Week 37 - The Journey
"Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed). Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter)." John 1:40-42
Gaze into the deep. John the Baptist conveyed the message of God, that created desire as they were waiting on the Anointed One. His words and his ways spoke of the Divine mystery. Now He was here and Jesus will transform lives as Son of God.
Andrew had been given the same gift so when he tells his brother Simon, the desire for truth takes over. Jesus knows this desire within man. Our mission and purpose is to convey the message of God so Jesus can enter the picture. It is He who transforms lives, we are just the messenger.
The gaze into the deep is experiencing God, it is seeing the Trinity beyond the words. The mystery is experienced in daily prayer. Each day I go, the Gift is waiting to receive me and when I return, a little part of me has changed. "and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God."" John 1:36

What is God saying to me? I Am God.
Dear Father, thank You for the Divine Mystery and the joy that comes when looking into Your eyes. There have been many encounters over my lifetime, most of them I did not recognize. Today, I slow down so I can encounter You in that small whisper. Prayers for all those who have the desire and are seeking You out in the stillness. John the Baptist found You there and so can we. I ask that John the Baptist intercede on our behalf so our own commitment to Jesus will be generous and wholehearted. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Model of Workmen, Pray for us.
