\u201c<\/strong><\/em>Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.\u201d<\/em> ~ Luke 21:14-16<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Perhaps you have heard of the Brown Palace in Denver.\u00a0 It is a beautiful old hotel in downtown Denver, built in the late 1880s, and maintained to this day in the grand style of that era.\u00a0 One of the highly recommended activities, if you live in or visit Denver, is high tea at the Brown Palace. A bucket list activity, something to remember!\u00a0 Many years ago, I went to high tea at the Brown Palace with a dear friend.\u00a0 Tea is served in the hotel\u2019s atrium, in grand style.\u00a0 The upper floors overlook the atrium, and it is so beautiful to look up to the sky or down to the guests from those floors.\u00a0 The atrium floor is filled with beautifully dressed guests, enjoying delicate pastries and sandwiches.\u00a0 It is a very formal event. We were having the time of our lives!<\/p>\n

So, imagine our surprise when a young woman leaned over the rail of the third floor.\u00a0 She was clearly a bride, and one would guess that her wedding reception was going on in a private ballroom, just off that railing.\u00a0 And she called out, \u201cHey, everyone!\u201d\u00a0 When we looked up, she yelled, \u201cI just got married!\u201d\u00a0 And she whooped!<\/p>\n

We were caught off guard a bit, but when we realized what was going on, we all laughed, clapped, and cheered. \u00a0Her groom came out, they both joyously whooped again, and then he pulled her back into their own party.<\/p>\n

We can easily guess that this young woman was moved by the spirit and the emotion of the very special day. (And maybe a glass of champagne.)\u00a0 And there was no adversary involved in her decision to speak out like this!\u00a0 Only joy and excitement!<\/p>\n

I tell this story because one can understand how easy it is to hear the spirit in this situation, and act on it. If you were in a similar situation, I don\u2019t even think you would give it a second thought to act on what the spirit is calling for you to say and do.<\/p>\n

But a wedding day is rare in each of our lifetimes. It represents happiness and a bright future, a once-in-a-lifetime event.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s gospel<\/a> refers to being faced with an unpleasant situation.\u00a0 We must pass on bad news or face someone involved in something that we know is a sinful situation.\u00a0 Even though they are good people, we know that they are doing something sinful.\u00a0 \u201cAdmonish the sinner\u201d is what we are told to do.\u00a0 But it is always hard to find the right words to do that.\u00a0 The other instruction we are given is to \u201cLove the sinner\u201d.\u00a0 Those two sentences seem to oppose each other.<\/p>\n

This verse is a great reminder of these two very different instructions.\u00a0 We know in our hearts what is true, but it is difficult to have that discussion.\u00a0 We can\u2019t always predict when we will be called to have \u201cthe conversation\u201d, or even with whom. The topics of \u201cthe conversation\u201d could be so many that I wouldn\u2019t even begin to list them.<\/p>\n

But if we hold to what Jesus taught while on earth and dedicate our lives to listening to him through the Holy Spirit<\/a>, we will be ready. Because of the unpredictability of the adversary, we can\u2019t have a canned or rehearsed speech ready.\u00a0 But we can train ourselves to listen for the guidance the Holy Spirit gives us and follow through on it.\u00a0 We are instruments in His hands, waiting to be played for His great glory.<\/p>\n

Certainly, our bride at the beginning of this reflection didn\u2019t have a plan to announce her new marriage to an atrium full of strangers. Yet she responded to her call, and all these years later, I have a beautiful memory of her doing it!<\/p>\n

By listening to the Holy Spirit, you too could have a lasting effect on someone.\u00a0 And we know that God\u2019s purpose is for the effect to be for the better.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/h3>\n

Holy Spirit, please guide me in all situations, large and small, to listen for your direction, to share your good news with all that I encounter.\u00a0 As I approach each new day, help me find ways to hear what your goal is for me.\u00a0 Please open the hearts and minds of those I encounter, and give me the knowledge, strength, and courage to live your word in all I do.<\/p>\n

Call to Action:<\/h3>\n

Advent starts on Sunday.\u00a0 Use this blessed season to take some time and reflect on the upcoming birth of the baby Jesus.\u00a0 Think of the effect his arrival has on the world.\u00a0 What small way can you act on what He wants for the world, even if the world is the small community you live in?<\/p>\n
