From Jennifer Rothschild - C.S. Lewis says in “The Weight of Glory” that there are no ordinary people. That you, a person of Christ, have never encountered a mere mortal. In context of Lewis’ message, he observed that each of us bear the likeness and reflect the glory of the Creator. In each encounter, there is a sacredness that carries the weight of glory. Next to Christ Himself, our brothers and sisters in the faith are the holiest things around us. Have you noticed? Have you seen the sacred in the secretary, the school bus driver or the second grade girl who rides her bike down your street? Have you observed God’s glory in a gardener or grocery clerk? There are no ordinary people. Have you noticed? What if you and I really accept the truth that nothing is truly ordinary? There are no moments and no people where God’s glory can’t be glimpsed. Maybe that’s what Jesus meant when He talked about the hungry and prisoners? Maybe that’s what He referred to when He said, “If you have done it to the least of these, you have done it unto Me.” The sacred is always with us. Let’s live like it.
