(B), Ed Foley"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><em>by Fr. Edward Foley, Capuchin<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A number of years ago<br \/>\nI ran across a quite short yet interesting list<br \/>\nwhich reminded me that<br \/>\nthings are not always what they seem.<\/p>\n<p>That list noted that<br \/>\na firefly is not a fly \u2013 it\u2019s a beetle;<br \/>\na prairie dog is not a dog \u2013 it\u2019s a rodent;<br \/>\na Douglas fir tree is not a fir \u2013 it\u2019s a pine;<br \/>\na banana tree is not a tree \u2013 it\u2019s an herb;<br \/>\na horned toad is not a toad \u2013 it\u2019s a lizard;<br \/>\nand an English horn is not English and not a horn \u2013<br \/>\nit\u2019s an alto oboe that originated in Silesia.<\/p>\n<p>In that same contradictory vein,<br \/>\nI would like to suggest that the gospel we hear today,<br \/>\nwith echoes in that first reading from Jeremiah,<br \/>\nis not really a miracle or a healing story<br \/>\nbut rather a vocational narrative<br \/>\noffering ancient wisdom<br \/>\nabout the true path to discipleship.<\/p>\n<p>It also is a sharp corrective to those<br \/>\nwho might think they have the discipleship gig<br \/>\ndown pat or securely in hand.<\/p>\n<p>While Mark\u2019s gospel is not always held up<br \/>\nas a great piece of literature,<br \/>\nMark cleverly constructs a telling sequence of events<br \/>\nhere in the middle of his narrative<br \/>\nt<a href=\"https:\/\/liturgy.sluhostedsites.org\/30OrdB102421\/theword_hamm.html\">hat culminates with the healing of the blind man in Jericho.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In order to understand Mark\u2019s literary inventiveness<br \/>\nwe have to reach back to the 8th chapter of Mark<br \/>\nin which the evangelist relates the first tale<br \/>\nof Jesus curing a blind man,<br \/>\nthis time at Bethsaida.<br \/>\nIn that story, Jesus takes the blind man by the hand,<br \/>\nleads to the edge of the village,<br \/>\nputs spittle on his eyes and his hands on his head,<br \/>\nfinally laying his hands on the man\u2019s eyes<br \/>\nand he is cured.<\/p>\n<p>Then Mark takes us on a romp through discipleship<br \/>\nwith Peter\u2019s profession of faith,<br \/>\nfollowed by Peter being rebuked by Jesus<br \/>\nand actually called Satan by the Son of God.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the tale of the disciples<br \/>\narguing amongst themselves about who is the greatest.<\/p>\n<p>Followed by a tale of apostolic outrage<br \/>\nbecause someone outside their circle<br \/>\nwas casting out demons\u2026 what impertinence.<\/p>\n<p>A few verses later there is the presumptuous tale<br \/>\nof two disciples, James and John, the sons Zebedee<br \/>\nactually requesting that Jesus place them<br \/>\nat his right and left hand in glory<br \/>\npresumably enhancing their positions<br \/>\nin the current apostolic pecking order.<\/p>\n<p>Interspersed between these tales<br \/>\nthat caricature the hand-chosen disciples<br \/>\nas spiritual dunderheads, even buffoons,<br \/>\nare multiple instructions from the Lord<br \/>\nabout conditions for following Christ,<br \/>\nan inclusive image of discipleship<br \/>\nand leadership as service not as power or prominence.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s healing story<br \/>\nthat serves as a bookend to this section of the gospel<br \/>\nparalleling the healing of the blind man at Bethsaida<br \/>\nis Mark\u2019s capstone on two chapters of vocational commentary.<\/p>\n<p>Positioned right before Jesus enters Jerusalem<br \/>\non a collision course with suffering and death,<br \/>\nthe evangelist presents what at first glance<br \/>\nlooks like a healing story.<\/p>\n<p>Digging into the text, however,<br \/>\nwe discover that it is really a wisdom tale<br \/>\nabout true discipleship and every vocation in Christ.<br \/>\nThe most obvious clue to the true nature of this tale<br \/>\nlies in the question Jesus asks the blind man:<br \/>\n\u201cWhat do you want me to do for you.\u201d<br \/>\nA question virtually identical<br \/>\nto the one Jesus posed to the Sons of Zebedee<br \/>\nin the previous chapter.<\/p>\n<p>To that prompt, the disciples James and John<br \/>\nrequested privilege, a very high place in God\u2019s reign<br \/>\nbeing seated and Jesus\u2019 right and left in glory.<\/p>\n<p>And what did the blind man want?<br \/>\nHe wanted to see.<\/p>\n<p>In many languages, including English<br \/>\nto see not only indicates a capacity for physical sight<br \/>\nbut the ability to understand, to perceive the truth,<br \/>\nto be enlightened.<\/p>\n<p>When you surround this gospel dialogue<br \/>\nwith the evidence that this blind man<br \/>\nwas unstoppable in shouting at the top of his lungs<br \/>\nfor Jesus to show him mercy,<br \/>\nthat in his blindness Jesus requires<br \/>\nthe almost laughable feat<br \/>\nof the blind man coming to Jesus<br \/>\nrather than the Lord moving to him,<br \/>\nand then that dramatic detail of the man<br \/>\nthrowing off his cloak,<br \/>\nprobably the only thing he owned,<br \/>\nthrowing off his source of protection,<br \/>\nhis source of comfort and warmth,<br \/>\nhis primary worldly possession,<br \/>\nwe begin to \u201csee\u201d that this is the true disciple<br \/>\njumping up and moving toward Jesus.<br \/>\nDivested of his worldly commitments<br \/>\ngifted in God\u2019s mercy<br \/>\nwith the capacity to perceive the Christ<br \/>\nand metaphorically putting chosen disciples to shame<br \/>\nwho, over the past few chapters of Mark,<br \/>\nhave revealed themselves as thoroughly incapable<br \/>\nof perceiving the true nature of Jesus<br \/>\nand his death-defying ministry.<\/p>\n<p>There is a celebrated neuroscientist and expert in perception<br \/>\nby the name of Dr. Beau Lotto.<br \/>\nHis most recent book on his work is entitled<br \/>\n<em>Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently, <\/em>[1]<br \/>\nbut you can get a quick overview<br \/>\nof his disruptive approach to perception<br \/>\nby watching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/beau_lotto_optical_illusions_show_how_we_see\/transcript?language=en\">one of his TED talks.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Through a series of mind-boggling experiments,<br \/>\nLotto demonstrates that<br \/>\nthe brain evolves not to see the world the way it is<br \/>\nbut to see the world in ways that have been useful.<\/p>\n<p>But context changes, life changes, the world changes<br \/>\nand our very plastic brains can help us see the world anew.<br \/>\nBut that is only done by deviating from norms of perception<br \/>\nby stepping into uncertainty,<br \/>\nby practicing active doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Lotto believes that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>doubt with courage and your brain will reward you for it through the new perceptions this process opens up. To question one\u2019s assumptions, especially those that define ourselves, requires knowing that [we] don\u2019t see The reality \u2013 only [our] minds version of reality \u2013 and \u2026 accepting the possibility that someone else might know better. [2]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bartimaeus \u2013 the blind man of Jericho<br \/>\nin begging for mercy,<br \/>\nin wanting to see,<br \/>\nmetaphorically announced that his previous assumptions<br \/>\nabout God,<br \/>\nabout salvation,<br \/>\nand about any messiah<br \/>\nwere now under question,<br \/>\nthrown off like an old cloak<br \/>\nin the quest for new eyes<br \/>\nin the radical experiment, as St. Paul would phrase it,<br \/>\nof \u201cputting on \u2026 clothing oneself in Christ\u201d (Rom 13:14)<\/p>\n<p>When that happens<br \/>\nwe are changed from the inside out,<br \/>\nfree to deviate from societal norms<br \/>\nthat judge people by color, or sexual orientation, or faith<br \/>\nand instead, see them with Christ eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I learned about the <a href=\"https:\/\/decameronproject.org\/mission\/\">Decameron Project<\/a>,<br \/>\ninspired by the mythical tale of 10 young people<br \/>\nwho in the 14th century attempted to escape the plague<br \/>\nby sheltering in a villa outside of Florence<br \/>\nand passing their time by weaving stories and telling tales.<\/p>\n<p>The contemporary Decameron project<br \/>\nemerged in the midst of the current pandemic,<br \/>\nfounded by young people for their peers<br \/>\nand inviting a return to storytelling<br \/>\nas an antidote to oppressive isolation,<br \/>\ndeploying these fresh voices as healing gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Middle Schooler Grace Volz recently crafted a story<br \/>\nentitled <a href=\"https:\/\/decameronproject.org\/stories\/seeing-differently\/\">\u201cSeeing Differently.\u201d<\/a><br \/>\nIn this autobiographical tale,<br \/>\ngrace ponders her incredibly bad eyesight,<br \/>\nnoting that when friends try to put on her glasses<br \/>\nthey inevitably say something like<br \/>\n\u201cwow Grace, you\u2019re really blind!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This short vignette celebrates the gift of glasses,<br \/>\nor what she calls windows.<br \/>\nA story her mother often repeats at her prompting<br \/>\nis about the day she got her first pair of glasses as a child.<br \/>\nMom said, \u201cyour face seemed to light up,<br \/>\nseeing the whole world as I see it,<br \/>\nyou never took them off!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But then this middle schooler muses<br \/>\nabout taking off her glasses from time to time<br \/>\nto see things in a different way.<\/p>\n<p>She writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Not being able to see faces gives me a way to just see their personality first. Just to focus on the most important thing about a person is truly a gift, I don\u2019t get sidetracked by someone\u2019s appearance like their clothes, or their looks, or even their size. Ever since the 2016 election, I realized that I have to fight for what I believe in and hold the people that also care about those issues close to me. I think I had to finally accept others\u2019 differences to stay strong and I couldn\u2019t do that without knowing who they actually are first. Listening, I continue to hear others\u2019 stories of hardships and injustices to better understand and connect with them.<\/p>\n<p>When I put on my glasses I\u2019m able to see what everyone else sees, the person that everyone recognizes. I admire both sides of someone, I connect the dots to their true selves and their appearance. I see who someone really is deep down and I can finally put someone else\u2019s shoes on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder if her middle name is Bartimaeus<br \/>\nor if she is a long-lost relative of the blind man from Jericho.<\/p>\n<p>Like many others, the American Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br \/>\nhas mused on the Bartimaean metaphor.<br \/>\nThe closing stanza of this verse summons us all:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ye that have eyes, yet cannot see,<br \/>\nIn darkness and in misery,<br \/>\nRecall those mighty Voices Three,<br \/>\n&#8220;Jesus, have, mercy now on me!<br \/>\nFear not, arise, and go in peace!<br \/>\nThy faith from blindness gives release!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So may our faith give us relief<br \/>\nfrom the blindness, the prejudice, the judgmentalism<br \/>\nthat clouds our sight<br \/>\nso that we might see through Christ-Eyes<br \/>\nfor our good, and the good of all the world<br \/>\nthrough Christ our Lord.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[1] Beau Lotto, <em>Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently <\/em>(London: Weidenfeld &amp; Nicolson, 2017).<\/p>\n<p>[2] Ibid.,<em>\u00a0<\/em>pp. 11-12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s healing story that serves as a bookend to this section of the gospel paralleling the healing of the blind man at Bethsaida is Mark\u2019s capstone on two chapters of vocational commentary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":57939,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3118,3294],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ars-celebrandi-new-ws","category-ars-praedicandi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ars Praedicandi: 30th Sunday in O.T.
