Our old way of understanding our neighbour and loving them crumbled. If Christ was in some way in everyone, discriminations couldn’t be made, nor could preferences. Our normal way of reasoning of classifying people was thrown into the air: fellow country man or foreigner, old or young, beautiful or ugly, likeable or not, rich or poor, Christ was behind each one, Christ was in each one. ‘Another Christ’ really was each neighbour – if grace enriched his soul – or ‘another Christ’, a Christ proud – if he was still far from Him. Living like this, we realised that our neighbour was our way to reach God.
