Drawn by our Daddy!!!
Acts 8: 26-40; Jn 6: 44-51
The readings taken together have a wonderful message for us... if we are christians, it is not by chance! It is by choice... not ours, but the Lord's. You did not choose me, I chose you, says the Lord.
We have come to know the Lord, drawn by our Father and Mother in heaven! It is the Lord who has willed to draw us to Godself. Our 'yes' at Baptism and a reassertion of it at Confirmation are our response to this initiative of God. The point of discussion is, whether we are faithful to the yes all our life, at every moment of our daily life.
The Bread of life and the Blood of the new and everlasting covenant, are the nourishment in this journey. All through the journey the Lord accompanies us and instructs us... if we really listen, we will soon realise how special we are; and how we are drawn by our daddy!
