WHO IS THIS
JESUS?
Enter into
the stillness of God within.
Reading ”So who is this I hear such reports
about?” And he was anxious to see Jesus,
(Luke 9:1-9)
Reflection. Who is Jesus? Herod asked this question and people have been
asking it ever since. Some of us were taught the answer in our catechism: “Jesus
Christ is Son of God and Son of Mary.” We got the answer right and maybe movd
on to the next catechism question. But others
we read of in the scriptures were not so easily satisfied. Mary of Magdala, for instance, “sat at the
feet of Jesus and listened to him.” She pondered deeply in her heart who this person was. And the
question remains for each generation.
Are we merely curious and easily satisfied with answers ? Or do we long to understand and grow in a
deep love for this person who loves us so much?
Prayer. Lord, help us to know you better
and love you more and follow you more closely. Amen
