Edward Foley, Capuchin<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it has not been in the headlines much in the U.S.,<br>European news outlets have been awash this past week<br>with stories about tech giant Google<br>and its fight at the European Court of Justice<br>regarding the \u201cright to be forgotten\u201d law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five years ago the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU<br>ruled that individuals had a right to force organizations<br>such as Google<br>to delist webpages containing sensitive information about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Italian journalist, Alessandro Biancardi, lost his job<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/news\/world\/one-brother-stabbed-the-other-the-journalist-who-wrote-about-it-paid-a-price-2319125.html\">because of this rule<\/a>.<br>In 2008 he reported a true story of one brother assaulting another.<br>In 2010 one of the brothers demanded he take the story down<br>because he insisted it was destroying his reputation.<br>The journalist refused \u2013 citing the public\u2019s right to know.<br>Eventually the journalist lost his case in court<br>and then lost his job \u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European court decreed that people had a right<br>to be forgotten \u2026 for their deeds to be expunged.<br>But recently, in what was considered a major win by Google,<br>the same European court decreed<br>that such a right must be observed only within Europe.<br>So you might be forgotten for a small town incident in Italy,<br>but outside of Europe<br>the rest of the world still has a right to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virtually all of us have done things<br>that we would like forgotten,<br>deleted from web pages and published reports,<br>but more often from diaries and family memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public figures, in particular, might like to invoke<br>this \u201cright to be forgotten rubric\u201d \u2013 <br>whether that is a Canadian prime minister<br>hoping his country will forget<br>his wearing dark face 20 years ago<br>in the midst of his current reelection campaign,<br>or a U.S. president<br>maybe wanting to forget a phone call to the Ukraine<br>in the midst of impeachment proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason I reference this current struggle<br>around privacy and public memory<br>is that, while courts struggle for the legal compromise<br>allowing individual deeds to be forgotten,<br>no earthly court has the right to decide<br>that any individual can be forgotten, or erased \u2013<br>an issue that drives us to the heart of today\u2019s liturgy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to skim today\u2019s lections<br>and prematurely assume that they are a condemnation of<br>or least a warning to the rich<br>admonishing them that since they are enjoying <br>the good life now,<br>there is little assurance that they will enjoy such in the hereafter.<br>that often is how today\u2019s parable of the rich man is read,<br>bolstered by its coupling with that reading from Amos<br>chiding the rich on their beds of ivory.<br>But there are multiple problems with such a facile reading<br>of the lectionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First is that this is a parable of extreme exaggeration, <br>one guy lounging around in the ancient equivalent of <em>haute couture<\/em> \u2013 <br>even his pajamas are apparently from Armani \u2013 <br>dining on exotic caviars and the best champagnes, <br>while Lazarus is in rags befriended only by dogs,<br>so we have a hyperbole alert here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, notice that Lazarus is never portrayed <br>asking for alms and being denied.<br>He never asks, like the lepers, or the blind man<br>who called out to Jesus for aid.<br>He just waits at the gate.<br>How is the rich man supposed to be charitable<br>if he is never asked?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also there is little evidence<br>that Lazarus was good or just or upright.<br>All we know is that he is dirt poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, there is little evidence that the rich guy was <br>a tyrant, a snob or a sociopath.<br>To the contrary, at the end of the gospel<br>he shows strong familial concern for his brothers.<br>So is this some kind of perverse morality tale<br>in which the rich who make it in this life<br>will suffer in the next,<br>and the poor who suffer in this life<br>will rejoice in the next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the reading from Amos, when scrutinized,<br>does not chide the rich for their wealth,<br>but for their social and religious complacency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And just to complicate it further,<br>what does it mean to be rich?<br>According to multiple internet tools<br>like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalrichlist.com\/\">global rich list<\/a>,<br>if you make $20,000 a year in the U.S.,<br>you are in the top 4% of the richest people<br>in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So are these texts just slamming the rich,<br>or is there something more here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As my Google analogy suggests<br>I do think there is something more going on here.<br>And it is not that the rich guy wasn\u2019t terribly thoughtful,<br>but rather that he effectively erased Lazarus from this life,<br>erasing his agency,<br>his personhood,<br>his human dignity \u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fictional dialogue between the rich man and Abraham<br>indicates that the big wig even knew Lazarus\u2019 name.<br>But while he could acknowledge him in the afterlife,<br>it does not appear he paid him any heed in this life,<br>and effectively annulled his personhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paying attention is a useful thing.<br>For example, it can save you from being arrested,<br>or at least embarrassed by your child,<br>as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fatherly.com\/love-money\/funny-parenting-stories-kids-always-paying-attention\/\">reported by the Dad<\/a> who was driving his 6-year old to school<br>when he \u201crolled\u201d through a stop sign.<br>A cop was lying in wait, and the Dad was pulled over.<br>When the officer came to the car<br>noticing the child in the back seat, he asked,<br>\u201cYou on the way to school?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the father could mount his vigorous defense,<br>the six year old piped up,<br>\u201cHe got pulled over last week for the same thing,\u201d<br>\u201che\u2019s not very good at stopping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officer abandoned the driver and went to the back window<br>and asked, \u201cSo he does this a lot?\u201d<br>\u201cYes,\u201d she said, \u201che never stops at stop signs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The officer instructed my daughter to continue her vigilance,<br>making sure that Dad never misses a stop sign again.<br>Dad was released with a warning<br>on the condition that he listens to his new backseat driver!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paying attention can save you from being stopped by a cop<br>or embarrassed by your daughter.<br>But it is also a necessary gateway into beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Author John Geddes understands that<br>When, in his haunting novel <br><em>A Familiar Rain <\/em>(Chinook Publishing, 2011)<em>,<\/em><br>he has one of his characters remark,<br><em>Poetry is paying attention to life<\/em><br><em>When all the world seems asleep to its beauties and truths.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few poets of our own era consistently payed attention <br>as well as Mary Oliver.<br>Her 2009 collection entitled <em>Red Bird<\/em><br>contains a particularly stirring example of this gift,<br>and the poem \u201cSometimes\u201d is rendered even more poignant<br>by her death earlier this year.<br>She writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>Something came up<br> out of the dark.<br> It wasn\u2019t anything I had ever seen before.<br> It wasn\u2019t an animal<br> or a flower,<br> unless it was both.<\/em><br><br><em>Something came up out of the water,<br> a head the size of a cat<br> but muddy and without ears.<br> I don\u2019t know what God is.<br> I don\u2019t know what death is.<\/em><br><br><em>But I believe they have between them<br> some fervent and necessary arrangement.<\/em><br><br><em>Sometime<br> melancholy leaves me breathless\u2026<\/em><br><br><em>Water from the heavens! Electricity from the source!<br> Both of them mad to create something!<\/em><br><em>The lighting brighter than any flower.<\/em><br><em>The thunder without a drowsy bone in its body.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She continues with the stanza:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>Instructions for living a life:<br> Pay attention.<br> Be astonished.<br> Tell about it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paying attention is an essential ingredient<br>for authoring staggeringly beautiful poetry<br>or other forms of art,<br>but also for authoring a life of integrity.<br><br>The Spanish philosopher <em>Jos\u00e9 Ortega<\/em>y<em>Gasset<\/em><br><em>once mused: <\/em><br><em>\u201cTell me to what you pay attention<\/em><br><em>and I will tell you who you are.\u201d<\/em><br><em>[Man and Crisis, tr. Mildred Adams (New York-London: 1962), 94]<\/em><br><br>In the same vein,<br>paying attention is the beginning of theologizing,<br>what many practical theologians call \u201cattending.\u201d<br>The great German theologian Karl Rahner talked about this<br>as the \u201cmysticism of daily living.\u201d<br>Paying attention is critical to a Christ-centered spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As some of you know, I have recently moved out of the city<br>And am living in a southwest suburb with a sibling.<br>It is quite a change from living in Hyde Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the changes is that I now live with a 95 lbs. puppy,<br>half Great Dane and half American Bulldog.<br>Some mornings it is my responsibility to take him <br>for his morning walk,<br>equipped with sturdy leash, tender lead head-halter,<br>and shock collar.<br>Sometimes on this walk I listen to a daily synopsis<br>of the <em>New York Times,<\/em><br>sometimes I listen to music on my antiquated I-touch.<br>The other day I had the I-touch play random songs <br>and ended up listening to a lot of Christmas carols.<br>While initially a little jarring, it made me pay attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often at Christmas I stress that the mystery of incarnation<br>is not that Jesus was simply born,<br>but that God wed Godself with humanity,<br>and that mystery continues<br>in every child \u2026 in every person \u2026 in every Lazarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rich man erased Lazarus,<br>which from an incarnational perspective means<br>that the rich man erased God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If every human being was created in God\u2019s image,<br>and if the mystery of Incarnation is God\u2019s self-wedding<br>with Jesus and every other human being,<br>then erasing anyone means blotting out the image of God \u2013 <br>\u2026 not even Google has that power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rich man has blotted out the image of God named Lazarus,<br>and parabolically God has erased even the name<br>of this rich man<br>and cast his memory into darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Jesuit story teller and mystic Anthony de Mello <br>often told the tale entitled \u201cRecognition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cAs the Master grew old and infirm,<br>the disciples begged him not to die.<br>Said the Master, \u2018If I did not go, how would you ever see?\u2019<br>\u2018What is it we fail to see when you are with us?\u2019 they asked.<br>But the Master would not say.<br><br>When the moment of his death was near, they said,<br>\u2018What is it we will see when you are gone?\u2019<br>With a twinkle in his eye, the Master said,<br>\u2018All I did [while I was alive] was sit on the riverbank <br>handing out river water.<br>After I\u2019m gone, I trust you will notice the river.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is common to say that Jesus died <br>to save us from our sins.<br>But it seems just as true<br>that Jesus died so that we might begin<br>to look past the Jesus of history<br>and notice the Lazarus\u2019 among us<br>of every color, of every gender,<br>of every age, of every social location,<br>and thus allow the mystery of incarnation <br>to both endure and flourish,<br>through Christ our Lord.
