A car accident when she was in her late 40s had left her homebound with chronic pain and without use of her legs. One of her favorite visits in her home was on Sunday afternoon, when her pastor would come by to give Marina Holy Communion and pray with her. With a half flight of stairs leading up to the church door and more stairs between the foyer and the sanctuary, worshiping with her congregation was not an option.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Marina was so surprised to get a call from her pastor in July 2020 asking her to be part of a conversation about reopening the building for worship during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was quiet in that first Zoom meeting, listening to the other 10 people share their ideas and concerns. Some were scared, some weren\u2019t, but most were exasperated and at a loss. One man seemed to put it best when he said, \u201cThis is all new to us. We\u2019ve just never had to think about what it would mean to not be in church together ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before anyone could murmur agreement, Marina made her sole contribution to the discussion: \u201cWhaddya mean \u2018<em>we<\/em>\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cwe\u201d \u2014 or, more specifically, this call to reexamine \u201cwe\u201d \u2014 is at the core of the gospel message for Ash Wednesday this year and, indeed, of the church\u2019s vision of a just world where all are fed.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus\u2019 teaching in Matthew 6:1-6 and 16-21 is the starting point on the journey through Lent. In this excerpt from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus admonishes his audience about public, showy displays of spirituality. Rather than take pleasure or pride in giving alms, we are to hide the deed even from ourselves. Rather than pray in public, we are to retire to private rooms. Rather than display the effects of our fasting, Jesus tells us, \u201cput oil on your head and wash your face\u201d (6:17).<\/p>\n<p>In fact, each of Jesus\u2019 directives seems to contradict the very notion of what we have come to call \u201cbeing a public church.\u201d The sermon of Jesus appears to favor private spirituality over public displays of faith. He seems to suggest that faith is best lived out in the quiet and private spaces of our hearts rather than in public.<\/p>\n<p>However, reading the sermon in this way misses the fact that the Gospel of Matthew is a call to be this very public church, which will \u201cmake disciples of all nations\u201d (Matthew 28:19). We might believe that the message of Lent is to practice private piety, yet Jesus focuses here not on the mere practices of faith but on the community of faith. In other words, Jesus is talking not about the <em>what<\/em> but about the <em>who<\/em> \u2014 who we are and who God is.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Joseph Brown hints at this in his commentary on Matthew in <em>True to Our Native Land: An African American New Testament Commentary<\/em> (Fortress, 2007), noting the subtle assumptions about privilege in Matthew 6. Jesus\u2019 command to the disciples to pray in their \u201croom\u201d (6:6) assumes they have a private room to retreat to, even though Jesus himself \u201chas nowhere to lay his head\u201d (Matthew 8:20). \u201cAlmsgiving,\u201d as Brown writes, \u201cassumes that you have something to give.\u201d Even fasting assumes that one has the means to make choices about when to start and stop their own hunger<\/p>\n<p>Jesus\u2019 message is a challenge to a privileged church to think more carefully about who they are. The problem isn\u2019t that they are doing the wrong things. Giving alms to support neighbors is a good thing. Praying in the synagogue is, well, what is supposed to happen when the community is gathered. They are going through the right motions. But they have forgotten why they are doing them, and they have forgotten who they are. Their practices are no longer about the good of the community or the good of the neighbor but are mere performances, focused entirely on themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Almsgiving, praying, fasting \u2014 these are practices meant to remind us of each other. But has being faithful become a matter of making sure we are seen rather than of training our hearts and minds to see each other? Marina\u2019s fellow congregant in the Zoom call was more than willing to help the church with what it needed to do. But as her question revealed, he had forgotten who the church is called to be. His \u201cwe\u201d was no more than an \u201cI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet even when the church forgets, God remembers. In each of the dictates to his followers, Jesus reminds them of the \u201cFather who sees in secret.\u201d He reminds us that God\u2019s concern for us is not measured by our conspicuousness, nor is it limited by our narrow imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying our neighbors in God\u2019s work of building a just world where all are fed means reimagining who we are and who we are called to be. There are so many stories shared across this church about friends and neighbors addressing hunger and poverty together. But perhaps the significance of faith in God, who \u201csees in secret,\u201d is best exemplified not by the stories we can tell but by the stories we can\u2019t \u2014 stories of God at work \u201cin secret\u201d and in hidden ways. These are the stories we don\u2019t hear, of neighbors whose names can\u2019t be shared.<\/p>\n<p>They include the story of the clinic that cannot be named because unjust laws would put its noncitizen clients at risk. They include the story of women in a shelter whose names must be hidden to keep the women safe from their abusers. They include the story of ministries in conflict zones whose details cannot be shared without exposing workers and guests to violence.<\/p>\n<p>These are the stories that cannot be trumpeted but are nevertheless triumphant examples of the work of God, \u201cwho sees in secret.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ending hunger means seeing what unjust power tries to keep hidden. It means defining \u201cwe\u201d in a way that threatens the principalities and powers \u2014 including our own privilege \u2014 that make everything about \u201cI.\u201d And it means remembering, when we are isolated or marginalized, that \u201cI\u201d am never excluded from God\u2019s \u201cwe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jesus\u2019 call in the Gospel reading reminds us that being the church requires a definition of community that is more expansive, more diverse and, thus, more beautiful than the exclusive vision put forth by<br \/>\nthose in power.<\/p>\n<h3>Reflection Questions<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Think, journal or share about a time when you felt left out or unable to speak because of fear. How does that memory impact your reflection on this reading and devotion?<\/li>\n<li>The members of Marina\u2019s church were unable to see that their ability to climb stairs gave them the privilege to gather together in one space. The members of the ancient church to which Jesus was speaking were unable to see that their ability to give alms, fast and pray in private rooms was a privilege. What are some ways that privilege might affect who feels included in your community?<\/li>\n<li>What does your church community look like? In what ways are all neighbors in your community invited to share their experiences and ideas openly and freely with your congregation?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Prayer<\/h3>\n<p>Gracious and loving God, through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, you bring light and life for all the world. Help us to listen, learn and love until your light and life fill every community. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; A Bigger &#8220;We&#8221; \u201cYour Father who sees in secret will reward you\u201d (Matthew 6:4). &nbsp; &nbsp; Almost eight years had passed since Marina set foot inside a church building.
