A Meditation from Robert

Matthew 11:7-9 & 18-19

"What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, a prophet.
John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners."

John 1:10

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

Dear Sisters and Brothers, as I reflect on these passages I am drawn to think of ways that I miss seeing Jesus during my day. Jesus, the One who is all around me, inviting me to come closer and look deeply into His being. Can I see Him in the eyes of one who does not dress like me? Can I see him in the eyes of one who does not look like me? Can I see Him in the eyes of one who does not pray like me? Can I see Him in your eyes? Will I?
