3rd Week of Easter, Friday, 06-05-2022

Acts 9:1-20 / John 6:52-59   

One of the things that the Scriptures talk about, whether it is in the Old Testament or the New Testament is about visions.

In those visions, God appeared to some people and talked with them as in an ordinary conversation between two persons.

And then there are some dramatic visions and the conversation are more serious in content.

In the 1st reading, there were two visions.

Saul heard a voice that identified itself as the Lord Jesus. The conversation was short but Saul knew there was a message for him.

And then the Lord appeared to a disciple Ananias in a vision. And Ananias knew that the Lord had a message for him and what the Lord wanted him to do.

We may not hear voices like Saul did, or have visions like Ananias had.

But the Word of God has a message for us.

Jesus speaks to us in the gospel and tells us that anyone who eats His flesh and drinks His blood is in union with Him in a spiritual and mystical way.

When we are in union with Jesus, we don't really need to hear voices or see visions.

From the Scriptures, we already hear His voice.

He had a message for each of us and it is about ourselves. May we listen and do what He wants of us.
