In this reflection, Brother Joe Trout discusses Saint Juan Macias and his extraordinary love and care for the poor. Drawing parallels with the Gospel story of Jesus and the sinful woman, Brother Joe encourages viewers to see others as Christ sees them—especially the poor and outcast—recognizing their needs and offering help and compassion. Discover how Saint Juan Macias's example inspires us to go beyond material assistance and truly see, know, and walk with those in need. #SaintJuanMacias #CatholicReflection #LoveAndService Chapter Breakdown: 0:00 Intro to St. Juan Macias
