"Simon Peter said to him, "Master, where are you going?" Jesus answered [him], "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later."" John 13:36
Tuesday of Holy Week - A servants heart. Jesus had just washed the feet of the disciples and had reclined at table with them. Judas had been allowed to go his way and the rest were at the Masters side. Jesus was surrounded by His faithful followers and He was serving them. He knew their fears, their anxieties, their strengths and their paths forward. They each would follow in Jesus's footsteps yet Jesus knew they needed the Holy Spirit to fulfill their mission in life. Be humble of heart and allow God to lead, Judas had a hardened heart and this lead to his destruction. The others served until their days were done on this earth. We will follow one or the other for they each chose their path.
What is God saying to me: My heart is instilled in each and needs to be nurtured, it needs to be fed by My Holy Spirit otherwise it will become hardened and obstinate.
Dear Father, I see You reclining at table feeding Your disciples the finest of meals and teaching, showing the way forward by example. To recline with You is a joy and to listen to You, is a treasure. Like the first apostles, You know me through and through with all my flaws. Father, I trust in You and rely upon Your Holy Spirit to guide my steps. There are days I fall short but You are always there with open arms to wash my feet and prepare me for another day. Thank You Father for another day. Amen.
Mary, Virgin of Virgins, Pray for us.
St Joesph, pray for us.
