Night Surrender to Praise at Dawn – Nov. 16, 2021

“In the middle of the night I hold hands with trust and surrender to the One who sees without a light… My prayer travels deep into my soul space, into the essence of my being.

Rising from sleep, I raise high the chalice of my life. Dressed in robes of joyful anticipation, I enter this day with an open heart. This is the awakening hour. This is the hour of praise. ‘O medicine of dawn; O healing drink of morning!’ Offering both words and silence, I join in the dance of creation.”

–Macrina Wiederkehr, Seven Sacred Pauses: Living Mindfully Through the Hours of the Day, p. 29 and 47

SAINT OF THE DAY (October 18)

On October 18, Catholics and other Christians around the world will celebrate the feast of St. Luke, the physician and companion of St. Paul whose gospel preserved the most extensive biography of Jesus Christ.

St. Luke wrote a greater volume of the New Testament than any other single author, including the earliest history of the Church.

Ancient traditions also acknowledge Luke as the founder of Christian iconography, making him a patron of artists, as well as doctors and other medical caregivers.

Luke came from the large metropolitan city of Antioch, a part of modern-day Turkey.

In Luke's lifetime, his native city emerged as an important center of early Christianity.

During the future saint's early years, the city's port had already become a cultural center, renowned for arts and sciences.

Historians do not know whether Luke came to Christianity from Judaism or paganism, although there are strong suggestions that Luke was a gentile convert.

Educated as a physician in the Greek-speaking city, Luke was among the most cultured and cosmopolitan members of the early Church.

Scholars of archeology and ancient literature have ranked him among the top historians of his time period, besides noting the outstanding Greek prose style and technical accuracy of his accounts of Christ's life and the apostles' missionary journeys.

Other students of biblical history adduce from Luke's writings that he was the only evangelist to incorporate the personal testimony of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose role in Christ's life emerges most clearly in his gospel.

Tradition credits him with painting several icons of Christ's mother, and one of the sacred portraits ascribed to him — known by the title “Salvation of the Roman People” — survives to this day in the Basilica of St. Mary Major.

Some traditions hold that Luke became a direct disciple of Jesus before his ascension, while others hold that he became a believer only afterward.

After St. Paul's conversion, Luke accompanied him as his personal physician and, in effect, as a kind of biographer, since the journeys of Paul on which Luke accompanied him occupy a large portion of the Acts of the Apostles.

Luke probably wrote this text, the final narrative portion of the New Testament, in the city of Rome where the account ends.

Luke was also among the only companions of Paul who did not abandon him during his final imprisonment and death in Rome.

After the martyrdom of St. Paul in the year 67, St. Luke is said to have preached elsewhere throughout the Mediterranean and possibly died as a martyr. However, even tradition is unclear on this point.

Fittingly, the evangelist whose travels and erudition could have filled volumes wrote just enough to proclaim the gospel and apostolic preaching to the world.

The Ascent to God

Photo by Jakub Stekla on Unsplash

Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time | USCCB

Because God is merciful, it has been His will that those who love Him and are willing to put Him above the things of this world may receive even in this life the two hundredfold that He promised. Consequently, we have the Beatitudes which Jesus preached on the hill.

And even though we see them through the shadows of our human imperfection which means that we are not able to fully comprehend while we are here in this valley of tears called earth, the Beatitudes are a roadmap towards reaching eternal happiness.

The Beatitudes can be a source of consolation for those who hunger for love and thirst for happiness.

The Beatitudes are a whisper, a breath of new life for souls who have longed for a word of hope, if they are willing to hear it, it can be found in the Beatitudes. They are a breath of fresh air, to inspire us to live in those highest places that God has for those who follow Him, letting us be carried away by Him to the highest spiritual places, unafraid because “He will raise you up on eagles' wings, He will shelter you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge” (Ps. 91)

The Beatitudes are an ascending chain of mountains where every peak is a step which gets us closer and closer to God.

Each of the Beatitudes is, in the words of Saint Thomas Aquinas, “something perfect and excellent—a peak unto itself, and at the same time it is the beginning of the happiness to come even in this life.”

All of the Beatitudes are noble ideal peaks, but there is a constant ascension from the beginning all the way to the very last one, that promises us heaven itself.

It begins with the freedom of detachment, or letting go that spiritual poverty gives us, then the cleansing waterfall of mournful tears; after which comes the fullness of justice and the gentleness of mercy. And there, very close to heaven, there is the light of purity, the peace that only love can give and the ectasis of martyrdom.

When Jesus let His lips be opened to reveal to us the mysteries of the Beatitudes, He painted for us a landscape of the spiritual ascent towards that happiness AND the qualities that must be possessed by those who aspire to ascend the stairway that leads to heaven where the Beatitudes lead.

Through the Beatitudes, Jesus was painting a self-portrait. A portrait of Himself AND the portrait of the qualities He desires in each of His disciples. Jesus is poor in spirit and mourns and weeps over His people, Jesus is meek and humble of heart. Jesus hungers and thirsts for righteousness. Jesus desires mercy and is pure and clean of heart. Jesus seeks peace and turns the other cheek when his beard was plucked and when he was spat on. He is persecuted for announcing the Kingdom of God is at hand.

The first step for him or her who desires the blessedness described by the Beatitudes is to be willing to sincerely, totally and completely give up the false and passing joys of this world.

For over twenty-one centuries, the antidote against the frivolous life and the misleading happiness, like honors, wealth, the material things that can be suddenly lost; the antidote to these frivolous things, has been found in the pages of the gospels:

We are cautioned in Luke 6: Woe to you, who now receive all your consolation.

“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you,…” (Lk 6:24-26) Unfortunately, many people don’t take the time to learn how to read the Gospels and what this warning means. They become fascinated by the things of the world and no longer take time to find out what the Word of God means in our lives. That is why there are less and less people willing to be happy.

It is hard to take our love away from the things that don’t deserve our love like wealth and the things that can be taken by others like cars, and anything that is outside of us or anything that others can manipulate like our reputation, our prestige.

It is hard to take our love away from those things, to give it all to Jesus. Those things do deserve our attention, yes. They do deserve an important place, but love? No!

Happiness, real happiness is peace of mind. Real happiness is being at peace. Often, when Jesus first greeted people he told them, “Do not be afraid”. Another way of saying “do not be afraid” would be, “be without anxiety”, or “be at peace”, or “be free from anxiety and fear” which is being at peace, therefore, real happiness, is a sense of not being afraid, not being anxious, being at peace.

So, happiness can’t be found in the things purely of this world.

The Kingdom of God is inside of you. Because the Kingdom of God can’t be found in things. It can’t be found in food, or in drink, it is found in justice, in peace and the joy of the Holy Spirit that we can only find through Christ.

The Dream of St. Luke by Antonio Gattorno (1946) & St. Luke by Jacopo Pontormo (1525)

Jesus & St. Luke, the Physician

The physician asked whether He could tell whether a man was of a dry, matter-of-fact nature or of a phlegmatic disposition, under what planets such a one was born, what simples were good for this or that temperament, and how the human body is formed. Jesus answered him with great wisdom. He spoke of the complexion of some of those present, their diseases and the remedies, and of the human body, with a depth of knowledge quite unknown to the physician. He spoke of life, of the spirit, and how it influences the body, of sicknesses that could be cured only by prayer and amendment, of such as needed medicine for their cure—and that in language so profound, and yet so beautiful, that the physician in astonishment declared himself vanquished and that he had never before heard such things. I think he afterward became one of Jesus' disciples. Jesus described to him the human body with all its members, muscles, veins, nerves, and intestines, their special functions and their various relations one with another, in general terms and yet with such accuracy that His questioner was humbled and silenced.

—Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, The Life of Jesus Christ & Biblical Revelations

Compassion in the highest sense of the word is the ideal of the Buddhist; the aim of one who lives according to the message of the Gospel of St. Luke is to unfold love that acts. The true Buddhist can himself share in the sufferings of the sick; from the Gospel of St. Luke comes the call to take active steps to do whatever is possible to bring about healing. Buddhism helps us to understand everything that stirs the human soul; the Gospel of St. Luke calls upon us to abstain from passing judgment, to do more than is done to us, to give more than we receive! Although in this Gospel there is the purest, most genuine Buddhism, love translated into deed must be regarded as a progression, a sublimation, of Buddhism.

This aspect of Christianity — Buddhism raised to a higher level — could be truly described only by one possessed of the heart and disposition of the writer of the Gospel of St. Luke. It was eminently possible for him to portray Christ Jesus as the Healer of body and soul because having himself worked as a physician he was able to write in the way that appealed so deeply to the hearts of men. That he recorded what he had to say about Christ Jesus from the standpoint of a physician will become more and more apparent as we penetrate into the depths of the Gospel.

—Rudolf Steiner, The Gospel of St. Luke: Lecture III

Time for a round up of my favorite things ever: old Gilmore Girls promos! If you’ve never seen these, you’re in for a treat because I laugh so hard every time.

This is my personal favorite. You’ll notice that green is a theme in the later season promos. Luke peering around the corner is the best part of this 💀

More green! Also, more creepy faces and bad editing. Sorry for another Christopher promo, but the shitty editing and the way they make it seem Lorelai has never heard the word fiancé before is perfect advertising.

Luke and Lorelai advertising is good as well. Here Luke is again, hiding behind Lorelai. I also love how Luke is never dressed how he actually dresses in the show. Also, let’s just appreciate the way Lorelai is holding that apple.

I found this promo twice, once with Logan and once with Dean, I’m not sure which one I like better…

I’ve found that the earlier season Gilmore Girls promos are almost exclusively in black and white, which really adds to the drama. I know this is supposed to be dramatic, but it just looks like Dean and Jess are about to kiss.
