Sweet Scripture

The second lesson in Morning Prayer today (2 Corinthians 14-3:6) is a good example of what I call "sweet Scripture". Notice the vibrant images which St. Paul uses in writing to his beloved church in Corinth
with such obvious tenderness and love:  

"But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads in every place the fragrance that comes from knowing him. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not peddlers of God's word like so many; but in Christ we speak as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God and standing in his presence. Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Surely we do not need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you, do we? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all; and you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

The most "triumphal procession" I can remember takes me back to the old days of our annual parish Corpus Christi processions at St. Patrick's, Troy, OH. All us school children were decked out in our best: the girls in white dresses, the boys in dark suits, with ties (!), each carrying full bouquets of snap-dragons, roses, carnations, etc. We were followed by the vested deanery priests who preceded the Blessed Sacrament in the gold monstrance, carried by the golden-coped celebrant walking under a canopy borne by four Knights of Columbus, with plumed hats and shiny swords, and assisted by a gold-vested deacon and subdeacon. In front of them walked a server whose incense-filled thurible poured forth clouds of sweet-smelling smoke. Talk about fragrance and aroma! We paraded around the whole perimeter of the side aisles, then back up the middle aisle to our pews, the altar party continuing on into the sanctuary.

By our lives, Paul says, for good or ill, you and I are "the aroma of Christ to God" and to one another, either a life-giving or death-dealing "fragrance". He intimates that if we constantly live in God's presence, we'll take on what some in the past used to refer to, sometimes seriously, sometimes in jest, as "the odor of sanctity". For Paul it bears a deeper meaning: that you and I are "persons of sincerity...persons sent from God". In spreading the Good News, the fragrant, life-giving Word embodied in Jesus, Paul says, we're not "peddlers of God's word like so many". Peddlers of the Word are interested in one thing: promoting themselves and their own "infallible"version of salvation, and making money on it in the process. Tune in to almost any of the current so-called TV evangelists, and you'll get the idea.

The other image St. Paul employs is that of his hearers being his "letter, written on our hearts". The heart, the seat of love, is where Paul holds his beloved Corinthians, even with all the good and not-so-good traits which he accords to them in his first Letter. Holding them in his heart, he prays that this "letter", written not in ink but in the living Spirit who brings us, through our confession of Jesus as Lord, "into love and harmony with God, with ourselves, with our neighbors, and with all of creation", as the Book of Common Prayer puts it, may become visible and read by all in the lives which you and I lead.

Paul's final reminder is that this is all possible, not by anything we can do of ourselves, but through God's competence alone, empowering us to be "ministers of a new covenant": a covenant of self-giving love, a covenant not of the confining letter but of the living Spirit.

Mary, Lent & The Paschal Mystery

He'd just finished a long teaching session.

She'd been sitting quietly toward the back, taking in all he'd said.

A grandmotherly type. She waited till the others had dispersed.

Walking up to him, smiling, she took his face in her hands and said: "Yeshua, blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that nursed you!!

His warm hand lifted and grasped hers on his cheek, as he smiled and said: "Ah, but rather blessed are those who hear Yahweh's word and keep it."

His mind, at that moment, wandered back several years, to a day when he'd talked with his mother, Miriam, as she worked in the kitchen. The kind of quiet conversation with his mom in which a young boy delights.

He'd asked all sorts of questions: the kind which young boys ask when important issues and things that don't make sense come to their minds, in no particular order.

His mother had paused as he asked how he'd come to be, how he'd been born to her and Joseph, and why Joseph was his "stepfather".

With a far-away look in her eyes Miriam spoke softly of that day, many years ago when she was a young girl. She and Joseph has just been betrothed, married, for all practical purposes, though she hadn't yet gone to live in his house.

That particular day she was on her way to the well to draw water, when she suddenly became aware of a Presence. It was both like a dream, yet like it was really happening.

Out of the Presence came silent words which seemed to be directed to someone else. She must've misunderstood: "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you."

She knew that she was a good Jewish girl; Anna and Jehoiakim had raised her such.

But what she was hearing was language for someone special, someone very close to Yahweh: not for someone as ordinary as she.

She'd tried not to seem alarmed, though she was, as the Presence conveyed to her that she would soon become pregnant, immediately, in fact; that she would bear a son, and that his name would be Yeshua. "How nice," she remembered thinking momentarily. "Yeshua, 'he saves'". A lot of boys whom she knew had that name.

Suddenly the message began to register with full impact. All this talk of a great son, and thrones, and never-ending kingdoms began to confuse and truly frighten her.

"How can this be, since my betrothal hasn't even been consummated?" she'd exclaimed. "I'll be stoned if anyone finds out that I'm pregnant!"

As Miriam told her son the story, she'd paused briefly, sitting very quietly, then continued:

The Presence had spoken of the Spirit and the Most High's power overshadowing her, and even as the word came to her she'd felt in her body that it had been done. Something was different, something was new.

"The child to be born will be called holy: the Son of God."

Trying to grasp the reality of this moment, she'd heard further words about her cousin, Elizabeth, also being with child, and all this she verified when she'd visited Elizabeth shortly thereafter.

The words had kept ringing in her ears all through the days of her pregnancy: "For with Yahweh nothing is impossible."

She'd then related to Yeshua how in that strange and sudden moment, it had all begun to make sense despite her misgivings and uncertainty.

From somewhere deep within her being she'd summoned up the courage to say aloud what she was feeling: "I am Yahweh's handmaid; let it be to me according to your word."

+    +    +

Yeshua came back from his reverie, back to the present, back to the smiling face of the old lady in front of him. From the expression on her face, as she looked him straight in the eyes, he knew that she understood what he'd just said: "Blessed, rather, are the ones who hear God's word and keep it."

You and I are about to once again conclude the Lenten season and to celebrate Holy Week which leads us into the glorious Resurrection mystery where, in the words of the preacher of Hebrews, we've been "consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

We're about to realize anew just how great are God's "wonders and...plans for us". Of course,

that doesn't preclude our being irritated occasionally at those plans! Just when you and I think we've settled in, and found that comfortable niche which we've always looked forward to, the one we thought we deserved after all our hard years of following Jesus, God has a pesky way of interrupting our lives with a different agenda.

Though we hold out to God weak reminders of all our past "sacrifices and offerings", what the Psalmist and the Hebrew preacher call "burnt offerings and sin offerings", God isn't buying it. If we "get" even a hint of the meaning of the Paschal mystery, we can figure out that God wants, not these things from us, but the same as Jesus gave on the Cross: ourselves, our whole lives. "Behold I come." "...I have come to do your will, O God." "Here am I, the servant of the Lord."

Providentially, we will have the weeks of Eastertide ahead to contemplate what all this might mean for us personally, how each of us might articulate her/his "Here am I" to God. Martin Smith, in his magnificent collection of readings for the days of Lent, A Season For the Spirit, reflects that "[t]here is no place in me, however dead, however false, that is out of the reach of the Risen Christ." He adds: "In these forty days we have 'practicing the scales of rejoicing,' allowing the Spirit who is alive within us to show us a little more of our self, more of our many selves that make each one of us a microcosm of the humanity God is healing through Christ...The Spirit has acted as the Advocate of some of the conflicted, gifted, wounded, imprisoned, banished, beautiful, desiring, lost, angry, fearful, creative selves whom we are usually so reluctant to face...By showing us how [the Risen] Christ touches each self of my self the Spirit has helped empower us some more to act as the agents of his touch for others." 

"We Want To See Jesus"

Many years ago I came upon a poem entitled Meditation on the Greek Event, written by an unknown poet, Albert Newton:

All they said is

  “We want to see Jesus”

  and that’s the last we hear of them

no ‘Well, show them in’

    no ‘What are they up to?’

  no ‘What Greeks?’

no ‘Not right now -- I’m too busy”

no nothing

  about the Greeks

‘cause the story is not about the Greeks

but Jesus.

All the Greeks are is an event

in a way beyond our comprehend

  they are a sign

    that now is the time

      not yesterday in the wandering

      not tomorrow when it’s done

      not when we looked for it

      not when the shadow broke its shade

      not even when the wine is free

but now

  when the world says

    I’ve heard of something

      I want to see.

So it’s time

  when it may still be Greek to you

    but not to me

  though I may not yet understand

    I want to see

      and be.

As this Lenten season moves towards the great Holy Week, you and I, too, “want to see and be”. To do so we need to really look at the Cross which, already next week, will be graphically set before us in the Passion, and at the man stretched out upon it. You and I come to see God face to face only through this human Jesus who can deal gently with our ignorance and waywardness because of his own experience of human weakness. This is One acquainted with “loud cries and tears”, with obedience and suffering and death. And you and I come to be only through him who “being made perfect...became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him...”

Joseph: The Father of Jesus

"Joseph" derives from Hebrew = Yahweh will increase/add, in Tiberian Hebrew and Aramaic Yôsēp̄.  The name can be translated as Yihoh Lhosif.


The earliest Gospel, Mark, makes no mention of Joseph of Nazareth. Matthew identifies him as a descendent of Abraham, his grandfather being Matthan and his father, Jacob. Luke identifies him as "a man...of the house of David" who was engaged to a young woman, Mary of Nazareth. In John's Gospel one of Jesus' followers, Philip of Bethsaida, tells his friend, Nathanael, of "him about whom Moses...and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth." Apparently, Jesus was fairly well known among those to whom he preached, if John 6:42 is accurate: "They were saying, 'Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?..." Of the four Evangelists, Matthew and Luke give us the most information, though it's still sketchy, about Joseph.


"Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’ All this took place to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel’, which means, ‘God is with us.’ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son;* and he named him Jesus." (Matthew 1:18-25)


From this passage we can generally assume that Joseph was a normal Jewish man, capable of falling in love and entering into an engagement with Mary/Miriam through her family; that he was sensitive to Mary's puzzling pregnancy situation; that he was "righteous", decisive, and faithful in following God's lead. 


There's always been speculation about how old Joseph was, but the Scriptures are silent on that detail. For some reason many artists depict him as an older man. Wikipedia has this to say: "Up to about the 17th century Joseph tends to be depicted as a man advanced in years, with grey hair, often balding, occasionally frail and with arthritic fingers and a sharp nose, a comparatively marginal figure alongside Mary and Jesus if not entirely in the background, passive other than when leading them on their flight to Egypt. Joseph is shown mostly with a beard, not only in keeping with Jewish custom, but also because – although the Gospel accounts do not give his age – later literature tends to present him as an old man at the time of his wedding to Mary. This depiction arose to allay concerns about both the celibacy of the newly wedded couple [an assumption based on Mt 1:25], the mention of brothers and sisters of Jesus in the canonical Gospels, and Joseph's other children spoken of in apocryphal literature – concerns discussed very frankly by Jean Gerson for example, who nonetheless favoured showing him as a younger man. In recent centuries – in step with a growing interest in Joseph's role in Gospel exegesis – he himself has become a focal figure in representations of the Holy Family. He is now often portrayed as a younger or even youthful man (perhaps especially in Protestant depictions)..."


Luke's Gospel narrative speaks of Jesus' birth, naming, and presentation in the Temple. "Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn..." Luke 2:4-7) Joseph is pictured as a law-biding Jew, and one who made such provisions as were available for his pregnant wife.


"After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb..." (Luke 2:21) Though Luke doesn't specifically name Joseph, we may assume from Matthew's account, Matthew 1:21; 25, that Joseph gave Jesus his name: "...you are to name him Jesus...", and "...he named him Jesus."

"When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord..." "Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God..." (Luke 2:22; 27-28)


Matthew fills in another gap, though he gives only a general time frame ("...after [the  Magi] had left..."), by saying: "...an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod..." (Matthew 2:13-15) "...When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee. There he made his home in a town called Nazareth..." (Matthew2:19-23)


That's pretty much the sum total of what we know directly about Joseph from the Scriptures. The rest is speculation. The references which we have describe him as being a tekton = artisan, probably in wood, but perhaps also iron and stone. We'd call him a blue collar working man. Given the other Scriptural descriptions and intimations, we wouldn't be far off in concluding that Joseph was conscientious, probably skilled in what he did,  and a good provider for his family. It's also not unreasonable to assume that Joseph might have shared some of his expertise with his young son, Jesus. In short, the image we're left with is of a solid, generous, goodhearted man, an observant Jew, a reliable husband, and the kind of father a son would admire and try to imitate.


It was the Roman Catholic custom, when I was confirmed, to assume the added name of a patron saint. Though I don't remember exactly how I came to it, "Joseph" was my choice. Something in the Bible stories which the nuns told us must've stuck with me. Having grown up without my natural father, perhaps there was some influence, too, by the fact that his middle name was "Joseph". Whatever the reason, my devotion to St. Joseph as a dependable father-figure has endured. I also learned later in life that burying a statue of St. Joseph, upside down (!), in the yard of a house one wants to sell brings about favorable results. While some claim that it's true, I have no firsthand experience. Fully aware of the superstitious nature of the practice, some months ago I sent a statue of St. Joseph to my niece in Alaska for her to plant in the yard prior to their family's move to Oregon. To date, the verdict is still out on whether St. Joseph will come through!
