Come and See

My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,     Praise God!

This week we are experiencing a cold snap but this doesn’t stop us to worship and thank God for His graces that we have received. In our readings this weekend are we called to share in Jesus Christ’s Mission and Life. The two disciples of John the Baptist were invite to “Come and see.” Being a disciple of Jesus is not just a matter of learning from Him wonderful things about God and His plans for us, but being witnesses of His spectacular miracles. Also it requires us to enter into a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus. Such a relationship gives meaning and direction to our lives, makes us sharers in Christ’s eagerness to proclaim the Gospel to all, and to make the Kingdom of God strike roots in the hearts of people. This personal relationship brings out the best in us as disciples, and produces in us ever-greater “intimacy” with Jesus, in such a way that we can say with St. Paul, “I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me”. Let us pray that we deepen our relationship to Jesus who loves and meets us whoever and wherever we are? We bring all these intentions with us in our Eucharist this weekend.

God Loves you!
