A Good Exercise

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says.” – Rev 3:6
When you enter the church, open your eyes – give yourself time to look around. What you want to do is to look. to see – with the eyes of faith.
Saints, Statues and Icons – look beyond the wood, paint and metal; look deeply to see the belief that each represents.
Just as He helped St. Paul, Jesus will help me. He will guide me to see with new eyes that which the Lord our God wishes for me to see.
