GOOD NEWS! Pain and anger fill today’s readings. The Scriptures reach us where we live. Pain and anger reach deep into us and attach themselves to our lives. There’s no hiding from the suffering in Isaiah. There’s no hiding from the revelation that God lets this servant suffer. We’re startled to hear that “the Lord was pleased to crush him in infirmity….” But just a few lines later we read, too, “Because of his affliction he shall see the light.” When we’re suffering, do we see that light? Do we see any bridge from pain to hope? Is there really a way from suffering to redemption? So often the flashes of real pain blot out our vision of what lies ahead. We suffer now. And our eyes are focused here, where we suffer. The Scriptures don’t try to make sense of suffering. Isaiah doesn’t explain pain. What we’re told instead is that the middle of all this, God is with us. Do we dare believe God can make sense of the suffering that strikes humans? We can’t make sense of it when we’re in pain. We’re not left with a lot of options. We’re not left in control. We are left to decide whether we’ll put our faith in God. This isn’t blind faith. But it is a step away from what we know to Whom we know. It’s a trust in the One who reaches for us when were at our worst. It’s faith in the God who knows more than we do, the God who knows that to make of suffering. It’s faith in the God who has power, even to raise the dead. Dan Finucane Liguroi Publications Liguori, MO. Dear Padre Must we lend money? My daughter is $30,000 in debt. On her last payday, a friend asked to borrow $600 for his house payment. My daughter lent him the money because she heard a reading in Church that if you have money and your friend needs it, you should lend it. Is that what Jesus would have my daughter do in her current situation? Ellen Dear Ellen, If your daughter had $600 she didn’t need immediately and was quite sure her friend would pay it back in a time fashion. Then yes, it was good for your daughter to have lent the money in that situation. It’s a sign of your daughter’s generosity and kindness. But there are a lot of “ifs” in the above scenario. If someone had lent that money to your daughter and, because she then lent it to her friend, the lender was denied her payment in a timely fashion, your daughter shouldn’t have lent the money. Putting the question in simpler terms, if I have two chickens and I need only one for supper, and someone asks for something to eat, I should give him the extra chicken. But I needn’t give away all that I have to feed the hungry, thus becoming hungry myself, so if I have only one chicken I don’t have to give it away. We’re always called to be generous, but not at the expense of our own well-being. Lending money is a different issue because it seems everyone owes money. People have mortgages on their homes, loans on their cars, and debt on their credit cards. If your daughter is paying her debts in a timely fashion, she’s not obligated to pay more, and she can continue to be generous.
