Head: the cross-eyed church

Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200
Meditation:
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, along the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
—Matthew 4:15 (NIV)

Quotation:
The Church on earth is a cross-eyed church, with one eye on God in His heavenly benediction, and one eye on the needy world of men.
... David Head, Shout for Joy, New York: MacMillan Co., 1962, p. 108 (see the book)
See also Matt. 4:15; Isa. 9:2; 32:3; 42:6-7; 61:1; Acts 6:1-4; 2 Cor. 4:6; Eph. 1:3,18-19; Heb. 12:2

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You have placed Jesus before us as we serve those in need.
