Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” John 6:51-58

Jesus’ words were shocking to those who first heard them, as they heard Jesus speak of believers eating his flesh and drinking his blood to have eternal life. There was quarreling and division among the people who heard His words. Jesus lost some disciples as well but among the twelve disciples they all remained firm in their belief of Jesus as the Holy One of God. Reflect today on the Holy Eucharist as the greatest Divine Mystery on earth. We consume the Eucharist to become the Mystical Body of Christ and have eternal life.

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. John 3:16-18

To say God is love is not just saying it is something God does – it is who He is. God’s love is the pure eternal communion of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – a love that precedes and surpasses all creation. Because God is Love is His very essence, it flows from God abundantly. God loves because He is Love. Today’s Gospel reveals the perfect expression of God’s divine essence as God gives His Son so that we may have eternal life. God rescues us from condemnation so that we may share in His Divine Existence. To believe in the Son is to begin to participate in the love that flows between the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. A love that never ends. Reflect today on the Holy Trinity. We were made to share in Their life and love. Though the Holy Trinity remains a mystery beyond comprehension, it is not beyond human encounter. Through grace, contemplation, and prayer, God draws us to Himself, not to explain Himself, but to be consumed by Him.

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” John 20:19-23

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Pentecost. Pentecost represents the full bestowal of the Spirit on the Church, sanctifying and empowering the Apostles and all disciples. There were physical manifestations such as driving wind, the holy spirit being unseen yet powerful, moving where He wills and producing visible effects in people’s lives. The tongues of fire signifying the Spirit’s purifying and transforming action, burning away sin and igniting hearts with zeal for God’s mission. At Pentecost, the disciples received the Holy Spirit, which emboldened them to become fearless witnesses. Reflect today on the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Have you allowed the Holy Spirit to transform you? Has the power of the Holy Spirit filled you with the power from on high, emboldened you, purified you and set you on fire to fulfill the mission God has entrusted to you? The Holy Spirit will transform us – if we let Him – setting our feet on the path to glory.

Jesus said to his disciples: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows him. But you know him, because he remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” John 14:15-21

In the todays reading Jesus speaks of not leaving the disciples as orphans even though he will soon be physically leaving the disciples. Jesus is in them and they are in Jesus. Just like the disciples we too yearn to be near Jesus, longing to belong, to be loved and to be part of a family. Faith is the key to this relationship. It is the acceptance of a personal revelation from God and choosing to live according to that revelation. Faith also unites us with one another. We are no longer orphans but brothers and sisters in Christ. Reflect today on how you can experience the membership of being in God’s family today through living in accordance with God’s commandments, prayer, and daily acts of love.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:1-12

In today’s reading as Philip struggled with Jesus’ words, we too have moments of confusion with God’s ways that we have trouble grasping. The answers to questions are not always straight forward or immediate. As God reveals a kernel of truth to us, we must ponder it as the divine mystery is revealed and we understand little by little if we are open to it. Answers come as we conform our wills to God’s. Divine mysteries can only be understood through prayer and deep reflection. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Only in prayer will we discover the path we must follow, the truth we need to hear and the life we are called to live. Reflect today on something you struggle to understand. Do not lose heart but instead allow the fulness of Jesus’ divine truth to sink in gradually. Read the Gospels, spend time in prayer, be open and listen from the depths of your heart. Seek out His voice and know that He is your Way, Truth, and Life. Let Christ lead you and reveal to you the mysteries of his divine wisdom so that you too know the way to the Father.

Jesus said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.” Although Jesus used this figure of speech, the Pharisees did not realize what he was trying to tell them.

So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” John 10:1-10

In today’s reading Jesus speaks about being the Shepherd, calling His flock to follow Him. The sheep recognize His voice and follow Him. The people who listen are attuned to God and respond to Jesus as the Shepherd. The Pharisees who were prideful because of their religious knowledge did not respond to Jesus’  voice and failed to recognize Jesus as the true Shepherd. The Pharisees saw Jesus as a stranger to their religious beliefs and practices so they did not respond to his voice. Reflect today on whether you respond to Jesus’ voice or if you are like the Pharisees and dismiss His voice as that of a stranger. Familiarize yourself with Jesus and listen to His voice. You will begin to see His glory in ways you have not seen before through the eyes of faith.
