Beauty Leads to God
All of us have people in our lives that we want to help grow and change. We may want to help our spouse overcome a struggle or be more helpful. We may want to guide our children to be more polite and responsible. Or we may want to encourage our parents to take better care of their health. For me, as a priest, I’m passionate about bringing people to Jesus and helping them grow.
But sometimes we make a critical mistake: we give people advice in a bad way. We talk to them in a frustrated tone, or complain, nag, and whine about their defects. Do we ever shout when we’re trying to correct someone? When we help people like this, it’s not very persuasive.
Today, Jesus reminds us of a fundamental truth that we all take for granted but that is so fruitful in helping us to help the people we love. In the Gospel, Jesus is transfigured: “The appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white” (Lk 9:29). Pope Francis comments on this, saying, “Jesus is revealed to the three disciples as transfigured, luminescent and most beautiful… His face is so resplendent and his robes so white that Peter… wishes to stay there.”
The truth that Jesus is reminding us of is that beauty leads us to God. E.g. When we see a beautiful s

A man always finds a reason
My French-Canadian grandfather was always a great resource for the best figures of speech.One of my favorites is “Un homme trouve toujours une raison pour tuer son chien.”(A man always finds a reason to kill his dog.)
In other words, if you want someone hanged, you’ll find something to accuse them of, no matter what.
It just so happens those sought after accusations were a matter of public record in the case of Father Lucien Larré.Though he was awarded the Order of Canada for succeeding “beyond measure in restoring the lost to their rightful place in society,” many seem to be focused on the fact that he has some questionable moments in his past.
Larre said any controversy in his past bears little relation to Morgentaler’s fight for abortion rights.
Two things:
First, Father Larré is fully aware of his own past.Yet he dared to have a light shone on him by being (what I hope will be) the first of many to send back his Order of Canada medal.An assault charge dating back over 30 years ago could have been enough to paralyze him from protesting as he did.We hear one motivational speaker after another tell us not to let our less than perfect pasts get in our way, yet as soon as we see someone put that into practice, as Father Larré has do
