Where We Are to Gaze
"Look long at the Good Shepherd, Who, to save His sheep, endured the suffering of the cross." --St. Francis, Admonition 6
When we look long and hard at anything we begin to see things we did not see at first. Now that I'm drawing every day, the very practice of looking at an object and drawing it until I get it right is helping me notice things I've not seen before. Looking at Christ in this way--what He did for us--softens our hearts and opens us more fully to His love.
