In our Scriptures today we continue to look at the
experience of the disciples as they encounter Jesus. The readings speak of the meaning of
discipleship both in our internal attitudes and in our relationships with other
people. The Gospel speaks of recognizing the presence of God and of Jesus in
our daily life while the Second Reading calls us to witness to our faith with
consistency and courage. One flows from the other. To be a genuine disciple of
Jesus, it is not enough just to be “holy”, to be good but to have the courage,
when the call comes, to do difficult things.
In our relationships we are called to be Christ for one another – to see
the face of God in others. As we live
this day and every day let us always remember the words of St. Angela to, “Live
in harmony, one heart one will, search for it, long for it, embrace it with all
your strength.” In this way we will
surely be open to the presence of God in our lives.
