Look Up!
How often do we grow impatient and grumble when life does not go smoothly and easily for us? Like the people of Moses' time, we often lose sight of God because we are focused on our own comforts and worldly pursuits. When we have fallen into sin and despair, God reminds us to look up. The children of Israel were instructed to look at the mounted serpent for healing from their sins. We are called to lift our heads and gaze upon Christ on the cross, and in doing so we are constantly reminded of his endless love and mercy.
Reflection questions:
- What do you see when you look at the crucifix?
- What attachments in this world keep you from looking up to behold God's love for you?
