Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus

Before prayer this morning after looking at the feast day I pondered the fact that after every mass we, Gods people, are sent to share the good news. 

Morning prayer has this passage from Psalm 24

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, 

the world and all its peoples. 

It is he who set it on the seas;

on the waters he made firm.

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?

Who shall stand in his holy place?

The man with clean hands and pure heart, who desires not worthless things, who has sworn so as not to deceive his neighbor.

He shall receive blessings from the Lord and reward from the God who saves him.

Such are the men who seek him, seek the God of Jacob. 

So back to my original reflection. If we are sent, how do we respond?

Sometimes the closest anyone will get to Jesus is through us. Will they see him? Will they feel his presence? Will they come to know his love? 

See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called children of God. Yet so we are.

In our every day ordinary dealings with those around us let us never forget we are.
