Painting Parable
There’s an old joke about a parsonage and a paint job. It goes like this: a painting contractor saved money by thinning the paint for the parsonage with turpentine. After painting the house, he stood back to admire his work. Suddenly a dark cloud formed over the parsonage and thunderstorm washed away his paint. He looked up to the sky and said, “Oh God, what should I do?!” The answer came back, “Repaint, repaint and thin no more.”
Two weekends ago, I found myself painting the tile roof of our house. I thought of that joke because the paint I used was expensive and it took six very heavy 5-gallon buckets. The directions clearly stated there will be no thinning of the paint; but, I must admit that I thought about it.
Why paint the roof you may ask? Although it is not leaking, the roof is nearing 30 years old. The original white coating on the tile is flaking off which can cause clogs at the downspouts and, during heavy rains, it peppers the grass, driveway and the hood of my car. Tile is not waterproof but the tar coating underneath it is. The tile protects the tar from the heat of the sun. The paint I applied is the consistency of mud and it is an ultra-white acrylic elastomeric fiber-reinforced roof sealer which does three things – reflects sunlight which keeps the roof cooler, extends the life of the tar undercoating, and prevents water from leaking onto the undercoating. I am pleased to report that we have noticed a difference with our air conditioner in that it does not turn on until much later in the afternoon.
The theological lesson I originally thought of while painting was of stewardship – caring for that which we have been blessed. It reminded me of how during the pandemic we have cared for our facility and improved it. But, there is more to it.
I finished painting the southside of the roof and after a week-long break,
I resumed painting the north, east and west sides. Walking on the tile is a little tricky. Each tile moves slightly when stepped on – like a rickety rock on a river bed; if the river bed was on a 35-degree angle and any slip could cause one to slide off. Suffice it to say, I had to step carefully. However, when I stepped onto the newly painted south side, the tiles didn’t click back and forth, they were solid. The elastomeric fiber-reinforced roof sealer connected each individual tile so that the roof had become one. Just to make sure I wasn’t imagining something, I stepped onto the unpainted section and then back on to the painted section and sure enough, there was a difference, it all held together.
I now have a roof painting parable which goes like this: the Holy Spirit is like elastomeric fiber-reinforced roof sealer, which, when applied to the surface, it makes many tiles one. Like roof tile and paint, although we are many, when the Spirit is applied, we become one. The rain and sun of life can beat down but with the Spirit we can repel what comes our way and remain as one.
-Fr. Dave
