7th Day with Blessed Virgin
Mystery of the day: Joyful
"...I have called you friends" (John 15:15)
Beloved in Christ, good morning with Divine dew upon you and your households. Amen.
Today, Christ certified His mission to reconcile us with His Father, by defining our relationship with Him saying:
"I have called you friends, says the Lord, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15)
There is no better gift, than that of 'true friendship' which Christ has established with us. A relationship devoid of race, sex, and every other factor or condition. Not a master-slave or conditional relationship as we at times experienced among us humans.
He established the fact that, His choice of us as friends came out of love, and not as a result of our choice. (cf. John 15:12-17)
This great call goes with a mandate to be fruitful, so that whatever we ask the Father in His name may be received.
This fruitfulness calls to mind our relationship with others, for as Christ has loved us, we can only reciprocates this kind gesture by loving one another; as He commanded us. (cf. John 15:17).
Finally, may our love for one another goes beyond mere words, but be concretized in our actions toward one another.
Peace be with you!
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you 🙏🏼
Let us pray
Grant us, Lord, we pray, that being rightly conformed to the paschal mysteries, what we celebrate in joy may protect and save us with perpetual power. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
