His Whole Body A Tongue

I cannot think of anything in my lifetime to
compare with the computer. To my knowledge,
nothing so complex has ever become so much a part
of mainstream living so rapidly. And something
that continues to reinvent itself. I have watched an
industry travel from the desktop to the smartphone
to the tablet. And now looking on as a new watch
has appeared and a new car is sitting on the
technological horizon.
I saw a cartoon a while ago in which two
children were sitting in their kindergarten
classroom. It was their first experience of school.
Each child was holding an iPad. One child, rather
confused, was saying to the other, What is a
book? We are not there yet but who can say when
that day will come? Time is moving at breakneck
speed in the communication arena, particularly for
those of us who remember a time when picking up
a telephone meant a nice lady said, Number
please?
No less marvelous but much more primitive
is an instrument present and of use since first words
were spoken anywhere.
A tool nature has
provided, placing it in each one of our mouths: the
miracle of the human tongue. A communication
device given at birth. Its movement becomes
essential to produce the social necessity of
language. But like other communication skills and
tools, it may be used for various purposes: good,
evil, or just for so much nonsense.
But the necessity and potential of the
human tongue has brought about a variety of
expressions, in the English language alone. If we
are not tongue-tied, the words we have learned to
speak will have come from our mother-tongue. We
may at times not have complete control over what
we say, and therefore may be prone to an occasional
slip of the tongue. Or if what we say does not
4

possess complete honesty, we may be accused of

speaking with a forked-tongue. And when our
anger spills out on some poor soul, we are giving
them a tongue-lashing. Which explosion could be
averted if we instead could only hold our tongue
and bury our remarks in the subtle silence of a
tongue-in-cheek moment.
Not to be outdone, Scripture offers some
thoughts about this small, wiggly thing that moves
in our mouths. In the Letter of James the author
writes of how large ships are guided by a
comparatively small rudder. And then adds, The
tongue is something like that. It is a small member,
yet it make great pretensions (James 3, 5). He goes
on to compare the tongue also with the small spark
that lights the large fire. He admits to the various
uses it may employ, We use it to say, Praise be the
Lord and Father; then we use it to curse men,
though they are made in the likeness of God.
Blessing and curse come out of the same mouth
(James 3,9-10).
St. Paul also views the tongue and the
power it possesses. If I speak with human tongues
and angelic as well, but do not have love, I am a
noisy gong, a clanging cymbal (1Corinthians 13,
1). Beyond the gong and cymbal, he does elevate
the tongue to the level of angels as well as humans.
In the chapter that follows, he recognizes the gift
of tongues. Such a gift needing someone to
interpret what has been uttered. If any of you are
going to talk in tongues, let it be at most two or
three, each in turn, with another to interpret what
they are saying (Corinthians 14, 27). Inspiration
therefore rolling out of the mouth through the
activity of the tongue. Or, as the Psalms express it,
My tongue is as nimble as the pen of a scribe
(Psalm 46, 1).
Maybe the most significant Christian
reference to the tongue would come from the Acts
of the Apostles. There the Pentecostal event is
described:
Suddenly from up in the sky there came a
noise like a strong, driving wind, which was
heard all through the house where they
were seated. Tongues as of fire appeared
which parted and came to rest on each of
them. All were filled with the Holy Spirit.
They began to express themselves in foreign
tongues and make bold proclamation as the
Spirit prompted them. (Acts 2, 2-4).
Saint Anthony Shrine The Church on Arch Street

All of the above leads merely to a short

expression used by Thomas of Celano to describe
St. Francis preaching style. He writes in his first
life of the Saint of his preaching edifying his
listeners by his example as much as by his words, as
he made of his whole body a tongue. Given the
sentence itself, the image of the tongue may point to
something much more than an aspect of public
speaking. The sentence implies communicating as
much by example as by words. This emphasis on
life style as Gospel proclamation shows up in his
first Rule in which he first writes of how
missionaries should live among nonbelievers.
Missionaries should approach their task in one of
two ways: Either by living among nonbelievers in
a Christian way. Allowing others to know of their
Christian faith but making no effort to preach in
any way other than by the example of their lives.
Or for them to announce the Word of God openly to
anyone who might listen. In the following chapter
on preachers, Francis does not give that choice. He
merely expects those who are preaching to be aware
of the power of their example as well as his words.
He writes briefly, Let all the brothers, however,
preach by their deeds. Let their deeds show
themselves to possess the same faith-expression as
what rolls off their tongue.

Response
Fr. Emeric's choice of subject is particularly
meaningful to me at this time. I have been
diagnosed as suffering from dysphasia, a
constriction of the throat with problems for the
vocal cords and the tongue. My tongue thickens,
making speech difficult. Since I consider myself a
great talker, the condition is a great blow to my ego.

ourselves we are frustrated and more often than

not, we express ourselves without due thought.
We need to deepen our understanding of
the tongue as instrument. We too often take
advantage of speech as a resistance to good sense,
to speak without due consideration. Jesus teaches
that in our prayers we are not to multiply our
words unnecessarily (Mt 6:7-8). Words carefully
considered lead to actions well thought out, to life
well considered and almost understood. The gifted
speaker is like a tight-rope walker, totally
dependent on balance. The Christian speaker is
well aware of the Pentecostal tongue of fire, which
is given to us especially through Confirmation, the
receiving in a special way of the grace of the Holy
Spirit. Our tongues can, through inspiration,
express the vital truth of our faith: that the real God
loved us enough to send his Son and the Holy Spirit
and makes it possible for us to express the truth and
describe the true and growing reality of the
Presence of God in our midst. What wonderful
words the tongues of the assembled believers can
put forth in their deeply held belief that God is in
their midst and that the Spirit orchestrates their
worship!
Loosen our tongues, O Lord, that we may, in
wonderful harmony of thought and feeling
bestowed on us by your Spirit, speak such words of
comfort as may convince those in darkness of the
Light that is Christ. Make us so eloquent in the
expression of our faith that others may be moved
by our sincerity. May our words be of those who
have been healed, that we may be healers to those
who hear us. Speak my tongue the Savior's glory,
speak in the understanding that by words spoken
in the name of the Word, healing love may possess
us all!

To be human is to be able to have our say.

Our tongue enables us to express ourselves our
feelings, our attitudes, our conclusions as to what is
real. The tongue permits us to modify the sounds
we make in order to express ourselves in words.
The word is the great instrument of meaning; it give
life to things so as to transform them into entities,
significant products of insight and conviction,
uncertainty and fearfulness, anger and joy,
acceptance and rejection. If we cannot express

The Art of Pilgrimage

NEWDATE Thursday, April 16, 2015

5:30 to 6:30 p.m. (2nd floor classroom)
Presenter: Dr. Jackie Stewart
Cost: Free will ($5 suggested)

A Pilgrimage is different from a tour. I have made

many pilgrimages to ancient Celtic sites and Irish
monasteries, places associated with St. Francis
and St. Clare of Assisi, and St. Joan of Arc, preChristian European sacred places, literary sources,
the Holy Land of Israel/Palestinian territoriesthe
Fifth Gospel, to name a few. They all had a
number of things in common, not mere travel but
soulful. Learn the seven stages of a sacred
journey, whether the pilgrimage be virtual or real,
near or far, literary, religious or of another form.
Recommended for all who have been on or are
considering going on a Pilgrimage of any kind.
