O N F ACINGTHEH UMAN C OMPLEXITYAs we commemorate this Palm or Passion Sunday,Jesus’ entrance into the city of Jerusalem, the placeof his crucifixion and death, I think of Jesus’ courageand relentless spirit to follow his Father’s will tosave us and the whole world. I also think of Jesus’“human” experiences of pain, suffering, rejection,disappointment, empathy, and compassion.Furthermore, I reflect on our lives in the presenttime—how we also confront the complexity of human experience with all we are going through: thepandemic, the war, and the seemingly never-endingracial, political and ideological tensions in society.Indeed, these are trying times. Pope Francis describes these times in his book, Let Us Dream:I see this time as a reckoning. I think of what Jesustells Peter in Luke 22:31, that the devil wants him tobe sifted like wheat. To enter into crisis is to be sifted. Your categories and ways of thinking get shakenup; your priorities and lifestyles are challenged. Youcross a threshold either by your own choice or bynecessity because there are crises, like the one we’regoing through that you can’t avoid.So how do we face this complex world and confrontour fears, helplessness, and anxieties?First, it is by choosing to step into the arena of lifewith courage despite our insecurities and shadows.By saying “Yes” to life daily amid fears, sickness,and uncertainties. In the Book of Deuteronomy(30:19), God says to the Israelites in the wilderness:“I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse;therefore, choose life.”In his book, Alive in God, A Christian Imagination,Fr. Timothy Radcliff OP writes that this “Yes” is theessence of being alive. All the Abrahamic religionsshare the idea of living as an affirmative response toan invitation to life.Second, it is by listening to God’s constant call toengage in the world by offering our gifts, to make adifference in big and small ways. As I would say,God’s call does not retire; it keeps nudging us to dosomething good for others, to be part of a larger purpose or vision for a better world and humanity.To respond to this call, we must shake off the dust ofindifference, pessimism, cynicism, self-judgment,fear of failure, and selfish motives. Instead, we mustwalk the world with eyes and hearts open to thejoys, sufferings, and everyday struggles that unfoldus. By doing so, we come to an ever-deeper sense ofsolidarity. We must also be open to dialogue withothers to enter into fierce conversations on how wecould treat one another more humanly.Finally, we must never forget that every thoughtand action must be grounded in prayer. While fullyimmersed in the world, we must remember that weare not fully “of” the world. God constantly calls usto withdraw daily to pray, reflect, feel grateful for allwe have, and remind ourselves of our values andbeliefs. In short, we must be men and women ofprayer.May these thoughts help you reflect on your life aswe begin Holy Week and look forward with joy tothe celebration of Easter.Your loving Pastor,Fr. Rodel “Odey” Balagtas
