I have a group of fellow Catholic men that meet weekly (most weeks anyways) to share our journeys and hold one another accountable. One question we ask ourselves each week was when we were most aware of Christ’s presence. At a meeting at my parish, a similar question came up - where do I see Christ.

I find this question a tough one some times. Not because I don’t see Christ, but because when I look, I see him everywhere.

I see him in the priest who so reverently says mass.
I see him in the charismatic man who shares our faith with our protestant brothers & sisters.
I see him in the woman who runs the Life Center.
I see him in the woman who uses her connections to raise funds for the parish.
I see him in the young woman who is working with the youth.
I see him in my wife when she is doing all that she does for our children.
I see him in my children almost every time I look.
I see him in the homeless man pushing his cart down the street.
I see him in my faith brothers as they struggle on their journey.
I see him in the posts of Catholic bloggers as they share their faith.
I see him in the man struggling with his vice.

When I look, I see him.
It is only when I don’t look that I don’t see.

Rob,

This is a very insightful post…I know that I often forget to see Christ in people that I deal with daily…Being judgemental is one of my primary impediments to seeing people as such…

Thanks for the post
