# THE GAZE
One of the intriguing elements of the logo is the gaze of the two persons depicted... two pairs of eyes but one shared between two. There have been even some anti-catholic elements which have attributed some diabolic interpretations to this. They are only to be pitied, for having missed the depth of the meaning offered here.
We are aiming at being merciful like the father. Being Merciful like the Father, is possible only when we understand the Father fully - how do we understand someone whom we have not seen? John explains it in the prologue to his Gospel (Jn 1:18): "No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known." It is Jesus, the Face of the Mercy of God who has made God known to us. It is Jesus who showed us, what it means to be merciful like the Father. It is Jesus who reveals to us, how the Merciful God sees and invites us to SEE AS GOD SEES!
God sees every one as God's sons and daughters, however unworthy we might be. To see as God sees would mean that I see everyone as my brother and my sister, without judging them to be deserving or not of my love and acceptance. It means to be loving, forgiving, forbearing, patient and kind as God is. I am challenged to see as God would see, to think as God would think, to love as God would love, to do good as God would do, to be merciful as God is.
The Call here is to share the eye of Christ, to share the vision of Christ, to share the mind of Christ: To see as God sees!
