In the book I Like Being Catholic, the authors list ten
reasons for parents to raise their children Catholic. A few of
them are: So they’ll have some rules to reject when their
teenagers. So they’ll have some rules to reconsider when they
have kids of their own. So they’ll have rules to cherish for the
rest of their lives. So they’ll have something to hold onto when
times are bad. So they’ll come to know every person wears the
face of Christ in a different way, even those who seem to be
enemies. So they’ll know about Jesus’ death and resurrection
and understand life is more than suffering.
While the list starts off somewhat tongue in cheek, it
eventually gets to more serious values, like realizing the presence
of Christ in others and the importance of knowing about Jesus’
death and resurrection, and having values to cherish and hold
onto when times are bad.
The gospel writer Mark would agree with the need to know
about Jesus as one who suffered, died, and rose for us. He
presents Jesus telling his disciples about his coming suffering
and death on three different occasions. This weekend’s gospel
comes right after Jesus has spoken about his suffering and death
for the third time.
It as though James and John have not heard one word of
what Jesus has told them about the suffering and death that
await him in Jerusalem. All they are concerned about is what
Jesus can make happen for them when he comes into “his glory.”
What they want, they tell him, are the two best places next to
him, on his right and on his left. Jesus answers with the images
of “cup” and “baptism.” In the Old Testament, the cup was a rich
and ambivalent symbol. It could refer not only to overflowing joy
and communion with God and God’s salvation, but also to the
draining of the painful cup of punishment. In his passion, Jesus
will gulp down the sins of the world, drain the cup of suffering
and wrath so it may be filled with the joy of salvation.
Jesus presents a model for greatness when he says that he
has “come not to be served but to serve, to give [my] life in as
ransom for the many.” The Son of God chose to be born of a
teenage Jewish girl in a stable. God-in-flesh walked the roads of
Palestine for three rough years healing the sick and raising the
dead. He made friends with prostitutes and the poor, with
sinners and outcasts. He let his enemies beat his back with
whips, crown his head with thorns, nail him between two
robbers, curse him till he gasped his life away. He did this
because he loved every woman and man he had shaped in his
image; because he wanted to experience what they were going
through; because he cared— cared enough to live for others and
to die for them.
The final reason for raising children as Catholic was stated
in this way: “So they’ll know heaven begins on the spot where
they’re standing and they are here for God and God is with them
always.” Not a bad legacy to hand on. May we find meaning and
joy in this message and in the mission entrusted to us.

Just for fun… Ole & Sven were coming in
for a landing. Ole cried, “Sven, that runway is
small, give me 1/4 flap!” As they get closer, Ole
yelled, “Dang that’s a small airport! Give me 1/2
flaps.” As they’re coming in closer, Ole says, “Sven,
give me FULL FLAPS!” They land safely & Ole
sighs, “That’s the smallest runway I’ve ever landed
on.” Sven nods, “Yeah, Ole, it is! But look how
WIDE it is!”
