Reflection

Describe occasions in your life, when you suddenly became aware that God was with you? When do you feel closest to God?

“The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

While they were still speaking about this,

he stood in their midst and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’

But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.

Then he said, ‘Why are you troubled? Why do questions arise in your hearts?

Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.

Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.’ And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’

They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them.

He said, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses

and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.’

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he said to them,

‘Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer, rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

You are witnesses of these things.’”

Luke 24:35-48

February 3, 1544 – April 15, 1607

Like so many of us, Caesar de Bus struggled with the de- cision about what to do with his life. After completing his Jesuit education he had difficulty settling between a mili- tary and a literary career. He wrote some plays but ulti- mately settled for life in the army and at court. For a time, life was going rather smoothly for the engaging, well-to- do young Frenchman. He was confident he had made the right choice. That was until he saw

firsthand the realities of battle, including the Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacres of French Protestants in 1572. He fell seri- ously ill and found himself reviewing his priorities, including his spiritual life. By the time he had recovered, Caesar had re- solved to become a priest. Following his ordination in 1582, he undertook special pastoral work: teaching the catechism to ordinary people living in neglected, rural, out-of-the-way places. His efforts were badly needed and well received. Working with his cousin, Caesar developed a pro- gram of family catechesis. The goal—to

ward off heresy among the people—met the approval of local bishops. Out of these efforts grew a new religious congregation: the Fathers of Christian Doctrine.

One of Caesar’s works, Instructions for the Family on the Four Parts of the Roman Catechism, was published 60 years after his death. He was beatified in 1975.

Reflection

“Family catechesis” is a familiar term in parish life today.

Grounded in the certainty that children learn their faith first from their parents, programs that deepen parental involvement in religious education multiply everywhere.

There were no such programs in Caesar’s day until he saw a need and created them. Other needs abound in our par- ishes, and it’s up to us to respond by finding ways to fill them or by joining in already established efforts.

S

El 3 de Febrero, 1544 – 15 de Abril, 1607 Así como tantos de nosotros, César de Bus luchó con la decisión acerca de lo que debía hacer con su vida. Al ter- minar su educación Jesuita, se le dificultó decidir entre una carrera militar y una literaria. Compuso algunas obras teatrales pero al final optó por la vida militar y judicial.

Por un tiempo le iba medio bien para este simpático y rico joven Francés. Sintió confianza de haber tomado la deci-

sión correcta. Pero entonces presenció a prime- ra mano las realidades del campo de batalla incluyendo el masacre en el día de San Barto- lomoe de los Protestantes Franceses en 1572.

Cayó seriamente enfermo y se encontró con- templando sus prioridades, incluyendo su vida espiritual. Ya para cuando se recuperó, había decidido volverse en sacerdote. Ya de su orde- nación en 1582, se encargó de una obra pasto- ral especial: catequizar a las personas que vi- vían en sectores marginados, en los campos y en la periferia. Sus esfuerzos fueron muy nece- sitados y bien recibidos. Trabajando con su primo, César desarrollo un programa de cate- quesis familiar. La meta – de evitar la herejía entre el pueblo – encontró aprobación entre los obispos locales. De estos esfuerzos, nació una nueva congregación religiosa: los Padres de la Doctrina Cristiana. Uno de los escritos de Cesar, Instrucciones para la Familia sobre los Cuatro Puntos del Catecismo Romano, fue publicado 60 días después de su muerte. Fue beatificado en 1975.

Reflexión

“La Catequesis Familiar” es un término conocido en la vida familiar hoy en día. Arraigado en la verdad de que los niños aprenden la fe primero con sus padres, los progra- mas que fortalecen la participación de los padres en la educación religiosa se multiplican por dondequiera. No existían tales programas en la época de César hasta que él identificó la necesidad y los creó. Otras necesidades abundan en nuestras parroquias y corresponde a nosotros solucionarlas o unirnos a los esfuerzos establecidos.

Can you find these words from today’s Gospel hidden in the puzzle above?

CHRIST DISCIPLES FISH

FORGIVENESS GHOST HEARTS

INCREDULOUS JERUSALEM PEACE

PROPHETS PSALMS ` QUESTIONS

REPENTANCE SCRIPTURES WITNESSES

Today’s reading from the Gospel of Luke follows immediately after the report of Jesus' appearance to his disci- ples on the road to Emmaus. This is the event being recounted by the disci- ples in the opening verse. Consistently in the reports of Jesus’ post-

Resurrection appearances, Jesus greets his disciples with the words, “Peace be with you.” This is a most appropriate greeting. The disciples have witnessed the death of someone they loved and now fear for their own lives as well. Peace is what they need more than anything. Jesus often connects this greeting of peace with another gift—forgiveness. Today, this connection is made in the final verses. Even as they hear Jesus’

greeting of peace, the disciples are startled and terri- fied. They are uncertain about what to make of the figure before them and, quite understandably, they mistake Jesus for a ghost. Yet the figure before them is not a ghost; Jesus invites them to experience his resur- rected body with their senses, to look and to touch.

The figure before them is flesh and bone, still bearing the marks of crucifixion. While the disciples cannot forget his suffering and death, peace begins to take root in their hearts as their fears turn to joy and amaze- ment.

As further proof of his identity and of his resurrected body, Jesus eats with his disciples. They have known Jesus best through the meals that he has shared with them. Descriptions of these meals are a defining ele- ment of Luke’s Gospel. By eating with his disciples after his Resurrection, Jesus recalls all these meals, and most importantly, the Last Supper.

Luke’s report of the Last Supper and the meals Jesus shared after his Resurrection unveil for us the signifi- cance of the Eucharist. Having shared a meal with his disciples, Jesus now uncovers the significance of what was written about him in the Scriptures. So, too, our celebration of the Mass is an encounter with Jesus, through the Word and the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

As Jesus commissions his disciples to be witnesses to what Scriptures foretold, our celebration of the Eucha- rist commissions us. Like the disciples, we are sent to announce the good news of Jesus’ forgiveness of sins Loyola Press
