For the Ride Home
Fifth Sunday of Easter (B)
May 10, 2009
Scripture
•…he reported to them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him (Acts 9:27)
•And I will live for the Lord, (Psalm 22:31) •… the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit he gave us. (1 John 3:24b) •Remain in me, as I remain in you. (John 15:4a) •If you remain in me and my words remain in you… (John 15:7a) Reflection
•Can you describe closeness in a way more intimate than “Remain in me as I remain in you”?
•Why does Jesus invite you to “remain in me”? •Does “remain” describe the eternity or timelessness of becoming one in Jesus? For the Word of God became a human being that we might become God; and he manifested himself in a body, that we might gain an idea of the invisible Father; and he endured insolence from men, that we might inherit immortality. (Athanasius)1 1 Louth, Andrew, The Wisdom of the Greek Fathers, Westminster Press: Louisville, KY, 2000, p. 16 For the Ride Home is available for publication in your parish bulletin. Please contact Ted Bergh for details, or to communicate any
questions or feedback. Ted Bergh is a free-lance writer serves on the advisory board of St. Anthony Messenger Press.
