26th Sunday
in Ordinary Time
First Reading
Numbers 11: 25-29
Are you jealous on my account? If
only the whole people of the Lord
were prophets!
Second Reading
James 5: 1-6
Your wealth is all rotten.
Gospel Mark
9: 38-43.47-48
Anyone who is not against us is
for us. If your hand should cause
you to sin, cut it off.
Capture
the Moment
The baby is teething,
the children are fighting, and my
husband just called and said to
eat dinner without him. Okay, one
of these days you’ll shout,
"Why don’t you grow up
and act your age?" . . . and
they will.
Or, "You guys
get outside and find yourself something
to do and don’t slam the door."
. . . and they won’t.
You’ll straighten
up their bedrooms all neat and tidy
with bumper stickers discarded,
bed-spread tucked and smoothed,
toys all displayed on the shelves,
hangers in the closets, animals
caged, and you’ll say out
loud, "Now I want you to stay
this way!" . . . and they will.
Then you’ll
prepare a perfect dinner with a
salad that hasn’t been picked
to death, a cake with no finger
traces through the frosting, and
you’ll say, "Now there’s
a meal for company." . . .
but you’ll eat it alone.
And you’ll
say, "I want complete privacy
on the phone! No dancing around,
no pantomimes, no demolition crews!
Silence! Do you hear me?"
. . . and you’ll have it.
No more plastic
tablecloths stained with spaghetti,
no more anxious nights under a vaporizer
tent, no more dandelion bouquets,
no more iron-on patches, no more
wet-knotted shoe strings, no more
tight boots, or rubber bands on
pony tails.
Now, imagine your
lipstick with a point. No baby sitter
on New Year’s Eve. Washing
clothes only once a week. No PTA
meetings, no car pools, no blaring
radios, having your own roll of
tape, no more Christmas presents
made out of toothpicks and paste,
no more wet-oatmeal kisses, no tooth
fairy, no giggles in the dark, no
knees to Band-aid.
Only
a memory of a voice crying, "Why
don’t you grow up?"
And in the silence will come the
echo, "I did."
