For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day. (John 6:40 NABRE)
With this statement, Jesus wraps up his discourse on being the bread of life with the promise of eternal life for all who believe in him. All these years later we still believe, though we have not seen him. We trust in the witness of the Apostles and the traditions that have been passed down to us for the past two hundred centuries. And, we place our hope in the promise because he rose from the dead!
Today, on this third Wednesday of the Easter Season, I will listen to the witness of those who saw the risen Jesus and I will believe.
Saint Adalbert of Prague, martyred bishop with a zeal for saving souls, pray for us.
