The Roman soldier standing guard at the Crucifixion of Jesus had a deeper revelation of Who He was than even those shaped by centuries of wisdom and prophecy!
This is beautiful, Father Barnabas! I have been thinking a lot about perception; how we see what we see. If we are steeped in tradition, liturgies, knowledge, etc. and somehow we allow that to be like that curtain in the Temple, we can miss really wonderful things. St.Longinus somehow had a heart open enough to receive the Truth of what was happening. What a beautiful thing!
