제1독서
사도행전. 14,5-18
그 무렵 이코니온에서는 5 다른 민족 사람들과 유다인들이
저희 지도자들과 더불어 바오로와 바르나바를 괴롭히고
또 돌을 던져 죽이려고 하였다.
6 바오로와 바르나바는 그 일을 알아채고
리카오니아 지방의 도시 리스트라와 데르베와 그 근방으로 피해 갔다.
7 그들은 거기에서도 복음을 전하였다.
8 리스트라에는 두 발을 쓰지 못하는 사람이 하나 있었는데,
그는 앉은뱅이로 태어나 한 번도 걸어 본 적이 없었다.
9 그가 바오로의 설교를 듣고 있었는데,
그를 유심히 바라본 바오로가 그에게 구원받을 만한 믿음이 있음을 알고,
10 “두 발로 똑바로 일어서시오.” 하고 큰 소리로 말하였다.
그러자 그가 벌떡 일어나 걷기 시작하였다.
11 군중은 바오로가 한 일을 보고 리카오니아 말로 목소리를 높여,
“신들이 사람 모습을 하고 우리에게 내려오셨다.” 하고 말하였다.
12 그들은 바르나바를 제우스라 부르고 바오로를 헤르메스라 불렀는데,
바오로가 주로 말하였기 때문이다.
13 도시 앞에 있는 제우스 신전의 사제는
황소 몇 마리와 화환을 문으로 가지고 와서,
군중과 함께 제물을 바치려고 하였다.
14 바르나바와 바오로 두 사도는 그 말을 듣고서
자기들의 옷을 찢고 군중 속으로 뛰어들어 소리를 지르며 15 말하였다.
“여러분, 왜 이런 짓을 하십니까? 우리도 여러분과 똑같은 사람입니다.
우리는 다만 여러분에게 복음을 전할 따름입니다.
여러분이 이런 헛된 것들을 버리고
하늘과 땅과 바다와 또 그 안에 있는 모든 것을 만드신
살아 계신 하느님께로 돌아서게 하려는 것입니다.
16 지난날에는 하느님께서 다른 모든 민족들이 제 길을 가도록 내버려 두셨습니다.
17 그러면서도 좋은 일을 해 주셨으니,
당신 자신을 드러내 보이지 않으신 것은 아닙니다.
곧 하늘에서 비와 열매 맺는 절기를 내려 주시고 여러분을 양식으로,
여러분의 마음을 기쁨으로 채워 주셨습니다.”
18 그들은 이렇게 말하면서 군중이 자기들에게 제물을 바치지 못하도록 겨우 말렸다.
복음
요한. 14,21-26
그때에 예수님께서 제자들에게 말씀하셨다.
21 “내 계명을 받아 지키는 이야말로 나를 사랑하는 사람이다.
나를 사랑하는 사람은 내 아버지께 사랑을 받을 것이다.
그리고 나도 그를 사랑하고 그에게 나 자신을 드러내 보일 것이다.”
22 이스카리옷이 아닌 다른 유다가 예수님께,
“주님, 저희에게는 주님 자신을 드러내시고
세상에는 드러내지 않으시겠다니 무슨 까닭입니까?” 하자,
23 예수님께서 그에게 대답하셨다.
“누구든지 나를 사랑하면 내 말을 지킬 것이다.
그러면 내 아버지께서 그를 사랑하시고, 우리가 그에게 가서 그와 함께 살 것이다.
24 그러나 나를 사랑하지 않는 사람은 내 말을 지키지 않는다.
너희가 듣는 말은 내 말이 아니라 나를 보내신 아버지의 말씀이다.
25 나는 너희와 함께 있는 동안에 이것들을 이야기하였다.
26 보호자, 곧 아버지께서 내 이름으로 보내실 성령께서
너희에게 모든 것을 가르치시고
내가 너희에게 말한 모든 것을 기억하게 해 주실 것이다.”

Reading 1
Acts 14:5-18
There was an attempt in Iconium
by both the Gentiles and the Jews,
together with their leaders,
to attack and stone Paul and Barnabas.
They realized it,
and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe
and to the surrounding countryside,
where they continued to proclaim the Good News.
At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth,
who had never walked.
He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him,
saw that he had the faith to be healed,
and called out in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet.”
He jumped up and began to walk about.
When the crowds saw what Paul had done,
they cried out in Lycaonian,
“The gods have come down to us in human form.”
They called Barnabas “Zeus” and Paul “Hermes,”
because he was the chief speaker.
And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city,
brought oxen and garlands to the gates,
for he together with the people intended to offer sacrifice.
The Apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments
when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
“Men, why are you doing this?
We are of the same nature as you, human beings.
We proclaim to you good news
that you should turn from these idols to the living God,
who made heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them.
In past generations he allowed all Gentiles to go their own ways;
yet, in bestowing his goodness,
he did not leave himself without witness,
for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons,
and filled you with nourishment and gladness for your hearts.”
Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds
from offering sacrifice to them.

Gospel
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Whoever has my commandments and observes them
is the one who loves me.
Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him,
“Master, then what happened that you will reveal yourself to us
and not to the world?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“Whoever loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
Whoever does not love me does not keep my words;
yet the word you hear is not mine
but that of the Father who sent me.
“I have told you this while I am with you.
The Advocate, the Holy Spirit
whom the Father will send in my name
he will teach you everything
and remind you of all that I told you.”

«The Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of all that I have told you»
Fr. Norbert ESTARRIOL i Seseras
(Lleida, Spain)
Today, Jesus shows us his immense desire for us to share his plenitude. United with him, we live into the stream of divine life that is the Holy Trinity. «God is with you. In your soul filled with grace, lives the Blessed Trinity. —This is why, you, despite all your misery, may and must be in steady conversation with the Lord» (Saint Josemaria).
Jesus assures us He will be present with us in the divine intimacy of the soul through grace. Thus, we Christians are no longer orphans. He loves us so much that, though He does not need us, He does not want to prescind from us.
«Whoever keeps my commandments is the one who loves me. If he loves me, he will also be loved by my Father; I too shall love him and show myself clearly to him» (Jn 14:21). This thought helps us to have presence of God. And those desires or thoughts which, eventually, are wasting our time and preventing us from abiding by the divine will, will have no room any more on our minds. This is an advice from saint Gregory the Great: «Let us not be seduced by the flattery of prosperity, because it is a stupid traveler he who sees, during his journey, delightful prairies but forgets where he was heading for».
God's presence in our heart will help us discover and carry out in this world those designs the Divine Providence may have planned for us. The Spirit of the Lord will arouse initiatives in our heart to be placed on top of all human activities and, thus, make Christ stand out over and above all of us. If we manage to have this intimacy with Jesus we shall end up by being good sons of God and will always and everywhere feel as his friends: whether in the street, amidst our daily chores or within our family life.
All light and fire of divine life will fall upon each one of the faithful who are willing to receive the gift of divinity living in our soul. God's Mother will intercede for us —as our own mother that she also is— to deeply enter into this covenant with the Holy Trinity.

the know-it-all
"The Paraclete, the Holy Spirit Whom the Father will send in My name, will instruct you in everything, and remind you of all that I told you." —John 14:26
Eternal life is to know God the Father and Jesus (Jn 17:3). Because love requires freedom and freedom requires some knowledge, knowledge is necessary to love. Therefore, we are created both to know and to love God. We can "perish for want of knowledge" (Hos 4:6).
Because knowing is so important for life and love, teaching is extremely important in God's plan. Although God the Father (see Jn 6:44-45) and Jesus teach us, in this post-Pentecost age the Holy Spirit is the Focus of teaching in that He teaches us everything (Jn 14:26) and guides us to all truth (Jn 16:13).
We have victory, freedom, love, and hope because we know what we need to know. We know all we need because the Holy Spirit teaches us and because we are docile, that is, teachable, to His teachings.
If you know millions of things, that means there are still many millions of things you don't know. You don't know the future, your heart, or others' hearts (see Jer 17:10). These are critical things not to know. So we are doomed to be impossibly ignorant. Our only hope is to know the one Who knows all and will teach us all we need to know (Jn 14:26). Our only Hope is the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Father, break through my pride to make me docile to the Holy Spirit.
Promise: "There was a man who was lame from birth; he used to sit crippled, never having walked in his life. on one occasion he was listening to Paul preaching, and Paul looked directly at him and saw that he had the faith to be saved. He called out to him in a loud voice, 'Stand up! on your feet!' The man jumped up and began to walk around." —Acts 14:8-10
Praise: All through the day Jim prays, "Jesus, I trust in You."

"If you love me, keep my word"
Do you know the love that surpasses all, that is stronger than death itself (Song of Songs 8:6)? In Jesus' last supper discourse he speaks of the love he has for his disciples and of his Father's love. He prepares his disciples for his imminent departure to return to his Father by exhorting them to prove their love for him through their loyalty and obedience to his word. He promises them the abiding instruction and consolation of the Holy Spirit.
Saint Augustine says the Lord loves each of us as if there were only one of us to love. God's love for each of us is as real and tangible as the love of a mother for her child and the love of a lover who gives all for his beloved. God made us in love for love - to know him personally and to grow in the knowledge of his great love for us and to love him in return.
God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit
How can we know and be assured of the love of God? The Holy Spirit helps us to grow in the knowledge of God and his great love. The Spirit enables us to experience the love of God and to be assured of the Lord’s abiding presence with us (see Romans 5:5 and 8:35-39). The Holy Spirit also opens our ears to hear and understand the word of God. Do you listen attentively to God's word and believe it? Ask the Holy Spirit to inflame your heart with the love of God and his word.
"Lord Jesus, in love you created me and you drew me to yourself. May I never lose sight of you nor forget your steadfast love and faithfulness. And may I daily dwell upon your word and give you praise in the sanctuary of my heart, You who are my All."
Psalm 115:1-4,15-16
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?"
3 Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth!
16 The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: God is pleased to dwell in us, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"God is not too grand to come, he is not too fussy or shy, he is not too proud - on the contrary he is pleased to come if you do not displease him. Listen to the promise he makes. Listen to him indeed promising with pleasure, not threatening in displeasure, "We shall come to him," he says, "I and the Father." To the one he had earlier called his friend, the one who obeys his precepts, the keeper of his commandment, the lover of God, the lover of his neighbor, he says, "We shall come to him and make our abode with him." (excerpt from Sermon 23,6)
