FEAST OF SAINT GREGORY BARBARIGO, BISHOP OF PADUA AND CARDINAL – 18th JUNE

THE 17th OF JUNE
JESUS IMPARTED TO THE DISCIPLES WHAT HE RECEIVED FROM FATHER GOD
“Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.” – John 17:7-8
After spending more than three years with the Lord, the disciples finally understood that all that Jesus gave and told them truly came from God. It was not easy to be around Jesus in human form and see Him live life as a human being. Even if Jesus was perfect in all He did, He proved to them that He knew their thoughts and feelings and He performed so many miracles.
It was still very hard for the disciples to believe that their Teacher was God, the Messiah, the Son of God, the One awaited by the Jews for so long. Even if the Holy Spirit was not yet living in them, eventually they finally believed who Jesus was. All the lessons that Jesus taught to the disciples (and to us too, through the Bible), were the full manifestation of who the Father was, is and will be forever.
When we truly believe that God sent Jesus and all He did was God’s will, we cannot do anything else but obey God. As a result, we start to benefit of all the blessings that come with the state of being God’s children.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Father for sending Your Son into this world, to teach us how to live right, by being the perfect example. Please help me to walk in Jesus’ footprints and do it all as unto You Father, glorifying Your holy Name. Dear Jesus, please help me receive all Your teachings, advice and direction, following You step by step. Glory and honor to You forever. Amen
