Now we realize that you know everything and that you do not need to have anyone question you. Because of this we believe that you came from God.\u201d Jesus answered them, \u201cDo you believe now? Behold, the hour is coming and has arrived when each of you will be scattered to his own home and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me. I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, our understanding is sometimes so muddled, and when life assails us, we can be confused. I turn to you now, because you know my deep needs, and I ask that you fill me with your courage and peace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n\t<li><strong>\u201cNow You Are Talking Plainly\u201d:<\/strong> It must have been challenging to be a disciple. Jesus was unlike anyone the people had ever met. He turned their world and their thinking upside down and inside out. His message was extraordinary but, quite often, his listeners were confused by the things that he said and did. Some even left him because his teaching was \u201ctoo much.\u201d When we feel like we need more than anything to hear Jesus talk plainly, how well do we listen? Our Lord will sometimes speak while we reflect on Scripture, sometimes when we\u2019re in prayer, and other times through the ordinary circumstances of our lives. St. Therese of Lisieux says, \u201cI know and have experienced that \u2018the Kingdom of God is within us,\u2019 that our Master has no need of books or teacher to instruct a soul. The Teacher of teachers instructs without sound of words, and though I have never heard him speak, yet I know he is within me, always guiding and inspiring me; and just when I need them, lights, hitherto unseen, break in upon me. As a rule, it is not during prayer that this happens, but in the midst of my daily duties.\u201d\n\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>\u201cYou Will Leave Me Alone\u201d:<\/strong> Jesus prophesied that his disciples would abandon him, and they did. We also abandon Jesus from time to time. One minute we are invigorated by deep spiritual consolations, and the next we feel depleted and too quickly leave Jesus alone. And when we feel alone, we stumble and fall. In those moments, Jesus shows us what to do. \u201cI am not alone,\u201d Jesus said, \u201cbecause the Father is with me.\u201d We are to remember that we are <em>always<\/em> children of God. We can flee from God but he never abandons us. Our loving Lord is patient with us and calls us to repent and return to his presence. \u201cThe Lord does not delay his promise, as some regard \u2018delay,\u2019 but he is patient with you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance\u201d (2 Pet 3:9).\n\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Take Courage:<\/strong> \u201cIn the world you will have trouble.\u201d Jesus knows that all of us face seemingly insurmountable circumstances at times during our life. His recommendation? Take courage. As Christians, we draw courage from the sure knowledge that Jesus conquered \u201cthe world\u201d\u2014sin and death. We fix our eyes on eternity and live in the present moment with Jesus\u2014whether we are suffering or joyful\u2014and his peace pervades our soul.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> My Lord, talk plainly to me. Help me to see when my actions please you and when they don\u2019t. Please send me your peace, give me the consolation of your presence, and strengthen me to persevere when I run into trouble.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will spend a few minutes praising God the Father and reflecting on my eternal destiny, heaven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> I will consider my own sonship, and ponder this entry from CCC 2781: \u201cWhen we pray to the Father, we are\u00a0<em>in communion with him<\/em>\u00a0and with his Son, Jesus Christ.\u00a0Then we know and recognize him with an ever new sense of wonder. The first phrase of the Our Father is a blessing of adoration before it is a supplication. For it is the glory of God that we should recognize him as \u2018Father,\u2019 the true God. We give him thanks for having revealed his name to us, for the gift of believing in it, and for the indwelling of his Presence in us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mary Wolff has a unique understanding of \u201clife in the trenches\u201d from many years of motherhood and her years living in the Holy Land. She spends countless hours in Adoration, interceding especially for priests and for all on the front lines of life.
