Friday of the 7th week of Eastertide

To follow Jesus John 21:15-19 Jesus said to Peter, " when you grow old,  you will stretch out your hands,  and somebody else will put a belt round you  and take you where you would rather not go.’  Afterwards, Jesus said, "Follow me." We followed the Lord ever since we were baptised.  Our responsibility is to explore God's world. We followed Jesus when we were confirmed.  During that time we resolve to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ. We followed Jesus we were ordained, got married, or took a solemn oath of chastity, poverty, and obedience.  From then on, our lives  become a series of incidents of following Jesus. We are to follow Jesus, even to situations or places we don't want to go.  But He leads us by the hand and gives us life and for others, life through us. Unless we follow Jesus, our lives are useless.

comunio John 17:20-26 "That they may be one as you and I are one..."  These words of Jesus point to "comunio", or total unity with God and with one another. Comunio is the theme of heaven itself, our dream of being with the Lord for all eternity. Comunio is our total unity with one another; if we possess the very heart and mind of God through Jesus, he will lead us to unite with others in love. Comunio is our mission to unite heaven and earth.  That is why even after the Lord ascended to heaven, the mission of evangelization continues.
