SEEK THE LORD AND YOU WILL FIND
In yesterday’s Gospel passage John the Baptist, inspired by the Holy Spirit discovers Jesus as the Lamb of God. Having found him to be the One for whom he had been preparing the way, introduces Jesus to his disciples. The disciples of John the Baptist there after seeks to be the disciple of Jesus. With the invitation of Jesus to “come and see”, they go with him and stay with him forever. The joy was not contained in themselves but they went and proclaimed Jesus and in their turn they introduced Jesus to his brother Simon Peter who became the rock of the Church.
If we ardently seek for the Lord, we are sure to find him. Our problem is that we are distracted from concentrating on him. Allow the passage to inspire you to search for the Lord so that we can stay with him like his disciples forever and share this Joy with many whom we come in contact with. Because, relentless and sincere search leads to the truth and the truth discovered cannot but be proclaimed to others. Let our mind and heart resonate with the prayer, “Lord Jesus, help us to seek you with an open heart and mind”.
