The anticipation in the vision of the sacraments 1. The disciples see Jesus act among the crowds, they follow him, and they watch him, the Lord healing the sick and forgiving the sinners. They will see the glorious light of the Lord Jesus on Mount Tabor. All the gospel readings seem to tell us that seeing is not something optional for a person who wants to recognise Jesus as the Lord.
Faith derives from seeing.
Herod waits for the news before going himself. The magi go and see. Jesus does not belong to this world any more, but his disciples will see him alive, risen, in a vision that besides being sensitive, will also have to be a spiritual one, in faith. The anticipation in the vision of the sacraments During the liturgy today we can see Salvation which has become a sign in the sacrament. We meet the Lord Jesus during the liturgy and we should be able to recognise him in the signs and words as the disciples of Emmaus did.
