Dear Fathers, Friends in Christ,
Isaiah 49:1-6
Psalm 71:1-2, 3-4a, 5ab-6ab, 15 and 17
John 13:21-33, 36-38
Who Is It Lord?
Someone will betray me, Jesus tells us.
Who? Who is it? We ask.
Do we ask because we fear it is ourselves? Whenever we turn into ourselves and neglect the opportunities God presents us, we betray Jesus.
But that is not the end for us. God offers opportunity time and again. And if we remember the bitterness of that feeling, we will learn from it. Fewer and fewer will be the times when we fail Him. This is the week we focus on those times, but the purpose is not to wallow in misery, but rather to learn and to do better at the next opportunity.
