Praedicandi: Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1993 blockbuster <em>Jurassic Park <\/em>is memorable on many levels:<br>For example, it established beyond a reasonable doubt<br>that the director of <em>Jaws<\/em> and <em>ET<\/em> fame<br>was an enduring force to be reckoned with;<br>it also settled any questions about Spielberg<br>as a premier financial investment, since <em>Jurassic Park<\/em><br>was one of the first movies to take in over 1 billion dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the purposes of this homily, however, I find <em>Jurassic Park<\/em> notable<br>because it introduced chaos theory to the public<br>through the self-styled chaotician Ian Malcolm<br>played by Jeff Goldbloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaos theory did not originate in the fertile mind of Stephen Spielberg<br>but rather in the research of the celebrated meteorologist <a href=\"https:\/\/static.gymportalen.dk\/sites\/lru.dk\/files\/lru\/132_kap6_lorenz_artikel_the_butterfly_effect.pdf\">Edward Lorenz<\/a>,<br>revered as the father of chaos theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early 1960\u2019s, Lorenz was trying to understand the<br>chaotic behavior in weather<br>and was having problems creating a model<br>that could accurately predict the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his experiments, he found that the divergence<br>of even 1000<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0of a decimal point<br>would render vastly different results,<br>famously summarized in his 1972 lecture entitled:<br>\u201cPredictability: Does the flap of a butterfly\u2019s wings in Brazil<br>Set off a tornado in Texas?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unpredictable weather patterns only appear to be increasing;<br>by the end of this May, there were\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/disasterphilanthropy.org\/disasters\/2024-us-tornadoes\/\">862 confirmed twisters<\/a>\u00a0in the US,<br>43 of them touching down in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statesman.com\/story\/news\/state\/2024\/05\/02\/texas-tornado-weather-average-number-us-tornadoes-maps-facts-nws-noaa\/73515009007\/\">Texas<\/a>.<br>Seems like butterflies have been unusually active in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to live in ever-shifting Tornado Alley<br>to be concerned about the weather,<br>be that because of an impending vacation, outdoor wedding,<br>or just trying to calculate the best day to cut the lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, one\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net\/documents\/crosstabs_Weather_Forecasts.pdf\">government poll<\/a>\u00a0found that<br>over half of Americans check the local weather<br>at least once a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No wonder WBBM radio with traffic and weather on the 8&#8217;s<br>Is consistently rated<br>as one of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/693611\/popular-radio-stations-chicago\/\">most popular stations<\/a>\u00a0in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Threatening weather and gospel storms<br>with Jesus apparently asleep at the wheel<br>are pointed metaphors for the turbulence and squalls<br>that cloud over our lives\u00a0<br>with too much frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I often listen to Pandora music: stations from Bach to Bowie.<br>Since I have the free version, commercials abound.<br>Recently, I have been surprised by the number of Pandora ads<br>addressing issues of mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are chatty commercials between girlfriends, for example,<br>in which one is lamenting not having a good therapist<br>and the other just happens to know the best website for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there are the constant ads for Dr. Sanjay Gupta<br>and his \u201cchasing life\u201d podcast,<br>recently featuring the author of the <em>NY Times<\/em>\u00a0bestseller:\u00a0<br><em>Maybe You Should Talk to Someone<\/em><br>and co-host of the \u201cDear Therapists Podcast.\u201d<br>Sorry, didn\u2019t even know it existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the title of Gupta\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/5-chasing-life-58674624\/episode\/should-everyone-consider-therapy-to-be-182488636\/\">recent podcast<\/a>?<br>\u201cShould everyone consider therapy to be happier?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to some estimates, almost\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/794027\/mental-health-treatment-counseling-past-year-us-adults\/\">56 million Americans<\/a><br>received mental health treatment or counseling in 2022:\u00a0<br>almost double what it was 20 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are an anxious people, me included.<br>A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychiatry.org\/news-room\/news-releases\/annual-poll-adults-express-increasing-anxiousness\">recent mental health poll<\/a>\u00a0shows that 43% of US adults<br>feel more anxious than we did a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No wonder one of the most successful ad campaigns of all time<br>has been Allstate Insurance\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/culleninsuranceagency.com\/allstates-hilarious-mayhem-commercials-ranked\/\">mayhem<\/a>\u201d commercials<br>effectively feeding into our collective anxieties.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So maybe this is mayhem Sunday<br>with a liturgy that impertinently asks:<br>\u201cWhat\u2019s the weather like in your life?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, more pointedly, wonders,<br>is God asleep in the bow of your boat,<br>and do we too frequently join the disciples in crying out:<br>\u201cDon\u2019t you care that we are perishing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is easy to consider today\u2019s gospel story<br>as one of the more impressive miracles<br>in the Jesus repertoire.<br>Next to raising someone from the dead<br>which Jesus accomplished as a gospel three-peat,<br>rebuking the winds and stilling the seas is pretty impressive.<br>So much so that it has been the subject for world class art,<br>including a painting by no less than Rembrandt himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without in anyway downplaying the miraculous gifts<br>of the Only-begotten,<br>we do get a decidedly different perspective on this story\u00a0<br>if we pivot from rescue to resurrection,<br>and then from miracles to mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it might seem a stretch moving from sea-quelling to resurrection,<br>Mark himself gives hints that he intentionally crafted this<br>as a resurrection tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is well-recognized that Mark draws an unflattering,<br>even abysmal portrayal of the disciples.<br>Time and time again they miss the point,<br>often demonstrating less insight than the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the words of one celebrated scripture scholar:<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/81533B30-A87C-45E8-8BC4-1F080181C9F2#_edn1\"><sup>[I]<\/sup><\/a><br>&#8211;Mark has a unique description of the disciples;<br>&#8211;rather than idealize the first followers of Jesus, He seems to highlight their weakness and failure.<br>&#8211;They often appear confused and baffled; they misunderstand Jesus and recoil before the message of the cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now one could suggest a case of sour grapes here. <br>After all, Mark was never part of the inner circle,<br>so was he just a grumpy non-apostle?<br>On the other hand, as the inventor of the gospel genre,<br>this gifted theologian was probably much craftier than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.religion-online.org\/article\/disciples-on-trial\/\">blogger observes<\/a>,<br>maybe by portraying disciples as blind and inconsistent<br>during Jesus\u2019 earthly ministry,<br>he reveals that their heroic stature and accomplishments<br>\u2013 already known to his readers \u2013\u00a0\u00a0<br>were entirely post-resurrectional developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if such dramatic vocational growth was possible<br>for the consistently inept and bumbling chosen,\u00a0<br>maybe others who heard Mark\u2019s gospel<br>could imagine their own similar evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, there is no explicit story of Jesus rising<br>in the best manuscripts of this first gospel.<br>Instead, as best that can be determined,<br>Mark\u2019s gospel ends with women fleeing the empty tomb,<br>too frightened to say anything to anyone (Mark 16:8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn\u2019t mean that Mark did not believe in the resurrection,<br>but weaves his resurrectional tales into the gospel<br>instead of saving them for the end.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of them is the story of the transfiguration;<br>another is this sacred storm tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I only recognize the Greek language half the time,<br>those who are fluent<br>point out that Mark\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.workingpreacher.org\/commentaries\/revised-common-lectionary\/ordinary-12-2\/commentary-on-mark-435-41-2\">intentionally mislabeled<\/a><br>this largest freshwater lake in Israel as not a lake but a sea,<br>explicitly evoking memories of God\u2019s liberation of Israel<br>as they were guided through the Red Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus is asleep in the boat, a common metaphor for death;<br>he is then awakened \u2026 so he rose!<br>Life and death are at stake in the story<br>as is the fear that marks the women\u2019s experience<br>of the empty tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 94-year-old mother of her dear friend heard<br>that her mother was breathing her last.<br>She rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There she found a fully intubated woman<br>moving her head back and forth in nervous distress.<br>The doctor offered a pad of paper<br>on which she scrawled the word \u201cWater.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doctor asked, \u201cDo you want something to drink?\u201d<br>Instead of a pathetic but certain yes<br>he got an angry shake of the head: no!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They returned the paper to her<br>and with even great effort she wrote:<br>\u201cWater the plants.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She wasn\u2019t looking for a final sip at the end of her life<br>but caring for others who still needed life-giving waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What an amazing image of someone<br>rebuking the storms in their own life,<br>demanding that roiling waters be stilled,<br>understanding that even the turbulent waters of death<br>do not absolve us from hydrating others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So maybe this apparent miracle-<br>probable resurrection story-<br>is actually a missionary imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our personal lives as well as our siblings across the global village<br>are experiencing hurricanes of violence in Gaza,<br>tornadoes of destruction raining down upon\u00a0Ukraine,<br>cyclones of starvation wreaking havoc on\u00a0<br>the Congo, Afghanistan, and Yemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting into the boat we call Christianity<br>is not simply an insurance policy that allows us to wake<br>the sleeping redeemer<br>and trigger the necessary miracle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our baptismal boarding card\u00a0for embarking on\u00a0<br>what ancients called the \u201cBarque of Peter\u201d<br>is not a free boarding pass to a ship of safety<br>in which a sometimes-sleeping redeemer\u00a0<br>will awake to save us from every storm in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather, it is a commission for the baptized themselves to wake up-<br>to rebuke the hurricanes of antisemitism and islamophobia;\u00a0<br>to stand in the bow of the barque of Peter<br>and rebuff the winds of divisiveness and polarization;<br>to assess the storms of racism and homophobia and declare<br>as did our Lord and Savior:<br>\u201cQuiet, be still; quiet, be still.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sometimes-overlooked sidebar in the gospel<br>is that there were other boats in the lake.<br>And, when Jesus rebuked the storm,<br>he didn\u2019t just save his own disciples.<br>He created a calm for unnamed travelers caught in the same storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our baptismal commission is not simply to rebuke the turbulence\u00a0<br>that affects our family and friends and community,<br>but to recognize that there are other boats in this storm<br>and to stand up for stillness and peace for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/paintedprayerbook.com\/2012\/06\/17\/still-in-the-storm\/\">poet<\/a>\u00a0we offer this blessing:<br>For our city<br>our country<br>our world:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cannot claim<br>to still the storm<br>that has seized you,<br>cannot calm<br>the waves that wash<br>through your soul,<br>that break against<br>your fierce and<br>aching heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I will wade<br>into these waters,<br>will stand with you<br>in this storm,<br>will say&nbsp;<em>peace<\/em>&nbsp;to you<br>in the waves,<br><em>peace<\/em>&nbsp;to you<br>in the winds,<br><em>peace<\/em>&nbsp;to you<br>in every moment<br>that finds you still<br>within the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
