Stanislaus and Mary Elizabeth Hesselblad remained closely united to the passion of Jesus and their manifested the power of His resurrection – the Pope said in his homily canonizing the founder of the Congregation of Marian Fathers and odnowicielkę Order Bridgettine.
Referring to the Mass readings X Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Holy Father pointed out that direct us they to the mystery of God’s victory over suffering, and over death, and the Word of God calls us to remain inwardly united to the passion of our Lord appeared to us in the power of His resurrection. The passion of Christ is contained because God’s answer to the mystery of human suffering. “This was also the experience of Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary, and Mary Elizabeth Hesselblad, today announced the saints: they remained closely united to the passion of Jesus, and they manifested the power of His resurrection” – said the Pope.
Commenting on the scene of the resurrection of the prophet Elijah son of the widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17,17-24), Francis stressed that God himself takes the dead and returns her mother alive. Likewise, Jesus resurrecting the son of the widow of Nain, as if asking her to give it to him, and then “gave it to her mother.” “He asks for themselves about our death to us free of it and give us a new life” – said Pope. Similarly, with a kind of resurrection we have to do in the case of Paul, who from persecutor turned into a witness and evangelizer. “Paul says that it pleased God the Father, the Son to reveal not only him, but in it, that is, as if squeezing in his person, in body and in soul, death and resurrection of Christ. In this way the Apostle is not just a preacher, but above all a witness “- the Holy Father said.
Francis noted that something similar is also happening in all of us, because Jesus makes a shining victory of grace that It gives life. He takes away our sins, taketh them, and returns us the living Church herself. And this happens in a special way during this Holy Year of Charity.
“Church presents to us today two of their children, who are exemplary witnesses of this mystery of the resurrection. Both of them, in the words of the Psalmist, can sing forever: “You changed my dance in mourning. My God, my Lord, I will give thanks to you forever “(Ps 30, 12). And we all turn on, saying together: “I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me ‘” – concluded his homily the Pope.
Here is the text of the Pope’s homily translated into Polish:
the word of God, which we have heard, leads us to the central event of faith: God’s victory over suffering, and over death. This is the Gospel of hope, which flows from the Paschal Mystery of Christ, which radiates from his face reveals God the Father comforter of the afflicted. It is a word that calls us to remain inwardly united to the passion of our Lord, to be manifested in us the power of His resurrection.
Indeed, in the passion of Christ it is a reply of God full of fear and sometimes indignant cry that awakens in our experience of suffering and death. The idea is not to run away from the Cross, but remain there, just as it did the Virgin Mary that suffering with Jesus received the grace of hope against hope (cf. Rom. 4:18).
It was also experience Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary, and Mary Elizabeth Hesselblad, today announced the saints: they remained closely united to the passion of Jesus, and they manifested the power of His resurrection.
the first reading and the Gospel of this Sunday present us with just two miraculous signs resurrection: the first made by the prophet Elijah, the second by Jesus. In both cases, the dead are very young children of widows who are alive Attentive their mothers.
The widow of Zarephath – a woman who was not Jewish, but which, however, entertained in his house of the prophet Elijah, was outraged at the prophet and God, because just at the moment when Elijah with her visited her son fell ill and he breathed his last in her arms. Then Elijah said to the woman: “Give me your son” (1 Kings 17:19). This is the key word: expresses the attitude of God in the face of our death (in all its forms). God did not say, “Stop it, you’re on myself!” But says, “Give it to me.” And indeed the prophet takes the baby and carries to the upper chamber and there in prayer “fighting God,” showing him the absurdity of death. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah, because he is in fact, God spoke and acted by the prophet. It was he, through the mouth of Elijah, he said to the woman: “Give me your son.” And now he drew his mother alive.
The sensitivity of God is revealed fully in Jesus. We heard in the Gospel (Lk 7,11- 17), as he experienced “great compassion” (v. 13) for the widow of Nain in Galilee, which was accompanied by pochówkowi his only son, still a young man. But Jesus comes, touches mar, stops the funeral procession and certainly strokes tear-stained face of this poor mother. He tells her: “Do not cry!” (Lk 7.13). As if it asked: “Give me your son.” Jesus asks for himself about our death to us free of it and give us a new life. And indeed, the young man awoke as if from a deep sleep and began to speak. And Jesus “gave him to his mother” (v. 15). He is not a magician! This is embodied tenderness of God working in him immeasurable compassion of the Father.
His kind of resurrection is also the Apostle Paul, when the enemy and fierce persecutor of Christians turned into a witness and became a herald of the Gospel (cf. Gal 1 13-17). This radical change was not his work, but the gift of God’s mercy, that it “chose” and “called me through his grace,” and wished to reveal “in him” his Son to preach him to the Gentiles (vv. 15-16). Paul says that it pleased God the Father, the Son to reveal not only him, but in it, that is, as if squeezing in his person, in body and in soul, death and resurrection of Christ. In this way the Apostle is not just a preacher, but above all a witness.
Also in us sinners, in each, Jesus makes a shining victory of grace that gives life. And today he says Mother Church, “Give me your children”, which we all are. He takes away our sins, taketh them, and returns us the living Church herself. And this happens in a special way during this Holy Year of Charity.
