Tonight at Mass, the priest told a personal story of him trying to make a flight at the Chicago airport, and in his running and rushing, he ran smack into a kiosk full of snacks and fruit that went flying everywhere. After taking a moment, and realizing what he did... he decided to go back. missing his flight and helped clean up the mess he made. After a bit, he heard the worker crying and went to her to apologize. She was blind and told him when she heard the big crash, she started praying for Jesus to come and help her. So in him coming to help, she wondered and asked him, "Are you Jesus?"
He went on to ask us... when we think back over the past week, not month or year, but the last week... "Were you ever mistaken for being Jesus?" A beautiful thought to reflect on, and something to strive for this Lent. What acts of kindness can we do to be more like Jesus? How can we share in the water of grace with others to be Jesus here on this Earth?
