 Camden’s Diamond

 

There is a diamond in Camden,

That all are not aware

It’s location  may be obscure,

But just the same, it’s there!

 

Don’t’ look for it on golden rings,

On bracelets or the like!

Don’t look for it on Broadway

Or even Black Horse Pike!

 

But look for it in Whitman Park

Mechanic Street will end your serach!

Nestled there for one-hundred years,

You’ll find St. Joseph’s Church!

 

Care well, for this precious jewel,

Keep entering her door!

Support and love and cherish her,

And she’ll  last one-hundred more!

2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

          We're introduced this week to an unknown disciple in John's Gospel. Two disciples are followers of John the Baptist. When Jesus walks by, John points him out to them and says, "Behold, the Lamb of God." These two go and follow Jesus and spend the day with him. We find out in today's Gospel that one of the two was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, who then goes and gets Simon Peter and brings him to Jesus as well. So now there are three who will follow Jesus: Peter, Andrew, and this unknown disciple. As we'll discover in John's Gospel during Lent and the Easter season, this third person is the beloved disciple, the Gospel writer's stand-in for every Christian who follows Christ.

 

          John wrote into his Gospel the beloved disciple to highlight the fact that every believer encounters Christ. His presence among us is not some past event. Christ is with us now, and we meet him in the breaking of the bread, in the poor at our door, and in the neighbor we encounter. And Christ is present in the word of God, the Scriptures.

 

          There is a tried-and-true method of biblical prayer that capitalizes on this understanding of the presence of Christ. Take a Gospel story and place yourself in it as one of the characters. Read it and reflect on it as though you were in the setting. For example, with today's Gospel you could imagine that you are Andrew. You are chatting with John the Baptist when he points out Jesus. There is something about that man that immediately attracts you. What is it? Can you imagine that in your prayer? You and your friend go and spend the day with him. Imagine what took place. What entranced you that you had to go and find your brother, Simon, and bring him to Jesus? Let your prayer unfold, and see where it leads you. ©2011 Liturgical Publications Inc.
