It was raining after Easter Vigil. Surely that is a good omen.
I think instead of saying "I love you" to people, I'll just say "I see Christ in you. Let me be Christ to you." It's a much more descriptive way of saying the same thing. And perhaps it would help me keep love in perspective.
This year I failed to love. I failed not once but thrice.
As capable as my mind is of separating facts and emotions, I can't seem to escape those moments, those lowest of turning points. The awkward interactions, the callous episodes, the cold looks. Don't think I ever forget.
I don't know what I am called to do. Should I try to fix it? Let it be?
What would being Christ entail?
Reminded me of one of my favorite simple prayers from the ND prayerbook:
ReplyDeleteLord, may we see in each other and be for each other the unending light of Christ.
