John 15:9-17 – Sunday of the Sixth Week of Easter
The Scripture scholars who put together the cycle of readings for the daily readings must have thought we need to hear this passage from John once again. We heard this portion of this passage from John this past Thursday and Friday. However, it may be important that we listen and reflect on these words once again. Do you remember what your thoughts were on this passage a few days ago?
Today I invite you to slowly reread this passage and then choose one word or phrase that speaks to you or draws your attention. Then take some time to quietly sit with those words for a few moments. In the quiet, have an open mind and heart and wait patiently. Let your word or phrase speak to you. Try not to “think” too much. Rather, listen with your heart!
After a time, ask yourself: what is this word or phrase saying to me? Jesus is speaking to you in these few short words. What do you hear him saying to you? Listen with an open mind and heart for 5-10 minutes. Jesus will speak but it may not be in words! Simply listen! Be patient!
