Dear Father:
I came across a rather witty letter to the editor in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal. David Chanoff was writing a response to Father James Martin’s Op-Ed piece in the January 12th Wall Street Journal: “Does God Care Who Wins Football Games?”

Dear Fathers:
My Great-Uncle Balzer was as tall as he was round. Balzer Kunnanz was his name. It’s a German shortened name for Balthazar – one of the three kings. He was the youngest brother of my grandmother. She complained that he was treated like one of the three kings too!
My trusty aide, David Valdivia scanned a picture of my grandparents’ generation standing in front of their first wood-framed house in America – Selz, North Dakota – to be exact. The previous house was made of sod. You can see the clan all lined up in front of their new house. No one spoke English. Everyone spoke German. In this photo, my great grandmother is pregnant with Uncle Balzer.

Dear Father:
“Everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” These words of Jesus from the Gospel of St. Matthew on the Thirty-third Sunday of Ordinary time seem so unusual.
“Unusual”, as you know from my previous letters to you, is the single adjective I’ve used to describe the kingdom Jesus proclaims: a kingdom formed – not from mighty armies – but from the landless poor of Galilee; a capital not in Jerusalem or Rome – but in backwater Bethlehem; a king who comes – not as a powerful ruler – but a vulnerable infant; a royal court – not made from high society – but lowly shepherds of the field – a crown – not of gold but of thorns – a throne – not in the shape of a chair – but in the form of the cross.
