In the video below, things are not as they initially appear. Our eyes are easily deceived. Further, we tend to make rash judgments. Enjoy being fooled for a moment and then consider the need for deliberation and a patient spirit until all or most of the facts are in.
Here are some appropriate references from Scripture:
Call no one blessed before his death, for by his end shall a man be known (Sir 11:28).
Remember, the sins of some men are obvious, leading them to certain judgment. But there are others whose sins will not be revealed until later (1 Tim 5:24).
So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now (2 Cor 5:16).
Enjoy the video!
Good illusion. Reminds me of a story by O Henry where an artist paints a picture of a leaf on a wall and people wondered, in Autumn, why that last leaf never fell.
‘Luke 8:17 For nothing is hid that shall not be made manifest, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to light.’ Yes, everything vanities, all vanities. Oh,My GOD, look not on our sins but on the Faith of YOUR Church and save us from ourselves. May we see YOU in the face of those who need our help and that they may see YOU in us and be an extension of YOUR Grace. Appear in me that I may appear as YOU to others who need YOUR Mercy, Love and Grace. YOU alone is the reality.
Thanks Monsignor for reminding us of our worldly foolishness.
