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.
The Gift of God
In this Gospel passage, Jesus refers to himself as “the gift of God.”
Jesus is the gift of God’s love. He gives us the water of eternal life. He speaks to us God’s words of truth and freedom. He is the “savior of the world.”
And Jesus, God’s gift of love, “died for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8; 2nd Reading).
“How can I repay the Lord for his goodness to me?” (Psalm 116:12)
