Fifth Sunday of Lent
The reading from Romans today introduces the concept that the Spirit
of God dwells in you. In the midst of a busy semester, it’s easy to get caught
up with studying, papers, club meetings, and service activities and to forget
this powerful fact. Service to others is both one of our greatest responsibilities
and our greatest rewards as students at a Jesuit university. However, I notice
that sometimes we get so involved in trying to find God in others and share our
faith and skills with them that we forget that we take a piece of God with us
everywhere we go too. We can forget that everything we do we are doing in
His name.
I had the privilege of experiencing an International Service Program
(ISP) trip in Guyana this past summer. While there, one of the sites that we
visited most frequently was called The Palms, a geriatric home for elderly
people who had nowhere else to go. I had been having an amazing time since
the second we got to the Guyana airport, but after about our third visit to The
Palms I found myself thinking about the numerous nursing homes and elderly
in need of help right in Scranton, and questioning why exactly I ended up in
Guyana of all places. Then, the next day we visited The Palms again and I was
headed to the women’s ward. When I reached the porch, I was greeted by a
nice woman named Esther who happened to be blind and could only tell that
someone was coming by the sound of my footsteps. Before I even had a
chance to introduce myself or shake her hand, she said “I’m so glad that God
has brought you here to me today.” That was when it hit me. While I like to
think I am in control of my life, God has a master plan for all of us. Perhaps
instead of “choosing” what we do in life, we are more so responding to calls,
desires, and passions that He has already instilled in us. Perhaps so much of
what we have to offer to others isn’t our skills, but rather ourselves and God in
us.
As God brought me to Guyana, God has brought you here, to the
University of Scranton, and to Mass here at Madonna della Strada. I’ve seen
Him with my own two eyes in this community to which I’m so honored to
belong. He will be with you in your classes this week, over the summer, and
for years to come. He will be with you not just in an external all-powerful way,
but in an intimate, personal in you way. While this intimate relationship does
entail a big responsibility to uphold, it can also be comforting in that God is
then literally always there to help you- in the late hours when you’re writing a
paper or when you’re talking to a friend who is having a hard time.
St. Teresa of Avila writes that “Christ has no body but yours. No eyes,
no hands, no feet on earth but yours.” So continue to see God in others and
also in yourself. Don’t be afraid to reach out and touch someone else’s life;
and confidently walk in the path that God has graciously laid out for us.

“Today our prime
educational
objective must be
to form men-and-
women-for-others;
men and women
who will live not
for themselves but
for God and his
Christ - for the
God-man who
lived and died for
all the world; men
and women who
cannot even
conceive of love of
God which does
not include love
for the least of
their neighbors;
men and women
completely
convinced that
love of God which
does not issue in
justice for others
is a farce.”

of the Society of Jesus,
