SCRIPTURE INSIGHTS WEEKDAY READINGS

Today’s readings focus on the wondrous works of God. The Church continues to grow as the power of God works through the teaching and healing ministry of the Apostles, and the ultimate expression of the Father’s love is realized in Jesus, who promises that the “Spirit of truth” will come to those whom the Father loves. As one of those chosen by the leaders in Jerusalem to help with the spread of the Gospel, Philip goes into Samaria. Jesus himself often confronted the historical division between Samaritans and Jews. The response to Philip is amazing, and there “was great joy in that city.” The power of the Word of God brings conversion and joy. The palmist is inspired by the “tremendous deeds of the Lord” and urges the faithful to praise God continuously. Those “tremendous deeds” of the Lord shaped the history of the people of God, and continue through the saving action of Jesus Christ. In today’s passage from the first Letter of Peter, the writer holds up the suffering of Christ as a source of hope for the community of believers. Whatever calamity might befall them, they should hold fast and know that their own suffering will be a witness of their faith to others. Whatever criticism they receive, they must respond with gentleness and reverence. In this way they will imitate Jesus himself. The Gospel verses come from another of Jesus’ Last Supper discourses—his teachings for the Apostles before his Death and Resurrection, assuring them that the Advocate would come soon. During Easter Time, however, the message is clearly intended for all believers as a teaching for living in this time and with the grace of the Resurrection. We learn that to express our love of the Lord and to enter into the intimacy of the love between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we must follow the Commandments. How is the Lord’s presence in the world described in the

readings? What are the signs of this presence in the world today? What actions of the Lord in your life lead you to sing the

Lord’s praises?
