Meditation: Behold, I Make All Things New
By: Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor
I most often use this space to share a brief reflection or meditation on the weekend’s Gospel reading, and very occasionally to share news or announcements about goings-on in the parish. Seldomly do we take time to consider the first two readings, and even when that happens it is usually to examine the context of the First (most of the year, the Old Testament) Reading. For the past few weeks, however, we have been given some very provocative passages from the Book of Revelation for our Second Reading, and they deserve some attention!
This weekend, we are in the 21st chapter of Revelation, which is quite near the end of the whole book. Our narrator and scribe, John, reports what he is seeing. He sees a “new heaven and a new earth, the former heaven and the former earth had passed away.”
This is a striking image, and if it is a prediction or a prophecy about the future, it is a startling one. At the end of this world, when the Lamb who is seated on the throne, will take his own to himself and this present world will be dissolved in fire. Why is this necessary? I think there are a few ways of approaching this question. Certainly, there is a form of parallelism happening with the Great Flood. God promised to never again purge the earth with a flood— he didn’t promise anything about fire!— and so God keeps his earlier promise while still carrying out something that feels necessary: the world needs to be cleansed. The world is too corrupted by sin to be able to contain what God wants it to contain, which seemingly includes children (us) who are capable of giving Him right worship. This world isn’t capable of doing that, or if it once was, it is no longer.
It is striking to me that, while God will erase and reset the heavens and the earth, He does not seem inclined to erase us. This reminds me of the conversations between Moses and the Lord, when God proposed wiping out the people and starting over again from scratch with Moses. Moses protested and said that this would besmirch God’s reputation for fidelity. Here in Revelation God shows that his fidelity is true beyond measure. He does not wipe out the people, he cleanses his chosen ones and makes their garments white in his own Blood. This old world, weighed down by sin and sadness, will no longer be a fitting home for God’s redeemed children. C.S. Lewis might say, “they won’t fit.” Instead, God prepares a new heaven and a new earth for his loved ones he has made new by his sacrifice of faithfulness.

The Year of Hope
Pope Francis declared 2025 as the Jubilee Year of Hope and has called for this Jubilee Year to "be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.” (Spes Non Confundit, 1). Christ is truly the "Hope that does not disappoint."
As Pilgrims of Hope, we are encouraged to draw closer to God through prayer, study, formation, and pilgrimage. The Diocese of Colorado Springs website offers a number of resources to assist on your journey, including recommendations on books, formations/ studies, ministry resources, podcasts, prayers, and more!

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
