Jesus is the Ultimate "Sign" who makes the Father and the Spirit visible to the human eye. Yet, like the people in his own time, we seek a "sign". The sign we seek is of our own making, or what we would like to see, but if we have been attentive, we've learned that God's signs are not what we expect. Again and again, he comes in the "little things", the every-day people and events that come our way...from a brilliant sunrise to a simple violet or a kind word from someone we've helped.
And as all of us are looking for signs, we might, especially during Lent, focus on being a sign for others, by our own kind words or gestures, by our own generous giving of ourselves. God is in us and works through us; by imitating the love and forgiveness or Jesus, we too can help people see what God is like.
