Edward Foley, Capuchin<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While there is a lovely alliteration between the two words,<br \/>\nat least for most urban Catholics in the U.S.<br \/>\nthe connection between fishing and faith<br \/>\nis someplace between tenuous and non-existent.<\/p>\n<p>For those who study the topic [1]<br \/>\nmembers of U.S. society will more usually identify<br \/>\nencounters with works of art, experiences of music,<br \/>\nmajestic scenes in nature, or brushes with beauty<br \/>\nas more of a spiritual trigger than adventures in fishing.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially true for folk from a place like Chicago.<br \/>\nFor even though we are located aside<br \/>\na beautiful body of water,<br \/>\nunlike places such as Indonesia or ancient Palestine<br \/>\nwhere fishing is or was a dominant form of commerce,<br \/>\nlake Michigan is more a tourist attraction than<br \/>\nan anchor for any fishing industry.<\/p>\n<p>Our social and geographic location<br \/>\nmay be an added challenge<br \/>\nwhen it comes to grasping something<br \/>\nof the metaphorical, spiritual, even theological import<br \/>\nof fishing across the gospels<br \/>\nappearing again in today\u2019s readings.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s pericope from John<br \/>\nat the very end of the last gospel<br \/>\nwe hear of Peter and his buddies off fishing:<br \/>\nan appropriate bookend to the first time we encounter<br \/>\nSimon Peter and his brother<br \/>\nin the opening chapter of the first gospel, Mark (1:17)<br \/>\nwhere they are fishing the same sea, and<br \/>\nJesus first commissions them as fishers of people.<\/p>\n<p>The language of fish and fishermen<br \/>\nappears dozens of times in the New Testament.<br \/>\nSometimes it occurs in a kingdom parable (Matt 13:47)<br \/>\nand other times, in an instruction on prayer (Luke 11:11).<br \/>\nThen there are those famous miracle stories<br \/>\nin which Jesus feeds thousands<br \/>\nwith five loaves and two fish (Mark 6:41).<\/p>\n<p>Thus, it is not surprising that<br \/>\none of the earliest Christian symbols was the fish<br \/>\nwhose spelling in Greek (ichthus)<br \/>\nwas an acronym for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.<\/p>\n<p>There is also credible theorizing that early Christian eucharist<br \/>\ncould have included fish along with<br \/>\nor even instead of bread [2]<br \/>\nas the staple food paired with the cup of wine.<\/p>\n<p>While I have virtually no personal experience fishing,<br \/>\nI have eaten my fair share of someone\u2019s catch<br \/>\nat innumerable fish fries<br \/>\nand I do remember with great fondness<br \/>\nlistening to Norman McLean\u2019s gorgeous short story<br \/>\n\u201cA River Runs Through It\u201d [3]<br \/>\n&#8211; you may know the 1992 movie version<br \/>\nwith Tom Skerritt and Brad Pitt<br \/>\nthat muses on family life and fly fishing,<br \/>\non lost brothers and the power of water,<br \/>\nabout self-reflection and the mission to care,<br \/>\nand about life and death.<\/p>\n<p>As the narrator of this semi-autobiographical story,<br \/>\nMcLean acknowledges that in his family at least,<br \/>\nlargely because of the influence of his father<br \/>\n&#8211; both preacher and fisherman &#8211;<br \/>\nthere was no clear distinction between<br \/>\nfly fishing and religion.<\/p>\n<p>In often luminous language<br \/>\nHe admits that he is haunted by water<br \/>\nand in one magical passage confesses that while fishing<br \/>\nand watching heat mirages dance on the river,<br \/>\neventually the watcher joins the river<br \/>\nand then there was only one of us;<br \/>\nhe believes it was the river.<\/p>\n<p>While ruminating upon McLean\u2019s evocative language<br \/>\nI ran across some materials<br \/>\nthat tried to take some of the mystery out of fishing,<br \/>\nexplaining that fishing at certain depths<br \/>\nincreases the potential for catching fish<br \/>\nand that understanding the local ecosystem,<br \/>\ntemperature fluctuation and insect patterns<br \/>\nare also important guides for becoming a more effective angler.<br \/>\nCritical is knowing what lure to use.<\/p>\n<p>There is actually an associate professor in biology<br \/>\nJimmy Liao, at the University of Florida,<br \/>\nwho studies the science behind fishing lures,<br \/>\nespecially those masquerading as small fish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired2fish.com\/fish-biology\/a-scientific-look-into-realistic-fishing-lures\">Professor Liao has designed a series of experiments<\/a><br \/>\nemploying insights from the field of biomechanics<br \/>\nto determine how much a lure needs to mimic<br \/>\nthe swimming patterns of real fish<br \/>\nin order to be effective.<\/p>\n<p>One notable detail is how many segments a fish lure needs:<br \/>\nhow many individual moving parts are required<br \/>\nto convince a trout that it actually is a small minnow<br \/>\nand is worth swallowing.<\/p>\n<p>His experiments reveal that a lure that is a single segment<br \/>\nonly has about a 5% chance of attracting a predator.<br \/>\nBut a two-segment lure increases your chances to 60%,<br \/>\na three-segment lure jumps to 80%<br \/>\nand a five-segment lure demonstrates 90% efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Liao concedes, however, that biomechanics<br \/>\nonly gets you so far in mimicking the real thing<br \/>\nand, in the end, admits that nature\u2019s designs are<br \/>\nso much more sophisticated than anything we can engineer.<\/p>\n<p>Playing on the fishing imagery deeply embedded in the gospels,<br \/>\nthe great North African theologian Tertullian<br \/>\n\u2013 who himself lived on the Mediterranean coast<br \/>\na few centuries after Jesus \u2013<br \/>\nseemed quite taken by the image of Christ as the big fish,<br \/>\nthe Ichthus,<br \/>\ncontending that we Christians are little fishes<br \/>\nlike baptized lures, some of whom<br \/>\nhave a 5% capacity to mimic the divine Ichthus<br \/>\nothers a somewhat higher capacity,<br \/>\nthough none of us<br \/>\nwill ever be perfectly able to mimic the divine nature.<\/p>\n<p>To paraphrase Prof. Liao:<br \/>\nGod\u2019s design is so much more sophisticated<br \/>\nthan anything we can engineer.<\/p>\n<p>That is clear in the incarnate Only-Begotten<br \/>\nwho, unlike some artificial bait,<br \/>\ndeceptive designed to lure followers<br \/>\ninto their own demise<br \/>\nfor the sake of some deity\u2019s own self-aggrandizement<\/p>\n<p>Jesus did not simply mimic humanity on the outside<br \/>\nappearing as a convincing divine illusion.<br \/>\nInstead, he embraced our humanity unto death<br \/>\nand perfected it unto eternal life.<\/p>\n<p>In so doing, Jesus subverts this holy fishing experiment.<br \/>\nHe becomes God\u2019s holy enticement<br \/>\nfor catching the elusive love of his own creatures<br \/>\nand in the process allows us to land the Christ<br \/>\nand the kingdom promised to us<br \/>\nas the most prized of catches.<\/p>\n<p>In a word, Jesus was eternity\u2019s perfect lure<br \/>\nwhom Peter and his followers eventually fell for<br \/>\nhook, line, and sinker.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, Jesus could call others to be fishers of people,<br \/>\nto be lovers of enemies,<br \/>\nto be forgivers of sinners,<br \/>\nand to be advocates for the marginalized and rejected<br \/>\nbecause of what this Palestinian peasant was about,<br \/>\nin his unpretentious care,<br \/>\nhis unvarnished honesty,<br \/>\nand his unobstructed vision of Justice.<\/p>\n<p>Tertullian was right; Christ is the eternal Ichthus, the great fish<br \/>\nand we are the minnows and guppies, a few of us are trouts.<br \/>\nSometimes, when we\u2019re in a bad mood we can be swordfish<br \/>\nor even, God forbid, marauding sharks.<\/p>\n<p>But all of us are reminded in this Easter season that<br \/>\nas Tertullian theologizes,<br \/>\nlike the great Ichthus, we too are born in the water,<br \/>\nin that life-giving baptismal pool<br \/>\nover which God\u2019s brooding spirit dwells<br \/>\nand from which we emerged as new creations.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know if you ever pondered it,<br \/>\nbut there is no evidence in the New Testament<br \/>\nthat any of Jesus\u2019 closest disciples, the 12, apostles<br \/>\nwere ever baptized.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, in the narrative of today\u2019s gospel<br \/>\nPeter can only get to Jesus,<br \/>\nto his eucharistic meal on the beach,<br \/>\nto his trinity of forgiveness,<br \/>\nto his mission of feeding lambs and sheep<br \/>\nonly by diving into the water,<br \/>\ninto that natural baptismal pool called<br \/>\nthe Sea of Tiberias,<br \/>\nand emerging on the other side<br \/>\na new creation<br \/>\nshriven, anointed and fed<br \/>\nlike the neophytes here and around the globe<br \/>\nwho similarly emerged from the easter vigil<br \/>\nshriven, anointed and fed.<\/p>\n<p>McClean\u2019s \u201cA River Runs Through it\u201d<br \/>\nends with heart-wrenching sadness and soaring hope.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it becomes clear that this gorgeous literary venture<br \/>\nis not about fishing but about family.<br \/>\nIt is not about a single body of water<br \/>\nbut the liquidity of our own lives.<\/p>\n<p>It is not about landing the big one,<br \/>\nbut about faithfully and relentlessly<br \/>\ndropping that lure into the depths<br \/>\nnot knowing what we will catch<br \/>\nbut yet committed to our baptismal commission:<br \/>\nto become fishers of women, of children, of men:<br \/>\nanglers for the lost,<br \/>\nlures for the lonely,<br \/>\ntrawlers for the troubled,<br \/>\nand bait for the broken.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the narrator of \u201cA River Runs through it\u201d<br \/>\ncould not save the younger brother he loved.<br \/>\nAs he stands alone knee deep<br \/>\nin the waters they had fished so often,<br \/>\nfly casting in faith that he might land one more trout<br \/>\nhe muses on our shared vocation, thinking:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yet even in the loneliness of the canyon, I knew there were others like me who had brothers they did not understand but wanted to help. We are probably those referred to as \u201cour brothers\u2019 keepers,\u201d possessed of one of the oldest and possibly one of the most futile and certainly one of the most haunting of instincts. It will not let us go. [4]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this holy season of renewal<br \/>\nwhen we are yet confronted by war and loss<br \/>\nfamily divisions and political ineptitude<br \/>\nwe too are haunted by the great commission<br \/>\nof the Christ Ichthus, the eternal lure of God<br \/>\nto mimic his holy mission in all of our imperfections<br \/>\nto multiple the loaves and fishes,<br \/>\nto lower our nets when the catch seems unlikely,<br \/>\nand seek out the lost sibling<br \/>\nwilling to embrace that most haunting of instincts<br \/>\nto be keeper of sister and brother,<br \/>\nwhat Jesus called fishers of men<br \/>\nthrough Christ our Lord.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[1] See, for example, Nancy Ammerman, <em>Sacred Stories, Spiritual Tribes: Finding Religion in Everyday Life <\/em>(New York: Oxford University Press, 2014).<\/p>\n<p>[2] See Andrew McGowan, \u201cRethinking Eucharistic Origins,\u201d <em>Pacifica <\/em>23 (2010) 173-191.<\/p>\n<p>[3] Norman Maclean, <em>A River Runs Through it and Other Stories<\/em> (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1976).<\/p>\n<p>[4] Ibid., 45.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a word, Jesus was eternity\u2019s perfect lure whom Peter and his followers eventually fell for hook, line, and sinker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":59926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3294],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ars-praedicandi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
