Thursday of the 3rd week of Eastertide
Gospel – John 6:44-51
“No one can come to me unless he is drawn by the Father who sent me…” This is the key to our relationship with Jesus Christ. We must understand our sonship. We are sons and daughter of God the Father. We must understand the Fatherhood of God the Father. Unless we understand the love of God the Father, we cannot come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, the only son of that Father. The filial relationship with God the Father is that keeps us close to Jesus. “They will all be taught by God, and to hear the teaching of the Father, and learn from it, is to come to me”. So, when we are close to the Father, we go to the Son to see the face of the Father. Because no one has seen the Father except the Son. So in Son, we see the face of the Father. Let’s reflect: Easter is seeing the face of God the Father in Jesus Risen.
