Episode 2252: CATHOLICS READ THE SCRIPTURES by Bevil Bramwell OMI

Catholics read the Scriptures: Commentary on Benedict XVI's Verbum Domini by Bevil Bramwell OMIBenedict XVI's exhortation Verbum Domini is a concise summary of the theology of Scripture in the Catholic Church. This book is a graduate level analysis of the Catholic use of Scripture in prayer, liturgy and theology, as it is found in Benedict's exhortation. He also shows the possible uses of the modern tools of exegesis and their limitations when dealing with the Word given by God to his Church.The problem with this kind of tinkering was that one has to be expert in theological anthropology, in Christology and at least some philosophical hermeneutics. The highly developed skills that were demanded led to less able scholars treating the scriptures as a palimpsest on which they could write their own gospel so to speak. The issue of the unique nature of the sacred scriptures such that their only possibility of being understood lies in the tradition that gave them birth and that remains in union with them.Benedict XVI spotted this historical development and included a substantial theology of scripture and tradition in his presentation of the results of the Synod in 2008. As a result, in passing, he outlined a substantial educational project commensurate with the substantial reality that we call the scriptures. If it were ever to be implemented it would transform departments of scripture and the entire conception of how seminary education is carried out.Fr. Bramwell OMI teaches Systematic Theology at Catholic Distance University. He is from South Africa, did his doctorate at Boston College, and has five books to his credit including Laity: Beautiful, Good and True - Hans Urs von Balthasar's Theology of the Laity; The World of the Sacraments - The Catholic Theology of the Sacraments; John Paul II's Ex Corde Ecclesiae - The Gift of Catholic Universities to the World, and The Catholic Priesthood - A 360 Degree View. https://www.amazon.com/Catholics-read-Scriptures-Commentary-Benedict/dp/1494237687www.readersmagnet.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/frbevbramwellrm.mp3

(CCC 1373-1374) By approaching the altar and partaking in the Eucharistic banquet we truly share in the body and blood of Christ. The proclamation of God’s word at the celebration entails an acknowledgment that Christ himself is present, that he speaks to us, (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 7) and that he wishes to be heard. Saint Jerome speaks of the way we ought to approach both the Eucharist and the word of God: “We are reading the sacred Scriptures. For me, the Gospel is the Body of Christ; for me, the holy Scriptures are his teaching. And when he says: whoever does not eat my flesh and drink my blood (Jn 6:53), even though these words can also be understood of the [Eucharistic] Mystery, Christ’s body and blood are really the word of Scripture, God’s teaching. When we approach the [Eucharistic] Mystery, if a crumb falls to the ground we are troubled. Yet when we are listening to the word of God, and God’s Word and Christ’s flesh and blood are being poured into our ears yet we pay no heed, what great peril should we not feel?”. (In Psalmum 147: CCL 78, 337-338) Christ, truly present under the species of bread and wine, is analogously present in the word proclaimed in the liturgy. A deeper understanding of the sacramentality of God’s word can thus lead us to a more unified understanding of the mystery of revelation, which takes place through “deeds and words intimately connected”; (Dei Verbum, 2) an appreciation of this can only benefit the spiritual life of the faithful and the Church’s pastoral activity.” (Verbum Domini, 56) Nicene Creed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_Creed Universal prayers http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/order-of-mass/liturgy-of-the-word/universal-prayer.cfm 1/22/19

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams Today's guest(s): Domenico Bettinelli Links from today's show: Today's topics: Pope Benedict's message for World Communications Day Summary of today's show: What does silence have to do with communication? Everything, says Pope Benedict XVI in his latest message for World Communications Day. Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams are joined by Domenico Bettinelli to talk about the Holy Father's message and the importance of creating a balance between word, silence, images and sound and to let silence lead to contemplation which leads to a deeper relationship with Christ. 1st segment: Scot welcomed everyone to the show and welcomed Fr. Matt Williams back from leading the pilgrimage for the March for Life in Washington, DC. Scot said Monday's show was recorded before the actual March and asked how it went. Fr. Matt gave kudos to the people from his office who coordinated the March: Kathy Stebbins, Steve Colella, and Danielle Olsen. He also said all the group leaders were amazing in their witness and they were a pleasure to work with. After the recording on Monday, they traveled down to Sixth Avenue and lined up with Cardinal Seán, marching with him. Scot asked about the weather. Fr. Matt said it was raining at the start, but for 85% of the walk they didn't need umbrellas. He said many of the groups of kids stopped and prayed the Divine Mercy chaplet in front of the Supreme Court. Fr. Matt talked about how the three different age groups did their own thing after the March. Scot said he's heard some seminarians tell him that going on a March for Life was the beginning of their call to the priesthood. He said he hopes that many of the pilgrims have the opportunity to discern their vocation. He also said he hopes the pilgrimage see that they are not alone in living their faith. Fr. Matt said the pilgrims are accompanied by witnesses who show them how to live that Catholic life. Whenever you see a priest or religious, you can say that person gave their life for me and the witnesses on the March showed the same truth. The pilgrimage exposes them to the experience of God through all these different streams. Scot said the Popes have issued for 42 years a message on the Feast of St. Francis de Sales and in recent years it's been focused on digital media. This year, Pope Benedict focuses on the value of silence in communication. 2nd segment: Scot welcomed Dom and said we'll read each paragraph and comment on it as we go. As we draw near to World Communications Day 2012, I would like to share with you some reflections concerning an aspect of the human process of communication which, despite its importance, is often overlooked and which, at the present time, it would seem especially necessary to recall. It concerns the relationship between silence and word: two aspects of communication which need to be kept in balance, to alternate and to be integrated with one another if authentic dialogue and deep closeness between people are to be achieved. When word and silence become mutually exclusive, communication breaks down, either because it gives rise to confusion or because, on the contrary, it creates an atmosphere of coldness; when they complement one another, however, communication acquires value and meaning. Silence is an integral element of communication; in its absence, words rich in content cannot exist. In silence, we are better able to listen to and understand ourselves; ideas come to birth and acquire depth; we understand with greater clarity what it is we want to say and what we expect from others; and we choose how to express ourselves. By remaining silent we allow the other person to speak, to express him or herself; and we avoid being tied simply to our own words and ideas without them being adequately tested. In this way, space is created for mutual listening, and deeper human relationships become possible. It is often in silence, for example, that we observe the most authentic communication taking place between people who are in love: gestures, facial expressions and body language are signs by which they reveal themselves to each other. Joy, anxiety, and suffering can all be communicated in silence – indeed it provides them with a particularly powerful mode of expression. Silence, then, gives rise to even more active communication, requiring sensitivity and a capacity to listen that often makes manifest the true measure and nature of the relationships involved. When messages and information are plentiful, silence becomes essential if we are to distinguish what is important from what is insignificant or secondary. Deeper reflection helps us to discover the links between events that at first sight seem unconnected, to make evaluations, to analyze messages; this makes it possible to share thoughtful and relevant opinions, giving rise to an authentic body of shared knowledge. For this to happen, it is necessary to develop an appropriate environment, a kind of ‘eco-system' that maintains a just equilibrium between silence, words, images and sounds. 3rd segment: The process of communication nowadays is largely fueled by questions in search of answers. Search engines and social networks have become the starting point of communication for many people who are seeking advice, ideas, information and answers. In our time, the internet is becoming ever more a forum for questions and answers – indeed, people today are frequently bombarded with answers to questions they have never asked and to needs of which they were unaware. If we are to recognize and focus upon the truly important questions, then silence is a precious commodity that enables us to exercise proper discernment in the face of the surcharge of stimuli and data that we receive. Amid the complexity and diversity of the world of communications, however, many people find themselves confronted with the ultimate questions of human existence: Who am I? What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope? It is important to affirm those who ask these questions, and to open up the possibility of a profound dialogue, by means of words and interchange, but also through the call to silent reflection, something that is often more eloquent than a hasty answer and permits seekers to reach into the depths of their being and open themselves to the path towards knowledge that God has inscribed in human hearts. Ultimately, this constant flow of questions demonstrates the restlessness of human beings, ceaselessly searching for truths, of greater or lesser import, that can offer meaning and hope to their lives. Men and women cannot rest content with a superficial and unquestioning exchange of skeptical opinions and experiences of life – all of us are in search of truth and we share this profound yearning today more than ever: “When people exchange information, they are already sharing themselves, their view of the world, their hopes, their ideals” (Message for the 2011 World Day of Communications ). Attention should be paid to the various types of websites, applications and social networks which can help people today to find time for reflection and authentic questioning, as well as making space for silence and occasions for prayer, meditation or sharing of the word of God. In concise phrases, often no longer than a verse from the Bible, profound thoughts can be communicated, as long as those taking part in the conversation do not neglect to cultivate their own inner lives. It is hardly surprising that different religious traditions consider solitude and silence as privileged states which help people to rediscover themselves and that Truth which gives meaning to all things. The God of biblical revelation speaks also without words: “As the Cross of Christ demonstrates, God also speaks by his silence. The silence of God, the experience of the distance of the almighty Father, is a decisive stage in the earthly journey of the Son of God, the incarnate Word …. God's silence prolongs his earlier words. In these moments of darkness, he speaks through the mystery of his silence”(Verbum Domini ,21). The eloquence of God's love, lived to the point of the supreme gift, speaks in the silence of the Cross. After Christ's death there is a great silence over the earth, and on Holy Saturday, when “the King sleeps and God slept in the flesh and raised up those who were sleeping from the ages”(cf. Office of Readings, Holy Saturday), God's voice resounds, filled with love for humanity. If God speaks to us even in silence, we in turn discover in silence the possibility of speaking with God and about God. “We need that silence which becomes contemplation, which introduces us into God's silence and brings us to the point where the Word, the redeeming Word, is born” (Homily, Eucharistic Celebration with Members of the International Theological Commission , 6 October 2006). In speaking of God's grandeur, our language will always prove inadequate and must make space for silent contemplation. Out of such contemplation springs forth, with all its inner power, the urgent sense of mission, the compelling obligation “to communicate that which we have seen and heard” so that all may be in communion with God (1 Jn 1:3). Silent contemplation immerses us in the source of that Love who directs us towards our neighbours so that we may feel their suffering and offer them the light of Christ, his message of life and his saving gift of the fullness of love. In silent contemplation, then, the eternal Word, through whom the world was created, becomes ever more powerfully present and we become aware of the plan of salvation that God is accomplishing throughout our history by word and deed. As the Second Vatican Council reminds us, divine revelation is fulfilled by “deeds and words having an inner unity: the deeds wrought by God in the history of salvation manifest and confirm the teaching and realities signified by the words, while the words proclaim the deeds and clarify the mystery contained in them”(Dei Verbum ,2).This plan of salvation culminates in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, the mediator and the fullness of all revelation. He has made known to us the true face of God the Father and by his Cross and Resurrection has brought us from the slavery of sin and death to the freedom of the children of God. The fundamental question of the meaning of human existence finds in the mystery of Christ an answer capable of bringing peace to the restless human heart. The Church's mission springs from this mystery; and it is this mystery which impels Christians to become heralds of hope and salvation, witnesses of that love which promotes human dignity and builds justice and peace. Word and silence: learning to communicate is learning to listen and contemplate as well as speak. This is especially important for those engaged in the task of evangelization: both silence and word are essential elements, integral to the Church's work of communication for the sake of a renewed proclamation of Christ in today's world. To Mary, whose silence “listens to the Word and causes it to blossom”(Private Prayer at the Holy House , Loreto, 1 September 2007), I entrust all the work of evangelization which the Church undertakes through the means of social communication.
