Today's Gospel

When you have lifted up the Son of Man,
then you will know that I am he.

John 8:21-30

John 8:21-30

Jesus said to the Pharisees: “I am going away and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I
am going you cannot come.” So the Jews said, “He is not going to kill himself, is he, because he said, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?” He said to them, “You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I told you from the beginning. I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world.” They did not realize that he was speaking to them of the Father. So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.” Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him.

Divine Contradictions

Taken from: Give Us This Day

Primary among [Jesus’] seeming contraries is divine and human. It is not a problem to be solved but a mystery that invites an ever-deeper living-with, living-in. I must allow God to open my heart to rest in the reality that Jesus became one of us, and that in his depths and for our sake he embodies the dialogue of love between God and human beings.
Another of the seeming contraries that Jesus brings to wholeness is the incarnational and the eschatological, or, in simpler language, this world and the world to come, the “already” and the “not yet.” . . . [Jesus] was actively involved in caring for the genuine earthly needs of people, even strangers and outcasts, and he was outspoken about problems and issues in his time, yet he always called people beyond the present to the fullness of the Kingdom in forming their values and judging their actions.
. . . We return to Jesus’ question as addressed to each of us and to the whole community of faith: “Who do you say that I am?” We must and we do say with Peter, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” With the eyes and ears and hearts of faith, we may make this profession of faith deeply personal, deeply prayerful, and deeply transforming.

Salve Regina

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.
Hail, our life, our sweetness,
and our hope.
To you do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Your eyes of mercy towards us.
And after this, our exile,
Show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
