hope because

“anyone who knows history is not particularly

disturbed.”

Church’s Enemies

“But the enemy in each of the 500-year periods has

been separate and distinct,” he continued. “We had,

and here I am speaking generally of enemies within the

Church, in the first 500 years, false doctrine centering

around the person of Christ…the Christological

heresies. So the Church was just split open, and that

was one of the reasons that made it possible for the

Moslems to develop.”

The next period saw attacks on the head of the

Church, leading to the Eastern Church breaking away.

By the 16th century the attack was on “the body

of Christ, the mystical body, the Church.” It was

Reformation time.
