    Jesus Is a Peacemaker

    30 | May | 2018

    Jesus, the Blessed Child of the Father, is a peacemaker.

    His peace doesn’t mean only absence of war. It is not simply harmony or equilibrium. His peace is the fullness of well-being, gratuitously given by God.

    Jesus says, “Peace I leave to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you” (John 14:27).

    Peace is Shalom – well-being of mind, heart, and body, individually and communally. It can exist in the midst of a war-torn world, even in the midst of unresolved problems and increasing human conflicts. Jesus made that peace by giving his life for his brothers and sisters. This is no easy peace, but it is everlasting and it comes from God.

    Are we willing to give our lives in the service of peace?

    Jesus Is Pure of Heart

    29 | May | 2018

     

    Jesus, the Beloved of God, has a pure heart.

    Having a pure heart means willing one thing. Jesus wanted only to do the will of his heavenly Father. Whatever Jesus did or said, he did and said it as the obedient Son of God: “What I say is what the Father has taught me; he who sent me is with me, and has not left me to myself, for I always do what pleases him” (John 8:28-29).

    There are no divisions in Jesus’ heart, no double motives or secret intentions. In Jesus there is complete inner unity because of his complete unity with God.

     

    Becoming like Jesus is growing into purity of heart. That purity is what gave Jesus and will give us true spiritual vision.

    Jesus Hungers and Thirsts for Uprightness

    27 | May | 2018

    Jesus, the Blessed Son of God, hungers and thirsts for uprightness.

    He abhors injustice. He resists those who try to gather wealth and influence by oppression and exploitation. His whole being yearns for people to treat one another as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of the same God.

    With fervor he proclaims that the way to the Kingdom is not saying many prayers or offering many sacrifices but in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the sick and the prisoners (see Matthew 25:31-46).

    He longs for a just world. He wants us to live with the same hunger and thirst.

    Jesus Is Merciful

    28 | May | 2018

    Jesus, the Blessed Child of God, is merciful.

    Showing mercy is different from having pity. Pity connotes distance, even looking down upon. When a beggar asks for money and you give him something out of pity, you are not showing mercy. Mercy comes from a compassionate heart; it comes from a desire to be an equal. Jesus didn’t want to look down on us. He wanted to become one of us and feel deeply with us.

    When Jesus called the only son of the widow of Nain to life, he did so because he felt the deep sorrow of the grieving mother in his own heart (see Luke 7:11-17).

    Let us look at Jesus when we want to know how to show mercy to our brothers and sisters.

    Jesus Mourns

    26 | May | 2018

    Jesus, the Blessed One, mourns. Jesus mourns when his friend Lazarus dies (see John 11:33-36);

    He mourns when he overlooks the city of Jerusalem, soon to be destroyed (see Luke 19:41-44).

    Jesus mourns over all losses and devastations that fill the human heart with pain. He grieves with those who grieve and sheds tears with those who cry.

    The violence, greed, lust, and so many other evils that have distorted the face of the earth and its people causes the Beloved Son of God to mourn.

    We too have to mourn if we hope to experience God’s consolation.
