Like Jesus, perform acts of love in the open for all to see, reader says

Daniel Conway’s editorial on All Hallows Eve (Halloween) in the Oct. 31 issue of The Criterion was a good read.

One line of his really jumped out at me:

“On Halloween, we enjoy wearing masks and costumes, hiding behind the often outrageous characters who people our imaginations. Holiness, on the other hand, is transparent and accountable. It shines brightly like the rising sun illuminating the truth and radiating light and life to all.”

Yes, exactly! Jesus didn’t come in mask and costume, and his acts of love were done in the open for all to see.

We would do well to follow Jesus’ example.
