Edward Foley, Capuchin<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Educators and scientists,<br \/>\nentrepreneurs and parents,<br \/>\ndoctors and spiritual directors,<br \/>\nall recognize the importance<br \/>\nof asking questions,<br \/>\nbut especially of asking the right questions.<\/p>\n<p>The ancient Greeks understood this in spades<br \/>\nand we inherited from them the so-called Socratic method:<br \/>\na style of education rooted in questions<br \/>\nthat prod us into discovering the underlying assumptions<br \/>\nof our positions and beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>This questioning approach is not meant to intimidate<br \/>\nbut to provoke \u201cproductive discomfort\u201d<br \/>\ncoaxing one into increasingly beneficial levels<br \/>\nof honesty and insight.<\/p>\n<p>Some insist that certain explorations<br \/>\nbenefit from specific and sophisticated questions<br \/>\nthat only the specialist can ask.<br \/>\nHowever, there is also general wisdom afoot<br \/>\nthat prizes questions posed by non-experts<br \/>\nwho are happily na\u00efve about what can or cannot be asked.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the na\u00efve question<br \/>\nis a first step towards fresh wisdom<br \/>\nand experts can inadvertently get in the way of that wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to questions about God or Jesus or the Spirit,<br \/>\nwhen it comes to questions about Pentecost or other feasts,<br \/>\nsometimes the experts get in the way.<\/p>\n<p>So in my preparation for this morning\u2019s preaching<br \/>\nI was gifted with an unexpected yet eye-opening conversation<br \/>\nwith an imaginative 9-year-old<br \/>\nabout the meaning of Pentecost.<\/p>\n<p>I was staying with her family and had brought my laptop along<br \/>\ntrying to find a fresh angle on preaching this feast<br \/>\nthat I have preached at least 3 dozen times.<\/p>\n<p>For her birthday a few weeks before<br \/>\nSamantha had gotten a small robotics kit<br \/>\nand was in the process of constructing a mechanical spider.<\/p>\n<p>When she asked me what I was doing<br \/>\nand I told her I was trying to write a sermon for Pentecost.<br \/>\nShe wasn\u2019t sure what that was.<\/p>\n<p>When she asked about it<br \/>\nI told her that it was a special day of thanking God<br \/>\nfor sharing the Spirit of Jesus with us.<\/p>\n<p>When I asked her if she knew about the Holy Spirit,<br \/>\nlike any self-respecting 4th grader in Catholic School,<br \/>\nshe said, \u201cof course.\u201d<br \/>\nShe then went on to explain that the Spirit was God\u2019s breath;<br \/>\nit was like oxygen<br \/>\nand that when we prayed we could breathe in God<br \/>\nthat helped us to be good.<\/p>\n<p>Then, this budding theologian looked at the mechanical spider<br \/>\nshe had named Twitchy in the process of its construction.<br \/>\nShe turned it on and as it awkwardly crawled around<br \/>\nshe said \u201cTwitchy doesn\u2019t have breath.<br \/>\nHe can move but has no oxygen.<br \/>\nHe will never be able to breathe in God.\u201d<br \/>\nToo bad she couldn\u2019t be here this morning to preach!<\/p>\n<p>The advice to \u201cjust breathe\u201d is ubiquitous.<br \/>\nIt is on t-shirts and mugs, placards and greeting cards.<br \/>\nIt is woven into the instruction of everyone from yoga instructors<br \/>\nto emergency room personnel.<br \/>\n\u201cJust breathe\u201d has been the inspiration for everything from<br \/>\nself-help books and videos<br \/>\nto music by Pearle Jam.<\/p>\n<p>The wisdom here is rooted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2010\/12\/06\/131734718\/just-breathe-body-has-a-built-in-stress-reliever\">great science<\/a><br \/>\nthat demonstrates how deep breathing<br \/>\nnot only helps us relax but can positively effect<br \/>\nthe heart, the brain, our digestive and immune systems<br \/>\nand even help people manage pain.<\/p>\n<p>A number of years ago I was preparing to preside at a wedding.<br \/>\nThe couple had been together for a number of years<br \/>\nbut wanted their marriage blessed in the church.<\/p>\n<p>A few months before the wedding<br \/>\nthey discovered they were pregnant<br \/>\nand scheduled a sonogram.<\/p>\n<p>They gave me the results in a sealed envelope<br \/>\nand wanted me to include the gender reveal<br \/>\nas part of the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>As I have never seen a sonogram up close<br \/>\nand had no idea how to interpret one<br \/>\nmy anxiety was even higher than usual.<\/p>\n<p>In the sacristy before the wedding<br \/>\nI needed to open this envelope<br \/>\nand see if I could decipher the results<br \/>\nso that this reveal moment wouldn\u2019t be revealing<br \/>\nhow dumb the presider was.<\/p>\n<p>With a rapidly increasing pulse<br \/>\nI unsealed the envelope which held a single sheet of paper<br \/>\nwith a smiley face and a message that read<br \/>\n\u201cJust Breathe, IT\u2019S A GIRL!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pentecost is ordinarily described<br \/>\nas a feast commemorating the 50th day after the resurrection<br \/>\nwhen God\u2019s spirit descended upon the apostles<br \/>\nand the church was born.<\/p>\n<p>That description is alternately true and problematic.<br \/>\nOn the second Sunday of Easter, the gospel we read from John<br \/>\nreported that on the day of the resurrection itself<br \/>\nJesus appeared to his disciples,<br \/>\nshowed them his hands and feet,<br \/>\nbreathed on them and said, \u201creceive the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it is a well-documented early Christian belief<br \/>\nthat the church was born not on Pentecost<br \/>\nbut on <a href=\"https:\/\/luminousdarkcloud.wordpress.com\/2013\/09\/23\/st-john-chrysostom-on-the-birth-of-the-church-on-the-cross\/\">Good Friday<\/a> when blood and water<br \/>\nflowed from the pierced heart of Christ.<br \/>\nSo what exactly are we celebrating today?<\/p>\n<p>In its Jewish origins, Pentecost was a harvest feast &#8211;<br \/>\nthe harvest of wheat.<br \/>\nEventually, that harvest was given a historical significance<br \/>\nrecalling Moses\u2019 harvesting of the Torah on Mt. Sinai.<\/p>\n<p>In its Christian reformulation,<br \/>\nPentecost became a harvesting of the New Law in Christ<br \/>\nto love God and neighbor as one<br \/>\nand a regifting of Divine Breath, of Holy Oxygen<br \/>\nso that Jesus&#8217; disciples could \u201cbreathe in God and do good\u201d<br \/>\ncould exhale with God\u2019s Spirit and continue Pentecosting.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I was on one of those long flights<br \/>\nthat gave me a few hours to get some writing done<br \/>\nbut then left enough time in the trip<br \/>\nto turn on the flight entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>While the viewing options were extensive<br \/>\nfeature films seldom intrigue me<br \/>\nand instead I am drawn to the documentaries.<br \/>\nThere I stumbled upon a Pentecost movie.<\/p>\n<p>It is called <em>Girl<\/em> <em>Rising<\/em> and narrates the journey<br \/>\nof 9 girls around the globe<br \/>\nstruggling for self-empowerment through education.<\/p>\n<p>The film and the \u201cGirl Rising\u201d movement<br \/>\nwere inspired by the story of Malala Yousafzai,<br \/>\nthe young Pakistani activist for women\u2019s education<br \/>\nwho at 15 was shot in the head for her advocacy,<br \/>\nsurviving to become the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize<br \/>\nand a graduate of Oxford University where she is now a fellow.<\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of Malala,<br \/>\n<em>Girl Rising<\/em> is the remarkable tale of parallel stories<br \/>\nof 9 extraordinary young girls<br \/>\nstruggling for education, liberation, and self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>Like that of Wadley from Haiti<br \/>\nan eager and smart 10-year-old<br \/>\nwho excelled in her studies.<br \/>\nOne day she had successfully recited from memory<br \/>\nthe final speech of the Haitian Leader Toussaint Louverture<br \/>\nwho tried to win independence for the country.<\/p>\n<p>Wadley\u2019s triumph, however, was short-lived<br \/>\nfor that afternoon, after school, at 4:53 p.m.<br \/>\na magnitude 7 earthquake struck Haiti<br \/>\nkilling or injuring half a million people<br \/>\nand affecting the lives of 7 times that number<br \/>\nincluding Wadley<br \/>\nwhose school was destroyed,<br \/>\nwhose mother\u2019s house and business were decimated,<br \/>\nand who now spent her days carrying water<br \/>\nto their corner of a tent city<br \/>\ninstead of being in school.<\/p>\n<p>Then one day, a miracle occurred.<br \/>\nFor on the edge of the tent city<br \/>\na makeshift school arose.<br \/>\nWadley went racing for her books and returned<br \/>\nto sit on a bench eager to learn from her old teacher<br \/>\nbut the teacher would not let her stay<br \/>\nbecause her mother had no money.<\/p>\n<p>She left rejected but the next day<br \/>\nreturned to the tent school<br \/>\ndetermined to stay.<br \/>\nWhen her teacher told her to leave<br \/>\nbecause she could not pay<br \/>\nWadley said over and over again, \u201cno, no, no\u201d<br \/>\nand in the revolutionary spirit of Toussaint Louverture<br \/>\ndeclared \u201cIf you send me away<br \/>\nI will come back every day until I can stay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The teacher relented, a tent-school filled with oxygen<br \/>\na Spirit of Wisdom descended<br \/>\nand Wadley could breathe again.<\/p>\n<p>I never thought of the gift of education as a Pentecost.<br \/>\nI was probably privileged with it too much.<br \/>\nBut for Wadley, and Malala, and other girls&#8217; rising<br \/>\nit was a liberating spirit, a holy oxygen<br \/>\nan inspired buoyancy that allowed them to rise,<br \/>\nto ascend, and in turn to do good.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have to look very far to see deflated spirits,<br \/>\nfolk with shattered dreams,<br \/>\nand children with punctured aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>But as disciples of Jesus<br \/>\ngifted with God\u2019s own spirit at baptism, and again in confirmation<br \/>\nrenewed at every eucharist<br \/>\nand uniquely celebrated on this dynamic feast,<br \/>\nwe are commissioned to inflate, to aerate<br \/>\nand to oxygenate those spirits and dreams and aspirations<br \/>\nso others can do good as well.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, we are anointed to keep Pentecosting<br \/>\nto facilitator new and continuing gusts of God<br \/>\nno matter how modest or unseen,<br \/>\nso that the Holy Spirit can renew the face of the earth.<\/p>\n<p>On my last day with the young theologian Samantha and her family<br \/>\nwe visited a small but lively neighborhood festival.<br \/>\nThere we saw a young girl, about Samantha\u2019s age<br \/>\nholding in front of her a huge pink balloon<br \/>\neasily twice her size.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, a kid whizzed by on his bike<br \/>\nand with some unseen instrument<br \/>\njabbed at the balloon which dramatically exploded.<\/p>\n<p>The girl was at first stunned and then began to cry.<br \/>\nSamantha gave me a \u201cdo something\u201d look<br \/>\nthen took the cash I pulled from my pocket<br \/>\nwalked across the street to the balloon vendor<br \/>\nand bought a duplicate miniature dirigible<br \/>\nwhich she delivered to her new friend:<br \/>\nsmile restored<br \/>\nspirit inflated<br \/>\noxygen rendered<br \/>\nPentecost reenacted.<\/p>\n<p>If the church ever had a \u201cdo something\u201d feast, it is this one<br \/>\na feast prodding us to allow God\u2019s energizing Spirit<br \/>\nto flow through us, together, as God remakes a world<br \/>\nfilled with too many deflated lives and punctured dreams.<\/p>\n<p>And so we invoke the <a href=\"https:\/\/paintedprayerbook.com\/2013\/05\/14\/pentecost-when-we-breathe-together\/\">poet\u2019s blessing<\/a> and pray:<\/p>\n<p>This is the blessing<br \/>\nwe cannot speak<br \/>\nby ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>This is the blessing<br \/>\nwe cannot summon<br \/>\nby our own devices,<br \/>\ncannot shape<br \/>\nto our purpose,<br \/>\ncannot bend<br \/>\nto our will.<\/p>\n<p>This is the blessing<br \/>\nthat comes<br \/>\nwhen we leave behind<br \/>\nour aloneness<br \/>\nwhen we gather<br \/>\ntogether<br \/>\nwhen we turn<br \/>\ntoward one another.<\/p>\n<p>This is the blessing<br \/>\nthat blazes among us<br \/>\nwhen we speak<br \/>\nthe words<br \/>\nstrange to our ears<\/p>\n<p>when we finally listen<br \/>\ninto the chaos<\/p>\n<p>when [at last] we breathe together \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Through Christ our Lord.
