Jesus said to his apostles: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.””Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple— amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.” Matthew 10:37-42

Today’s Gospel teaches that we must love God above all else. We should love God more than father, mother, son, or daughter. Jesus is not saying we should diminish our love for family. The only way to truly love others is to love God first. We must ensure that we do not become disordered in our affections and let it replace the ultimate good – God. Reflect today on whether your affections are rightly ordered or do they sometimes compete with the charity God desires to instill in you? If so, then turn you heart to God and seek to love Him above all else. When God is first it will transform you from within enabling you to love others with the very love of Christ.

Jesus said to the Twelve: “Fear no one. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.” Matthew 10:26-33

Jesus said to the Twelve: Go forth and preach the Word even though there will be those who want to kill or harm you. However, you cannot be destroyed as your body can be destroyed but not your soul. Only God can destroy the soul as He is all knowing and all powerful. The same is true for us as we go forth and proclaim without fear the Lord is our Savior. We must align ourselves to God’s commands. If we acknowledge Jesus, Jesus will acknowledge us before the Father.

At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”

Then he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon from Cana, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.

Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.” Matthew 9:36—10:8

“The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few”. Jesus was deeply moved with pity for those who were troubled and abandoned. Jesus instructed his disciples to do what he did: cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers and drive out demons. Reflect today on what that means for us. How can we heal those among us? We are to pick up where the disciples left off and go into the world and wherever we see lost sheep we need to show love and compassion, share the Gospel with them and proclaim the good news. Christ is our Savior and if we believe in Him we will join Him in the joyfulness of eternal life.

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.

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.
