Today's gospel passage focuses on King Herod's curiosity about Jesus, about whom he had heard but never seen. (Lk 9: 7-9). The popular musical, Jesus Christ Superstar features a ragtime rhythmic recap of Herod's desire to have Jesus perform a miracle, but Jesus remains silent and Herod dismisses him as fraud.
His curiosity haunts us, however and challenges us. How much do we want to see Jesus, or to meet him? Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and currently Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament has become an effective tool helping Jesus to reach people and draw them to himself. Our baptism gives us the Divine Life of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit within our souls..Thus Jesus can be found in the heart and face of the baptized. We don't have to go far to see him, nor do we have to sing and dance in ragtime. It's much simpler than that, if we see with the eyes of faith.
