Throughout His life, Jesus had one human person with whom He shared a very similar intimacy to that with His Father. Of course, that was His mother, Mary. A closeness with His disciples began to develop after they returned from their first mission trip. Why? Because they took to heart what Jesus shared so much that others benefited from their words and prayers.
God, His Father, will no longer be seen as a distant celestial being unreachable by humans. Through His divine Son, we can know our Heavenly Father as someone who involves Himself in our everyday joys and sorrows. We heard in today’s Gospel that Jesus shared His happiness with His Father. Later, He shared His deep sorrow for us with His Father before going to the Cross.
Just as the disciples were blessed to see and hear what they heard, we are blessed because we can share in the same intimacy that Jesus offers. This closeness fosters deep trust in Jesus during both good times and challenging times. He wants us to realize that there’s nothing we cannot bring to the Father through Him.
Gospel Challenge: Let us open ourselves fully to Jesus and hold nothing back. Never be afraid to be vulnerable with God. Trust naturally follows intimacy.
IGNITE THE FIRE! Please join me in praying that all baptized Catholics be faithful to Jesus at the Holy Mass every weekend. Hail Mary, full of grace…
