[Editor’s note: The author preaches in a setting in which the Ascension is transferred from Thursday, therefore the following rule applies: When the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated the following Sunday, the second reading and Gospel from the Seventh Sunday of Easter may be read on the Sixth Sunday of Easter.]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ever took a writing class,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or studied American literature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you were probably exposed to the prose of Ernest Hemingway.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of the greatest figures of 20th<\/sup> century literature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    his writing style rejected the popular trends of the day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with authors piling one adjective on top of the other<\/p>\n\n\n\n

adverbs tripping over each other<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and sentences clogged with colons and semicolons.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instead, probably because he had learned his trade as a reporter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           his prose was lean, unadorned and direct<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           with very few modifiers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

scattered through short, muscular sentences. 


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This approach was already on full display in his first novel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           The Sun Also Rises,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

           <\/em>a semi-autobiographical work<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that treated some of his favorite themes, such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           love and death, guts and masculinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of the book\u2019s most riveting scenes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    all those themes are brought together<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    in the young bullfighter Pedro Romero\u2019s dance with death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that passage as well, Hemingway gives us an enduring image<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of his definition of guts as \u201cgrace under pressure.\u201d[1]<\/a>


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Gospel of John comes to us somewhat unexpectedly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    as it is actually assigned to next Sunday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but because Ascension is transferred there from Thursday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it gets bumped into our laps today. 


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Johannine writer is not what you could classify<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           as Hemmingwayesque in virtually any way.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consider, for example, that today\u2019s six verses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Are just a sliver of his Last Supper discourse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           That spans 5 of the gospel\u2019s 21 chapters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           And ranges over 155 verses.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Not exactly Hemingway\u2019s punchy style.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then there is all the metaphorical language, the poetic illusions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           a soaring style that earned the Johannine writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           the emblem not of an ox or a lion but that of an eagle.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           John writes with feet family planted in midair<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           While Ernest has them firmly planted on mother earth.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one aspect of this gospel passage, however,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That does find resonance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with the proverbial Old Man \u201cof\u201d the Sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    and that is the display of grace under pressure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           of unadulterated guts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           that Jesus exhibits in the closing moments<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           of his last will and testament.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember, Jesus\u2019 instruction occurs while his betrayal is underway<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           hours before his arrest, scourging, show trials,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and public execution as a criminal of the state.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in that context does Jesus whine? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complain about life being unfair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denigrate his political opponents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Blame his fate on his homelife and upbringing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shame God for abandoning him?


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No \u2026 not even close \u2026 instead he prays<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    but not only for his inner circle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    or card-carrying members of the Jesus organization<\/p>\n\n\n\n

not for those willing to make a deal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    or eager to join him in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake Judaism Great Again\u201d movement.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, he prays for the whole of humanity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    for a world that, then as now,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    was beset with relentless violence and oppression<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    bullying and exclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    discrimination and injustice.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he prays that we might be one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Impossible \u2026 delusional,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  maybe the result of all those Passover cups of wine.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Hemmingway was a voracious reader<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    and had a good working knowledge of French<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There is no evidence that he ever read the 1943 publication<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Le Petit Prince<\/em> \u2013 the Little Prince<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Though I think he would have liked it. 


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even though the writing of Saint-Exupery does not indulge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           in Hemingway\u2019s penchant for violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           or his sometimes toxic masculinity


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           it does deal with fundamental human dilemmas such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           crises of identity and relationality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  dilemmas explored literally on a cosmic level.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the little prince does not enter a bull ring<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           to engage in the matador\u2019s dance of death<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He does engage in the dangerous dance of taming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Not with a bull .. but with a formidably wise fox.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might remember when the little prince meets the fox<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    the prince, who is lonely and unhappy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    asks the fox to play with him \u2026 but the fox cannot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           because he is not tame \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when the prince asks the meaning of taming \u2013 the fox says:

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is an act too often neglected \u2026 It means to establish ties\u2026. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world\u2026. It will be as if the sun came to shine on my life \u2026. One only understands the things that one tames,\u201d said the fox \u2026. \u201cif you want a friend, tame me.\u201d<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the Johannine Jesus in today\u2019s gospel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    reveals other-worldly grace under pressure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    maybe even what Hemingway might consider gospel guts



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    because for three years he had been engaged<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           in the taming dance with followers and disciples<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           supporters and critics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    and in the process not only were some of them tamed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Magdalene and Lazarus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Peter and the sons of thunder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But I believe, in the process, that Jesus himself was tamed as well.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           He was tamed by Samaritan widows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           and the kid with the loaves and fishes;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           by the widow of Naim and the lepers in the borderland;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  fishermen and adulterers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  tax collectors and centurions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  But first by family and friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Adolescent parents and a clan of cousins.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a word, Jesus was tamed by the humanity he assumed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           which is why he could call us friends not slaves,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           why he could stand firm embracing the world<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  when the same world was about to crash in on him,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           why he could be tamed unto death,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           so that we too might break out of our own silos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  our own tribes, our own prejudices<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  to pray and work together,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  so that all might be one.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been pondering both this gospel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    and the wisdom of the fox in the little prince<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    in preparing to celebrate this 50th<\/sup> anniversary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           of my presbyteral ordination.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thinking back on inexplicable privilege<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           I relish parents who tamed me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           A mother in her piety and grace<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Who always prayed for unity in home and world;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           A father who reminded me the day I was ordained<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  That there was only one father in our family<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  And it wasn\u2019t me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           A cloud of relatives who mentored and nurtured me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Grandparents and God parents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  And the cousins who were my first and finest peers.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then there is the new matriarch who lets me live with her<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and cut her lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           My baby brother Terrence Patrick Kevin,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  the most Irish of us all.


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           I revel in the Capuchin community in this 59th<\/sup> year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  of my journeying with the boys in brown.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Gratitude floods so many memories of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  congregations and assemblies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  classmates and students<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  mentors and guides<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         from Minnesota to Paris<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         from Hyde Park to Oak Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Who have tutored me in the art of taming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  And lavished undeserved friendship upon me.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But especially in this place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My heart brims with gratitude<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           to the community of Old St. Pat\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           which has invited me into this bastion of care and prayer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Over the past 18 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You have tamed me with your welcome and engagement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           with invitations to preside at your weddings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Baptize your children<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           Anoint your sick and bury your dead. 



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most of all, from Sunday to Sunday,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You tame me with your full-throated responsiveness in prayer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

           and thundering engagement in song,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

your spontaneous affirmation of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the anniversaries and achievements among us,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

your volunteerism in worship and in works of justice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

your radical inclusivity and shocking hospitality.



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your thoughtful presence and remarkable participation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

each time I am here you invite me to be my best self<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something I would guess you do also do to each other<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As together we are tamed by God\u2019s untamable spirit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To embody the priestly prayer of the only begotten<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And continue his work, that all may be one.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as the poet writes, who can say if you or I
Have been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better
And because I know you
Because I serve you, because I love you,
I have been tamed for good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I pray you have been as well
Through Christ our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
