of itself, is not initiatory but is focused on deepening the unity we have in Christ—a union that Christians already share with us. Through the rite, in the most complete way possible, we become one with these Christian sisters and brothers at the Lord’s table. This is why “no greater burden than necessary is required for the establishment of communion and unity” (RCIA, 473).

WITH ONLY FIVE and a half weeks before Ash Wednesday, you will want to make sure some important things get done now before you take a quick breather. One of these is receiving Christians.TheSundays
of Ordinary Time, especially today, are good days to celebrate the Rite of Reception into the Full Communion of the Catholic Church for baptized Christians who are becoming Catholic. Many parishes, however, celebrate this rite only at the Easter Vigil since that is the principal time for initiation. How ever, the rite’s guidelines, found in the soon-to-be re-translated Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, prohibit equating baptized Christians with catechumens (see RCIA, 477).

LAST WEEK WE looked at why you should celebrate the Rite of Reception now so baptized Christians becoming Catholic can be brought to the eucharistic table without delay. In these Ordinary Time Sundays before Lent, you might also want to celebrate the Confirmation of Catholics already sharing in the Eucharist. Confirmation is another one of those rites that parishes often celebrate at the Easter Vigil because they see Easter as, rightly, the premier time for initiation. Confirmation is indeed an ini tiation sacrament. However, for baptized Catholics already celebrating Communion, Confirmation is not the completion of their initiation. The sacrament that completes initiation—that is its fulfillment and climax—is the Eucharist. In the case of

Catholics already sharing in Communion, their Confirmation is a deepening of their bond to Christ’s mission into which they have already been fully united and are graced to carry out through their sharing in the Eucharist.

By celebrating the Confirmation of these Catholics now instead of at the Easter Vigil, we allow the Vigil’s focus to be on the passing over from death to life through Christ for those unbap tized. We also then are able to give dedicated attention to the sacramental needs of Catholics who are already fully initiated into Christ’s mission by their sharing of the body and blood of Christ at the eucharistic banquet. —DM

He draws attention to the Greek translation of “comforted” in verse 4 of today’s passage and notes that the verb is derived from the word “paraclete,” meaning “advocate.” Those who mourn will be comforted not by sentiments but by advocacy. Nadella also notes each beatitude’s passive structure, which invites us to ask who is doing the advocating—the Spirit, of course, but also those whom the Spirit has blessed, us. We’ll see this meaning confirmed in the parable of the sheep and goats later in Matthew 25.

The Beatitudes 252 The Same Love 266
YOU’VE SEEN WALL art and throw pillows displaying the word “blessed.” “Grateful and blessed,” “Too blessed to be stressed,” or just plain “Blessed!” It’s good to feel blessed, but that’s not the point in Matthew’s beatitudes.
Perhaps the decorative sentiment that gets closest is “Blessed to bless.” Let’s turn God’s blessing from art on our walls into action on behalf of those in need. —DM

God Remembers 731 669 777
After announcing God’s reign and calling disciples to work with him toward that mission, Jesus presents his vision state ment for what God’s reign will look like. It is blessing for the poor, the mourning, the lowly and hungry, manifested not by feeling but by visible change in their condition. Unfortunately, some have interpreted this to mean that personal fortune and comfort equal divine blessing.
Scripture scholar Raj Nadella gives us a better understanding.

FOLLOWING ON HIS underlying teaching of the beatitudes from last week, Jesus says to the crowd and to us this week: You are salt and light meant to glorify God by being of service to others. Salt and light are two sacramentals in our Catholic tradition. We are more familiar with the ritual and devotional uses of candles, such as in the giving of baptismal candles, processions for the Presentation of the Lord and the blessing of candles, or lighting votive candles for prayer. Less familiar is the use of salt, even though the rite for blessing salt is still part of the current Roman Missal (see Appendix II, 3).

Only by expending themselves do salt and candles fulfill their purpose. Salt is dissolved, eaten, and absorbed; candles are melted in their lighting. If we are salt and light, we too must give of ourselves for the sake of others if we desire to truly glorify God. —DM

salt includes a reference to Elisha using salt to miraculously restore Jericho’s contaminated spring (see 2 Kings 2:20–21). As an optional part of the rite of blessing and sprinkling of water, the presider mixes blessed salt into the water used for sprinkling, reminding us of how we, too, have been purified from sin and death in baptism.

further—much further, to the relationships underlying the law.
As disciples of Christ, we are called to do more than just follow the law, whether liturgical, moral, or civil. We can’t just avoid breaking them or going over a line. We must look at the people affected by these laws, rubrics, and guidelines and discern if our entire being and orientation of life—our thoughts, words, choices, and actions—reflect how God sees them. If not, then we need to put down our hymnals and well-crafted homilies and go and repair those relationships. Then come back and praise God as best we can. —DM

Today, Jesus invites us to go deeper into two more command ments pertaining to how we treat adversaries, enemies, strangers, and people who simply challenge us. Unlike last week’s passage, however, Jesus gives us a different approach to the law, one that calls for both restraint and generosity of spirit, for that is how our Father in heaven is with us. By law, one may deserve punishment, but the Father does not deal with us according to
