If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it. I am not speaking of all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, <em>The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me. <\/em>From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Dear Jesus, I long for a personal experience of your love that fills my heart with joy and gives meaning to my spiritual life. I approach you today with the desire to know what is in your heart and to please you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>\u201cThe One Who Ate My Food Has Raised His Heel Against Me\u201d:<\/strong> Jesus speaks about the betrayal of one of his closest friends, Judas, who belonged to his intimate circle of Apostles. Any of us who have been betrayed by a friend knows the pain of such an experience. Jesus had made himself vulnerable to Judas; he had personally shared his deepest thoughts and desires. He is willing to do the same with us. No matter how close we may feel to the Lord, we should be aware that the possibility of our betrayal is real and ask for the grace to remain faithful.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>To Be a Good Person or a Holy Person:<\/strong> Many people say, \u201cI\u2019m a good person\u201d and conclude that is enough. To be a holy person, they say, is boring or stuffy. On the contrary, a holy person is a joy-filled person, one whose company everyone enjoys, who has found meaning that moves them beyond being \u201cgood\u201d to being \u201cgreat.\u201d The world needs these holy souls\u2014people who live according to Gospel standards, who have embraced Christ\u2019s teachings in their hearts and show true unconditional love to all those they encounter.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Going Beyond What Is Required:<\/strong> Embracing Christ\u2019s message from the heart is essential from moving beyond a merely external participation in Sunday Mass, or keeping the commandments, to a more profound way of living. True love wants to please the other, to do what they enjoy, to make the other happy. Likewise, being a great lover of God implies going beyond fulfilling the commandments to pleasing the Lord in all that he asks of us, grateful for the love he gives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> May I renew my love for you, Lord, in a special way today, so it does not grow stale and so it moves me outside my comfort zone, from goodness to greatness (holiness).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will make a sacrifice as an offering to you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> Take a moment to reflect on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/resources\/Examination-of-Conscience-Ten-Commandments.pdf\">Ten Commandments<\/a> from the perspective of a loving father rather than that of a strict judge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renee Pomarico, CRC, is Communications Director for the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi.
