Thursday of the 7th week of Eastertide
Gospel – John 17:20-26
“I have made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them,
and so that I may be in them”. These Words of Jesus bring out the whole mystery of incarnation. Jesus became man because He wanted us to know about the love of Father. In every action and word of Jesus Christ, He made us know the love of the Father. In Jesus we see the face of the Father. By knowing the love of the Father, His love is going to be in us. When Son became man, the entire humanity got the love of the Father. In the Ascension, the Son ascended into heaven but also the entire humanity. So, the love with which the Father loved the Son is still in us. He is in us. He is the vine, and we are the branches. This dynamism of love with Jesus is realized in the Holy Spirit. Let’s reflect: Let’s pray for the Holy Spirit so that we understand the dynamism of God’s love in the relationship between Jesus Christ and us.
