It’s easy to forget but as Christians we should see the face of Jesus in everyone around us — not just those who think and live as we do but people we disagree with, those who make us angry, those who seem to be just terrible, awful people. Perhaps if we remember to see Jesus in them and treat them kindly, as Saint John Paul II reminds us, we will bring about a change of heart in them and ourselves.
Join The Dialog again this year on Our Lenten Journey. Each day, we will bring you a thought to start your morning — a quote from a saint, a passage from scripture, or thoughts from theologians — along with a links to each day’s readings and other Lent-related topics.
