Tuesday of the Seventh Week of Easter - John 17:1-11a
“I have made your name known to those whom you gave me.” What powerful words and what a wondrous gift
Jesus gave to his disciples! Take a
moment and think back to your childhood.
Who was it that introduced you to God and to Jesus? Was it your parents or was it the priests,
sisters, or teachers in your parish or at your school? Was God manifested to you in the beauty of
nature? Perhaps it was all of the above!
The question for us today is: How are we making Jesus’ name
known to the people in our lives? Think about that for a moment. How do you strive to share Jesus’ love,
compassion and generosity to the people in your life? It may be through the simple and repetitive
acts of the daily or it might be through reaching out to someone who is
struggling. When we strive to share
Jesus’ love and care with others, we are making Jesus known to them.
Who is who makes Jesus known to you? How do they do that? Is it by their care and appreciation of who
you are? Did they do something to make
your day brighter? Today I invite you to
be mindful of the small yet wondrous gifts of care and love the people in your
life share with you. Give thanks for their
goodness and love! And give thanks for
the goodness and love of Jesus!
