Eyes of Christ Day 60
As members of the Mystical Body grow into holiness, we begin to view God's world differently. Our eyes are changed to see things by a new light. This same thing happened to two disciples who met Jesus Christ after the resurrection as they hurried along the road to Emmaus. Though they knew Jesus well, they failed to recognize him as he walked and talked. Suddenly, as Christ broke bread, their eyes were opened. Then, "they were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost."1
Jesus Christ gives us a renewed vision for our neighbors who may not know him. Christ transforms our view of the growing numbers of seniors, the young professional "Yuppies" and the ethnic groups speaking their own languages. Christ directs us to the new poor in their big cities. As we minister to others, we begin to understand ourselves. We realize our impoverished nature and begin to comprehend our status in God's sight as his children. Our eyes awaken us to our own frailty and then God's power working in us. Have your eyes been remade by the divine optician? "We have the eyes of Christ."
1Luke 24.37.
