My Sunday Scripture 2011.6.26
------------------------
The Text: John 6:51-58
------------------------
I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.'
Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?'
Jesus replied to them: In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day.
For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me and I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will also draw life from me.
This is the bread which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.

My Reading Notes:
-------------------
That is one very important aspect of life: I am in you and you are in me.
IN this case, the one we are connected is God himself. Actually we are all connected. But the important part is that we are not only connected ourselves, but also with God. That means, our life has gone through all the world, to the another world. We are all one not only on this planet, but on every where in the universe. In such manner, we can see that the self is not the self, but a part of everything. What does that mean?
It means life is meaningful. It gives us courage.
If you are with God, you will fear nothing.
If you are with God, you will always be happy!

What is eternal life?
My Sunday Scripture 2011.6.19.
________________________
The Text: John 3:16-18
________________________
For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
For God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but so that through him the world might be saved.
No one who believes in him will be judged; but whoever does not believe is judged already, because that person does not believe in the Name of God's only Son.
_________________________
My Reading Notes:
_________________________
To me, eternal life is not some where you go to after your death.
It is now and it is here.
If one has received the holy spirit, if one is jointed into the spirit,
then one is one. That means, one has jointed into the real life. And that is eternal.

Receive the Spirit
My Sunday Scripture 2011.6.12
The Text: John 20:19-23.
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, «Peace be with you.»
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
(Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."
My Reading Notes:
Receive the Holy Spirit is the most important thing in one's life.
To have a spirit and to have not, is totally not the same.
Hope we all enjoy the spirit in us.

Life has such been a fuss with me.........
My Sunday Scripture 2011.5.29
The Text: John 14:15-21.
If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.
Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him."
My Reading Notes:
Life has such been a fuss with me in the last week. I was so busy, and had almost forgotten my daily Bible. Now that when I sit down, trying to locate that particular daily reading from last week, and I couldnt find it in the catholic.org; though I still can locate it from my mails.
We are always like orphans in the world. This is a very vivid feeling for me always. I felt weak and unsafe. However, when I read this passage, I feel much stronger. Yes, the advocate is always IN me. Jesus will not and will never leave us orphans. This is the most comfortable words I hear in years.
