Blast from the Past(or)
Seventh Sunday of Easter
May 12, 2013
This is the season of commencement speeches, where young graduates are addressed with talks of encouragement in the virtues and of their role in the world in preparation for the future. Perhaps you recall your high school commencement speaker. Or, maybe you don't. I would submit that many of these talks are less-than-memorable. My own lack of recollection of my college commencement speaker however, is a different matter altogether. Anyway, one commencement address brought to my attention was given last week at Regent University in Virginia. There, Ryan Anderson told the graduates: 'you graduate into a society of widespread individualism and relativism, where man is the measure of all things. You will hear people speak of human rights, but rarely of human nature, or nature's Author. You will hear people appeal to natural rights, but rarely to natural law, or the Natural Lawgiver.' Bravo.
On this last Sunday of Easter, we're privy to a kind of commencement speech in the form of Jesus lifting His eyes to heaven and praying to His Father. Jesus' prayer is an encouragement for us in this time of transition from Easter to Ordinary Time. As we prepare for the Gift of the Holy Spirit, we must face the future with the bravery of Christian conviction. 'And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me.....Father, they are your gift to me.'
God Bless you!!!!
