Seeing and Staying
Wednesday after Christmas Octave
1 Jn 3: 7-10; Jn 1: 35-42
Seeing and Staying are two progressive phases after getting in touch with the Lord. The Lord invites each of us for an encounter everyday. To accept the invitation and get in touch with the Lord is already an act of faith - for that the Lord will bless you for sure! But the invitation extends much further - to see and to stay! To see what a life with the Lord means, to know and understand it, is the next phase. While some of us do that willingly, going deeper into the Lord's invitation and finding its meaning in daily life, the invitation does not stop there. It goes further - to stay! To stay with the Lord is to be transformed in the Lord. As Paul would put it: to put on the mind of Christ (Phil 2:5); to become imitators of the Lord (1 Cor 11:1). We are called to walk in the Light (1 Jn 1:6)...we are called to Stay with the Lord!
