PRI Reflections on Scripture • 4-27-24 - Saturday of the 4th Week of Easter
Gospel John 14:7-14
Jesus said to his disciples: “If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to Jesus, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”
Reflection It's a challenge to believe that we have a destiny like the Christ. Jesus a human being, as we are human beings, was touched by God, filled with the spirit of the Father.
And out of that spirit and through that spirit, he was able to do all the marvelous things he was doing and to teach the truth in a way that had never been proclaimed before to the human race. And yet we are told we will participate in that same kind of life. To be an instrument of God's grace. That is what gives God the glory.
That's all He wants our permission and for us to be the source of the things the world needs. It's a privilege, but it's also the will of God. So we know it will work.
Closing Prayer Father, it's so natural for us when we see something that needs our help or needs our advice. We try to do the best that we can, and so often we're using just our own mind and our ego trying to figure out what's the right thing to do? What's the best thing to do? We have to do in place of that is make an intention that whatever is needed will be done not by us, but by the spirit flowing through us that we believe will do and accomplish whatever needs to be done. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
