Peace on Earth - Day 14: Do You Recognize Jesus? | Feast of St. Lucy

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Lucy, a saint whose name means light — and today’s Gospel invites us to ask a powerful Advent question:

Do you recognize Jesus when He is right in front of you?

In this reflection, Father Jonathan connects the beautiful traditions of St. Lucy with the Gospel theme of sight and recognition. Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus failed to recognize Jesus until the breaking of the bread, we are invited to reflect on where — and how — we see Christ today.

In this video, we’re invited to consider:
• Do we recognize Jesus in the Eucharist?
• Do we recognize Him in Adoration?
• Do we recognize Him in the people we encounter each day — even the difficult ones?
• And do we trust that Jesus recognizes us, even when others don’t?

This Advent reflection reminds us that Christ is alive — in the Mass, in the Eucharist, in our neighbor, and in you. And even when we feel unseen or unrecognized, Jesus knows us, sees us, and loves us.

As we continue this Advent journey, let us pray for the grace to recognize truth, goodness, and beauty — and to become the saints God is calling us to be.
