6 Let there be light Wrinkles An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was covered with freckles, were waiting in line to get his face painted. A child next to him in line said, "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother heard this and knelt down next to him and said, "I love your freckles. You know when I was a little girl, I always wanted freckles. Freckles are beautiful." The boy looked up, "Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles." The little boy thought for a moment, and looked into his grandma's face, and whispered softly, "Wrinkles". In today s readings, we are being asked to quit our grumbling and our addiction to sin and acknowledge the gift of the Eucharist as the source of our life. If we had read on further in Ephesians today, we would have read, Put away falsehood, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, for we are members one of another. do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not leave room for the devil. The thief must no longer steal but should rather do honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with one in need. No foul language should come out of your mouth And do not grieve the holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of redemption. Last Sunday we heard the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand. Today s Gospel is about those same people, many of whom were lost in the sign of the bread and fish and came to him looking for more. Jesus addresses the people s desire for signs in engaging them in what is called consciousness raising. Jesus encourages us to move from one level to another, to see beyond and behind, to see as he himself sees. Jesus is essentially asking them to look beyond their stomachs -- and challenges them to sink their teeth into the real food he has to offer, namely, the bread of life. Just like the Grandma could look beyond the freckles and the grandson could look beyond the wrinkles, Jesus could look beyond the bread that he took and blessed and broke and gave fully aware that he would be taken and broken and beyond the crucifixion to this Communion celebration, where he is remembered and is truly present to us in Sacrament. Jesus could look beyond the demands of the crowds for another free lunch and recognize the deeper hungers of which they had yet to become aware. He could look beyond the beggar to the blessedness God has bestowed on every creature. Jesus could look beyond the shamed adulterer and acknowledge the repentant sinner. Jesus could look beyond the betrayals and denials of his disciples and see in them the wounded beggars who would thereafter help others to find the bread of his word, of his wisdom, of his very self. Jesus could see beyond skin color, gender, politics, and socioeconomic status and recognize his brothers and sisters. I wonder if we can see it too? God does not force this bread of life upon us. To be truly nourished, we must consciously take and eat.
