The Gospel Through a Franciscan Lens – 4th Week in Ordinary Time – Fr. Christopher

What does Jesus see when He sees?  Seeing is a physical act.  It notices outward appearances.  Seeing is also a mental act.  It evaluates people and places them in social categories the mind uses.  But seeing is also a spiritual act.  It is aware of the spiritual nature of people.  The eye of the soul sees people in relationship to the Divine Source, and in communion with all of creation.
