Temples of the Triune God
St. Francis of Assisi was an ardent advocate of the doctrine of the indwelling of God in the human. It enabled him to love everyone equally whatever his position in life. One day he met a fellow who had no love for God. As they walked along, they met a man who was blind and paralyzed. St Francis asked the sightless cripple: “Tell me if I were to restore your eyesight and the use of your limbs, would you love me?” “Ah,” replied the beggar, “I would not only love you, but I would be your slave for the rest of my life.” “See,” said Francis to the man who maintained that he could not love God, “this man would love me if I gave him his sight and his health. Why don’t you love God who created you with eyesight and strong limbs?” That is what Jesus tells us in today’s Gospel. If we love Jesus because of the countless blessings he has given us, and so keep his word as the center of our life, he will start dwelling within us in the company of his Father and the Holy Spirit, making us the temples of the Triune God.

Last night as part of Cork Ecumenical Bible Week 2019 we had a discussion with Fr Ben Hegarty OP who gave a talk in our parish centre on the topic ‘We are Stewards not Owners…our Arrogance toward Creation’. To our surprise Fr. Ben went further to say that "We are in partnership with and not stewards of all of creation". Fr. Newman quoted Patrick Kavanagh
"Let us lie down again
Deep in anonymous humility and God
May find us worthy material for His hand"
Fr. Ben quoted many wonderful psalms celebrating all of creation from the old testament - "But ask the beasts, and they will teach you", the birds will tell you, the bushes, the fish will declare to you - in Gods hand is the life of every living thing - Job 12 7-10
Pope Francis' Laudato Si "St. Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister"
Humanity is not above creation. It is immersed in it.
Christmas 1995 "The immense night of origins, And nothing exists except love".
"Who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass, to which I have given the steppe for its home" 39. 4-8
"Praise the LORD ... Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, beasts, both wild and tame, reptiles and birds on the wing - Psalm 148.
Jesus' Cathedral was Nature
"How filled with awe is this place" - Jewish Sabath Prayer book
Thank you to to Fr. Ben and the organisers of Cork Ecumenical Bible Week for this wonderful encouragement to worship God in partnership with all of creation.
