There is a story about a man who came up
to a monk and said, “When I look at
you, I see a pig!” And the monk said,
“And when I look at you, I see
Christ.” The man said, “How is
that?” The monk replied, “Well,
what you see is what you are on the
inside. If you see Christ you are Christ,
if you see a pig…” There is a
great deal of truth in the saying,
“We do not see things as they are, we
see things as we are.” Jesus tells us
in St. John’s gospel, “Whoever
loves me will keep my word, an my Father
will love him, and we will come to him and
make our dwelling in him.” That is
the truth about us. In baptism we have
been claimed by Christ, we have died and
risen with Him. We belong to Him and he
has made his home in us. It is good to
remind ourselves about our true identity,
about who we are deep down inside our
innermost self. We are so loved by God
that he will leave ninety-nine sheep to
seek out one lost little lamb; He is
humble enough to wash feet; He is
passionate enough to suffer and die for
us; He forgives not once but over and over
again. Jesus our savor is wild about us.
We must be very special for Jesus to be so
in love with us.
Not
enough to be with is, to walk beside us,
to be in our company; Jesus wants to be at
the very center of our being, in every
sinew, fiber, thought and heartbeat. So
when you look out at the world what do you
see? When you look in the mirror who looks
back at you?

Stress in
your Marriage?
Retrouvaille is a program for married
couples that feel bored, disillusioned,
frustrated, or angry at their marriage.
Some experience coldness. Others

situation or even communicate with their
spouse about it. This program has helped
tens of thousands of couples experiencing
difficulties in their marriage. For

register for the June program beginnin g
with a weekend on June 1 –3 call
