Reflection
Sometimes our blind spots are so ingrained that we do not even recognize their presence. We all have them. They paralyze and confuse us. Then, we may have a moment when a person, a situation, an unexpected experience enters our lives. The impact enables us to risk asking ourselves “Is there something I don’t see?” Once that question is verbalized, whether interiorly or exteriorly, change is possible.
Prayer
“Master, I want to see.”.
Action
Reflect on what prevents you from seeing objectively and clearly in a specific situation. Have you been offered a chance to ”see”? Have you taken the risk? Where are you now?
