Trying to see him

“’Who then is this about whom I hear such things?’ And he kept trying to see him.” (LK 9: 9) 

The key word here is “trying.” The problem lies in persistence and consistency. When we try every day “to see Him,” our eyes will be clearer and we will recognize Him in daily readings, in the Bible, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, in our spouses and in our children. Our Lord came to be with us. He is hidden, invisible, but only for those who “don’t try.”

“I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father except through me.” (Gospel Acclamation)
