In today's gospel from Jesus' discourse at the last meal that he ate with his disciples, Jesus said that the disciples were the Father's gift to him. We too are a gift to Jesus from the Father. Imagine that! I offer you a reflection for yourself.
Close your eyes and relax. Breathe slowly and evenly. Ask the Holy Spirit to be with you and open your heart to receive all that God desires to give you in this time of reflection. When you are ready, imagine God the Father bringing you to Jesus and offering you to him as a gift. What is Jesus' response? Listen to Jesus tell you how you are a gift to him. What is your response?
Then, reflect on how Jesus is a gift to you and tell him. What is his response?
Then, reflect on how Jesus is a gift to you and tell him. What is his response?
