TODAY'S WORD

John: 3:36 "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but must endure God’s wrath."


TODAY'S REFLECTION

FIRST READING

1st reading, Peter and the apostles witnessed to this by saying that "Obedience to God comes before obedience to men".

But that also means we have reflected and discerned what the will of God is.

God gives the Holy Spirit without reserve for those who truly obey Him.


GOSPEL

According to today’s gospel reading, God gives the Spirit to Jesus without reserve. 

God gave all to Jesus without reserve, and what Jesus received from God he has given to us, without reserve. 

However, there will always be a reserve in our receiving. 

We struggle to empty ourselves sufficiently to receive all the Lord wants to give us. 

We spend our lives learning to receive like little children. 

The greater our capacity to receive from the Lord’s fullness, the greater will be our ability to give as we have received. 

As Jesus received all from God and gave what he received to us, so Jesus looks to us to receive all from him and to give what we receive to one another. 

We are to keep receiving from Jesus all he wishes to give us, his word, his Spirit, his love, so that, like Peter in today’s first reading, we can witness to him before others.


RESOLUTION

Let's resolve to know what God wants of us and continue in life to journey towards heaven and to help others go on that way too.

Have a blessed day

*Let's storm the Heavens through our prayers to end this Pandemic.*
