And if we take the risk of personally touching and being touched by a suffering person, the miracle of sight can break into our own darkness.
When the clarity of compassion illuminates our vision, we can visualize healing that goes far deeper than physical cure. Through eyes of faith we recognize that this could be an opportunity for tragedy to be transformed into celebration so that the power of God may be seen at work in him and in her.
And even more amazing , when we stoop to personally touch one of these “undesirables” with hands-on care, we are touching the very heart of God :
“I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers [and sisters] of mine, you did for me”
