June 1 - Seventh Sunday of Easter Todays Readings: Acts 1:12-14; Psalm 27:1, 4, 7-8; 1 Peter 4:13-16; John 17:1-11a “I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work you gave me to do.” Jesus spoke these words as part of his prayer to the Father of his disciples at the Last Supper just before he went to the Garden of Gethsemane. What was the work the Father had given Jesus to accomplish on earth to glorify Him? Part of that work was to be a living, breathing, walking, talking example and model to show us how we can accomplish the work the Father has given to each of us. For each of us that work is different. Each of us has received from God a vast array of talents, abilities and gifts that are unique. Each of us has a unique life experience. It is precisely because we are unique that we must identify, accept, develop and use all that God created us to be. And we must share what God has given to us with others. When we meet God face to face will we be able to say, “I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work you gave me to do?”
