Reflection on the Gospel – Monday, July 14, 2025
Dear friends,
Today’s Word offers us a series of sayings from Jesus, meant to instruct his closest friends. He won’t always be with them, so they need to learn how to remain in his life and mission once he is gone.
Jesus comes as the Prince of Peace. But being faithful to his Word can bring conflict. It happened to Him—his own relatives didn’t understand him. And it will happen, sooner or later, to his followers.
Jesus comes to give life. But in order to do that, he must give his own life. And he leaves his followers with this paradox: “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” What a powerful life program.
Jesus will leave. But he remains in different ways: in the Eucharist, in the Word… and also in those who speak in his name and love in his name. Because wherever there is love, God is there.
Lord Jesus, here I am.
Two thousand years later,
I need you to remind me of your Word,
so I can stay centered on what truly matters,
without getting lost in what seems urgent.
Give me a listening ear and a watchful heart. Amen.
Your brother in faith,
