Fr. Colin Stewart
Elgin, Moray
One of my parishioners died
earlier today, and I feel that I
can now safely write to you:
there is no longer any risk that
she might read this, and be sad.
Jo (not her real name) was
diagnosed with breast cancer a
few years ago, and, since then,
had been living with the
disease, loving her family and
unfailingly kind and generous
to her friends. Throughout her
illness, she has enjoyed the
love and support of her
husband—a thoroughly good
man, whose care for Jo and
their family has been a model
of selfless commitment.
In the years up to the
appearance of the cancer, Jo
never sought Communion at
Mass. I understood that her
long, happy and stable
relationship was “irregular”:
her partner is a divorcee.
As soon as I heard how ill Jo
was, however, I encouraged her
to start receiving Communion
again. She was grateful for the
invitation, and found great
solace in the Sacrament. One
day, she and her partner
approached me, asking that I
should marry them, and I had to
explain that I was unable to ,
because he was not “free to
marry”.
I was deeply saddened by my
inability to help. Clearly I had
failed to ensure that they were
entirely aware of the
implications of their own
situation. In fairness to myself,
however, I would say that this
couple had enough to think
about most days.
Characteristically attuned to
the needs of others, they were
concerned only for me—they
were sorry, they said, to have
“put me in a difficult situation”.
The memory of these
undeserved kind words still
makes me flinch.
Some months later they were
married in a local hotel, by an
Evangelical pastor—a man of
great humanity and pastoral
sensitivity. I was thankful and
honored to be a guest. I was
similarly uplifted to be given
the opportunity to bless the
couple.
Since that powerfully happy,
grace-filled family day, Jo’s
health has deteriorated steadily,
and today she died.
No one reading this will feel
anything but sympathy for the
family, I am sure. But some, I
think, will tell me that this
situation—along with other
similar ones—cannot form any
part of a movement for change
in church practice, since, as we
all know, “hard cases make bad
law”.
I wonder. I’ve been in
pastoral ministry for over 30
years, and I think that “hard
cases’ form the everyday
reality of most parish clergy.
People with uncomplicated
lives seldom approach me for
help—they have little need.
The people I meet come with
complex back-stories. They ask
me to accompany them.
Sometimes, I fear that I fail
them needlessly.

St. Paul declares in his letter to the Corinthians, the Second
Reading, “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Certainly
anyone who knows much about St. Paul would not view him as a
weak man. This is a man who, through his strong faith, put his
life in jeopardy constantly. He endured imprisonment and
shipwrecks. Yet, he admits to having weaknesses.
There is something humiliating in admitting one’s weaknesses.
Humility is an important trait in living a life of stewardship.
Being able to recognize and admit our shortcomings is essential
for us to have the strength Paul demonstrates. That is his point in
today’s reading, and it contains an important message for each of
us.
The reason St. Paul finds strength in his limitations is because
he is aware that the Lord will provide the power needed in the
midst of those deficiencies. Paul’s life is God-centered. Living
life that way is exactly the way one can best follow stewardship
as a way of life. Paul prefaces his statement about being weak
and strong by writing the message he has been given by the Lord,
who said to him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is
made perfect in weakness.” May we pray for the strength of
God’s presence, and may we be willing to seek humility to truly
find our strengths.
