Who's that?

“it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:20)

Ultimately, this is all I want in life. I don’t care what people think of my looks. All I care is that they see Christ in my actions. Our culture puts so much emphasis on looks and appearance these days. And thanks to that, we are too distracted to find Christ in the stranger on the streets. Who cares how ugly I am. If I do the work of Christ, if I live the Way, I am happy enough. Because there is nothing else that can fill me to the extent that the Way, the Truth, and the Life can. After all, Christ is the perfect way to live as a human.

And isn’t this the point to Lent? Shouldn’t we work to purge from our life whatever keeps us from finding a closer union with God?
