reflection for the rest of us back to the time
of our First Communion as well.
Remembering back on the excitement of that
day reminds us of what a gift we have in our
Lord in Holy Communion.
Today from Sacred Heart we
congratulate Hannah Heitzler and
Clara Bella VanOpdorp and from St.
Anthony’s we congratulate Ella
Anderson, Taber Fulks, Alexander
Moe, Colin Orwig, Kolten SchmollBurton, Carter VanOpdorp, and
Stormie Wancket
Reflecting on God’s Word…
As a nation, we are a mobile people. Not only do we
travel around during vacations, for special events, and
for visiting family and friends, but we readily move
from one place to another for college, work, health
reasons, and finally retirement. While previous generations usually stayed with one job and in one house for
practically all of their lives, today it is common to
move from one place to another, to a different state or
even to a different us from one set of friends to another, from one close relationship to another.
So Jesus’ admonition to remain in his love can sound
quite challenging to people whose lives are characterized by chance and impermanence. The word
“remain” is sometimes translated as “abide.” The
meaning of the invitation is to “take up permanent
residence.” Last week Jesus called us to “remain” in his
word; this week, to “remain in my love” (John 15:9).
Jesus tells us how to do this (by keeping his commandments), why we should do this (so that his joy might
be in us and our joy complete), what specifically we
should do (love one another as I have loved you, that
is, by laying down my life for you), and what is to be
gained by doing this (an ongoing friendship with him
that bears fruit and gains whatever we ask the Father in
his name).
Not a bad exchange for settling down...in his love.
