GOCD hIEWS t4-5, :r7-:g lr Corinthians 12:3L-13:13 ot :-3:4-13 ILuke 4:zr-3o Are you a conflict-avoider or a conflict-engager? Do you thrive on debate, or would you prefer everyone get along? I tend to be a conflict-avoider. I know conflict is part of life and that it can be a source of creativity, but l'd still rather avoid it or quickly smooth it over. Unfortunately, conflict-avoidance can be as harmful as aggression. ln today's reading, as often happens, conflict surrounds Jesus. No sooner does the crowd in his hometown synagogue lavish Praise on him than they turn and criticize him as a simpleton, the son of a lowly carPenter. You can almost hear them sneer, "Wait... is this only the son of Joseph? What could he possibly have to offer?" Jesus responds that his mission is not just for the locals but for all, including the outcast and the unwelcome. lt's an insult to the crowd, who furiously try to throw him off a cliff. lt's conflict-avoidance at its worst-remove the conflict by destroying the one with whom we disagree. When prayers aren't answered "our wayr" when we're not given what we *'Unworthy" reCeiVeS adUlatiOn, We Can feel anger"deserver" When SOmeOne even fury-toward God. We may want to throw God off a cliff...or at least stomp away and seethe for a while. lnstead, what if we invite God into our heaftS even while We're angry? Welcoming the One by whom we feel wounded may lead us to a new understanding and a deepened faith. Giving God a second chance doesn't mean denying our anger; on the contrary, we offer our anger to God as a deeply human response and ask God to stay with us, to speak gracious words to us, and ultimately, to transform us.

Your fianc6e is correct about heaven: God has willed the salvation of everyone-not just Catholics (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church fLumcn Gentium),13). But being Catholic isn't only about getting to heaven. Earthly benefits abound!
Take the Mass: Holy Communion gives us Jesus' very Body and Blood. The sacrament of reconciliation brings us peace and comfort. Our saints and our special devotion to the Blessed Mother inspire us. Our Church leadersordained and religious*bring Christ to our everyday lives. Our Catholic hymns and prayer traditions help us offer praise and thanks in a unique way. Once we get to heaven, the need for the distinctions that help us walk our path on Earth dissolve. But until we get there, we shouldn't follow the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church simply because it's the religion of our parents or spouse; we should follow them because we believe they show us how to deepen our relationship with God by living asJesus wanted us to. So while "all the Catholic rituals" do prepare us {br heaven, they also enrich and inform our earthly lives in ways we can't find anywhere else. I thank God for the Catholic Church every day-and you should too. Fr. Scott Kaaenberger, CSsR sundaybullztins@li.guori..org 2012 Liguori Publications, Liguori,

Yecv of Foiih Cctober I i, 2012**November 24, 2A13 TRADITION: Shrove Tuesday is the last day of what traditionally was called "Shrovetide," the week preceding the beginning of Lent. The word itself, Shrovetide, is the English equivalent for "Carnival," which is derived from
the Latin words cornem levore, meaning "to take away the flesh." .Shrovetide was the time to cast off things of the flesh and to prepare spiritually for Lent Actually, the English term provides the best meaning for this period. "To shrive" meant to hear confessions. . .. Pancakes (and donuts) were prepared and enjoyed, because in so doing a family depleted
their eggs, milk, butter, and fat which were part of the Lenten fast. Source: www.catholicculture,org/culture/ibrary/view.cfm?recnum=5877
