CATECHESIS
Living Liturgy
The Word of God: Rich imagery and beautiful story fill the gospel readings of the third, fourth, and fifth Sundays of Lent. Lengthy Cycle A readings allow us all to immerse ourselves into each scriptural scene more fully, to imagine, as St. Ignatius of Loyola believes, that we are placed within the particular gospel scene. For some com- munities, this imagining manifests in more than a liturgical or gospel proclamation It might take the form of an enactment of the gospel story, sometimes with elaborate staging, costumes, and props. The gifts of the community are rightly celebrated during the preparation of such reenactments. As much as these are wonderful ways to engage in community-building experiences and exercise communal contemplation, how much of God’s word is retained in the production and telling of the story?
Within such dramatic gospel story reenactments, we sometimes lose sight of our initial, more intimate connection to the story. With all the staging and production, it becomes less the narrative that we first imagined and takes on someone else’s interpretation. More importantly with such theatrical productions, we have lost the chance to receive the full meaning of God’s word.
A more vibrant way of celebrating these sacred stories would be to prepare the script well and the readers with narrations that come from a place of deeper faith. Stay close to the meaning of the texts and proclaim them in a sensitive way. Authenticity in prayerful narration comes with thoughtful, spiritual preparation weeks before the actual Sunday. Give time and space for God’s word to work in our hearts.
PROMPTS FOR FAITH-SHARING
- Where might there be a pocket of blindness in your own life? How could you invite God in to heal it?
- What are your real values in life-where do you really spend your time, attention, energy. and money? Do any of these conflict with who you profess to be?
- Does anything about God’s work in these readings make you uncomfortable? How might that be a call to action?
