The CanticleVolume 34 No. 3 March 2015a monthly publication of St. Anthony Shrine

Spirit descending upon her at the Annunciation. Thesame Scriptures that have described for us the Son ofGod in the visible form of a man have also describedthe Spirit of God in the form of a bird. Somecommentators on ancient religion write of theprimordial nature of religious texts that associatedivinity with animals. They speak of something oldthat carries depth.

The Sermon to the Birds takes place in stages.First, St. Francis and his companions are walkingalong the road. He notices a great number and varietyof birds in a nearby field. Thomas of Celano recordshow he ran toward them. Such an impulsivegesture should have scattered them immediately. Hehad become filled with great joy at seeing them. Theypossessed for him a natural attraction. Oddly enough,they seemed as though waiting for him. They did notmove, even while he walked into their midst. Here tobe found is the first indication of strangeness in thesituation. Their stillness even surprised him. Thiswas not the response he was expecting. Somethingnew, something different was occurring. Allrenditions of this event specifically point out how histunic touched them as he walked into their midst. Thatalone should have definitely frightened them enoughto make them fly away. It did not. While amongthem, he began to speak to them. He humbling askedthem to listen to what he was to say. The gist of hissermon revolved around praising their Creator. Theystill did not fly away. Those friars looking on thoughtthese creatures actually were listening to him. Thefairytale quality of the situation must have overcomeall of them. A man speaking to animals about God.Even today that seems the stuff of imagination only.When finished, he blessed them and gave thempermission to leave. Only then did they finally flyaway. When he arrived back at where the friars werewaiting, they heard him accusing himself ofneglecting these creatures in past preaching missions.As a result, he promised himself he would include allanimals as well as humans whenever again hepreached. In writing the life of the St. Francis, Thomas ofCelano mentioned this incident twice in his firstand last work. Yet he, and other authors mainly seemto stress the notion of power rational mancontrolling irrational creatures. Taming anddomesticating animals who should be wild. Merelyanother chapter describing the dominating impact ofreasoned folk over the dumb beast. It took the moreexpanded vision of St. Bonaventure to add to thisinterpretation another context, one from the Book ofGenesis. In his life of Francis, Bonaventure sees theseanimal incidents as signifying another walk throughthe Garden of Eden. He understands in this man-animal relationship a radical throwback to when that

Franciscana

The Sermon To The Birds Somewhere in the 1960s a movie made itsway out of Hollywood depicting the life of St. Francis.Some short time later, a movie critic gave hisimpressions. He wrote something of the following:Any life of St. Francis of Assisi that does not mentionhis Sermon to the Birds is like a life of AbrahamLincoln that does not mention the Civil War. For me,this remark placed a new prospective on an event inthe life of the Saint that many see more as romanticand idyllic than of major significance. If one looks athis life, one usually identifies some of the following assignificant stages: his time as a prisoner of war, thevoice calling to him to rebuild the Church whilekneeing before the Cross, embracing a leper, meetingwith the Pope who approves his Rule. In light ofexperiences such as these, it may seem out of contextto introduce bird preaching into this series of change-worthy moments. But possibly that movie critiquemay have realized something our eyes have skippedover, something deeper and much more archetypal.

From ancient times and flowing into theworld of St. Francis, birds enjoyed special status. Assky creatures, who have the unique ability of movingup and down, people thought them mediatorsbetween heaven and earth. These particular animalsalone possess the magic of feeling the inner lining ofthe clouds. That unique ability brought upon themthe popular notion of being carriers of the human spirit.They possess the power to fly upward. Christiansartists understandably would usually portray angels,beings considered pure spirit, with bird-like wingsbecause of their traditional role as messengers fromabove. The climax of this association of wingedcreatures with religion might have been reached in theGospels. When Jesus is baptized in the Jordan by Johnthe Baptist, the Gospels tell us he came out of thewater. At that moment, the Holy Spirit descendedupon him. It appeared as a dove as a bird. TheThird Person of the Blessed Trinity appearing in thevisible form of a bird. Whatever respect birds mayhave attained, now moved to a more sublime level.Christian art has echoed that elevation in portrayingthe Virgin Mary with a bird over her head the Holy

Response

Innocence allows the imagination full range.We can imagine anything; because our innocenceperceives all things to be good, all possibility blessed.Innocence is lost when we cease to live in peace andunity with reality and begin to conceive the way toadvance ourselves by any means, ever if it hurts oreven if it kills others. There is no longer universalcommunity; now we say with Jean Paul Sartre,L'enfer, c'est loutrui Others are hell.

Exaggeration? We dislike others, make waron others, assign value to others, lord it over others a lot of negativity is associated with our approach toothers, others on every level. The first recorded crimewas the murder of Abel by Cain. Francis regainedthrough grace some of the capacity to love innocently.He could see others as selves, an ability we call

empathy. Empathy does much to soften our attitudetoward others, making true cooperation possible,working with brothers and sisters, not just with othersrendered circumstantially useful. We can walk intheir shoes.

Francis preached to the birds in innocence. Hesaw a positive relationship as possible and fitting. Wepreach ourselves to others and the scope of ourmessage is the extent we give to possibility, possibilityrecognized in the common creatures life we all share.

To the (even partially) innocent, possibility isunending. The co-existence of apparent opposites isshown forth in modern science. Either/or is againand again resolved by both. The innocent cantransmit an identity that offers no danger and greatpotential for good. Francis is the example parexcellence of this. Where others say no, he says Whynot? He is not afraid. He knows he is clothed ingrace. Referring to our comment last month, we cansay that he does not fear being naked before all Assisi:he is clothed in grace.

Pope Francis is about to deliver a letter on theenvironment. It can only be a call to seek theopenness to innocence that is present in every onewho is touched by grace, who can therefore see thehand of a gracious God in everything. Everything isholy in its mystery, the mystery of our universalinterconnectedness. Surely, like the plains warrior, Ican ask the buffalos permission to fill my need tosurvive. Surely, I can entertain a relationship ofrespect with every created thing, even possiblyhugging a tree.

Yes Francis preached to the birds and theylistened and, in a way, worshiped God. Let us striveto see the hand of God everywhere. Let us neverdisrespect the created universe! Let us always see intothe world around us, which is to say in the age ofcommunication the entire world. The absence ofinnocence is obvious, the presence is in the reality ofthe small voice that was God appearing to Elijah, Godin the word and the Word was God.

We live indeed to enter the quest forinnocence, finding it in ourselves, bringing it out inothers. Evangelization is innocence revealed callingto innocence still hidden, that all might knowourselves and each other as God intended us to knowand be known before we sinned. Let us be about ourFathers business!

first human walked in the Garden with only theanimals as companions. He sees Francis possessingsomething of that primordial innocence that animalsstill recognized. And on the part of the Saint, arecognition of a spiritual bonding he felt for creatures something drawing him back to moments beforethe covenant with Noah. That covenant declaredanimals wild and prey now to the hunters needs.

Preaching to animals allowed Francis anopportunity to shine another understanding upon theWord of God, asking who should be considered afitting audience to whom one should preach? Thosefew minutes spent at the side of the road brought theSaint to a resolution to fill the whole world with theWord of God. He wished to preach it to all creatures,reminding them of their Creator. One might say, hestumbled onto the first signs of a cosmic spirituality:to fill the whole world with the Word of God. Giveear, O heavens, while I speak; let the earth hearken tothe words of my mouth (Deuteronomy 32, 1).

Third Sunday of Lent B

Reading I: Exodus 20:1-17 or 20:1-3, 7-8, 12-17Responsorial Psalm: 19:8, 9, 10, 11Reading II: 1 Corinthians 1:22-25

Gospel: John 2:13-25

Why So Angry?

The Gospel for this Third Sunday ofLent gives us a very surprising pictureof Jesus. The gentle savior abruptlyturns violent. When he sees merchantsselling oxen, sheep and doves in thetemple, sees money changers doingbusiness in Gods house, he erupts intoanger.

Not only is this unlike the Jesus we know, but doesntit violate the workings of the temple? These trades-people were selling animals because living creatureswere needed for burnt offerings. They had to buyanimals somewhere. And they had to get theirmoney changed, since so many of them came fromlands with different currencies. Sounds quitereasonable doesnt it?

Not to Jesus. He shouts, You are desecrating myFathers temple! He grabs some cords and yanksthem into a knot. He whips the vendorsquite aterrible sightthen heaves the carefully sorted coinsinto an unholy mess on the floor and finishes up byhurtling the tables into the chaos.

How in the world does such fury coincide with thesilent, humble Jesus we will see in Holy Week? Atthat time he will barely say a word, even though hisenemies will be violating the Fathers holiest templeof all: Jesus very self.

What is going on here?

Some external reasons for his vehemence are evident.Vendors were allowed only in the courtyard of thetemple, not inside, as they now had positionedthemselves. And perhaps the dishonest practices ofoutdoor market-places had stolen their way into thetemple. The thumb on the scale, the inflated prices,all of that.

There is another, internal reason which is much moreimportant. Jesus knew with blessed certainty whathuman beings were created to be. We are made to befilled with Gods presence, to be beloved by God andto love God in return. We are most ourselves whenwe are not entrapped by riches honor and pride. Weare designed to let go and let God. Jesus must have

Spirituality of the Readings been overwhelmed when he saw merchants winkingat these Godly values, preferring cold cash, andcheating for it at the dead center within the sacredspace. It was all upside down.

Why did he react so very differently during HolyWeek? Why was he silent then? The answer has to dowith personal growth. Jesus had come to understandthe depths of his mission. It was not enough just to

do social actionthats what the templescene wasit was not enough to cure thepeople miraculously, not enough to preachfrom the hillsides. He saw that he mustbecome one with us, join us in our death,must unite with us in terrible hurts fromeach other. Only then could he show howvery close God is.

The temple story does prepare us for HolyWeek after all. It lets us know the insidesof Jesus. Incidentally, it asks us a question.

How willing are you and I to let go of what we thinkis so terribly important to our survival (riches, honor,pride, pleasure) and let Gods life grow up within us?Our answer will determine what each of us willunderstand of Christs passion, death andResurrection.

The contrast this Sunday is great. Jesus hurls himselfagainst the money grubbers, blind to life as they were.His emotion was real and quite impressive. On thecross he would empty himself out. He wouldsurrender everything, including his fury, because heloved God and loved us.

THE FRANCISCAN CHALLENGE

Q & As

Who lives in Holy Name Province?

There are 325 Franciscan Friars in Holy NameProvince serving the people of God in a widevariety of settings colleges, parishes, urbanministry centers and diverse social ministries alongthe East Coast. Today we continue the mission ofSaint Francis to make the Gospel message comealive in our contemporary world. We live in cities,suburbs and rural areas. Our backgrounds arediverse and our ministries are varied; most of usserve in pastoral roles, while others work ineducation, social ministry, administration andmanual trades.

What is the mission of the Franciscan Friars ofHoly Name Province?

The core of Franciscanism is in the living out of theGospel of Jesus Christ within the Church accordingto the rule of life proposed and observed by SaintFrancis of Assisi to preach this message to everycreature. This is our purpose and mission.

Our message is very simple:God loves each of us totally and unconditionally.

What makes the Franciscan Friars different?

The Franciscan Friars have always been thought ofas of the people and with the people. Living incommunity is a core value and often helps theFriars to put things in a more down to earthperspective. The Friars never see themselves asbetter than anyone, and therefore they are notusually judgmental and are very accepting ofeveryone, those who are in the faith communityand those who are not.

All Are Welcome is the usual core of Franciscan hospitality.
