Tuesday 30th November -Andrew the Apostle-A compassionate heart



John 12:20-32


Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me. John 12:26

In the modern rhythm of our day to day life, it is possible to feel very distant from Jesus and to lose sight of his presence even as we seek him and struggle to follow him. How best can we help to incarnate and to connect with this gospel text and message today? The earthly Jesus was born in a hostile society like ours, and was very vulnerable from infancy. Even though he tasted the rough side of life, yet he grew up having a compassionate heart for the poor and the vulnerable in his days. He later died an agonizing death, yet pleaded for the forgiveness of human cruelty meted on him!
To follow Jesus and to be with him is to see ourselves in the vulnerabilities and agonies and death of today. Our distance away from these real life challenges and pressures, poverty and worry, compassion and healing for our helpless brothers and sisters here and there in the world is our same distance away from Jesus.
