Daily Reminder: Submit your will to God (thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven). Consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary.

Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved,
the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper
and had said, “Master, who is the one who will betray you?”
When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”
Jesus said to him, “What if I want him to remain until I come?
What concern is it of yours?
You follow me.”
So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die.
But Jesus had not told him that he would not die,
just “What if I want him to remain until I come?
What concern is it of yours?”
It is this disciple who testifies to these things
and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.
There are also many other things that Jesus did,
but if these were to be described individually,
I do not think the whole world would contain the books
that would be written. JN 21:20-25
This may be the most important paragraph in all of John’s Gospel. He says, “It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.” John, the Apostle, was chosen by Jesus Christ to follow Him for 3 years. John witnessed all of the most important events in Jesus’ life and was the only Apostle with Mary to be at the foot of the cross. WE HAVE AN EYEWITNESS TO THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST! If you believe it is true, then start living it with all your heart! We must stop being lukewarm Catholics and sitting on the fence. We must live our lives totally and completely for Jesus Christ and love. John goes on to say, “I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.” Jn 21:25
Do very many people read the Bible? Would we read all of the books the Apostles wrote about Jesus if there were several others? Many do not read the Bible or Gospels daily. The Gospels hold the Truths revealed by Jesus Christ to gain salvation. There will not be any other revelation or way to salvation. Everything we need to know is in them.
Challenge: Read the daily Mass readings and reflect on them. Pray every day in the same place and at the same time (make a chime on your phone to remind you).
Then as Padre Pio says, “Pray, Hope, and don’t worry!”
Be a servant, become a saint!
