The Gift and Challenge of Vision

Homily from the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

There are four kinds of vision...one is the most helpful.

We all want to see the world accurately. But most often, we fall into the blindness of being shortsighted. Then we want foresight so that we can know what will happen. Or hindsight so that we know what we've lived through. But God calls us to a newer sight. One that helps us get out of the desert by going through the desert.
