GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE Presentatjon of the Lord “Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvatjon, which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples: a light for revelatjon to the Gentjles, and glory for your people Israel.” Very ofuen, having more light is not something we desire as it forces us to confront something we really do not want to see. There can be comfort found in darkness. It has an eerie sense of security to it. We do not have to challenge ourselves or be challenged and can simply exist in some fabricated state of self-fabricated

• blissfulness. Jesus came to bring light, and it is a light that

is resisted by many and hated by some. It is a light that causes us to see things as they really are and not as we would want or need them to be. It is no wonder then that Simeon boldly and honestly proclaims to Mary, “Behold, this child is destjned for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted and you yourself a sword will pierce so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” We have to take the Gospel message as it is and not just use those parts that are useful to us or more palatable. Taking Jesus at face value can and will lead to turmoil and dissentjon. Hearts will be pierced. Whether we like it, Jesus’ proclamatjon of what the world God created really ought to look like has real and absolute social implicatjons. It has a lot to say about how we treat our brothers and sisters: spiritually, personally, economically, and globally. It has everything to do with the poor, the immigrant, the scared, the unborn, the vulnerable, the sick, and the

• broken. The light opens us to a challenging, table-turning

experience that may not be something we want to see but shows us where we need to be.

Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat in Greater Bangor April 17-19

Feelings of hurt, emptiness, and regret often impact not

• nly women who get abortions, but their spouses, parents,

They provide a safe place to grieve the loss and to understand how abortion has affected them, so they can grow beyond it. The next Rachel’s Vineyard retreat in Maine will be held on April 17-19 in the greater Bangor area, starting on Friday at 6 p.m. and concluding on Divine Mercy Sunday at 1:30 p.m. The registration deadline for the retreat is Friday, April 3 (pre-registration required).
