Homily of the Day

There is some difficulty for people when it comes to understanding one another. The message tends to get a bit skewed due to personal biases or interpretations. What’s shared doesn’t necessarily mean that it gets understood.

Jesus probably had those same challenges when he told the Jews that he was going away and they couldn’t follow. They were assuming among themselves that he was going to kill himself because they wouldn’t be able to end up where he was going. Little did they realize that he was talking about another plane of existence.

The preaching of Jesus challenged those who heard him that he was speaking with authority from the Father. They would probably comprehend later on when he was to be lifted up on the cross because that would be the supreme sign of his faithfulness that comes from the Father’s unending mercy.. Thankfully, even if others found it difficult to believe, many of those who listened were filled with the grace to find their faith in him.

May we continue to ask God the Father to guide us in truly knowing His Son. As Jesus strives to remain faithful to what his Father wishes, let us pray to be that consistent, persistent, and filled with zeal to serve Our Lord. At first, it can be quite a chore to really get into the mindset of Christ, but the grace of divine revelation is only a prayer away.
