REFLECTIONS: The price and the value
http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/09/price-and-value.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Monday, 10 September 2007. The price and the value. It was worth a year's wages." He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. And picture this: your brother has been called back to life by the Creator of the universe and the perfect Lover of your soul has for...

http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/09/only-one-priority.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Sunday, 30 September 2007. Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we would like to see Jesus." Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus. Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/06/one-flock-and-one-shepherd.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Sunday, 24 June 2007. One flock and one Shepherd. Jesus, I recognize your voice and I know that you are not a thief or a hireling, but the rightful owner of your sheep. You are also the one and only official entrance to safety! Yes, you are the Good Shepherd from Psalm 23. And you are the fulfillment of God’s promise in Ezekiel 34. The sheep of another sheep pen. Cast y...

REFLECTIONS: Great exodus and triumphal entry
http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/09/great-exodus-and-triumphal-entry.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Tuesday, 18 September 2007. Great exodus and triumphal entry. The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel! And that Liberator, that Messiah, who else could that be ...

REFLECTIONS: Believing without seeing
http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/06/believing-without-seeing.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Monday, 4 June 2007. As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? For the orthodox believers there were only two possible explanations for physical blindness: either the blind person or his/her parents had sinned. Jesus, the One who had just proclaimed. Dear Jesus, I can...

REFLECTIONS: He calls me by my name
http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/06/never-follow-stranger.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Monday, 18 June 2007. He calls me by my name. You can follow a stranger for a while without noticing that he is leading you astray. Listen to his voice. Do you hear words of truth, mercy, wisdom and forgiveness? You are not following the Good Shepherd. I recognize your voice, because this is not my first day in your herd. Your voice sounds familiar to me, your prese...

When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.". When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. "Where have you laid him? Come and see, Lord," they replied. I have expe...

REFLECTIONS: One for all and all for One
http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/09/one-for-all-and-all-for-one.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Monday, 3 September 2007. One for all and all for One. Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. What are we accomplishing? What does it take to believe?

REFLECTIONS: Called back to life by the Liberator
http://reflectthelight.blogspot.com/2007/07/called-back-to-life-by-liberator.html
Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12). Monday, 23 July 2007. Called back to life by the Liberator. So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.". When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!
