FROM JOHN'S GOSPEL READING TODAY

“Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 

Many of us want to see Jesus.  In Matthew's Gospel Jesus tells the parable of the sheep and the goats.  The righteous ask:

“Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

If we want to see Jesus, we just have to look around.
