Good morning good people may the Risen Lord bless you with peace and happiness.
It is on 19th April 2024.
We reflect on Acts 9:1-20 and John 6:52-59.
Conversion comes through God, in the Holy Spirit, and by the faith in Jesus.
Every conversion is a journey towards Jesus.
In everyone’s life, there is a moment of conversion to be aware of God’s presence. No one can live the way they want deleting God from their life till the end.
If we fail to grab the moment of blessings with God God makes us aware of something, we are least prepared for or expected. We tend to exit God whenever it suits us, but God does not leave us.
There is no way out for God to leave our lives even when we abuse our free will and freedom that is bestowed on us. God is just patient with us and allows us to doubt, question, and quarrel with God’s will for us but never allows us to be forgotten by us.
Saul who humiliated, tortured, and murdered the believers is struck down from his pride, arrogance, and abuse to become a firm believer in Christ. Ananias led by the Spirit of God to help Saul regain his sight is physical as well as spiritual. “For several days Saul was with the disciples in Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.” (Act. 9:20).
The responsorial Psalm acclaims, “Go out to all the world, and tell the Good News.” ((Mk.16:15).
Jesus continues to convince us that He is the Bread of Life. Life and eternal life are experienced by those who “But the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (Jn.6:51).
The Holy Eucharist is the body and blood of Jesus visibly we can experience, and the Word of God is also to be the Bread of Life.
Our loving relationship with one another makes this nourishing of the Bread of Life in the Eucharist and the Word of God meaningful and fruitful not only to us but to everyone who believes.
Have a lovely day. God bless you.
