Michael Collins
Saturday, August 23, 2014
1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
(2nd fl. classroom)
Cost: $5.
A heartfelt epic set in 1920 from
Irish director Neal Jordan,
Michael Collins is the biography
of the charismatic and
controversial Irish rebel leader
who led the fight for independence from Britain.
Among the most beautiful and atmospherically
photographed movies of the 90s, Michael Collins
is also a rich and intelligent study of the nature of
politics and leadership: the IRA spokesman, full of
fiery convictions, eventually gives way to the more
mature negotiator who strives to reach a
compromise solution and is politically undone in
the process. Liam Neeson gives a grand and
towering performance as Collins, but for all the
characters legendary, heroic, or otherwise larger-
than-life attributes, Jordan and Neeson also keep
him human.
Michael Collins was assassinated on August 22,
1922 in Bal na Blth, Ireland.

Needs
This Sunday most of us will notice mainly the story
of Jesus walking on water, together with Peter
sinking into it. But there is another very interesting
spiritual dimension that i would like to suggest.
What do you think was going on
in Jesus own heart and soul
during these events?
We know that Jesus had
emotions. We have seen them
before, as when lazarus died
and especially last week when
he was hit hard by news of John
the Baptists death. So he had
taken a boat to a deserted place
in order to grieve quietly by
himself. But the crowd got there
first and immediately pressed him into service
when he arrived. instead of the hushed time of
grief he needed, Jesus heart had been moved by
the needs of the suffering people before him. He
spent hour after hour, healing and curing and
feeding. Exhausting.
Then comes the story for this Sunday. Jesus sends
the crowd away at last. And notice a strange thing,
usually ignored. He made the disciples get into a
boat and precede him to the other side. Why send
them ahead? Why stay there alone? The answer is
easy. He still needed to be alone to process Johns
death, which he had not yet done.
He climbed up on a mountainside and took his
own time to commune with his heavenly Father.
The gospel says that by now it was evening, and
that Jesus prayed well into the night. A gusty wind
came up. He could not have been comfortable.
i would love to know what his prayer was like. He
had studied the scriptures since his youth, so
maybe the story in our First reading came to mind.
Spirituality of the Readings
There the prophet Elijah too was up on a mountain-
side, and there too, a heavy wind came up. The
lord was not in the wind, we are told. Nor in the
earthquake that followed. Nor in the fire that came
next. The lord god was in the final, still, small
voice. *
Jesus heard this voice too on the mountain-side.
But what did he feel?
lets take a shot at it. He opened his bruised trust
to the Father, and along with this trust, his very
personal loss. Perhaps Abba reassured him that,
even against the evidence, all human beings have
to rely on god, especially when it seems that
tragedy has the upper hand.
yes, Jesus was divine, but divine
consciousness and knowledge
rested in the deepest realm of his
soul, and needed this silent time
to emerge.
in prayer, Jesus returned to his
normal level of trust in god, but
stronger now. in the same way
that he learned obedience
through what he suffered
(Hebrews 5:8), maybe he had to
learn a higher level of trust
through loss. Trust is not a sheer act of the will, not
simply a blind decision, but a quiet re-emergence
of gods faithful love.
Then, at last, Jesus walked on water. How must it
feel to leave the solid ground and walk on slushy
liquid? Perhaps this walking was symbolic of the
trust he had come to in his night of prayer.
Maybe trust feels like walking on water.
Have you tried it lately? Have you been willing to
step out of the boring boat of your daily life and
put yourself, your everything into the lords
hands?
Consider this an invitation to do so.
