Stewardship Message: Those who obey the commandments,
Jesus says in today’s Gospel, are the ones who really love Him.
Does my stewardship reveal my love for Jesus?
A Reflection of the Gospel from Living Liturgy
2017: Self-will is a form of self-assertion whereby we establish
boundaries around ourselves, determine our own destiny, protect
ourselves from doing what we don’t want to do. In this gospel
Jesus is telling his disciples to “keep my commandments.” He is
shaping our self-wills in a way well beyond choosing simple
actions. He is drawing us out of ourselves and our self-will into
him and his self-giving.
There is more to what Jesus is saying than meets the eye.
When Jesus says to keep his commandments as a sign of our
love for him, he is not only speaking about simple laws or
commands. He is saying the if we love him, we will believe as he
believed, lived as he lived. Loving Jesus as he asks requires us to
believe and live in such a way that others know the resurrection is
real, that Jesus is really present, that Jesus still cares for us
deeply.
For the most of us we are already doing what we need to do to
be good Christians; what more is needed is to recognize that
these good actions are the way we keep Jesus’ commandments
and express our believing in him. In other words, his
commandments are pretty simple to know: love as he loved,
believe as he believed, be self-giving as he was, do the Father’s
will as he did. Most of all, keeping his commandments means
opening ourselves to the Spirit who dwells within us and makes
us like the risen One.
Prayer in Time of Sickness: Dear Jesus, You suffered and
died for us. Teach me to understand my suffering as You do.
Help me to bear my suffering in union with You. Lead me to
offer my suffering with Yours in atonement for my sins, so as to
bring Your grace to souls in need.
Calm my fears and strengthen my trust in You, Loving Lord.
May I come to accept Your holy will, and become more like You
through the trials in my life. If it be Your will, restore me to
health so that I may offer my efforts and energies for Your honor
and glory, and for the good of all humanity. Amen.
