On Sunday morning a man showed up at church with both his ears terribly blistered, so his pastor asked, “WHAT happened to YOU?” I was lying on the couch watching a ball game on TV while my wife was ironing nearby. I was totally engrossed in the game when she went out, leaving the iron near the phone. The phone rang, & keeping my eyes on the TV, I grabbed the hot iron and put it to my ear.” “How dreadful,” gasped the pastor. “But how did the other ear get burned?” “Well, you see, I’d no sooner hung up & the guy called back!” He just didn’t get it. Lots of folks never get it, never understand how life really works, even at the simplest levels. That’s why Jesus is pressing his followers—and us—so insistently in today’s Gospel: “Do you understand who I am,” He asks, “and what my being here means for you?” (Msgr. Dennis Clarke)
