From Father Jim“Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father the hour has come. Give glory to your son so that your son may glorify you, just as you gave him authority over all people, so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him. Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God and the one you have sent, Jesus Christ…I pray for them.”Gifts are given. One considers who the receiver is and what that person might like or need. After deliberating a choice is made and the gift is offered. Gifts are received. One opens his hands to receive them and gratefully accept what has been chosen.
The greatest gift ever is the gift of eternal life. By His dying and rising, Jesus gave us this gift. We call it grace, the very life of God, communicated to us freely by Him and accepted. As I reflect upon this awesome care of God for me, I do not need to send a thank you note, but prayerfully take, protect and guard this incredible treasure.
My response can be my prayers of thanks to Him.
