EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

 Pop,” yelled grandson Hudson, “I need you to focus.” Frustrated that Pop wasn’t getting the game we were playing, Hudson repeated his mother’s words at those who “just don’t get it” (often Hudson himself)—“I need you to focus.”
Read his lips, and you can almost hear Jesus saying the same thing to a pretty thick crowd in today’s gospel.

I need you to focus; open your eyes; look at me, and see the bread of life.

And they just don’t get it.

Can we really blame them? Pretty tough to look at Jesus and see bread. Almost as tough as looking at bread and seeing Jesus. So, what’s the point of this bread game that we and the crowd seem to have such a tough time getting? The point is this: it’s not the food we eat, but the one for whom we hunger. We just gotta focus!!!
