Veils

On this mountain the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast...he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples..will wipe away the tears from all faces. --Is 25:6+

and in Matt 15:29-- At this time Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain...he cured them...moved with pity (he fed them all from seven loaves and the fish)

Life is such a struggle for people. Some are struggling to survive, to stay warm, to have a roof over their heads and a job. And some have other struggles: to be seen as individuals instead of checkbooks, to be acknowledged as hard workers, or responsible employers, or dedicated volunteers, employees or parents. We put so many veils over people by our prejudices and expectations. Some people hide behind veils of their own making because living in truth is too painful. We find them lacking or too different or 'ugly' in whatever definition that may be to us, and as a result people feel valueless. Today let us look behind the veil to find the treasure God sees in us and 'feed them' what they need. This is Trekking Catholic.
