Reflection on John 12:20-23
When you think of Christ Glorified what is your image? Is he in the upper room with visible wounds, perhaps the transfiguration scene, maybe gracefully rising into Heaven? Imagine for a moment instead that you have just received the Glorified Jesus Christ in Eucharist. What comes to mind? For me faith wells up, I am surrounded in peace and love and re-energized with the mission of helping ripple Jesus’s Glory within outward.
