Fr. Bob's Reflection for the Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - micheletkearney@gmail.com - Gmail
26th Sunday of Ordinary Time – September 25, 2022
Many people used to come to Mother Teresa. They wanted to get involved in her work. Mother Teresa being a wise woman could tell if they had what it took to work with her sisters. Most of the time she would smile and tell them gently, “Go back to your home and find your own Calcutta.” In other words, bloom where you are planted and tend to the needs of others where you live.
The rich man in the gospel is not condemned because he is rich. He is condemned because he never saw Lazarus, who lived out his miserably poor life right outside his gate. When he did see him, it was too late. Perhaps, one of the most terrifying dangers in having possessions is that they threaten us with blindness. The sin of the rich man was not that he ordered Lazarus removed from his property—he didn’t. It was not that he kicked Lazarus or shouted obscenities at him as he passed--he didn’t.
The sin of the rich man was simply that he never noticed Lazarus. He accepted him as part of the landscape of life. The sin of the rich man was that he accepted, without question, the fact that Lazarus was poor and he was rich. The sin of the rich man was not a sin of commission; which is doing something he should not have done. The sin of the rich man was a sin of omission, which is not doing something he should have done.
The sin of the rich man was basking in his own personal wealth, and not lifting a finger to help Lazarus in his dire need. The sin of the rich man was the same sin that is being committed over and over today. It is this sin that is beginning to cause grave concern. Not only because of what it is doing to the poor but also because of what it is doing to society. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor it cannot save the few who are rich.
In other words, our lack of concern for the poor is destroying not only the poor but also the very moral fabric of our society. The Lazarus’s of the world do not always want material help. Sometimes they need emotional and spiritual support, an ear to listen, a hand to touch. Find your own Calcutta; it is probably nearer than you ever imagined. Raise your eyes to see the Lazarus’s among us.
I want to tell you about a young man, Jeff, a resident of St. Christopher’s Inn (SCI). SCI is a drug and alcohol rehab recovery treatment program as a ministry of the Friars of the Atonement. He was mandated by a judge to go into a drug recovery program. He was uncooperative and incorrigible. Jeff would normally be asked to leave, but we cut him some slack because if he left he would go to jail. But he was still a problem client. It was a very cold winter and a company had given a large consignment of blankets to the Inn—more than we could use. We decided to take some blankets to the city and give them out to the homeless.
A Friar and five men went in the van to distribute the blankets and, by some mistake, Jeff was included. When they arrived at the location a large crowd of homeless gathered around the van. When all the blankets were given out, the men got back in the van to return to the Inn. Jeff was in the front seat next to the Friar and it had started to snow. When the Friar looked down, Jeff had no shoes on. The Friar asked, “Jeff where are your shoes?” Jeff answered, “I gave a man a blanket but he had no shoes, so I gave him mine.” He found his own Calcutta. It was a gospel moment. From that time on Jeff’s whole attitude changed. He started to cooperate with the program, and today, he is happily married with two children. So the question is does your heart go out to others? Or are you just nice to the beautiful people…to the educated, sophisticated and the smart?
What about the others, those who bore you or those you simply cannot stand? Those who ask not for money or food, but for your time and your compassion and understanding? For your comfort, few if any of you, will be asked by the Lord to sell what you possess and give it to the poor. But for your discomfort every single one of you will be asked by the Lord, how much did you care and for whom? Look around you, your own Calcutta is closer than you think.
Fr. Bob Warren, SA
Yours in Christ,
Father Bob Warren, S.A. Signature

Lies and Dishonor Plague America's War Machine
By William J. Astore
As a military professor for six years at the U.S. Air Force Academy in the 1990s, I often walked past the honor code prominently displayed for all cadets to see. Its message was simple and clear: they were not to tolerate lying, cheating, stealing, or similar dishonorable acts. Yet that’s exactly what the U.S. military and many of America’s senior civilian leaders have been doing from the Vietnam War era to this very day: lying and cooking the books, while cheating and stealing from the American people. And yet the most remarkable thing may be that no honor code turns out to apply to them, so they've suffered no consequences for their mendacity and malfeasance.
Where's the "honor" in that?

In Ukraine, Any Accident Could Turn a Crisis Into a Catastrophe - CounterPunch.org
In Ukraine, Any Accident Could Turn a Crisis Into a Catastrophe - CounterPunch.org: It is conventional wisdom to say that dictators like Putin and Saddam Hussein are particularly prone to an exaggerated idea of their own strength and of the weakness of their enemies. This is true enough of Putin in Ukraine, as it was for Saddam Hussein’s invasions of Iran in 1980 and Kuwait in 1990. But George W Bush and Tony Blair were equally hubristic in Afghanistan in 2001 and in Iraq in 2003.

Remembering John Rowe: Utility Titan, Philanthropist and History Lover Who Has Died at Age 77
By Llewellyn King
John Rowe, the electric utility leader and innovator, who has died at the age of 77, loved history. He loved it so much that he had an Egyptian sarcophagus on display in his office. Not, mind you, a copy, but the real thing. The Egyptian government was always trying to get it back, but Rowe told me that he couldn’t bring himself to part with it.
That antique in his office wasn’t so much an eccentricity as it was emblematic of a man whose interests ranged across history, from the time of the Egyptian pharaohs to modern American presidents. Rowe and his interests were sweeping, as was his trajectory across the electric utility industry firmament.
Although Rowe rose to the very pinnacle of success in the electric utility business as chairman and CEO of the giant Chicago-based Exelon, he was, in many ways, antithetical to the role. He liked to describe himself in conversation as “an industrialist,” a word that paints mental pictures of stern railroad tycoons, tailored from their spats to their heavily starched collars, exuding intimidation. Looking at Rowe, you would be more likely to think of Winnie the Pooh, a pudgy, cuddly bear.
There was nothing intimidating about him. Effective, yes; intimidating, no.
That wasn’t Rowe. Intimidation wasn’t an arrow in his executive quiver. Instead, it was loaded with ideas, passion, innovations, and real care for those who were affected by his decisions, from Joe and Jill ratepayer to his own staff. He held the top jobs at three utilities: Central Maine Power, New England Electric, and Exelon.
After retirement, Rowe taught history in a charter school that he and his wife Jeanne founded in a troubled Chicago neighborhood. He told me it was one of the toughest things he had ever done. He found the kids bright and eager, but many would be attacked on their way home for carrying books and wanting to learn.
Tom Kuhn, president of the Edison Electric Institute, knew Rowe over many years, including his time as chairman of EEI, said, “John and Jeanne were prolific and dedicated philanthropists and civic leaders. Among their many philanthropic endeavors, the Rowes founded numerous professorships at institutions of higher learning, as well as the Rowe Elementary-Middle School, and they cofounded the Rowe-Clark Math and Science Academy.”
Rowe always struck me as a benign cherub, sent from wherever cherubs hole up, to fix things.
From the tributes which poured in, others also saw the larger man -- the man who transcended the C-suite. Sheila Hollis, acting executive director of the U.S. Energy Association, said, “He was an extraordinary executive – wise, creative and kind.”
I saw this up close when deregulation burst upon the utility industry, and Rowe decided it would be good for the ratepayers and shareholders of New England Electric, where he was chairman and CEO, to deregulate.
To deregulate was to sail through unchartered waters. He took the helm and kept his course. It led to his being chosen to head Exelon, where he became the first chairman and CEO when it was formed in 2000.
During the deregulation revolution, we talked on the phone, but sometimes he asked me to come up to Boston from Washington. We would have lunch and talk as much about the British or Spanish empires as the issue of deregulation. Rowe was always so far ahead of me that I had nothing to tell him anyway.
Being ahead was typical of Rowe. He was an ardent advocate of nuclear power; and when he went to Exelon, he became the de facto proprietor of the largest U.S. nuclear fleet, totaling 19 reactors.
It was a shock when, a few years later, Rowe announced that Exelon wouldn’t build new nuclear and was switching to natural gas because it was what the economics dictated, and he couldn’t allow his personal preference to overrule what was best for the utility’s customers and shareholders.
To make such a turn must have been very hard for Rowe who had put a great deal of effort into promoting nuclear power, and was a believer in it – until the market went against it. He had even served as chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute.
But it was typical of Rowe. Like a good pilot, he believed his instruments; and when they told him a new course was needed, he made the correction.
A battle that Rowe didn’t win was the one for a carbon tax. He spent time and money after his retirement campaigning for a carbon tax, still devoutly opposed in Congress. He wanted a package that taxed carbon but also retired onerous regulations.
I remember one especially wonderful dinner with Rowe in Chicago. He sent his limo for me -- and it was indicative of how little John cared about appearances. The limo’s ceiling fabric was coming down, and the whole vehicle looked a little shabby. The meal was classic and the conversation cutting-edge as Rowe’s enthusiasms bubbled. We started with single malt whisky and moved to fine wine. A fine mind and fine wine were what you got when you dined with Rowe.
Clinton Vince, chair of the U.S. energy practice at Dentons, said, “He was a great innovator and a thoroughly decent man.”
I regret that John Rowe’s wise counsel in everything, from the future of electricity to the best way to help the kids of Chicago, won’t be heard again. I regret that new audiences won’t hear about the achievements of ancient peoples, told with dancing wit. And I very much regret I will never dine again with that wonderful man, John Rowe, survived by his wife and son William, a lawyer.
