Seeing the Face of God

About this sermon

Brother Sean Conrad recalls a time when he visited a deformed girl in a small apartment in the Bronx. Her legs and arms were the size of a three-year old’s, but the rest of her body was that of a twelve-year old’s. In this girl, Brother Conrad saw the face of joy, the face of beauty, and—he dares to say—the face of God. As it says in Matthew 25:40, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.” Father Mark-Mary reminds us that it is in these moments that God reaches out to us, often in the distressed disguise of the poor and lonely.
