The Baptism of Jesus (synoptics) He follows the sinners by entering into the mud of history taking upon himself our human flesh.

Pope Francis, in his Exhortation, the Joy of Love, insists strongly on learning from the look of Christ and of adopting this look. It is a question of seeing everything through the eyes of Jesus.

Mt. 9 36 – 38 : To follow Jesus I need to take in to my contemplation all the faces I have met in my apostolic life, to remind me of their joy and hopes, their distress and hardships in order to make them my own.
