This past week I was sharing some picture books with my grandchildren. The books had a place in the back of the book to put a picture of the child. Then and each page has the face cut out, so you can imagine yourself in the story. We had a lot of fun with the different scenarios and switching the picture in the back with other family members.
Although this may seem like child's play, it could benefit adults. Imagine if you were the face of one of the apostles, one of the lepers, or one of the Pharisees. What if we pictured ourselves as the parish priest, the neighbor next door, or the coworker everyone avoids. It's often easier to judge others when we aren't wearing their shoes. This week, try to see the world from someone else's point of view. You may discover there are details that you have never noticed before. It may bring new clarity to Jesus's command to love your neighbor as yourself.
