14th Sunday of Ordinary Time Faith is like a pair of glasses

 

Most people need glasses at one point or another in their life. 

Either to see things that are far away,

Or to see things that are close up. 

Faith is like a pair of glasses. 

It helps us to see things that are far away. 

Faith helps us to see Eternity. 

It may seem far away now but it is coming down the road. 

When the Kingdom of this world will be no more,

And the Kingdom of Heaven will come. 

And on that day there will be a New Heavens and a New Earth. 

For on that Day,

There will be no more mourning or crying. 

No more injustice or suffering or death. 

And every tear will be wiped away. 

For on that Day,

Jesus will come on the clouds in glory,

Surrounded by His angels. 

And the dead will rise from their slumbering place

And everyone will be gathered before the Lord,

And He will separate the sheep from the goats. 

And all of the Faithful will be gathered around the Table of the Lamb

For one Eternal Banquet.  

Where everyone will Feast endlessly on Love, Happiness and Peace. 

It seems far away right now. 

As the world is filled with selfishness, violence and hunger. 

But those who have Faith are able to see it,

Faith is like a pair of glasses because it also helps us to see things that are near,

Faith helps us to see that God is right in front of us. 

With Faith, we can see God in the Eucharist. 

We see see His Body and Blood. 

With Faith we see God in one another. 

We see His Face in the Faces of those we meet. 

We hear His voice in their words. 

We touch His hand when we grab hold of the hands of others. 

With Faith we see God in Creation.

We see the greatness of God in the Mountains. 

His power in the wind. 

His beauty in the flowers. 

God is right in front of us,

But only those who have Faith can see Him. 

Glasses help us see things that are far away

And things that are right in front of us. 

Through Faith,

we can see Eternity and the God who is right in front of us.
