Karl Rahner made the statement that there would soon come a time when each of us will either be a mystic or a non-believer. At one level, this statement refers to anyone who wants to have faith today, as they will need to be much more inner-directed than in previous generations. Fr. Rolheiser asks, “Why?” Because up until our present generation in the secularized world, by and large, the culture helped carry the faith. We lived in cultures (often immigrant and ethnic subcultures) within which faith and religion were part of the very fabric of life. Faith and church were embedded in sociology. It took a strong, deviant action not to go to church on Sunday. Today, as we know, the opposite is true. It takes a strong, inner-anchored act to go to church on Sunday. We live in a moral and ecclesial diaspora and experience a special loneliness that comes with that. We have few outside supports for our faith. The culture no longer carries the faith and the church. Simply put, we knew how to be believers and churchgoers when we were inside communities that helped carry that for us, communities within which most everyone seemed to believe, went to church, and had the same set of moral values. Many of us now live in situations where to believe in God and church is to find ourselves without the support of the majority and, at times, without the support even of those closest to us, spouse, family, friends, and colleagues. That’s one thing that Rahner refers to when he says we will be either mystics or non-believers. On Easter Sunday morning, Mary Magdala goes out searching for Jesus. She finds him in a garden, but she doesn’t recognize him. Jesus turns to her and asks her: “What are you looking for?” Mary replies that she is looking for the dead Jesus’s body and that if he could give her any information as to where that body is, she needed to know. And Jesus simply says: “Mary.” He pronounces her name in love. She falls at his feet. In essence, that is the whole gospel: What are we ultimately looking for? What is the end of all desire? What drives us out into gardens to search for love? The desire to hear God pronounce our names in love.
