by Fr. Edward Foley, Capuchin<\/em><\/p>\n

Among other things,
\nthis wonderful community is celebrated for its hospitality,
\na gift not only to visitors and members of the assembly
\nbut even to presiders
\nfor it allows me to be with you on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Because of my somewhat erratic teaching and travel schedule,
\nthe staff invites me weeks in advance,
\n– like the other great preachers here –
\nto let them know what days we are available
\nand crafts the presiding schedule around our preferences.<\/p>\n

One of the things that I have never done
\nwhen contacted by Skye or Keara or Fr. Ken
\nabout my availability
\nis to consider the lectionary readings on my open dates
\nand allow them to influence my availability.<\/p>\n

While such a consideration probably would not have
\nstopped me from signing up for today,
\nI certainly would have at least balked about being here
\ngiven these very difficult texts.<\/p>\n

Decades ago, I had the privilege of studying
\nwith the celebrated Methodist liturgical scholar James White
\nwho promoted the value of the lectionary
\nwhen lectionary usage was seldom employed
\nby U.S. Protestants preachers
\nwho, instead, would select the biblical passages
\nupon which they would preach.<\/p>\n

Professor White observed that with some regularity
\npreachers would choose innocuous or safe scriptures
\nas the basis for preaching: he called them \u201cuser-friendly texts.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, by contrast, the lectionary is not safe
\nas it assails us week after week with
\nwhat he characterized as \u201cThe sword of God\u2019s word.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments could hardly be truer than for today’s readings,
\none of the toughest amalgams
\nof remonstrations and chastisements scripturally imaginable,
\nincluding Moses’ challenge
\nto the territoriality and jealousy of Joshua
\nin the first reading,
\nJames\u2019s tirade against the rich
\nand jabs against employers
\nin the second reading,
\nand then that gospel from Mark
\nin which inept disciples crash and burn
\nin their attempts to corral the Jesus spirit.<\/p>\n

In response, the Only Begotten uses
\nsome of the most severe and condemnatory language
\nthat punctuates the gospels.
\nMaybe I should have been on vacation this week.
\nBut I\u2019m not, and you\u2019re not \u2026 so let\u2019s make some sense of it all.<\/p>\n

One helpful move for me when broaching the gospel –
\nthe most problematic of all of these texts for me,
\nthough that second reading comes in a close second –
\nis to recognize that the language about
\ndrowning by millstone,
\nhand maiming,
\nfoot amputations,
\nand eye-gouging [what a list!]
\nare exaggerations cast in the form of a proverb.<\/p>\n

Now I usually think about a proverb as something like
\n\u201cabsence makes the heart grow fonder,\u201d or
\n\u201ca chain is only as strong as its weakest link\u201d
\nrather than some threatening language about
\ndisfiguring or mutilating one\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, there are clear literary clues here
\nabout the proverbial and exaggerations.<\/p>\n

The Book of Proverbs has at least 19 verses
\nthat employ the \u201cbetter than\u201d formula
\nwe hear in today\u2019s gospel, such as
\n\u201cbetter is a little righteousness than ill-gotten gain,\u201d (Prov 16:8) or
\n\u201cbeing wise is better than being strong.\u201d (Prov 24:5)<\/p>\n

There is good evidence that Jesus had broad knowledge
\nof the forms and content of the Hebrew Scriptures
\nso it is not unlikely that he could riff upon this form.<\/p>\n

As for the exaggeration part,
\nthose same Hebrew scriptures prohibit self-laceration<\/a>
\nand we are accustomed to St. Paul
\ntalking about the community as a body,
\nabout the disjunct parts of that body,
\nand even occasionally about \u201ccutting off\u201d
\nsomeone from that body if they are a source of discord.<\/p>\n

It might also help to understand
\nthat Mark appears to be addressing
\na division between his own and another Christian community,
\nreminding us that sometimes
\nnot only inter but intra-religious divisions
\nare some of the most savage.<\/p>\n

There is a decidedly untrue story
\nof a man walking across a bridge.
\nWhen he saw a man standing on the edge about to jump
\nhe ran over and said \u201cdon\u2019t jump.\u201d
\nWhen the distraught person asked \u201cwhy not,\u201d
\nthe Good Samaritan said, \u201cthere\u2019s so much to live for.\u201d
\nAnd then he asked, “are you religious or atheist?”
\nAnd the man answered \u201creligious\u201d
\nThe Good Samaritan said, \u201cme too! You Christian or Buddhist?\u201d
\nHe said \u201cChristian\u201d and the Good Samaritan said, \u201cme too!\u201d
\n“Are you Catholic or Protestant?”
\nAnd the answer came back \u201cCatholic\u201d
\nAnd the Good Samaritan said, \u201cme too!\u201d
\nRoman Catholic or Eastern Rite?
\n\u201cRoman Catholic\u201d was the answer with the \u201cme too\u201d echo.
\n“Do you belong to a parish?”
\nAnd the newfound friend said, \u201cYes, St. Formaldehyde\u2019s\u201d
\nwhich got a \u201cWow me too!\u201d response.
\nYou a fan of Pope Francis or Pope Benedict
\nTo which the other said \u201cPope Benedict.\u201d
\nThe Good Samaritan then abruptly turned his back,
\nWalked away and said, \u201cgo ahead and jump!\u201d<\/p>\n

Virtually every metric available today
\nDemonstrates that alienation, intolerance, and polarization
\nAre on the rise
\nin and between religions,
\nin and between cultures,
\nin and between societies,
\nand in and between nations.<\/p>\n

As one indicator, a recent pole documents<\/a>
\nthat in today\u2019s political climate 62% of U.S. Citizens
\ndo not tell the truth about their feelings or beliefs
\nbecause they might offend someone.<\/p>\n

On the darker side, over 50% of those with strong liberal views
\nsupported firing business executives
\nif they personally donated to Trumps\u2019 reelection campaign!
\nA much higher level of intolerance than so-called conservatives. [4]<\/p>\n

And what\u2019s the Jesus response to this growing alienation,
\nwhat one blogger called \u201cenemy-creep\u201d
\nbeyond metaphorical hand removal,
\nmillstone drowning,
\nor self-mangling?<\/p>\n

In the succinctness so typical of the Only-begotten,
\nit\u2019s in a cup of water.
\n\u201cAnyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
\nbecause you belong to Christ,
\namen I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.\u201d<\/p>\n

An evangelical preacher, David Roberts,
\nonce offered a reflection on this Markan text<\/a>
\nrooted in his own question for Jesus.
\nHe characterized his dilemma as either following
\nthe way of the ax or the way of cold water.<\/p>\n

He recounts his faith journey,
\nrecalling that he lived with a Bible in one hand
\nand an ax in the other.<\/p>\n

He was taught to avoid temptation and resist sin and secularity
\nso he axed rock music from his life,
\nhe axed a girlfriend who wouldn\u2019t pray within him,
\nhe axed friendships and even college choices
\nall in the name of avoiding temptation.<\/p>\n

He had whittled, even shrunk his understanding of God
\nwhose power mostly lay in the threat of punishment
\nrather than love and grace.<\/p>\n

Then he turns to this section of Mark\u2019s gospel and comments:<\/p>\n

notice how ridiculously high the bar is when faith is centered in the avoidance of punishment and sin and the pursuit of a perfect life without sin. You\u2019ll have to cut off parts of your body, pluck out your eyes, and disfigure yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Essentially, Jesus is saying if you want a perfect life, the only way you will be able to do that is to incapacitate yourself completely, to go through life so mutilated and so maimed you literally can\u2019t do anything but exist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, notice on the other hand how ridiculously low the bar is when faith is centered in acts of generosity. One cup of cold water. That\u2019s it. One cup is enough for an eternal reward.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last month I traveled internationally for the first time in over 2 years.
\nIt was nerve-wracking with new tracking apps,
\nCOVID tests to get in and out of the country,
\nand limited plane schedules forcing me to travel to Madrid
\nonly through Dallas-Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

My 15-hour transit gave me not only time to read and sleep,
\nbut also watch some videos.
\nWhile I could have watched the entire Harry Potter series again,
\nLord of the Rings, or catch up with the Marvel universe,
\nI opted for animated shorts over action adventures,
\nforeign films over Hollywood franchises,
\nbut especially gravitated towards documentaries.<\/p>\n

The one that caught my attention the most
\nwhich I watched three times over the course of my travels was
\nThe Lonliest Whale: The Search for 52<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The focus is an individual whale of unidentified species
\nwho calls or \u201csings\u201d at the unusual frequency of 52 hz,
\nhigher than other whales following the same migratory patterns
\nlike blue whales from 10-39 hz
\nor fin whales at 20 hz.<\/p>\n

The whale has been detected in many locations since the 1980\u2019s
\nbut always singing out alone, with no detectable response.
\nOver the decades it has sparked international interest
\nand a contention by many
\nthat it is the perfect image of modern-day life,
\nwith so many people singing out alone and no one answering.<\/p>\n

While the Jacque Cousteau-like adventure never spots no. 52,
\nthe film does end with what one critic calls \u201ca rapturous surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert:
\nAt the end of the movie, collaborating scientists report
\nthat sound buoys in the ocean not only detected whale 52 calling
\nalong previously documented migratory paths,
\nbut they reported that its responses were being answered.
\nIt was no longer the loneliest whale in the world.
\nIt had a friend, maybe even a mate.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s gospel the disciples condemn someone
\nin concert with the spirit of Jesus
\nbecause \u201che does not follow us\u201d!
\nThe pronoun is alarming – they did not follow us, rather than
\nthey did not follow YOU –
\ndid not follow the cup-of-water-Christ,
\nwhose generosity is often too much for us.
\nSo the disciples got out the \u201cus\u201d ax.<\/p>\n

The word today helps me reimagine my enemies,
\nmy adversaries,
\nmy political antagonists,
\nmy religious rivals
\nas spiritual and personal no. 52s,
\ncalling out at a frequency I am not calibrated to hear.
\nSo I cut them off from the pod,
\nexcommunicate them from the clan
\nrather than tuning to their frequency
\nwhere I might not only hear the voice of need
\nor isolation, or friendship,
\nbut also hear the voice of God.<\/p>\n

While we’ve been children of God since our conception,
\nit was at the baptismal font that we became followers of Christ,
\nan eternal event that occurred with the pouring
\nof what amounted to a simple cup of water.
\nWe don\u2019t allow axes at baptism.<\/p>\n

And so in this age of so much division and intolerance,
\nwe metaphorically take up that baptismal instrument
\nrecalibrating ourselves to every unaccustomed,
\neven unwelcome, frequency
\ncup of water in hand, as we pray:<\/p>\n

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
\nwhere there is hatred, let me so love;
\nwhere there is injury pardon;
\nwhere there is faith;
\nwhere there is despair, hope;
\nwhere there is darkness, light;
\nwhere there is sadness, joy.<\/p>\n

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
\nto be consoled as to console,
\nto be understood as to understand,
\nto be loved as to love.
\nFor it is in giving that we receive,
\nit is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
\nand it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
