Gospel Reflection – Tuesday, June 3, 2025
Dear brothers and sisters, peace and all good.
“The hour has come.” Those words from Jesus were probably one of the most intense moments in His farewell to His friends. It’s one thing to know your Master is in danger, and another to hear that it’s all going to happen now. And with how “slow” (no offense) they were to understand Him, those four words may have finally woken them up. There was no more time for excuses, no more delays. The moment had come.
In our lives, there are also moments that arrive—whether we like it or not. Being born, starting school, growing up, having to choose a profession, deciding whether to marry or not… Many of these moments just come to us—and sometimes they feel more like a crash than a meeting. Because we’re not always ready. We think we have everything under control, and then life surprises us.
Today might be a good day to think about our relationship with God. We don’t know when, but for each of us, “the hour” will come. At the hour of our death, we’ll have our final meeting with God. And how that moment goes will depend on how we have lived. Because eternal life doesn’t start after we die—it begins here and now, in how we relate to God and to our brothers and sisters. Later may be too late. Today, there’s still time.
Christ made God’s glory visible in our world. That’s why He became human. And through His example, Jesus invites us to live in a way that makes God’s glory visible in us. And the way to do that, of course, is through love. That’s the sign by which people will know we are His disciples.
He also calls us to live so that His glory shines through us—that His love and truth become visible in our lives. Like Paul, we are invited to share God’s plan with everyone we meet along the way.
Your brother in faith,
