WHAT DOES GOD LOOK LIKE?

If we were to ask ourselves: what does the face of God look like? How would we answer?

After Mass, a woman brought her daughter to the priest because she had a question: “Father, can you tell me what does God look like?” He responded: “Well, I'm a priest, so God looks kind of like me.” But he could tell the look on her face that she wasn't satisfied with the answer, and neither was her mother. (Try Again, Father). He said: “I'm sorry, I was trying to be funny, but it didn't work. Let me try again.” He then said: “If you do something nice for someone, then just look in the mirror. When you do something kind, you look like God.”

STORY OF TWO BROTHERS

A story was told about two brothers who inherited their father's wheat farm. They divided their land equally and each built a home on his half of the property. One brother had a wife and 5 children. The other brother was single. The brothers love each very much.

Every year, after the wheat was harvested, the older brother who had the large family worried about his younger brother, who had no one to take care of him. So the older brother, would get up in the middle of the night, fill a wagon with wheat and secretly take it to his brother's barn. But no matter how much he gave the wheat to his brother, his own supply of wheat never diminished.

Then one night on his way across the fields, he crossed paths with his brother. He also noticed that his brother was transporting a wagon full of wheat. His brother who was single, was concerned about him, who had a large family, and may not have enough income to provide for his wife and children.

Moved beyond words, the brothers ran and embraced one another. They had seen the face of God in each other.

What does God look like? After you have done something nice for someone, or when you are kind to someone, look in the mirror. You are created in the image and likeness of God. You look just like God.
