Call Me Maybe

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?

    Lord, may we see in each other and be for each other the unending light of Christ.
