How Jesus Grasped Equality With God
February 11, 2021

A few days ago I realized something pretty astounding about Philippians 2 that I had never seen before.
In my younger days, I always read this passage about how Christ “being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant…” as if God is “up there”, exalted, high above the world and creation, full of power and might and perhaps even wrath mingled with a hint of disgust. But as I’ve started to deconstruct those ideas about who God is what God is like [patterned after what we see in the life and character of Jesus who said “If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father” and “I only do what I see the Father doing”], this verse suddenly hit me a totally different way.

Q. Some of my fondest memories of parenthood include attending, in the 1960s, Mass and a breakfast meeting afterward with my four sons that was sponsored by an organization called the Holy Name Society. It seemed to me an effective way to involve parish families in worship and fellowship. (My boys developed the term “Holy Name Eggs” for the concoction of bacon bits and scrambled eggs that was served.)
Does such an organization still exist; and if not, what caused its demise? Could it and should it be revived? (Minong, Wisconsin)

Q. Catholics are blessed to have the sacrament of reconciliation. But what about other faiths? How do non-Catholics have their sins forgiven? (Honolulu)
A. The Catholic Church has a long history of the confession of sins. In the earliest centuries, confession was actually done in public, the thinking being that when we sin, we damage not only our own friendship with God but our relationships within the community of faith; but around the sixth century Irish monks began hearing confessions one on one, and that practice spread to the church universal.
