<span style="font-size: large;">Christmas Homily by Abbot Michael Liebl OSB</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
The Christmas narrative offers a wealth of material for reflection. In his book Peculiar Treasures, Frederick Buechner, wrote:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“She struck the angel Gabriel as hardly old enough to have a child at all, let alone this child, but he’d been entrusted with a message to give her and he gave it. He told her what the child was to be named, and who he was to be, and something about the mystery that was to come upon her. ‘You mustn’t be afraid, Mary,’ he said. And as he said it, he only hoped she wouldn’t notice that beneath the great, golden wings, he himself was trembling with fear to think that the whole future of creation hung now on the answer of a girl.”</blockquote>

</tbody></table>
The entire future of salvation hangs on the answer of a girl. Freedom of choice, the exercise of free will, is God’s policy when it comes to interaction with human beings. God never forces a “yes” from anyone, never tricks anyone into a response of love, never make obedience the only choice. It has been so from the beginning of time. God allowed Adam and Eve freedom. God allows us freedom. Contrast the portrait of Gabriel’s invitation to Mary with the sad narrative that has dominated our news in the last months, women trapped and coerced by those with power and prestige. The hashtag me too campaign reminds us that rank and privilege are easily abused. God does not force. God does not dominate. No promise of advancement. No promise of prominence. Only an opportunity for great love, and the concomitant risk of great suffering. Are you willing to help bring salvation into the world?<br />
<br />
Mary stands in a long line of courageous individuals who have responded to God’s invitation by saying, “Here I am.” That answer is not always an easy one to give. Noah said, “Here I am,” in the face of ridicule when God told him to build an ark so that the world could be saved from the flood. He didn’t have to say yes. Abram said, “Here I am,” when God told him to gather up his wife, his family and all his belongs and go sight unseen to a land far away. He didn’t have to say yes. Moses stood before the burning bush and said “Here I am” when the voice in that bush said deliver my people from slavery in Egypt. He didn’t have to say yes. When called in the night, Samuel as instructed by his teacher Eli at the temple in Shiloh said, “Here I am,”. He became a prophet, the one to anoint David, the shepherd boy who would become the the king of Israel. He could have chosen to ignore that voice. And now Mary says, “Here I am,” and she becomes the mother of a child, a descendant of David, who is to be the new and eternal king of Israel. And the name of Mary’s baby was Jesus. In Hebrew, his name is Yeshua, which means 'God' liberates.” But we knew that. God brings freedom. We always have the freedom to say yes or no.<br />
<br />
Because we are given freedom, out first impulse at any opportunity is to ask: “What’s in it for me? How does this help me? What do I get out of it? What good will it bring me?”. But in asking those questions all we have done is made ourselves slaves to self-importance and to self-serving desires. What God offers Mary, God offers to us. We can be free for the adventure that God has in store for us. We can be free to embark upon acts of care and compassion both large and small. We can be free to do the work God has designed us, uniquely, to do. What beauty and delight in that freedom.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
At Christmas we celebrate the arrival of our savior some two thousand years ago. But the work of salvation does not end with Christ’s death and resurrection. As we constitute the body of Christ, God needs each and everyone one of us uniquely to continue the effort begun when his only begotten son was born in a manger. And though we may not see it, I would imagine that even now those angels that are singing glory to God in the highest are trembling with fear and anticipation to see how we will respond when we are asked to help bring God’s son into the world. Will we shuffle away from the invitation unwilling, too tired, too self-absorbed, too fearful? Or will we willing like those whose praises are sung in the Scripture to step forward and say, “Lord, here I am.”?<br />

In the midst of finals week an afternoon was devoted to moving library books, computers, and science equipment, across the street to the new David "DJ" Sokol Learning for Life Building. It was amazing to see how much 245 teenage boys can move in a very short time. The remaining library books and computers were moved in 13 minutes.<br />

Omaha Archbishop George Lucas joined the Mount Michael Community in the celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Archbishop reminded us that God has special plans for each of us and is on our side. We just need to say yes like Mary to God's plan.<br />

A group of Mount Michael students spent Thursday
night at Vespers and dinner with the Monks. Later in the night, there was a
bonfire on the bluff followed by a reflection about prayer and group discussion.
The late night ended with prayer in the chapel. After joining monks for prayer
and Mass Friday morning, Abbot Michael gave the students a talk about his
calling to be a priest. For the grand adventure: Mr. Connealy and Mr. Hotovy
took the students to the remote fringes of Fontenelle Forest where students
climbed “Mount Doom” and navigated the wilds. Lastly, the expedition departed
for the Holy Family Shrine where students spent silent time reflecting and
prayer. The stay at the Shrine concluded with a group discussion about
resolutions to become the best-version-of-yourself and to pray daily. <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/1oDMHpd60I4vXmm42" target="_blank">More Photos</a><o:p></o:p></div>

Every October when the seniors leave campus for their annual retreat, the underclassmen spend the morning taking their PSAT tests and after lunch burn off pent up energy with an hour of community service work, followed by Dodge Ball in the gym.<br />
<br />
This year the community service projects included putting the window air conditioners away, cleaning the buses, cleaning athletic storage areas, setting up for the District Cross Country Meet, cutting down scrub brush and small trees and many other projects. <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/uQ2HHoqx1UdsDgju2" target="_blank">More Photos </a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193712018626223023.post-75267295711207757712017-10-11T10:51:00.000-05:002017-11-29T10:51:33.869-06:00Senior Ropes Retreat at Boys Town<div style="text-align: center;">

THE PROGRAM<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (From the company website)</span><br />
Shakespeare On Tour introduces thousands of students to Shakespeare during the months of September and October, when we take Shakespeare's work into the classrooms and communities of Nebraska.<br />
<br />
THE PLAY<br />
A community is divided, wracked with fear and rocked by violence. Romeo desperately struggles to retain what is left of art, beauty, and love. Juliet, clinging to her family for protection and strength, has fallen victim to their blind hatred. Despite the ongoing civil destruction, it is the internal conflict between head and heart that holds this world hostage. Presented through a heightened theatrical lens, this Romeo and Juliet seeks to lay bare the means of production, transforming characters before the audience and stripping away the disguise of live performance. This world must change or be forever broken.<br />
