How Shall We Repay the Lord for all His Goodness To Us?
From the Detailed Rules for Monks
by Saint Basil the Great, bishop
What words can adequately describe God’s
gifts? They are so numerous that they defy
enumeration. They are so great that any one of them
demands our total gratitude in response. Yet even
though we cannot speak of it worthily, there is one
gift which no thoughtful man can pass over in
silence. God fashioned man in his own image and
likeness; he gave him knowledge of himself; he
endowed him with the ability to think which raised
him above all living creatures; he permitted him to
delight in the unimaginable beauties of paradise,
and gave him dominion over everything upon earth.
Then, when man was deceived by the
serpent and fell into sin, which led to death and to all
the sufferings associated with death, God still did not
forsake him. He first gave man the law to help him;
he set angels over him to guard him; he sent the
prophets to denounce vice and to teach virtue; he
restrained man’s evil impulses by warnings and
roused his desire for virtue by promises. Frequently,
by way of warning, God showed him the respective
ends of virtue and of vice in the lives of other men.
Moreover, when man continued in disobedience
even after he had done all this, God did not desert
him.
No, we were not abandoned by the
goodness of the Lord. Even the insult we offered to
our Benefactor by despising his gifts did not destroy
his love for us. On the contrary, although we were
dead, our Lord Jesus Christ restored us to life again,
and in a way even more amazing than the fact itself,

St. Edward School
(Continued from page 1)
for his state was divine, yet he did not cling to his
equality with God, but emptied himself to assume
the condition of a slave.
He bore our infirmities and endured our
sorrows. He was wounded for our sake so that by
his wounds we might be healed. He redeemed us
from the curse by becoming a curse for our sake,
and he submitted to the most ignominious death in
order to exalt us to the life of glory. Nor was he
content merely to summon us back from death to
life; he also bestowed on us the dignity of his own
divine nature and prepared for us a place of eternal
rest where there will be joy so intense as to surpass
all human imagination.
How, then, shall we repay the Lord for all his
goodness to us? He is so good that he asks no
recompense except our love: that is the only
payment he desires. To confess my personal
feelings, when I reflect on all these blessings I am
overcome by a kind of dread and numbness at the
very possibility of ceasing to love God and of
bringing shame upon Christ became of my lack of
recollection and my preoccupation with trivialities.

Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time
A Geography of Holiness
Art and photography are all aids in the work of
contemplation. They enrich our lives with beauty and help lift
our minds and hearts to God the Creator. They bring us
closer to the One Who is the Author of all that is beautiful,
sacred and universal.
Who can express the binding power of divine love? Who can
find words for the splendor of its beauty? Beyond all
description are the heights to which it lifts us. (Pope St.
Clement I)

MISSA
DOMINGO
IV DO TEMPO
COMUM
Comentário: O Evangelho que nos é apresentado neste 4º
domingo do tempo comum, nos mostra como desde o início
de sua obra, Marcos apresenta Jesus como um mestre
extraordinário quer nas suas palavras quer nas suas
atitudes: um mestre que deixa as pessoas maravilhadas
porque ensina com autoridade. Como veremos, o que
acontece nessa primeira atividade pública de Jesus é o que
caracterizará toda a sua obra.
Em primeiro lugar, Jesus vai a Cafarnaum acompanhado de
seus discípulos, os quais igualmente deixam a sinagoga
junto com ele (1,29); é a tarefa principal do discípulo que
aqui aparece: seguir Jesus, onde quer que ele vá, e
deixando-se influenciar por ele.
Lá na sinagoga, Jesus ensina. Ensinar é a sua atividade
principal, desde o início até o fim de sua missão. Jesus é o
Rabbi, Mestre. No texto em questão, a característica
principal da sua qualidade de mestre é o efeito do seu
ensinamento, que percebemos a partir da experiência dos
ouvintes na sinagoga. O povo ficou extasiado; o povo se deu
conta da autoridade particular de Jesus, reconhecendo a
grande diferença entre o ensinamento dele e o dos escribas.
Temor, surpresa, admiração, mas também tantas
esperanças foram os sentimentos que aquele novo Rabbi
misterioso, convincente e poderoso, suscitou no coração de
todos (logo se espalhou por toda a parte).
Os escribas conhecem as Escrituras de cor e salteado,
sobretudo os cinco livros da Torá (Pentateuco). Eles as
interpretam, e indicam ao povo como devem se comportar
para fazer a vontade de Deus. Jesus ensina diferentemente.
Ele fala e age. O fato de Marcos ter unido e interligado o
anúncio de um ensinamento dado com autoridade e o relato
da expulsão de um demônio dá ao conjunto um significado
particular: o ensinamento se reduz aqui a ordem que Jesus
dá ao demônio: “Cala-te e sai dele!”. O evangelista
apresenta tudo como se fosse exatamente esta a palavra
cheia de autoridade de Jesus. De fato, esta autoridade não
se reduz ao prestígio da palavra ou a um modo convincente
de expressar-se. Mas consiste na eficácia de uma palavra
que produz aquilo que diz. Por isso, não é sem importância
que a cena se desenvolva numa sinagoga e que Marcos
contraponha a autoridade de Jesus àquela dos escribas. O
texto sugere a oposição entre a ineficácia da lei e a eficácia
da Palavra de Cristo.
Os escribas, por sua vez, acusam Jesus de blasfêmia. Isto
faz com que percebamos que toda a sua atividade pública
no evangelho de Marcos é acompanhada por essa tríplice
característica: Jesus está sempre acompanhado pelos
discípulos, é muito admirado pelo povo e é rejeitado pelos
chefes religiosos judaicos.
Jesus expulsa os espíritos maus. É este o ensinamento que
Missa Domingo IV Do Tempo Comum
resulta numa ação potente presente em nosso texto. Na
linguagem bíblica, os espíritos maus, imundos, aparecem
como poderes não humanos, estão em oposição ao Espírito
Santo de Deus e fazem o mal às pessoas. Desviam as
pessoas, impedindo-as de agirem livremente. Mas Jesus é
bem superior a eles. Com uma só palavra vence o poder
deles, libertando a humanidade da escravidão, e restituindo
a ela a liberdade.
Tudo isso porque Jesus tem uma relação especial com
Deus, a qual reconhecem em primeiro lugar os demônios.
Na sinagoga, um deles grita: “que queres de nós, Jesus
nazareno? Viestes para nos destruir? Eu sei quem tu és: tu
és o Santo de Deus”. Aqui aparece a missão e a identidade
de Jesus, revelada pelo espírito mau que se descontrola
diante de Jesus.
O relato do homem possuído por um espírito imundo, que
grita e se contorce, leva a algumas reflexões sobre a
existência dos espíritos maus que, de forma múltipla e
dramática, atormentam pessoas no corpo e no espírito.
Hoje, com a ciência, já sabemos que muitas doenças
atribuídas ao demônio, eram e são ainda hoje verdadeiras
doenças psíquicas como a esquizofrenia e as diversas
formas de convulsão como a epilepsia e outras. Isto, porém,
não nos deve chegar à conclusão de que não exista o
demônio. Ele existe sim e exerce influência negativa sobre
nós; negar o espírito maligno seria uma ingenuidade que
serviria só para fazer crescer a expansão do mal, do pecado
e de tudo o que é negativo que possamos imaginar. Os
evangelhos nos apresentam numerosos milagres de Jesus
para com as pessoas vítimas de males estranhos de
natureza psicofísica; na verdade, a ação curadora de Jesus
abraça a pessoa de modo integral: Jesus cura, ao mesmo
tempo, o corpo, a psique e a alma. Que ele nos liberte de
todo o mal! -Pe Carlos Henrique Nascimento
