He remarked, “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.” (Jas 3:9f) Job is an Old Testament sage whose name is practically synonymous with suffering. When he had lost all his wealth, offspring, and his body was covered with painful sores from head to toe, his wife advocated cursing as the appropriate response. “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!” Job refused to curse, insisting, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” (Job 2:9f) Despite our lowly station, we mortals can be pretty quick to presumptively curse whatever doesn’t suit us. I’m no angel; I certainly have no-where near the status of an archangel. Yet one canonical writer notes, “But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you!’” (Jude 1:9) So instead of cursing a tumour (or whatever spiritual association it may represent) directly, the better approach would seem to be to ask God to deal with it, rather than abrogating that disposal- authority to ourselves. So we can seize such situations as opportunities to pray; to proclaim Jesus’ healing name, and apply God’s promises, humbly requesting His intervention. Jesus viewed someone’s being born blind as an opportunity for God to work, rather than as a reason to try to attach blame. “This happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” (Jn 9:3) His brother James, as an alternative to using the tongue to curse, advised prayer: “And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed...” (Jas 5:15f) To curse is to suppose our own words carry ultimate power. But really, at the last it’s God’s word about a situation that prevails. Isaiah recognized this in our opening quote: “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.” (Is 40:8) Quoting that very passage, the apostle Peter added that it is this same word of God that can bring us new birth out of this realm of decay, disintegration, cancers, and all that’s perishable: “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” (1Pe 1:23) The blessing of faith in Jesus is the final solution - and answer - to the damage wrought by sin’s curse. ‘Bless those you curse’ Good eats From left: Ria Vandenbroek and Alicia Deitner scooped up delicious apple crisp at St. Ambrose Catholic Church’s lasagna dinner held at the BMG Community Centre on Thursday night.
