rohr creation and incarnation

December 6 rohr daily meditation introduction.

We Franciscans believe that the first coming of “the Christ” is in creation itself. The Franciscan philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus (1266‒1308), whom I studied for four years, wrote that “God first wills Christ as his supreme work.” [1] Creation could not have been empty of Christ for billions of years. In other words, God’s “first idea” and priority was to make the Godself both visible and shareable. The word used in the Bible for this idea was Logos (from Greek philosophy), which I would translate as the “Blueprint” or Primordial Pattern for reality. The whole of creation is the beloved community, the partner in the divine dance. Everything is the “child of God”—not only Jesus. There are no exceptions. When you think of it, what else could anything be? All creation must in some way carry the divine DNA of the Creator.

At Christmastime, most people think about the birth of the baby Jesus as the “coming” of Christ. Yet Advent reveals more; it is about preparing ourselves for the Christ to come in personal, contracted, and visible form. Only a perfect, trusting individual could allow such greatness to focus and communicate through a human body. Modeling the entire divine pattern of incarnation, Mary had to trust littleness or, better said, bigness becoming littleness! Go imagine.

Mary could trustingly carry Jesus, because she knew how to receive spiritual gifts—in fact, the spiritual gift. She offers a profound image of how generativity and fruitfulness break into this world. We have much to learn from her.

First, we learn that we can’t manage, maneuver, or manipulate spiritual energy. It is a matter of letting go and receiving what is given freely. It is the gradual emptying of our attachment to our small “separate” self so that there is room for new conception and new birth. There must be some displacement before there can be any new “replacement”! Mary is the archetype of such self-displacement and surrender.

There is no mention of any moral worthiness, achievement, or preparedness in Mary, only humble trust and surrender. She gives us all, therefore, a bottomless hope in our own little state. If we ourselves try to “manage” God or manufacture our own worthiness by any performance principle whatsoever, we will never give birth to the Christ, but only more of ourselves.

Whenever the material and the spiritual coincide, there is the Christ. Jesus fully accepted that human-divine identity and walked it into history. Henceforth, the Christ “comes again” whenever we are able to see the spiritual and the material coexisting, in any moment, in any event, and in any person. All matter reveals Spirit, and Spirit needs matter to “show itself”! What I like to call the “Forever Coming of Christ” happens whenever and wherever we allow this to be utterly true for us. This is how God continually breaks into history.

• Original recipe that inspired this one had nutritional yeast which I did not have.  I made up for its absence with adding garlic powder and liquid smoke.  I increased the nutritional value of the tapenade by adding spinach. I always feel good to add this super food in everything.  Christmas is coming and if you are thinking of adding a tapenade to your board here is an easy one.  Serve with on melba toast or crostini.

Mushroom Pate

Ingredients:

• 8 oz any type mushroom, sliced
• 1/4 tsp dry sage or 1 fresh sage leaf
• pinch of pepper
• 1 tbsp rice cooking wine (salt added so do not need to add salt) or sherry wine
• 1/8 tsp liquid smoke
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1/2 loosely packed cup spinach (optional)

Instructions:

• Air fry the mushroom for 15 minute at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Place the air fried mushroom and the rest of the ingredients in a small blender and blend till well mixed and grainy in texture which I prefer to pasty. It is your choice.

• 
  

 

Easy main dish or appetizer. The jackfruit easily absorbs the equally easy fabulous magic sauce. You can customize this recipe with your choice of toppings. The squeeze of lime when serving enhances the flavor of the dish and is highly recommended. 

Jackfruit Lettuce Wraps

• 1 can green jackfruit in brine, drained and chopped
• 1 recipe Magic Sauce (recipe here and printed below)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsp water (optional)
• 1 head of lettuce. leaves separated to form cups
• Suggested Toppings: cucumber slices,  julienned carrots, jalapeno peppers from a jar, sliced green onions, cilantro
• lime wedges

Dissolve the magic sauce in 1.2 cup water.  In a skillet cook the jackfruit in the magic sauce and water at medium heat till the jackfruit absorbs the flavor of the sauce and most of liquid evaporates.  You can also add a cornstarch slurry made from 1 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsp water at the end of cooking to thicken the mixture.


Cool the mixture. 


Place lettuce pieces on a large platter and top with the jackfruit and toppings  


Squeeze lime juice when serving.

Magic Sauce

• 2 tbsp miso
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1/2 to 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• a few drops of sriracha sauce or pinch crushed red pepper. 

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. 

 

This is a versatile sauce you can use with vegetables, tofu, jackfruit, sweet potatoes, mushrooms.  Instead of maple syrup you can use date syrup or brown sugar. .

Magic Sauce

• 2 tbsp miso
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1/2 to 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• a few drops of sriracha sauce or pinch crushed red pepper

Stuffed eggplant is a favorite dish for breakfast or even dinner in the Philippines. I have posted a fusion version of this popular Filipino breakfast fare in a past blogpost  This time I am using vegan tofu mixture to stuff baby eggplants.

Tofu scramble is a dish I love for breakfast.  I have a past recipe wherein I stuffed it into a burrito tortilla.  This time vegetables are the ones stuffed. How healthy is that.

I am a fan of baby eggplants.  I was introduced to them when I was shopping at the Monroeville Farmers Market.  I actually have a post in this blog of air fried baby eggplants which is to die for. These vegetables are so cute and versatile. They are easier to work with than the large American or even slim Asian eggplants.

You can also use the tofu mixture to stuff sweet red peppers. They are so sweet I eat them raw with gusto.  Now I can make them more delicious stuffed with this vegan tofu mixture.

Air Fryer Vegan Omelet Stuffed Eggplant 

Inspired by this site.

Ingredients:

• 3 baby eggplants, microwaved, unpeeled
• 1 medium sweet potato, microwaved and then peeled
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup mashed firm tofu
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vegetable broth
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 2 tbsp water

Cut the baby eggplant in half  without cutting all the way through into a butterfly shape leaving the stem on as much as possible. Place in a microwave safe container and bake till soft.  Set aside.

Combine the other ingredients in a bowl and mash them till they are well mixed. 

Place enough of the tofu mixture into the fleshy side of the eggplant.

Air fry the eggplant stuffed side up at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

Note: You can use the tofu mixture to stuff sweet red peppers. Cut the peppers in half, remove seeds and stuff with tofu mixture.  Air fry same way as the eggplant.

The Sound of the Falling Rain

 

I welcomed it

in the wee hour of

the morning. 

I must be in a 

good mood.

I did not see it as a metaphor

for tears washing

away pain. 

Instead it evoked 

childhood memories.

Not specific visions.

Just that feeling

I got then in the

Philippines.

Of rain pelting

on the galvanized

iron roof.

I did not see the

floods it had brought

Instead just my

expectations that

I could play while

it showed off how

strong it was.

The force of it as it

fell on my shivering

skin.

Does ones mood dictate

everything?

I am not overthinking

it. Whatever. 

I hear the joy of sunshine

in the falling rain.

One word. Grateful.

Early mornings call for something comforting yet easy to prepare. With the help of the Instant Pot,  this omelette comes together perfectly everytime. Paired up with toast or doughnut or cinnamon rolls, this will tide you over till lunch.  Oh don't forget to have a side of fruit and coffee and you are good to go.

You do need 15 minutes cooking time at high pressure but it is worth it.  I tried a shorter time period but the omelette did not get done. Watch tv or do some meditation while waiting.

You can use any vegetable or meat you like and any type of cheese. The amount you use for the ingredients is up to you.

Instant Pot Omelette

• 1/2 red pepper, chopped 
• 1 stalk green onion, chopped
• 1/2 Italian sausage, chopped
• 1 pepperjack cheese slice, whole or cut into pieces
• 5-6 eggs
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste

 

Add 1/2 cup water into the Instant Pot.

Place a trivet on top. 

Grease a baking pan or casserole dish that fits the instant pot.

Place the dish on top of a trivet in the Instant Pot.

Place the red pepper, onions, sausage and cheese in the dish.

Break eggs into a bowl, add seasonings then whisk.  

Pour the seasoned whisked eggs into the dish that has the vegetables.

Cook at high pressure for 15 minutes, then 5 minute natural release and then quick release.

2.  Practice:  A Prayer of gratitude

Source:  https://cac.org/introduction-to-christian-mysticism-weekly-summary-2019-07-20/

Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful, and praising God until we ourselves are an act of praise. Mature prayer always breaks into gratitude. This week’s practice is a body prayer from Beverly Lanzetta. Adapt the movements to your body’s needs so that you’re comfortable. Focus simply on the feeling of gratitude and, as you are able, do the following as you read through the stanzas: bow, kneel, lie down, rise, put your hands over your heart, place your hands together, bow your head, and open your arms wide.

Holy Earth, Holy Cosmos,

I bow before you

With my whole being.

Holy Creatures, Holy Nature,

I kneel upon the earth

In honor and thanksgiving

Of your blessed bounty.

Holy Waters, Holy Mountains,

I lay my body on your temple

In gratefulness for nurturing

My tender soul.

Holy Passion, Holy Longing,

I rise up before you

A devotee of truth,

Following wherever you lead me.

Holy Silence, Holy Solitude,

I place my hands over my heart

Breathing in serenity,

Breathing out your peace.

Holy Sorrow, Holy Suffering,

I close my hands in prayer

May I bear every wound

With compassion and nonharm.

Holy Humility, Holy Emptiness,

I bow my head before you

I have become open,

For your All to shine in my soul.

Holy Freedom, Holy Rejoicing,

I open my heart to the world

Offering myself to this day,

In joyfulness and gratitude.

Amen. [1]

what am i thankful for

 

that my heart's too full

to count them all. let me just

enjoy this joy. thanks.

Dark Night

 

Tragedies  define 

us not but transforms us. Our choice   

Our journey with Him. 

i wonder why

 

just thankful that i am not anxious

during this wee hour in the morning

could it be all the upbeat thank you etc songs

i have been playing trying them out for zoom prayer meetings 

or could it be i am done shopping for the thanksgiving dinner

except i need still vegetable broth and chickpeas Aldi ran out of.

not sure why. 

what did i eat or did not eat that triggered this good mood

the veggie pizza or the divine chocolate covered marshmallow?

is it because i am getting used to using google meet

and the osv ccd website 

could it be watching  my past third grade class video of their year long work

satisfaction unexpected but happifying

is this why God gave us memory neurons

or could it be hormonal glands turned not mean

or nebby

not sure but i will take it while it lasts

it is early morn and i have twelve or so more hours to live life

as best i can good happy mood or not.

but thank you lord while i am ahead.

Reverence for Death and Dying Let It Be

As heaven meets earth
I stood in awe. Soaking it
in. His presence felt.

Note:  I am trying to make sense of the shocking death of our friend Julie.  I came  back to this  proverb stated in the haiku above for consolation and clarity.  Still.I felt disbelief but acceptance is growing.  At the same time I am in awe at the presence of God as tears fell reminding me I must allow Julie to take the first step in a new beautiful chapter in her life. I need to let her say hello to Him.  It is time.   Our journey here on earth is cyclical.  Birth, death and birth again.  Let it be.

Brother David Steindl-Rast, an elderly Benedictine monk, has been described as a “Zen Christian” and “The Gratefulness Guru.”  Although he is Catholic, his work is of relevance to everyone, no matter what your religion, and even if you have no religion.  Everyone needs to practice gratefulness, especially now.  I am attaching a link to a beautiful meditation on gratefulness by Brother David.  It only takes about five minutes, and I encourage you to take the time, as it is well worth it.  You can find more at gratefulness.org.  Blessings to you all.

3.  Sharing.  

I want to share what Monica wrote in her email below.

A group we have offered for the patients here at TSH is based on the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.  The idea of the book and the group is that if you count your blessings instead of your troubles, you are better equipped to deal with your troubles.  There was a song written by Irvin Berlin for the 1954 classic film White Christmas entitled “Count Your Blessings.” The gist of the song is that when you can’t sleep because of your worries, don’t count sheep (a common practice at the time) but rather count your blessings.  Berlin reported that he based the song on advice given to him by his psychiatrist when he complained of insomnia.

There is such wisdom to such a practice.  John Colbert wrote an article earlier this year entitled, “Gratitude in a Time of Coronavirus:  How Giving Thanks Builds Resilience.”  In it, he stated, “Being grateful highlights the things and people you have in your life, instead of the things you don’t have.  When you aren’t thinking about what you’re losing, your brain is less likely to feel in a state of threat and you’ll be more positive, focused and able to tackle challenges that come your way.”  Rose Zonetti, in her article entitled “The Dynamic Interplay of Resilience and Aliveness” stated, “While gratefulness helps us cultivate resilience, drawing on our resilience expands our embrace of life, which in turn makes us more grateful.” 

We really need to be resilient to work at Torrance (or anywhere else, for that matter) at this time.  Because of the continuing nature of the Coronavirus, its ebbs and flows, we never know what we will face when we arrive at work in the morning.  Will we be on lockdown?  Will we wear full PPE?  Will our patients be allowed to leave the wards?  Will ancillary staff be allowed on the wards?  Those of you who are parents of school-aged children face a whole separate set of questions.  Will there be school today?  Will my child be safe?  What if they are dismissed early, and I am here at TSH?  Those of you with family in hospitals or nursing homes face even more questions.  Will I be allowed in to see my loved one?  What measures are being taken to protect them?  What if there is an outbreak there?   No matter what our circumstances are, these days we have many questions, and, depending upon the answers, we may have to change our plans on a moment’s notice.  We need to be resilient in order to do so.

I love orange marmalade. Yes even on my pizza. It is perfect to satisfy my cravings for something sweet and savory just like when I woke up for breakfast the other day

I used Ruk's Orange Habanero Marmalade but a plain one can be used too especially if you or a family member are not fond of heat from the habanero. Ruk's does not use preservatives nor corn syrup and its products can be obtained at the Farmer's Markets around the Monroeville or Murrysville PA area or online.

I also used vegan seitan pepperoni called veggeroni I purchased from Honest Pastures long ago that has been sitting in my fridge for ages. This pepperoni has just the right texture and flavor, and not strongly spiced.

One can top the pizza with any vegetables you like.  I went for black olives, red pepper, green onions and cilantro. I used store bought personal sized pizza dough from Giant Eagle which luckily barely fitted in my air fryer.

As I mentioned previously, I love having this for breakfast when I am craving something sweet and savory but it is good anytime of the day. Move over tomato sauce, pesto or cheese toppings.  Orange Marmalade has arrived.

Air Fryer Orange Marmalade  Vegan Pepperoni Pizza

Inspired by this site. 

• 1 personal sized pizza dough that fits in your air fryer
• 2  tbsp orange marmalade 
• 5 olives any kind, halved
• 1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
• 1 stalk green onion, chopped
• 1 inch seitan pepperoni, sliced
• cilantro leaves, optional

Spread the marmalade on top of the pizza dough.  Distribute the olives, red pepper, green onions on top.  Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 or more minutes.   Add the pepperoni slices on top at last 3 minutes.

Top with cilantro leaves if you like.

 

One day I wanted to eat a comforting stew but I did not want to cut any vegetables. My pantry came in handy. And so did my Instant Pot.  I also cooked rice in my rice cooker at the same time.  Then after a short time later I ate happily ever after. 

Pantry Friendly Instant Pot Vegan Stew

• 1 - 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 -15 oz can sweet peas, drained and rinsed
• 1 - 15 oz can mixed vegetables, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup from 1- can black olives, drained and rinsed
• 1 large piece of roasted red pepper in a jar, chopped
• 4 pieces dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small piece chipotle pepper from a can, chopped
• 1 tbsp dry onion flakes
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup catsup
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup water

Add all the ingredients in the Instant Pot and cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes then quick release.

Serve over rice.

This stew is even better the next day.

Deafening Sound of Silence

 

Deafening sound of silence.

Ethereal. Reverent.

The fulness in nothingness.

In the void one finds Him,

oneself, and ones identity. 

Overwhelmingly eerie

surprisingly profound. 

Utterly confusing yet

awesomely enlightening. 

Who am I question answered

You are nothing yet everything. 

Fallen Leaves- So it Goes

 

Life changes like leaves.

Cycle fulfilled. From birth to

death and birth again.
