John 13, 21-33. 36-38

 


Jerusalem Bible (Go)21. Having said this, Jesus was deeply disturbed and declared, 'In all truth I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.' 22. The disciples looked at each other, wondering whom he meant. 23. The disciple Jesus loved was reclining next to Jesus; 24. Simon Peter signed to him and said, 'Ask who it is he means,' 25. so leaning back close to Jesus' chest he said, 'Who is it, Lord?' 26. Jesus answered, 'It is the one to whom I give the piece of bread that I dip in the dish.' And when he had dipped the piece of bread he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. 27. At that instant, after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him. Jesus then said, 'What you are going to do, do quickly.' 28. None of the others at table understood why he said this. 29. Since Judas had charge of the common fund, some of them thought Jesus was telling him, 'Buy what we need for the festival,' or telling him to give something to the poor. 30. As soon as Judas had taken the piece of bread he went out. It was night. 31. When he had gone, Jesus said: Now has the Son of man been glorified, and in him God has been glorified. 32. If God has been glorified in him, God will in turn glorify him in himself, and will glorify him very soon. 33. Little children, I shall be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and, as I told the Jews, where I am going, you cannot come. 36. Simon Peter said, 'Lord, where are you going?' Jesus replied, 'Now you cannot follow me where I am going, but later you shall follow me.' 37. Peter said to him, 'Why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.' 38. 'Lay down your life for me?' answered Jesus. 'In all truth I tell you, before the cock crows you will have disowned me three times.'

My thoughts : Come Holy Spirit , comforter, come to my assistance . We deliver Jesus with our ambitions, sadness , indifference and lack of forgiveness, but he comes to meet us and comes with a death on the cross for our deliverance .

John 11, 20-






Jerusalem Bible (G0): 20. Among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. 21. These approached Philip, who came from Bethsaida in Galilee, and put this request to him, 'Sir, we should like to see Jesus.' 22. Philip went to tell Andrew, and Andrew and Philip together went to tell Jesus. 23. Jesus replied to them: Now the hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. 24. In all truth I tell you, unless a wheat grain falls into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies it yields a rich harvest. 25. Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26. Whoever serves me, must follow me, and my servant will be with me wherever I am. If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him.
27. Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say: Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this very reason that I have come to this hour.
28. Father, glorify your name! A voice came from heaven, 'I have glorified it, and I will again glorify it.' 29. The crowd standing by, who heard this, said it was a clap of thunder; others said, 'It was an angel speaking to him.' 30. Jesus answered, 'It was not for my sake that this voice came, but for yours. 31. 'Now sentence is being passed on this world; now the prince of this world is to be driven out. 32. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all people to myself.' 33. By these words he indicated the kind of death he would die.

My thoughts: Thank you Holy Spirit blessed and praised be. Thanks Father for glorify your Son Jesus, please deliver on the cross through it to save us and deliver us from the clutches of Satan.

John 7, 40-53

Jerusalem Bible (Go). 40. Some of the crowd who had been listening said, 'He is indeed the prophet,' 41. and some said, 'He is the Christ,' but others said, 'Would the Christ come from Galilee? 42. Does not scripture say that the Christ must be descended from David and come from Bethlehem, the village where David was?' 43. So the people could not agree about him. 44. Some wanted to arrest him, but no one actually laid a hand on him. 45. The guards went back to the chief priests and Pharisees who said to them, 'Why haven't you brought him?'
46. The guards replied, 'No one has ever spoken like this man.'
47. 'So,' the Pharisees answered, 'you, too, have been led astray?
48. Have any of the authorities come to believe in him? Any of the Pharisees? 49. This rabble knows nothing about the Law -- they are damned.' 50. One of them, Nicodemus -- the same man who had come to Jesus earlier -- said to them, 51. 'But surely our Law does not allow us to pass judgement on anyone without first giving him a hearing and discovering what he is doing?' 52. To this they answered, 'Are you a Galilean too? Go into the matter, and see for yourself: prophets do not arise in Galilee.' 53. They all went home..

My thoughts: Come Holy Spirit, heal me. For me you are the Christ, I recognize that You died on the cross for me, only you have the words of eternal life and transform our lives, there is no one like you sir.

John 7, 1-2.10. 25-30




1. After this Jesus travelled round Galilee; he could not travel round Judaea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
2. As the Jewish feast of Shelters drew near, 10. However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went up as well, not publicly but secretly.25. Meanwhile some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, 'Isn't this the man they want to kill? 26. And here he is, speaking openly, and they have nothing to say to him! Can it be true the authorities have recognised that he is the Christ? 27. Yet we all know where he comes from, but when the Christ appears no one will know where he comes from.' 28. Then, as Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he cried out: You know me and you know where I came from. Yet I have not come of my own accord: but he who sent me is true; You do not know him, 29. but I know him because I have my being from him and it was he who sent me. 30. They wanted to arrest him then, but because his hour had not yet come no one laid a hand on him.



My thoughts: Come Holy Spirit, fill us with you from head to toe. Jesus is the Christ anointed by the Holy Spirit who is from God to save us and give us to know God with their teachings. Sometimes Jesus is incognito in our lives waiting for our reaction or preparing to teach us what is right to speak properly and fully aware of it now. Meanwhile I want to reflect and be your faithful witness.

Matthew 1,16.18-21.24



16. and Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary; of her was born Jesus who is called Christ. 18. This is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph; but before they came to live together she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19. Her husband Joseph, being an upright man and wanting to spare her disgrace, decided to divorce her informally. 20. He had made up his mind to do this when suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit. 21. She will give birth to a son and you must name him Jesus, because he is the one who is to save his people from their sins.' 24. When Joseph woke up he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do: he took his wife to his home;

My thoughts: Come Holy Spirit, my beloved dildo, fill me sir. Mary said yes, knowing all the risks, fulfilled the will of the father and the shadow of the Most High will rest on her. We called Jesus Christ for the fullness of the Holy Spirit came to live with us, to show us that he is the way, the truth, life and redeemed us by His death on the cross. He rose from the dead to give us eternal life.

John 5, 17-30





Jerusalem Bible (Go) 17. His answer to them was, 'My Father still goes on working, and I am at work, too.' 18. But that only made the Jews even more intent on killing him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he spoke of God as his own Father and so made himself God's equal. 19. To this Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, by himself the Son can do nothing; he can do only what he sees the Father doing: and whatever the Father does the Son does too. 20. For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he himself does, and he will show him even greater things than these, works that will astonish you. 21. Thus, as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses; 22. for the Father judges no one; he has entrusted all judgement to the Son, 23. so that all may honour the Son as they honour the Father. Whoever refuses honour to the Son refuses honour to the Father who sent him. 24. In all truth I tell you, whoever listens to my words, and believes in the one who sent me, has eternal life; without being brought to judgement such a person has passed from death to life. 25. In all truth I tell you, the hour is coming -- indeed it is already here -- when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and all who hear it will live. 26. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; 27. and, because he is the Son of man, has granted him power to give judgement. 28. Do not be surprised at this, for the hour is coming when the dead will leave their graves at the sound of his voice: 29. those who did good will come forth to life; and those who did evil will come forth to judgement. 30. By myself I can do nothing; I can judge only as I am told to judge, and my judging is just, because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

My thoughts: Come Holy Spirit. I was dead and Jesus makes me come back to life because I listen to him, now I want to do his will to achieve a resurrection of life. Like Jesus I want to seek the will of God.

John 5, 1-3. 5-16


Jerusalem Bible (Go):1. In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God.2. He was with God in the beginning. 3. Through him all things came into being, not one thing came into being except through him. 5. and light shines in darkness, and darkness could not overpower it. 6. A man came, sent by God. His name was John. 7. He came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, so that everyone might believe through him. 8. He was not the light, he was to bear witness to the light. 9. The Word was the real light that gives light to everyone; he was coming into the world. 10. He was in the world that had come into being through him, and the world did not recognise him. 11. He came to his own and his own people did not accept him. 12. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believed in his name 13. who were born not from human stock or human desire or human will but from God himself. 14. The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15. John witnesses to him. He proclaims: 'This is the one of whom I said: He who comes after me has passed ahead of me because he existed before me.' 16. Indeed, from his fullness we have, all of us, received -- one gift replacing another, 17. for the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth have come through Jesus Christ.

My thoughts: Come Holy Spirit. You want to heal ? I asked the Lord, I have heard of your miracles sir, I have seen resurrect many people who were spiritually dead , you cured me of a pain in the elbow, you have raised my spirit to you , show me the way and remove the obstacles  to fully cure and bring my testimony for the whole world to witness your power and attract people to you so that you heal then too.
