Joel 1:13-15; 2:1-2

Call to repentance and prayer
------------------------------------------

[13] Gird on sackcloth and lament, O priests,
wail, O ministers of the altar.
Go in, pass the night in sackcloth,
O ministers of my God!
Because cereal offerings and drink offering
are withheld from the house of your God.

[14] Sanctify a fast,
call a solemn assembly.
Gather the elders
and all the inhabitants of the land
to the house of the Lord your God;
and cry to the Lord.

[15] Alas for the day!
For the day of the Lord is near,
and as destruction from the Almighty it comes,

The day of the Lord is coming “after darkness”

(이하 생략)

Commentary:

Joel 1:13-20. In the form of a poem, the prophet appeals for public conversion and
penance to entreat God to take pity on the people and the land. “Go in, pass the
night in sackcloth” (v. 13) – the same language as is used to describe the pen-
ance done by David when his son was fatally ill (cf. 2 Sam 12:16), and, in
general, the sign of deep mourning (cf. 1 Kings 21:27, when King Ahab is warned
of what will befall him). Judith 4:8ff mentions priests, people and even livestock
wearing sackcloth. “Sanctify a fast” (v. 14), that is, declare a holy fast, a peniten-
tial rite to move God to mercy; other Old Testament references to this are to be
found in 1 Kings 21:9 and Jonah 3:5-9.

The basic purpose of these acts of penance is given in v. 15 with a play on words:
the “day of the Lord” is near; it comes as destruction, as a scourge, shod, from the
Almighty, Shaddai, Verses 16-18 show that the people admit that their punish-
ment is deserved; this prepares the way for the prophet’s prayer that follows. In
it, Joel cries to the Lord on behalf of the community (v. 19) – and not only he:
“even the flocks of sheep” sigh to God in a mute prayer.

It is significant that the priests are the first to be called to penance (v. 13). they
should be the first to lament – before calling others (elders, all the inhabitants) to
do so (v. 14). This is something embedded in the tradition of the Bible and of the
Church – the idea that ministers should set a good example: “Those who have
been called to wait on the table of the Lord should be praiseworthy, shining
examples of righteousness, unmarked by any stain or taint of sinfulness. They
should live upright lives, as salt of the earth, for their own sake and for the sake
of others, giving good example by their behaviour and deeds, as the light of the
world. they should be mindful of the warning made by the divine teacher Christ
Jesus to his apostles and disciples, and all of their successors, priests and
teachers: You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its
saltness be restored? (Mt 5:13)” (St John Capistrano, Mirror of the Clergy, 1, in
the Divine Office, Readings, 23 October).
