Seeking: That Which We Talk About
But Rarely Ever Do
In the beginning Man created God; and in
the image of Man created he him.
And Man gave unto God a multitude of
names, that he might be Lord over all the
earth when it was suited to Man.
And on the seven millionth day Man rested
and did lean heavily on his God and saw that
it was good.
Jethro Tull
Aqualung
God is so important to man it caused
a theologian to say “that if there was no
God to worship, man would have to
create one.” Each man whether he
knows it or not, worships a god.
Man, I believe, always strives for a
value in life and many times his energies
are concentrated toward it. This,
however, is not undesirable unless the
value is not truly divine. When it is not,
then man creates his own god in
whatever image man wants, and
worships it.
Scripture is so very important to us
because it contains many hundreds of
generations of man’s thinking and his
relationship to God. Moreover, it is a
record of God speaking to man, trying
to touch and guide him for the purpose
he was created. On God’s part it is an all
out effort, but what is it on man’s part,
on our part? It is easy to say that man is
not doing such a good job, yet do we
have the courage and strength to say, “I
am not doing a good job.” And if we do
BY REV. WAYLAND BROWN
The Value of Work
This very morning at a staff meeting
of the St. Teresa’s Summer Bible School
one of the teachers made what I think is
a very valuable point about some of the
accomplishments of our effort. In
response to an inquiry about the
relatively low numbers of children this
summer (about 45, compared to 80 last
year), she mentioned we should not
forget the good we as a staff are getting
from working together to bring the
Word of God to the kids. I think that
she is very right.
Camp Villa Marie was and is always a
place of great comaraderie among staff
members, and the volume and degree of
difficulty of the work which must be
done plays a large role in the
development of a spirit and a unity
which reflect the unity of the
apostles. . . Working together for a
common goal, meeting and discussing
the efforts, evaluating the results, and
supporting one another with
constructive criticism (positive or
negative) are the stuff of living in
today’s world. Doing so in an overall
Christian context is the stuff of today’s
world and the next as well.
And so our Bible school does as much
for the staff members as for the
children. We are experiencing ourselves
as a community of believing Christians
putting into practice what we believe
while we pass it on to others. And as
come to this realization how can we do
a better job?
God gives us our instructions. He puts
them in a place where we will never lose
them. Scripture reveals to us this place;
His law of love is written deep within
your hearts. I am afraid that it is a place
where we do not often tend to look. We
cannot lose them, but can we find
them?
You have the ability and the time to
search out your heart. Look in a mirror
and what do you see? Recall your daily
actions and see what you do. How can
you make your next day better than the
past one? This evaluation may take time
away from other activities in which you
wish to participate, but what are you
really adding if you don’t?
Many young people tell me they do
not want to think about it. Their
reasons or excuses range from “it is too
hard,” to “that is no fun.” Their
generation, however, no matter how
advanced the science and technology,
will never create instant happiness,
instant wisdom, instant love or caring,
but it may create an instant god. When
the instants do not satisfy any longer,
they will search for those who have
found something deep within
themselves, to share in the treasure that
awaits the seeker, preplanted by
“You-Know-Who” and is given freely.
Let us not worry about remaking the
whole world, instead let us learn to
accept ourselves, striving harder and
deeper, and showing a bit more kindness
to those around us each day. The world
will then take care of itself. Man can
create, but let him create with God.
Man can love, and let him do it with
God’s Love.
they grow into adulthood we hope that
they too will want to pass it on.
Even manual labor together builds
community. In fact I would rather
include some physical work in every
retreat or day of recollection where it
can be done so that the Word of the
Lord does not remain just words but
comes to life in an everyday situation.
Painting the retreat hall, putting in a
new kitchen floor for the order of nuns
that owns the building, rewiring the
laundry facilities, chopping wood for
the winter’s supply -- these are all things
I have done recently on retreats, and I
think that all of us who shared these
experiences have found that the bonds
we established as a retreat group have
outlasted those of other such
experiences.
The mashed thumb that became an
inside joke, the T.V. picture tube that
blew up after our uninformed
tampering, the talks we had while
clearing rocks out of the field, the idiot
who climbed a dead tree and came
down with its rotten top! Who can
forget these experiences and with them
the depth to which we plumbed
ourselves and our religious
commitments. Often we ask one or
more people to come over here to help
us with the yard work, and as
Monsignor Donnelly and I and our guest
laborers clean and fix up, much more is
growing than the tomatoes, pepper, and
eggplant we are cultivating in the back
yard.
