SUMMARY:Advent Weekday
DESCRIPTION:THE ONE RIGHT WAY\nBy St John Henry Newman 7\n◊◊◊\nIt takes a long time really to feel and understand things as they are; we learn to do so only gradually. Profession beyond our feelings is only a fault when we might help it; when either we speak when we need not speak\, or do not feel when we might have felt. Hard insensible hearts\, ready and thoughtless talkers\, these are they whose unreality\, as I have termed it\, is a sin; it is the sin of every one of us\, in proportion as our hearts are cold\, or our tongues excessive. \nBut the mere fact of our saying more than we feel is not necessarily sinful. St Peter did not rise up to the full meaning of his confession\, “Thou art the Christ\,” yet he was pronounced blessed. St James and St John said\, “We are able\,” without clear apprehension\, yet without offense. We ever promise things greater than we master\, and we wait on God to enable us to perform them. Our promising involves a prayer for light and strength. And so again we all say the Creed\, but who comprehends it fully? All we can hope is\, that we are in the way to understand it; that we partly understand it; that we desire\, pray\, and strive to understand it more and more. Our Creed becomes a sort of prayer. Persons are culpably unreal in their way of speaking\, not when they say more than they feel\, but when they say things different from what they feel… \nWhat I have been saying comes to this – be in earnest\, and you will speak of religion where\, and when\, and how you should; aim at things\, and your words will be right without aiming. There are ten thousand ways of looking at this world\, but only one right way. The person of pleasure has his way\, the man of gain his\, and the man of intellect his. Poor people and rich people\, governors and governed\, prosperous and discontented\, learned and unlearned\, each has its own way of looking at the things which come before it\, and each has a wrong way. \nThere is but one right way; it is the way in which God looks at the world. Aim at looking at it in God’s way. Aim at seeing things as God sees them. Aim at forming judgments about persons\, events\, ranks\, fortunes\, changes\, objects\, such as God forms. Aim at looking at this life as God looks at it. Aim at looking at the life to come\, and the world unseen\, as God does. Aim at “seeing the King in His beauty.” All things that we see are but shadows to us and delusions\, unless we enter into what they really mean. \nIt is not an easy thing to learn that new language which Christ has brought us. He has interpreted all things for us in a new way; He has brought us a religion which sheds a new light on all that happens. Try to learn this language. Do not get it by rote\, or speak it as a thing of course. Try to understand what you say. Time is short\, eternity is long… \n7\nParochial and Plain Sermons\, John Henry Newman. Ignatius Press\, San Francisco 1987. pp.977-978.
