St Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774 – 1821)
Gospel – John 1:35-42
Listening to John the Baptist, the disciples asked Jesus “Where do you live?” They wanted to see where Jesus is living. They went and saw where he live, and stayed with him the rest of that day. Andrew was one of the disciples. And staying with Jesus, Andrew testified to Simon Peter that “We have found the Messiah”. And then took Simon Peter to Jesus. What happened when the two disciples stayed with Jesus. They felt liberated, they felt saved. And the answer of Jesus, “Come and See” is important. This experience of liberation or salvation is not something that can be taught or be read. This is to be with Jesus and to see with one’s own eyes. The disciples were with Jesus and saw with their own eyes. Let’ reflect: We must stay with Jesus to have the liberation experience which comes from Him.
