Cardinal Mahony, Archbishop Emeritus of Los Angeles, writing in America Magazine: Lessons from Pope Francis on caring for migrants Jesus Christ taught us by word and example that we are to see his face upon the faces of all in need, and we are to respond to those faces with love, an open heart and a ready generosity: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me” (Matt. 25:35). That is the only clear and undistorted lens through which we as disciples of Jesus can properly view our brothers and sisters. When we attempt to tint or adjust that lens and see immigrants to the United States through the distortions of ignorant and mean-spirited negativity, our vision of Jesus has become blurred and we no longer see him clearly. bit.ly/178Juzx
