RCL Reflection for the Seventh Sunday of Easter, Year A, May 24, 2020.
Jesus “tags” his closest followers as ITs, as itinerant travelers (aka disciples) through this world bearing his love, seeing through his eyes, caring with his open arms, and grounded by his feet moving in prayer and action. It’s our turn now, and we are being equipped and are never alone. We are the ITs of our time and place. We’ve been tagged. We have holy work to do. (Photo: Public.Resource.org, Creative Commons)
Revised Common Lectionary reflection, Seventh Sunday of Easter, Year A, May 28, 2017
Listen. Can you hear the voice of Jesus praying for you? Can you feel yourself surrounded by his love for you and for this world? Can you feel in the words of John’s gospel this week what it means to be in Christ, to be covered with his abiding love and the divine desire for relationship? Can you sense the power of prayer as these words enter your mind, heart, and being? Listen again. Breathe in the power of prayer. Now, go and share that power with others so that all may know Christ’s love. (Photo: David Morris, Creative Commons)
