Wednesday 7th Week of Easter
In his Daily Homilies, Fr. Mark Link, SJ, shared a legend that says, “When Jesus ascended into heaven, the angel Gabriel asked Him if all the people knew about God’s love for them.” “Oh, no,” said Jesus, “just a handful of people do.”
The angel Gabriel was shocked and replied, “But, Lord, what if this handful of people let you down? What if they meet with opposition and become discouraged? Don’t you have a back-up plan just in case?”
“No,” said Jesus, “I’m counting on them not to let me down.”
In the end, we may ask ourselves: “How is Jesus’ expectation being realized in me?”
