The Baptism of the Lord
From the Pastors Desk
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
This weekend we close out our celebration of Christmas, with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, and Monday finds us
beginning Ordinary Time. In the past I have covered the Church’s meaning behind “Ordinary”, how it is meant for us to
Order our lives toward God, rather than the idea of regular, “Ho-hum” days and schedules. As I was preparing to share that
concept again, I thought to myself, what’s so bad about “regular”?
Most of us, having come through 2020, would likely welcome a return to the regular, the ordinary, pace of life we had
before Covid, before lockdowns, before the elections, and Murder Hornets. I know, most of you forgot about the Murder
Hornets. In all honesty, I could do with some normalcy myself, having been caught up in an abnormal situation like
everyone else. The first three months of lockdown/ isolation/ adjusting to the “New Normal” threw me for a loop, plans
that were made suddenly had to be cancelled, events postponed, and I had to find some solid ground to stand on. After the
first few days, I realized I needed to make a schedule for myself, and it worked well.
Get up in the morning. This may sound simple, we all do it, but in my case I set the alarm for the time that I would have
gotten up before Covid lockdown. Following this it was Morning Prayer and then Mass, followed by working in the
chapel, while my back would allow it, and then in the afternoons into evenings, I would focus on office work and anything
else that had to be done. It was a combination of the Spiritual, the normal, and falling back on the solid ground of my
upbringing, which had a lot of construction in it. The upside is that our renovated chapel now adds to the spiritual growth
and balance of many people in the community, as it also helped me by using my hands, spending time with God in prayer,
and for lack of a better term, reconciling my blue collar background with my faith.
It’s funny, but in the seminary, manual labor was a diversion, a way to break up the semester, except for those times it was
absolutely necessary. We had “Work Days” twice a semester, depending on what one’s ‘house job’ was, it could be inside
or out, and some one cleaning and polishing the chapels and accompanying furnishings, or setting up/taking down storm
fencing and picnic tables. There were also a few of us who would hop in to give maintenance a hand when needed, and
some of us had side projects to occupy our hands and relax our minds. Unfortunately, manual labor was not an integral part
of formation in the seminary program, and many of those studying for the priesthood looked at physical work as theoreti-
cally good, but not for priests.
It is a strong belief of mine, rooted in Christian Tradition, that we have lost something in downplaying manual labor and
the trades in our society and in the Church. As someone with alphabet soup after my name, I cannot be criticized for being
anti-intellectual, but I will say that too much focus has been placed upon academics and University degrees by our society.
While we can see the effects of so many college graduates unable to find appropriate work and dealing with student loan
debt, as well as a lack of qualified people in the various trades, we can talk about the economic effects elsewhere. What
really concerns me, is that as Catholics we focused so much on education, or rather education directed towards higher
education, we failed to recognize the great value of work. There is after all, a great correlation between our Faith and the
trades, since we were founded by a carpenter, who was the son of a carpenter.One of the casualties of this devaluation of work in preference of academics, is that our religious orders turned their focus away from one of the great spiritual works of… work. St. Francis of Assisi, one of the most admired of our saints, insisted that his order not become caught up in academics and intellectualism. While we recognize early figures in the Franciscan family (i.e.: St. Bonaventure) as laying the groundwork for the excellent academic programs run by Franciscans today, there is something to be said for the Catholic Workers (not the social justice newspaper). In religious communities, there were men and women who excelled in aca- demic or artistic work, but for each of them, there were also those who were able to raise crops, harvest the beeswax for the candles that were needed to read and write by. After hours of teaching children in classrooms, most nuns, brothers, and those priests in communities, could sit down to a meal prepared by members of their communities that did not teach, and sleep in beds with sheets washed by their brothers or sisters. None of them were less than the others. As time progresses, it is my hope that we, in the Church, can return to a greater appreciation of manual labor FORMED es gratuito para todas las personas de la parroquia.
