I’m still not done thinking about everything vickinator and prairie girl said 2 days ago…
From the first reading:
“We find nothing wrong with this man.
Suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
What do they mean by a “spirit” if not an angel? Surely they would have found
something wrong with him if he had spoken to a demon? Or are they just saying
angel to show clarification on what they mean by the word spirit, instead of referring
to 2 different things?
Later on in the reading it says: The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage…”
What was that like? Was the Lord in bodily form standing? Did He have a voice?
In today’s psalm it says, “you will show me the path to life”. I like it because
I always feel like the psalm of the day is the prayer God wants me to say that day.
So today, I feel God wants to encourage me!
Jesus prays in today’s gospel: “that they may be brought to perfection as one,
that the world may know that you sent me,”
There are these 2 people in my church, they are kind of like enemies. One is a
“traditional” Catholic and believes in every holy practice and prayer that there could
ever be. The other is a “liberal” Catholic, and believes in compassion to others
above all else. These 2 people are 2 sides of the same coin, but they can’t see it.
If only they could be in unity, today’s reading would come true! If these 2 became
friends, the whole church would know it was by the power of God!
So what struck you about today’s readings? :bible1::twocents:

today our priest explained that the reason for the question of spirits/angels… was because of what the higher ups believed.
