FRIDAY 1st APRIL 2022
John 7, 1-2.10.25-30:
“Then Jesus, while he was teaching in the temple, cried out”.
Jesus senses the final outcome of his life in Jerusalem. And on the Jewish feast of the Tents he secretly goes up to the Holy City.
But once there, he cannot keep the truth quiet and, without fear, he begins to teach in the temple. If only we were all as free to speak about God as Jesus was!
If only we would all bear witness to our faith openly and fearlessly!
Sometimes we cower and hide so as not to show our faces when we have to shout loudly.
And today we are the voice of Jesus! And that voice must be heard clearly in the midst of other voices in our world that shout the opposite. Don’t be intimidated when you have to shout God, fraternity, justice, forgiveness, Jesus….
Do not let yourself be imprisoned or blocked by fear when you have to speak of your Father. Speak of your faith and of God’s action in your life without fear.
Good day.
