A Note from Sarah Schnapf,
Spiritual Life & Worship Committee
Holy Redeemer friends & visitors,
On this fourth Sunday of Lent there’s a simplicity in the atmosphere of Holy Mother Church. During Mass this past weekend, the Gospel was being proclaimed about the Samaritan woman. According to the Eastern Orthodox Church tradition her name is Photina. She finally found her Beloved in Christ Jesus then became a bold evangelizer, converted many to Christianity and was martyred under the Emperor Nero.
We may be fasting but we’re getting nourished by His Word and sacraments. As we hear the Gospel of John proclaimed on this Laetare Sunday and really all Lenten Gospels; they’re just so meaty and give us a lot to sink our spiritual teeth in.
“If I don’t know how to practice community, I’m not gonna thrive in my vocation because vocation required community.” stated by Emily Wilson-Hussem (2020).
I’ve watched “When will my vocation begin?” from Seek 2020 countless times. Part of Emilys’ talk spoke of how geese can teach us about community. You may have a gaggle of reasons or a fowl opinion of our feathered creatures. It could change your prescriptive how your view on geese.
Here’s a summarization of what Emily Wilson-Hussem spoke of during Seek 2020 with Focus Catholic: Geese are amazing and can teach us about community. First, geese choose friends going in the same direction. They wouldn’t get to their winter destination. As Christians it’s essential to find people going in the same direction. As Catholics we see out of the relationship and the lens of Jesus Christ, the Eucharist, the Resurrection, my sorrows, joys and sufferings. What is our destination? It’s Heaven! We need to be surrounded by others striving for Heaven but spending time with non-Catholics and people who don’t carry the same beliefs/convictions. Jesus hung out with prostitutes, tax collectors and people who did everything that he said not to do. Second, geese fly in a V formation. When flying each goose flaps, it’s wings and creates an uplift for the goose behind it. Science says they can travel at least 50% further than if they traveled by themselves. It shows us how community thus stamina and endurance can get us through life. When Jesus established the Church, He said we are not meant to be alone. This sense of community helps us to remember we share a common goal, but the reality is that we get tired. If we have people going in the same direction they create the uplift for you. Be with people who get the journey, who understand and care for your wellbeing. Lastly, geese fly as a team taking turns as leader. And help geese who are tired or sick by focusing on their uplift and flying in front of them. I bet you didn’t know geese could teach us so much.
You don’t have to wing it, whether you’re in a Lenten pocket now or any day ending in Y. If you fall short continue to plant seeds of the goodness of God. Have a faithful Lent & get your Holy Week Jerusalem pass ready for Via Dolorosa. Let us Rejoice together on a glorious Easter morning.
