Scrooge and Jorge Valdez
Have you ever seen a lawn that hasn't been cut for a couple weeks? The soul that
separates itself from God ends up in a similar state, because God is the source of
existence, and order, and wisdom, and purpose - all that makes a life fruitful and
meaningful. Cut yourself off from the source and everything good withers, while
weeds flourish. Scrooge [the character from Charles Dickens's famous Christmas
story] is the perfect representative of what sin does to our souls and communities. His
life was full of immense potential, but his self-centeredness caused it to be wasted and
withered. He made himself into a miserable man, and he spread misery to all those
around him, cutting off the flow of God's goods to persons in need, all because of
selfishness. Sinful attitudes and habits make us into Scrooges: shriveling up
ourselves, making others suffer, choking the flow of grace and goodness that makes us
and those around us happy. Jorge Valdéz [HOR-hay Vahl-DEHSS] is Founder and
President of "Coming Clean Ministries." Jorge spent his youth building up the
American branch of the Colombian drug cartel. At one point he was raking in almost
2 million dollars a month. But it tore apart his life and family. He went through three
wives, put his immigrant parents through moral torture, destroyed countless other lives
through his imported drugs, and even indirectly caused the death of the few real
friends he had. In prison he began to discover that Christ is the true source of
fruitfulness. He eventually converted, earned a PhD in Scripture studies, and turned
his life around. Now, instead of wreaking havoc and destruction, his "Coming Clean
Ministries" is saving young people from the hell he himself experienced. Sin matters,
but with Christ, it's never the end of the story.
Admitting Our Sins
The most essential step in purifying our life from sin and its destructive repercussions
is the step we most often skip over: admitting that we commit sins. This is not
popular. It is much more fashionable to blame our selfishness on other people or
social circumstances. But the Bible and the Church are very clear about this. We are
all sinners, we have all "fallen short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), and if we say
we haven't, we are "deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8). This
is no cause for depression or discouragement - this is the reason Jesus came to save us
- and he can save us; that's the whole point of Christianity! We admit this publicly at
the beginning of every Mass: "I confess to almighty God..." The greatest saints have
accused themselves of being the greatest sinners. St Francis of Assisi called himself
the worst sinner he knew. One of his followers objected: "Oh c'mon Francis, you
know you're holier than all the rest of us combined." St Francis looked at him and
responded: "If anyone else had received half the grace I have received, they would be
twice as holy as I am." He knew he was a sinner. If we think we're not so bad, it's a
sure sign that we have been infected by the lies of popular culture, and that we need to
ask for some help to find out how bad we really are. Until we learn to take
responsibility for our selfish actions and tendencies, God will not be able to really
rejuvenate the garden of our soul with his grace. But once we do, and once confession
becomes a regular part of our lives, then we will begin to experience what St Paul
called in today's Second Reading, "The peace of God that surpasses all
understanding." Jesus wants to give us that peace. Let's give him the chance.
