Memorial of Saint Jerome, Year I

Luke 9:43B-45

Friends,* in today's Gospel Jesus predicts his being handed over to men,
that is, his crucifixion. *Here is the point I want to make: we are meant
to see on that cross our own ugliness. *What brings **Jesus* *to the cross?
Stupidity, anger, mistrust, institutional injustice, betrayal, denial,
unspeakable cruelty, fear. *St. Peter puts it with disquieting laconicism:
the author of Life came and you killed him. In the light of the cross, *all
of the vermin are revealed*. This is why we speak of the cross as God's
judgment on the world.



So far so awful. But we can't stop telling the story at this point. Dante
and every other spiritual master know that the only way up is down. *When
we live unaware of our sins, we will never make **spiritual progress. So we
need the light, however painful it is. Then we can begin to rise. *Once
Dante makes it all the way to the center of Hell, he suddenly finds himself
climbing out.



*On the cross of* *Jesus,* *we meet our own sin*. *But we also meet the
divine mercy which has taken **that sin **upon himself in order to swallow
it up.*
