Gospel: John 1:35-42
On the following day, John was standing there again, with two of his disciples. As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and said, “There is the Lamb of God.” On hearing this, the two disciples followed Jesus. He turned and saw them following, and he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They answered, “Rabbi (which means Master), where are you staying?” Jesus said, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where he stayed, and spent the rest of that day with him. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard what John had said, and followed Jesus. Early the next morning, he found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means the Christ), and he brought Simon to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon, son of John, but you shall be called “Cephas” (which means Rock).
REFLECTION:
The best way to establish a happy family is spending time together, sharing and listening to one another. On the one hand, modern gadgets have made this difficult for they take most of our time and interest. On the other hand, modern technology has facilitated communication among families and friends separated by distance and place. With many forms of entertainment the society offers, quality time with our family and community members is neglected. We are faced with the challenge to prioritize spending time with our love ones and above all with the Lord. Being with the Lord in solitude and prayer overflows itself to our family and friends, we bring them to the Lord.
