Psalms 42:11

FEAST OF SAINT WILLIAM OF MONTEVERGINE – 25th JUNE

THE 24th OF JUNE
BY KNOWING GOD’S NAME, WE CAN BE FILLED WITH THE SAME LOVE THAT FATHER GOD HAS FOR JESUS
“O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” – John 17:25-26
Our Lord concludes His prayer for us by emphasizing the righteousness of His Father, that is in such opposition to this sinful world. That is why the world could not know Him. As oil and water do not mix, neither can righteousness and sin. Even a little light puts out the deepest darkness. The more we allow the light of Jesus to shine through us, the less darkness we will have around us. This means that more people will come to Jesus and those who reject Jesus will avoid us.
We belong to God if we believe that He sent Jesus, His Son, to save the world. Jesus shared who the Father is, and the meaning of His Names show us His character and attributes. The more we get to know God, the more we may receive the love with which God loves Jesus. When we have God’s love in us, we also have Jesus.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for revealing Yourself to me! I am so blessed and honored to be Your child! Please help me understand and receive more of Your love so that I may be filled with it. Thank You Father for loving me with the same love that You love Jesus with! I want to remain in You dear Jesus and You in me, every day of my life, so please give me the strength to do it! Glory and honor to Your Holy Name. Amen
