Don’t Say Whatever, Say Amen

I’ve been to many weddings recently. Love is in the air. At one wedding, a man came into the church wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. The best man approached him and said, “Dude, you can’t be here like this.” And the friend responded, “Whatever, man.”

In the Gospel, for this Sunday, a wedding guest is not wearing his wedding garment. He’s saying to the whole wedding party, “Whatever.” And I think we can say that so often to God when we fall into sin, when we avoid him in prayer when we are harboring resentment against people, we’re saying to God, “Whatever.” The best way to fight against that is to say amen. What do we do when we go up for holy communion? When the priest says the body of Christ and we say, “Amen,” we are saying yes to Jesus, to everything the Catholic Church teaches, to growing in holiness.
