Memorial of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Religious - John 1:35-42
The Gospel begins today with John
the Baptist standing with some of disciples. As Jesus walks by them, John says
to his disciples: “Behold the Lamb of God!” John’s disciples immediately leave
John and follow Jesus. After a time, Jesus realized that these men were following
Him. Jesus turns to them and asks them what they are looking for. However, they
do not answer Jesus’ question. Instead they ask Jesus where He is staying.
Jesus simply tells them to “come and see.”
Today Jesus is asking us: “what are
you looking for?” Take a moment and ask yourself: what are you looking for at
this time in your life? What do you need or desire? We don’t always take the
time to reflect on our desires. Do we simply desire more money, fame, or
influence? Or do we long for peace, hope, or contentment? We all have needs and
desires! Today, Jesus is waiting to hear our response to His question. I pray
that we will open the door of our hearts today and invite Jesus to come and
spend time with us. What a wonderful gift to receive!
