Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional Father James F. Kelly C.SS.R. St. Mary’s Catholic Church 1973 is only four days old by now and I would imagine that all of us by now are getting the feeling that it is going to be a simple rerun of last year. Perhaps the only thing that will change ’73 into anew and better year is ourselves, and what we do with the 361 days that are left of this year of 1973. Take for instance what the scripture tells us of the attitude of Jesus who took on the condition of a slave, making himself a servant for all of us instead of clinging to his powerful kingship and divinity. We really marvel that Jesus “emptied himself” because this action points directly to a central mystery and experience of our won lives. The meaning of our existence eludes us unless, in some practical, workable way, we choose to empty ourselves, as slaves rather than aspire to possess power. The imitation of Christ has always depended more on this intuition rather than on some merely outward behavior. No, the essence of the Christian response has always been an interior mystery; what we surrender is inside of us, in our feelings and attitudes towards others. The Christian’s inner life is not, however, just a calming form of transcendental meditation; it is the living experience of emptying our selves of that selfishness which keeps us from being servants to each other. This is done, not by numbering ourselves, but by feeling the pain which is involved in love, that is real not sentimental. We come alive in Jesus whenever we do this; the rest of our lives takes shape around this demanding commit- ment. Emptying ourselves of sel fishness does not mean day dreaming about some great event during which we will join our names to the lists of heroes by sacrificing our lives for the multitudes. The best of us may at times enjoy the fantasy of such a glorious moment but, alas, it actually comes to very few. We cannot wait for a distant and luminous instant in which our generosity will be realized.

That the answer to the threat of small missile ships and boats may be found in the rapidly emerging field of sur face skimmers—the air cushion vehicles and hydro foils? Emptying ourselves is a simple and plain thing; no day goes by that does not offer an opportunity to us. It is part of our general overall response to life and is found, for example, in the following situtations. Listening to others even when we are busy with a thousand dreams of our own. If we think about it for a moment, we will realize that we are all looking for someone to listen to us. Secondly, by going more deeply into ourselves than our whims or superficial feelings would ordinarily allow. There are so many occasions in which we shrug off the possibilities of further self-knowledge by say ing something like, Well that’s the way I am, or I don’t want to talk about it. The loss involved here is to ourselves rather than to others because we have missed a chance to grow and to get to the roots of our identity, found ultimately in union with the Jesus whose attitude should be ours. 1973 does not have to be a rerun of last year or any year, it can be anew adventure, a real quest for the attitude of Jesus. This year 73 can be a year in which we empty ourselves of whatever blocks the attitude and life that Jesus Christ offers to us, not by words by by example. Happy New Year 1973.
