The Lord Is My Chef Easter Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Monday in the Third Week of Easter, 15 April 2024 Acts 6:8-15 ><]]]]'> + ><]]]]'> + ><]]]]'> John 6:22-29
Lord Jesus, it is said that our eyes are the windows of our soul; by merely looking into our eyes, we reveal what's inside us - fear and courage, doubts and certainties, questions and answers, anxieties and joys, hatred and love and hopes. Your words today make me examine what is in our eyes when we look?
All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him (Stephen) and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
Acts 6:15
Lord Jesus, so many times troubles happen among us just because of the way we look at each other, or simply, the way we look at things when we take ordinary ones so seriously and look at the more important ones as so simple and ordinary; worst, O Lord, is when we keep on "looking" for You without looking at Your essence but merely looking at what You have and whatever You can give. Teach us, dear Jesus, to focus our eyes into looking at Your lovely gaze filled with love and mercy, compassion and and kindness, the look of the eyes who truly care and see beyond what's on the surface. Amen.
