On April 22, 2021, Fr. Eric posted an impromptu reflection on Instagram, focusing on an episode from the Abiding Together Podcast entitled “Her Story: Mary Magdelene – Part 3” (S09 Ep. 14); and the song “I See You” by Leona Lewis in James Cameron’s “Avatar.”

Topics discussed included sharing the entirety of our hearts with the Lord, including our hopes, dreams, frailties and sorrows; and learning to see ourselves in light of God’s love, which is meant to lead us ultimately to surrender ourselves completely to His Divine Providence.

Here are the corresponding lyrics:

I see you

I see you

Walking through a dream I see you

My light in darkness breathing hope of new life

Now I live through you and you through me, enchanting

I pray in my heart that this dream never ends

I see me through your eyes

Living new life flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

I live through your love

You teach me how to see all that's beautiful

My senses touch your world I've never pictured

Now I give my hope to you, I surrender

I pray in my heart that this world never ends

I see me through your eyes

Living new life flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life

I offer my love for you

When my heart was never open

(And my spirit never free)

To the world that…
