flank, shot, goal! - And the Holy Spirit

Two blind Twins may to some back and forth to visit a religious school rule, cut off as best in class and will be honored with an award - and with them their whole class. This beautiful story told in some detail our bishop in his Pfingspredigt as an example of the Holy Spirit.

A similar story from my circle of friends: two deaf brothers also not attend the relevant specialty boarding school but each to their age corresponding regulation school. The elder is already a well-run religious school and was proposed last summer because of his grades for the talent (which he declined, because he "can not be bothered to nothing but nerds in the class had.). The younger one is constantly making nonsense in the primary school because he is always too soon finished with his duties. The highly successful visit of the two school nobody's ever pushed on a remarkable work of the Holy Spirit, and I would be without these Pentecostal preaching certainly never come up with the idea. For it is the power of the two boys and their parents, in this case, especially the mother that she will get along well in the world.

The breath of the Holy Spirit, I feel closer to the following statement: The family expects her third child at the time that it's a boy again, they already know. The first reaction of the brothers to the surprising news: "As soon as he can run, he must immediately play football with us, or he can go right!" Flank, shot, goal! What it does because for a role, whether it is perhaps hard of hearing or what grades he will get so much?

La Clemenza di Tito

the coronation of Leopold II of Bohemia, Mozart composed an opera in which everything revolves around the mildness ("Clemenza") of the Roman Emperor Titus. Not that there were any historical evidence that Titus was a particularly mild Regent. This generosity in terms of historical facts had a very different Background: Such an opera - just composed of a coronation - should prove the ideal of a ruler and serve freshly baked king as an incentive. (How Leopold suggested as ruler of Bohemia, I is not known.) No wonder that this Mozart opera in the 19th most played And in the 20th century belonged Century from the repertoires of opera houses disappeared.



A week ago I was able to attend a performance of this work more or less random. I stayed for a few days in New York and it was the only opportunity to get the chance to roll in the Met. Without high expectations I enjoyed the beautiful staging and listened to the progress of the story when she suddenly grabbed me completely. It was not about Tito's generosity, which struck me in its spell. The ideal for human action, I could identify with it at any time (without wishing to say that I was a very good person).


Tito's friend Sesto, who had become a traitor and had carried out an attack on his imperial friend, moved me much more. Not betray his friend for the love of a woman who abused her as a tool for revenge, no. Once the conspiracy was uncovered, can Tito after some dramatic internal struggle to decide Sesto fully to forgive. But Sesto almost begging for his just punishment, not because he can live with this guilt.


In this conflict, I could very well put into it: I find it much easier to forgive others than myself But exactly at this point is salvation in practice. If we are Christ wholly and entirely by his death and resurrection has redeemed, then this is more than the moral call to forgive one another as we pray in the Lord's Prayer: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive our debtors." Then this is the last and only way to accept myself, even with all that I can not forgive himself. This is not easy. But it helps make me aware that God loves me the way I am. And if I can stand this certainty that God loves me to the darkest corner of my soul into it, the most important step is already done, to be able to accept me.


The next morning I went on St. Patrick's Cathedral to the fair and what with "La Clemenza di Tito" was started in the homily of Cardinal Egan's forest setting. He also chose the theme of redemption, and it brought my memory after so to the point: ". Do not make a drama about sin, make a drama about salvation" (Do not fuss about your sins but of your salvation.)
