How good it is to initiate the day looking towards each brother and sister with the eyes of Jesus and perceiving and extracting the best of each one. We are going today to do the exercise of when we may be before each brother or sister asking the Holy Spirit: How does Jesus perceive this person? Certainly, the grace of God will come to our help in bringing us to perceive beyond the appearance, the example of Christ who does not look only at appearances, but further, into the heart.
We continue this road and with certainty, much reconciliation will happen in our life. Much resistance and many false judgments will fall to the ground, and as fruit this will produce in our heart the obedience to the word of God that we ask today:
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.” (Mt 5,23-24 NIV)
Lord give us the grace of today perceiving all persons as You do.
Jesus I trust in You!
