Christ's Gaze
"The greatest miracle, which left a deep imprint on the disciples every day, was not the healing of crippled legs, the cleansing of diseased skin, nor the restoration of sight to the blind. The greatest miracle of all was that truly human gaze which revealed man to himself and which was impossible to evade. Nothing is more convincing to a man than a gaze which takes hold of him and recognizes what he is, which reveals man to himself. Jesus saw inside man."
Luigi Giussani
The Christian Claim p.53
Well, of course, being God, He did that; also read thoughts and gave predictions. In JESUS OF NAZARETH, Joseph Ratzinger writes of the wonderfully magnificent moment when the apostles stopped calling Jesus, "Rabbi" or "teacher"....but started calling him "Lord."
