ISAIAH 49:1-6
JOHN 13:21-33, 36-38

At the Last Supper, as Jesus speaks of being betrayed, it is precisely
in that betrayal that He says, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and
God is glorified in Him.” The apostles did not understand this. How is
it possible that God is glorified when something so evil is about to
befall Jesus?
It is only in the Crucifixion of Jesus that we are able to understand
this. Saint Paul tells us, “The Cross of Christ is a stumbling block to
the Jews and it is an absurdity to the Greeks; but for those who
believe, it is the power of God.” And so we are the ones who are able
to recognize the power of God shining through the Cross of Christ.
This has to color everything that happens in our own lives. The
challenge before us is to recognize the glory of God shining through
human weakness. As with Jesus, it is when we are betrayed, when we are
rejected, when it appears that we have toiled uselessly and for nothing
spent our strength, that God is glorified and we are glorified in him.

Finally,
we pray
for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who
need our prayers the most.
Have a
good day!
