Msgr. Pope on the Courage to See

"I would like to speak to you today about the courage to see. You might not think that it takes courage to see, but it does. Most of us have many things we either don't want to see or don't want to hear. This is typically because it might challenge our way of thinking, summon us to new attitudes, require us to change our behavior, call us to change the way we regard other people, and/or necessitate the reordering of our priorities. Not only does it take courage to see; it takes courage even to want to see."

In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on the gospels, instead of being "spectator sports," calling us to action and how, as a Church, we must help others to see by shining the light of Jesus on this world.
