Another Padre Vaillant quote from Death Comes to the Archbishop: "One might almost say that an apparition is human vision corrected by divine love."
He was speaking about the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe. But it would be true of anything. The eyes of Faith have us see differently, especially people. Ordinary people become special when see through the eyes of Faith. In fact, Bishop Latour explains
deeper, "I do not see you as you really are, Joseph (Padre Vaillant); I see you through my affection for you. The Miracles of the Church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always."
Amen to that.
