Seventh Sunday of Easter - Year A
Jn 17:1-11a
Eternal life is to know God
"This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ" (v. 3)
How often do we value the knowledge of God as it deserves? We study and learn many things. We spend years of hard work to acquire knowledge and train for various careers. But the only one thing that matters is that we know God.
Jesus came to reveal God's name to us. “I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world." Thanks to Him, we are saved and now, we belong to God (v. 6).
We, as followers of Christ, have the same mission, that is to reveal God name to the whole world, so that all we come to know God and have life, eternal life.
That is not an easy job. But we can do it, because we are not alone. Moreover, Jesus prays for us with the Father (v.9).
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
This blog intends to provide readers an opportunity to be nourished by the Word of God. It invites readers to read, reflect and pray the Gospel passage that they will hear during the upcoming Sunday's Liturgy. With the commentaries provided, readers have the possibility of studying and meditating on the Word. Finally, readers are invited to share their reflections, thus creating an on-line lectio divina/faith sharing group, and so sustaining each other in the faith and the love for God's Word.
