Words of Jesus

Then after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the feast"; or, that he should give something to the poor. So, after receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night. When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of man glorified, and in him God is glorified; if God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going you cannot come.'

John 13:27-33

Who teaches the soul if not God?

— Saint John of the Cross

Abba, Father, Lord God, through the Son in the Holy Spirit You teach, guide and direct me. Help me accept and rejoice in knowing that I will always be Your little child; for no matter how much I think I learn and understand there is always so much more that I need to learn and will never understand. This is so different and threatening to my human nature that I know without Jesus I can no longer exist. Yet this very thing I find myself doing, wondering off and losing my way; my connection to You in Jesus through the Spirit. So I ask that You help me see, hear and feel with the eyes, ears and heart of Him who saved me, my Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
