The bible and I John 15:12-17 I believe that quite analogically, my life should be the living bible of the Lord. Whatever happens to the bible happens to my life. If there are things that don't have any connection with God's word, it is not coming from the Holy Spirit. I am the embodiment of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit works in me.  I should be an instrument of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel message is so beautiful.  "Love one another as I have loved you."  Whatever love is in our hearts, it should mirror Jesus' love for us. "I call you friends, not servants..." marks our relationship with one another. "I chose you..." simply means that it is Jesus who leads us.  Every task we do in this world should arise from being chosen to do Jesus' task.

witnessing for Jesus John 6:30-35 St. Stephen mirrored Jesus in the gospel for today as he faced the Pharisees.   What is a witness?  Someone with a deep faith, even though he has not seen Jesus is a true witness as he is also giving witness to the very testimony of Jesus himself.  What are the signs to this testimony? First, Stephen gave witness to the truth as he tried to reprimand the Jews.  Jesus is faithful to the truth. Second, Stephen gave witness to the glory of Jesus.  Jesus invites the people to have faith in him as the bread of life. Third, Stephen prayed for his enemies.  Jesus' as the humble Messiah is the way to the forgiveness of sins. Let us mirror Jesus through and through!
