Reflections

So the Jews said to him, “you are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area.
(John 9:57-59)

The last time you described yourself using the words, “I AM,” my Jesus, we are told that many came to believe in you. (John 8:28) Now, they accuse you of blasphemy. What would I have done?

Now that you have risen, I believe. If you were to come again today, would I accept your word? How will I know you? I am so quick to judge though I understand so little. Please open my mind and my heart.

Mary Magdalene will recognize you when you pronounce her name. Someday, you will call to me. Prepare me, Lord. Keep me faithful in praise and love.

This weekend, you will come to me in the Eucharist. Let me see just a glimpse of your glory; let me hear you beckoning. When there are quiet times, let me contemplate this encounter with joyful anticipation.
