Friends of the Rosary,

In the main reading of the Gospel today (John 5:17-30), we see Jesus answering the Jews:

"For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life,
So also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes.
Nor does the Father judge anyone,
But he has given all judgment to the Son,
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.
Whoever does not honor the Son
does not honor the Father who sent him.
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word
and believes in the one who sent me
has eternal life and will not come to condemnation,
but has passed from death to life."

"Those who have done good deeds [will go]
to the resurrection of life,
But those who have done wicked deeds
to the resurrection of condemnation."

When we adopt the attitude that our life should be our own, seek knowledge of good and evil, and try to control what's coming, the loop of divine grace is broken, and we get lost.

Christ the Lord shows us the way of obedience. His life was an obedient response to the will of God:

"Amen, amen, I say to you, a Son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his Father doing; for what he does, his Son will do also."

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
