What are we seeing? Is it time for an eye checkup?

By Father Bro

It is said that at the end of the nineteenth century Saint John Bosco had to spend a short time in Paris. He went to the rectory of a large church, in the center of Paris. Seeing this Italian priest, who was perhaps of poor appearance and no doubt with hesitant French, the parish priest gave him a room in the attic, on the sixth floor. Several years later, the priest was questioned in Rome about John Bosco during the canonization process [for sainthood]. He made this naïve as well as awesome remark: “Well, of course, if we had known he was a saint, we wouldn’t have put him on the sixth floor!”

In this regard, we need only read once again Chapter 25 of Saint Matthew, which contains the great scene of the last judgment of men and nations. “Lord when did we see you hungry . . . or thirsty . . . or a stranger? Amen I say to you, as long as you did it for one of these, the least of my brethren, you did it for me.” “Well, of course, if we had known he was a saint . . .” It was Christ himself . . .
