Today’s Liturgy
By Deacon Owen Cummings
The Beatitudes from the Lord’s
Sermon on the Mount form our
Gospel reading for the solemnity of
All Saints. Each beatitude reflects the
present order in the first part, even
as it looks to the final consummation
in the second. Earth and heaven are
brought into conjunction. This is really
what Jesus is: earth and heaven in
one Person. In reality the Beatitudes
describe the person of Jesus himself.
The Anglican New Testament scholar,
R. H. Fuller, puts it nicely when he
says, “He was all the things and did all
the things the beatitudes enumerate.”
He is the one who is really poor in
spirit. The reign of God is his. In fact,
as Origen of Alexandria put it, he is
the reign of God in person, he is autobasileia. He is lowly, he hungers and
thirsts for holiness, he shows mercy.
Jesus is single-hearted, focused on his
Father, is the peacemaker par excellence, and, above all else, is the one
who is persecuted for holiness’ sake.
All saints are saints in Christ. Without him there is no existence, nor
holiness. In the Litany of Saints we
formally note those women and men
whose lives and witness exemplify
the Beatitudes of the Blessed One in
whom they have flourished, and in
whom we too are called to flourish.

Each of us can help make our communities safer. Important gun safety bills
are being considered by the Oregon
Legislature. Lives will be saved if
these bills become law. We’ll learn
about these bills from legislative experts, and professional lobbyists will
explain how to effectively advocate
for these bills. We’ll receive detailed
information on how to contact our
legislators. Each of us can Act Locally
to make Oregon a safer place to live.

February 2
Liturgy
PRESENTATION OF THE LORD: This feast of Our Lord
on February second used to be the feast of the Purification of Mary. It is also called “Candlemas Day,”
because part of the ritual for this day is the blessing
of candles. People can be invited to bring candles
from their homes to be blessed. Some parishes hand
out blessed candles at the end of the day’s liturgies.
Blessed candles from today’s feast are used for the
blessing of throats on the next day, the feast of St.
Blaise. The feast has traditionally involved processions and candles. The feast recalls the Jewish rite
of an infant’s presentation forty days after birth.
Blessing candles has always been a traditional way
of remembering Jesus—Light of the World— as well
as the call to ourselves to be light for one another.
Traditionally, all the candles used for the coming year
are blessed as we remember the story of Jesus being
presented by his parents at the Temple of Jerusalem.
In words used as a canticle of praise in the evening
prayer of the church, the prophet Simeon foretold
about the Child: “A light of revelation to the Gentile world, and the glory of his people, Israel.” Once
again, the church celebrates a basic gift, the gift of
light, a gift that we take for granted, and it gives it
new meaning. Besides the light that we share in our
homes and work, we can be reminded that Jesus is
the Light of the World.

A Way of Love and Freedom
The call to repentance is fundamental to the whole Christian Tradition. It echoes throughout the Old Testament and
lies at the very beginning of the New. The early Fathers of
the Church, the Councils, the saints, countless thousands of
the faithful believed and tried to live out this call. How is it
possible, then, that so many contemporary Christians—At least
in the West—seem unable or unwilling to hear and answer it?
There are two main reasons for this, I think. First of all,
perhaps, we no longer understand the real meaning of repentance. We do not often
understand it in its true religious sense, as a way of love and freedom, of total trust
in God’s infinite mercy. Instead, we tend to view it in mainly psychological terms: as
a negative emotion or state of mind, an expression of an exaggerated, even neurotic,
sense of guilt.
Secondly, because we often do not understand the nature of salvation, we do not
realize the immensity of what we have lost as a result of sin. We cannot, therefore,
mourn the absence of what we do not know we could have. In fact, we do not understand the true nature of sin. We tend to think of it as disobedience, the breaking
of this or that commandment, individual wrong acts, rather than as a painful condition of the human spirit, a shadow background of all our lives. Thus we are inclined
to view repentance as a way of paying a debt, a spiritual “transaction,” and do not
easily see it as a way of healing and life.
