FOR OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE

The Power of Remembering and Forgetting by Greg Richardson

www.patheos.com/strategicmonk

We spend our lives remembering and forgetting.

Some of the things we most want to remember we forget anyway. We forget how someone looked or the sound of their voice no matter how hard we try

to remember. What we remember is some of what they told us or what they taught us and how they made us feel.

There are places we remember even if we do not get

everything in exactly the right spot. Some of us remember what we have read or what we have seen.

Then there are the things we most want to forget

which we cannot help but remember.

We remember every detail of the moments just before the accident. Disturbing aromas and sensations are seared into our memories.

It may be easy for us to remember exactly why we cannot trust someone, even when we try to forgive.

The searing pain of their betrayal remains with us. We remember exactly when, and how, it happened.

It almost seems the people and memories which gave us the most joy fade the fastest. The feelings and frustrations which feed our darker impulses stay with us.

We need to be sparked to recall happiness while

what we would like to forget is close to the surface.

Why do we remember what we remember and why do we forget what we forget? How do our memories determine what will shape us and what will fade away?

Can we decide to forget something and put it out of our minds? How do we practice the power of

remembering and forgetting?

It can feel as though we have left some memories out and they have become overgrown. Other memories follow us wherever we go.

The Challenge of Remembering and

Forgetting

Our minds seem to have minds of their own.

We cannot remember where we put our keys or the single piece of paper we need to complete a project. At the same time, a song we heard decades ago

repeats in our minds. Remembering and forgetting seem to have power over us and be beyond our control.

I seem unable to remember or forget at the right

time. That person’s name eludes me while I am talking to them, but I recall it hours later. Urgent tasks I want to complete today are forgotten until I am trying to fall asleep.

For me, this is particularly true when I practice stillness. As I relax and open my mind to present

moment I remember the emails I want to send.

Why are we not able to get our minds to do what we want them to do when we want them to do it?

Part of our challenge is our minds are more complex than we realize. We are accustomed to being able to think at a high level of complexity and expect to be able to go further.

Our society is not able to produce technology which performs at the level of our own minds. We assume our minds can operate with a high level of efficiency and productivity. It is easy for us to expect our

minds to be able to add functions almost effortlessly.

It is not unusual for us to spread the focus of our minds over a variety of simultaneous tasks. We

operate an automobile, complicated enough, while we listen to a podcast or music and remember directions. The sensations of eating a meal fill our minds while we also read or watch something on a computer.

Practicing the Power of Remembering and

Forgetting

It is not surprising we do not remember when we

FOR OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE Continued

want to remember or forget when we want to forget.

Our minds operate at a high level of complexity without our needing to think about it. We rarely take any steps to maintain or strengthen our minds abilities to function in this

complex environment.

Through our senses, our minds are almost constantly bombarded with new information. Each new taste or aroma gives us more to assimilate and remember. Our minds organize and reorganize this information on the fly. It is not surprising some data can get lost or confused.

When we pause to appreciate stillness we give our minds

permission to calm down. We reflect and the spiritual life within us helps us practice the power of remembering and forgetting.

I do not hear many specific messages as I take time to practice listening to stillness. The stillness is not sacred for me because I am told what to do. Stillness is sacred in the

work it does within me which I do not remember experiencing.

Part of my relationship with spiritual life is letting go of remembering and forgetting. Ironically, letting go allows me to remember and forget more effectively.

Giving our minds room for remembering and forgetting allows things to sort themselves. We practice the power of

remembering and forgetting by giving our minds time to be present.

What Are We Remembering and Forgetting?

We spend our time remembering and forgetting specific bits of information. Part of our frustration is our minds can do so much more than retrieve data.

Our expectations are being able to access particular facts when we want them. We also want to be able to forget things when we do not appreciate their usefulness. Our minds are more complex than that.

We are able to recall and reflect on complex sensations and emotions. Our minds can remember how we felt and why at

specific points in our experience. Reflection allows us to take

another look at moments which have shaped us.

We clear away the overgrowth and allow spiritual life to heal what has been injured or broken.

Remembering and forgetting is how our minds write the next pages of our story. We remember, and forget, to see beneath the surface in a new light.

How deeply are we remembering and forgetting?

What are we remembering and forgetting today?

How will we practice the power of remembering and forgetting this week?

Deuteronomy 6:1-9 1 Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the ordinances—that the Lord your God charged me to teach you to observe in the land that you are about to cross into and occupy, 2 so that

you and your children and your children’s children may fear the Lord your God all the days of your life, and

keep all his decrees and his commandments that I am commanding you, so that your days may be long. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe them diligently, so that it may go well with you, and so that you may multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey,

as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 6 Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. 7 Recite them to your children and talk

about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. 8 Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, 9 and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

1. What is your funniest memory?

If you were able to think of a specific instance, consider the peripheral details the memory brings up.

Are there certain people you envision, a place that is

special to you?

Or does it remind you of a unique time in your life?

Recall reminds us of the things we’re paying attention to, and the things we wish to carry and keep in our

remembrance. They form our life, legacy, and culture.

Life Why is it so difficult to remember good or happy memories, yet troubling ones remain with us?

What if we thought of hard times as reminders that your brain and body are trying to hold on to so you won’t commit the same mistakes?

2. Recall a difficult or painful thing that happened this week.

Did God provide healing, calm, or the kindness of a

friend?

These objectives might be helpful in shaping and guiding your reflection:

a. What legacy will you chose to remember?

b. What truths do you need reminders of?

c. What story do you want to tell?

Remembering Our Dead by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat www.spiritualityandpractice.com

OUR LITURGICAL LIFE

All Saints Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2) are annual reminders to remember, honor, and celebrate the dead. Today these

ancient observances are overshadowed by Halloween, originally observed as the eve of All Saints Day but now more known as a time of costumes, candy, and trick or treating, or by national days

of remembrance such as the

anniversary of 9/11. Yet the ritual of consciously remembering loved ones who have passed is an

important spiritual practice in all our lives. It brings death into the context of our daily experience and reminds us that dying is not the end.

In our family three out of four parents are gone now, and it has been too long for us to be in obvious mourning. We live

too far away to visit their graves more often than every few years. Fortunately, we have not lost too many relatives or friends of our generation, but we know the time is coming when we will want to create rituals to help us honor others who have died. As we age, All Saints/All Souls become more important days on the calendar.

Many religions and cultures remember the dead on the anniversary of the death. Since that date may bring back painful memories of a passing, we prefer to remember our

departed loved ones on their birthdays. Here are some of the practices we have found meaningful.

Light a candle. We choose a candle

in a color that reminds us of the person. As we light it, we say a prayer of thanks to God for our memories of this loved one. During

the day, as we look up from our work at the flickering flame, we

recall the blessing this person was in our lives.

Make a donation. One way to signal that you still feel

connected to someone who has died is to make a donation to a cause he or she supported. You might

send a check to a church, school, local service organization, or favorite charity. One grandmother we know gives a small

bill to each grandchild on their grandfather's birthday. She includes a note saying that she knows their grandfather would want them to have a special gift and tells them a story about one of his interests.

Find something to remember

them by. The inspiration for this practice comes from the Bible account of Jesus' disciples on the road to Emmaus. They were joined by a stranger whom they did not recognize as Jesus until they stopped to eat and he

broke the bread for their meal. They knew him in that act; it was something he had

given them earlier to remember him by.

When we think back on our relationships with people who have died, we can find something to remember each of them by. Mary Ann's mother was an avid rose gardener, so roses are always special to her family. Fred's father was a consummate storyteller; now when we see people laughing

over a story in a restaurant or at a party, he comes to mind. Mary Ann's father was a lifelong learner who used to read the encyclopedia after dinner. Often when we find ourselves looking things up in our reference books or browsing the Internet for a piece of information, we recall how much he savored this kind of activity.

Other common triggers to memory are a favorite song, a particular recipe, a certain type of weather, a special fragrance, a piece of jewelry. Each creates a feeling of

connection beyond the grave.

This year on All Saints Day and All Souls Day, make a list of

your departed loved ones and find one act, one object, one gift that can be your remembrance for each of them as you go about your daily life in the year ahead. This simple spiritual practice becomes an expression of gratitude, wonder, and your continuing love.

Is your gift to the parish each week an honest reflection of God’s goodness to you?

Gratitude is the Heart’s Memory www.exploringyourmind.com

Being grateful is more than an act of courtesy, it’s a way of crossing frontiers on an emotional, personal and emotional level. Why not be grateful for life and being a part of it? Why not recognize others for who they are, and for the qualities that cause us to love them?

Furthermore, why aren’t we grateful for ourselves? For our dedication, bravery and self improvement?

We know at times it’s not easy to dive in to what we call the “memory of the heart,” which is what Jean-Baptiste Massieu calls gratitude. Practically every day, people live anchored to a mindset that guides them down the more objective and rational path, where grudges and irritation also reside.

The simple act of being grateful, implies a sense of personal liberation. It means activty with humility and without artifices, and learning to value what’s truly important in life. Let’s talk about it; let’s jump into the

value and the power of gratitude.

The 4 PILLARS OF GRATITUDE

1. Emotional Openness

Why is it that so many people find it challenging to say “thank you”? When we do something for the people around us, we “mandatorily” expect those thanks that show courtesy. What we’re really looking for is to be recognized; that the person understands how much we care, and that we’ve not only invested our time, but our emotions as well.

People that aren’t grateful tend to present the following characteristics:

Emotional neglect: they avoid opening

up to others and often act in a challenging or self-sufficient manner; when in truth, they lack self-esteem and are actually quite internally fragile.

Selfishness: they act with a certain

degree of selfishness, are ungrateful and sometimes even proud.

Denial: Their lack of recognition for

other people causes them to not even

recognize their own efforts, and therefore are people that are highly lacking in emotional ability.

To practice gratitude, we must be capable of opening up emotionally. It’s the only way we can learn more about ourselves and others, with an honest, strong and active heart.

2. Gratitude and Recognition are Gifts

There aren’t many values that are as strong

as recognizing the people around us through gratitude. It’s a universal form 0f appreciation and union, and of creating links. “I appreciate you for who you are, for your virtues, for your persnoality, and I thank you for being part of my life and enriching it with your presence.”

3. Being Grateful is Not Being Indebted

There are people that think that just because they received something and gave thanks to them for it, they’re immediately in debt to that person.

If you feel that sense of obligation to return the favor, you’re not practicing free, honest and spontaneous gratitude. Gratitude is an attitude that doesn’t push obligations, it’s a form of being that transcends all of our actions.

If you do something for your brother, or for your friend, you don’t mark an “x” in your calendar, expecting them to return the favor someday. You do it because you want to and

because “you recognize” that person as a part of you, you’ve done it freely and without expecting anything in return.

That being said, even if we don’t expect something back, we do expect to be recognized. We form a bond between each other where we all form one entity. It’s almost like what the word “Namasté” means (I greet you, thank you and bow to the divinity in you, which also forms a part of me.)

4. The Importance of Personal Gratitude

We spend half of our lives thanking other people for things: our family’s dedication, our friend’s altruism, the affection of our partner or the recognition of the people that come and go from our lives, enriching it with their small acts of kindness as they do.

But, when was the last time you stopped to thank yourself? Do you think it’s a selfish and misaligned attitude? It’s not; not at all. Whether you’re religious, skeptical or spiritual, self-recognition crosses no boundaries; in fact, it’s a basic moral pillar needed to reinforce your self-esteem.

How about if, from this point on, we act in a more humble manner and value the simple things in life? Be thankful for that cool breeze that eases the summer heat, for that good decision you recently made. Be thankful for your family, and for your pet that gives you it’s undying love.

Simply be thankful for existing, for being well, for understanding that we’re not more than shooting stars that come and go, looking for a way to live their lives to the fullest. Why not?

FROM THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH

Christus Vivit! Message of Our Holy Father Francis to Young People and to the World

www.vatican.va

Always missionaries

239. Here I would point out that it doesn’t take much to

make young people missionaries. Even those who are most frail, limited and troubled can be missionaries in their own way, for goodness can always be shared, even if it exists alongside many limitations. A young person who makes a pilgrimage to ask Our Lady for help, and invites a friend or companion along, by that single gesture is being a good

missionary. Inseparable from a “popular” youth ministry is an irrepressible “popular” missionary activity that breaks

through our customary models and ways of thinking. Let us accompany and encourage it, but not presume to overly regulate it.

240. If we can hear what the Spirit is saying to us, we have to realize that youth ministry is always missionary. Young people are greatly enriched when they overcome their reticence and dare to visit homes, and in this way make contact with people’s lives. They learn how to look beyond their family and their group of friends, and they gain a

broader vision of life. At the same time, their faith and their sense of being part of the Church grow stronger. Youth missions, which usually take place during school holidays after a period of preparation, can lead to a renewed experience of faith and even serious thoughts about a vocation.

241. Young people can find new fields for mission in the most varied settings. For example, since they are already so familiar with social networks, they should be encouraged to fill them with God, fraternity and commitment.

Accompaniment by adults

242. Young people need to have their freedom respected, yet they also need to be accompanied. The family should be the first place of accompaniment. Youth ministry can present the

ideal of life in Christ as the process of building a house on rock (cf. Mt 7:24-25). For most young people, that house, their life, will be built on marriage and married love. That is why youth ministry and the pastoral care of families should

be coordinated and integrated, with the aim of ensuring a continuous and suitable accompaniment of the vocational

process.

243. The community has an important role in the accompaniment of young people; it should feel collectively responsible for accepting, motivating, encouraging and challenging them. All should regard young people with

understanding, appreciation and affection, and avoid constantly judging them or demanding of them a perfection beyond their years.

244. At the Synod, “many pointed to the shortage of

qualified people devoted to accompaniment. Belief in the theological and pastoral value of listening entails rethinking and renewing the ways that priestly ministry is ordinarily

exercised, and reviewing its priorities. The Synod also

recognized the need to train consecrated persons and laypeople, male and female, to accompany young people. The charism of listening that the Holy Spirit calls forth within the communities might also receive institutional recognition

as a form of ecclesial service”.[132]

245. There is also a special need to accompany young men and women showing leadership potential, so that they can receive training and the necessary qualifications. The young

people who met before the Synod called for “programmes for the formation and continued development of young leaders.

Some young women feel that there is a lack of leading female role models within the Church and they too wish to give their intellectual and professional gifts to the Church. We also believe that seminarians and religious should have an even greater ability to accompany young leaders”.[133]

246. The same young people described to us the qualities they hope to find in a mentor, and they expressed this with much clarity. “The qualities of such a mentor include: being a faithful Christian who engages with the Church and the

world; someone who constantly seeks holiness; someone who is a confidant without judging. Similarly, someone who actively listens to the needs of young people and responds in kind; someone deeply loving and self-aware; someone who recognizes his or her limits and knows the joys and sorrows of the spiritual journey. An especially important quality in

mentors is the acknowledgement of their own humanity – the

fact that they are human beings who make mistakes: not perfect people but forgiven sinners. Sometimes mentors are put on a pedestal, and when they fall, it may have a devastating impact on young people’s ability to continue to engage with the Church. Mentors should not lead young people as passive followers, but walk alongside them, allowing them to be active participants in the journey. They

should respect the freedom that comes with a young person’s process of discernment and equip them with tools to do so well. A mentor should believe wholeheartedly in a young person’s ability to participate in the life of the Church. A mentor should therefore nurture the seeds of faith in young people, without expecting to immediately see the fruits of the

work of the Holy Spirit. This role is not and cannot be limited

to priests and consecrated life, but the laity should also be empowered to take on such a role. All such mentors should benefit from being well-formed, and engage in ongoing formation”.[134]

247. The Church’s educational institutions are undoubtedly a communal setting for accompaniment; they can offer guidance to many young people, especially when they “seek to welcome all young people, regardless of their religious choices, cultural origins and personal, family or social situations. In this way, the Church makes a fundamental contribution to the integral education of the young in various

parts of the world”.[135] They would curtail this role unduly were they to lay down rigid criteria for students to enter and remain in them, since they would deprive many young people

of an accompaniment that could help enrich their lives.

Memento Mori: 5 Benefits to Remembering Your Death

by Sam Guzman www.thecatholicgentleman.net

FINAL THOUGHTS

On the freeway near my home is a rather somber flashing sign that updates travelers on the number of traffic deaths for the year. It is certainly sobering to see the number rise each week. At the beginning of last year the number was zero. By the end of 2015, it was 556.

The purpose of the sign isn’t to ruin your day. It’s to make you drive carefully—to wear your seatbelt, to think twice before you drive while drunk, or even more relevant recently, reconsider before you text and drive. After all, 556 people thought they would make it safely home, but they didn’t. Don’t take any foolish chances, the sign warns us as we speed down the highway. Remembering Your Death The traffic sign isn’t actually all that innovative, it simply borrows a page from the book of Catholic spirituality—Memento Mori, or remembrance of one’s death. Far from being merely depressing, the thought of death can be quite motivating, and that motivation can be put to good use. You see, while most of us would rather not admit it, there is one undeniable fact we must face—sooner or later, we each will die. And yes, that includes you. I don’t know how, or when, or what the cause will be. But you will die…and so will I. There is a long tradition of Memento Mori in Catholicism, and the saints constantly speak of the importance of meditating on the unavoidable fact of death. This exhortation is not out of a kind of macabre obsession or morbid fascination. Rather, the saints thought about death because it helped them live a better life. Here are five benefits to reflecting on the fact that you will die. 1. Use of Time – Time is a precious resource. A moment, once possessed, can never be recaptured. Moreover, what we do with our time will last for eternity. Time is also extremely limited in quantity, and

none of us knows exactly how much we have. We could live another 20, 30 or 40 years—or we could die on the way to work this morning. We simply do not know. These considerations should motivate us to use our time well and not waste it on frivolous activities that have no benefit. That isn’t to say that we can’t relax, enjoy

ourselves or have fun, but true wisdom keeps these things in moderation and does not seek a life of pleasure at the expense of one’s soul. 2. A Holy Fear – Read Matthew 25:31-46. This passage should strike a holy fear into your heart, for we will all be judged

on our works. Many like to claim the name of Catholic or Christian. Maybe they have a rosary hanging from their rear view mirror. Yet, substantively, if you look at their lives, there is hardly any difference between them and a wordly person who does not know God. We are not saved by faith alone. Scripture is quite clear that we will be judged not by what we believed, but by what we did. How terrifying it would be to hear the words, “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into eternal fire…” Are you living in such a way that you can be confident that Christ will say to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant”? Your life proves what is in your heart. Live well so that you can die well. 3. Live with no regrets – How would you live today if you knew it was your last day on earth? Would you live any differently if you knew you would die tomorrow? My guess is that you would. Yet, the truth is, today could be your last day alive. You really could die tomorrow. You simply don’t know. So examine your life in light of eternity. Are you living with purpose or drifting aimlessly? Are you putting off something that you know our Lord is calling you to do? To the world, living with no regrets often means seeking your own interests over those of others, of seeking maximum pleasure in the time that we have. Yet, this is an empty and vain philosophy. To live with no regrets is to give our lives to Jesus and to others. This is the only life that matters. For in eternity, we can only keep what we have first given away. 4. A Legacy of Love or Pain – Each of us leaves behind a legacy interpersonally.

Sometimes that legacy is one of pain and broken relationships, of bitterness and resentment and spite. Yet, in many cases that legacy is one of love and warmth and joy. Everyone you leave behind will remember how you treated them. Do you love your

wife? Do you invest yourself in your kids? How do you treat your parents, your siblings, your friends, even your enemies? How will they remember ? Reconciliation is also a matter to consider: Are there broken relationships that you could mend before you die? Don’t delay to do it. Forgive and seek forgiveness. Your grudge

does not matter in the grave. On our death bed, we can either be surrounded by those who love us, or we can die alone because we have driven everyone away. We can be remembered with tears of sorrow or with a sigh of relief. How do you want to be remembered? 5. Sainthood – Life is short. Eternity is long. In the end, there is only one thing that is really worth living for—holiness. Many are under the impression that holiness is boring, and that sanctity isn’t worth the pursuit. But holiness is not boring. A saint is the human person supernaturalized and transfigured—filled to overflowing with the Divine life of God. How exactly is this boring? Our culture is obsessed with superpowers and superheroes. In the past, society was fascinated with saints. There is a correlation in that, deep down, we know that there is more to the human person than meets the eye. We are capable of extraordinary things by God’s grace, and the call to holiness is a call to a supernatural life. No, perhaps you will not do miracles or levitate—but you can know God and participate in his Divine nature as far as is possible for a creature. And that’s a miracle in itself! There’s only one thing worth living for: sainthood. Don’t waste your life. Be a saint. Live as a Dying Man Life is a gift. Death is inevitable. Don’t waste the most precious of all gifts going nowhere fast. Don’t fritter away your days chasing gadgets, pleasure, promotions, or any number of other things that don’t matter. And if you’re tempted by these things, call to mind the inescapable fact of the grave.

Live for eternity. Love Jesus, love others, forgive and be forgiven, give sacrificially, be humble, pursue the supernatural life of sanctity. Anything less is a waste of time. In short, live as if you were a dying man. Because you are.
