Thoughts As We Prepare for the Synod

Most Rev. Anthony Mikovsky

Brothers and Sisters!

As God’s Field goes to press this month, we are approximately three months away from the start of the XXVII General Synod of the Polish National Catholic Church, which will gather in Manchester, New Hampshire at the end of September.

….The entire Church, both clergy and laity together, are entrusted with the God-given responsibility for the ongoing life and activity of the Church. It is for this reason that we must evaluate what the Church has been doing and accomplishing, especially over the past four year in the past Synodal period, and then with that knowledge, set a program of work for the next four years, the time until the next General Synod.

…. In our preparations for the Synod, I want to encourage the two important aspects of prayer and discussion. Let us be people who pray powerfully for the success of the Synod and for its work in building up the Kingdom of God as it is found within each of our parishes. Pray together during the celebration of Holy Mass and at any parish gatherings. Pray individually for your own parish representatives, your parish pastor, your bishop and the entire Church.

And along with your prayers, also discuss your thoughts, ideas and concerns with these individuals as well. … Speak with those who represent you so that they can bring your concerns, your thoughts and your ideas to the Synod for its consideration.

With this strong prayer and the work and ideas of the entire Church, we will accomplish the work of building the Kingdom of God within our Polish National Catholic Church. I know the work will not be quick or easy, but we know that it will happen as we state within our motto: “By truth, by work and by struggle, we will triumph.”

22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A) – Challenges

In today’s Gospel, we encounter at least two challenges.

1. The first challenge concerns one’s vision of life. Jesus says He is going to Jerusalem to suffer, die, and rise again. Peter’s vision is different: he sees Jesus as a Messiah who performs miracles, heals the sick, teaches the people, and triumphs. He cannot accept a Master who suffers or dies. Jesus corrects this perspective, explaining and presenting a different vision of life to Peter: “I am going to suffer, die, lay down my life for others, and rise again.”

As a Christian, you have your own vision of life: a good education, a happy family, a modern phone... In a word: a comfortable and prosperous life. Jesus does not deny this; rather, He complements these visions—for Peter, for me, and for you—with suffering, loneliness, humiliation, betrayal, and death. He teaches us that life is fragile and delicate, that it does not last forever. It is not immortal. Éric Schmitt says: “If you have grown tired of living, then give your eyes to a blind person, gift your leg to someone who lacks one, and give your heart to someone who wants to love and enjoy life. Each of these people dreams of having something that you do not value.”

2. Second challenge: Life and faith are not static. Jesus says: “Whoever wants to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” This statement is not static; it is like dynamite: go, deny, carry the cross, follow.

As Christians, we often become ossified, passive, and lacking in initiative; we lack a passion for life. The writer (Anton Chekhov) asks: “Oh, where has it all gone? Where have those years gone—when I was young and healthy, when I thought and reacted with such subtlety, when the present and the horizon of my future shone with such intensity? Why is it that, as soon as we begin to live, we immediately become dull, listless, weary, useless, bland, or unhappy...?” Jesus has the answer to these questions: take up the cross, follow, live. All of this implies action. It means believing and hoping; it means stepping out of your comfort zone and helping others; it means giving thanks and asking for help. It means enjoying what you have. You still have time to change and set many things right; you can still forgive and love again. Do it today. And if you get bored, you can always go back to laziness, passivity, bitterness, and the nihilism of life.

Dear friends,

The path requires the right vision, and the path is never static. So struggle, fall, repent, forgive, start over... but do not remain indifferent. “There are two ways to live life: one is to live as if nothing is a miracle; the other is to live as if everything is a miracle” – Albert Einstein.

XXII NZ - A - 2 desafios

En el Evangelio de hoy tenemos al menos dos desafíos.

1. El primer desafío es la visualización de la vida. Jesús dice que va a Jerusalén para sufrir, morir y resucitar. La visualización de Pedro es diferente: Pedro ve Jesus como Mesias quien hace milagros, cura los enfermos, enseña la gente, triunfa. No acepta su Maestro quien sufre o muera. Jesus correcta so visualización. Explica y presenta a Pedro otra visualización de vida: “Voy a sufrir, morir, dar la vida por otros, resucitar”.

Como Cristiano tienes propia visualización de vida:

la educación buena, la familia feliz , teléfono moderno… En un palabra : la vida cómoda y prospera. Jesús no niega esto, sino que complementa estas visiones —para Pedro, para mí y para ti— con sufrimiento, soledad, humillación, traición, muerte. Nos enseña, que la vida es frágil y delicada, que no dura para siempre. No es inmortal. Emanuel Schmitt dice: “Si te has cansado de vivir, entonces entrega tus ojos a una persona ciega, regala tu pierna a alguien quien no lo tiene. De tu corazón a alguien quien quiera amar y disfrutar de la vida. Cada de esta persona suena tener algo que tu no valoras”.

2. Segundo desafío: La vida, la fe no es estática. Jesus dice: “El que quiera venir en pos de mi, niegue a si mismo, cargue con cruz y sigueme”. Esta oración no es estática, es como la dinamita: ir, negar, cargar cruz, seguir.

Como cristianos a menudo somos osificados, pasivos, sin iniciativa, nos falta pasión por la vida. El escritor (Anton Chejov) pregunta: “Ay, donde ha quedado todo esto! Adonde se han ido aquellos anos - cuando yo era joven, gozaba de salud, cuando pensaba y reaccionaba con tanta sutileza, cuando el presente y el horizonte de mi futuro resplandecían con tanta intensidad? ¿Por qué será que, apenas empezamos a vivir, nos volvemos de inmediato apagados, indolentes, fatigados, inútiles, anodinos o infelices...? Jezus tiene respuesta a estas preguntas; tomar cruz, seguir, vivir. Todo esto significa acción. Significa creer y tener esperanza, significa salir de tu zona de confort, ayudar a los demás, significa agradecer y pedir ayuda. Significa disfrutar de lo que tienes. Todavía tienes tiempo cambiar y arreglar muchas cosas; aún puedes perdonar y amar de nuevo. Hazlo hoy. Y si te aburres, siempre puedes volver a la pereza, a la pasividad, a la amargura y al nihilismo de la vida.

Queridos. El camino necesita la visualización correcta y el camino nunca es estatica. Por eso lucha, cae, se arrepiente, perdona, vuelve a empezar... pero no permanezca indiferente. “Hay dos formas de vivir la vida: una es vivir como si nada fuera un milagro; la otra es vivir como si todo fuera un milagro” - Albert Einstein
