Can You See as Jesus Sees? Family Reflection Video

Love thy Neighbor

How’s your vision? Are you nearsighted, farsighted or do you have blind spots when it comes to your faith and caring for others?

Whether our eyesight is 20/20 with or without glasses, we are not limited in believing in God’s presence by our eyesight. What matters most is that the love of God stirs our heart to seek Him and that in turn we look to share His love with others.

Today’s Gospel is a reminder to look toward others with eyes of faith and love. As we pray and prepare to give thanks to God and for our loved ones, we also need to look around to see if there are others we can invite or help in sharing this time together. How can you and your family spread God’s love?

I pray that we’re all better able to look with the eyes of Christ and act with His heart.

Do you have a Thanksgiving prayer you want to share? Join Catholic Mom’s linkup and tell us how you pray and give thanks as a family!
