Summary
This homily features a reflection on St. John’s Gospel during a spiritual retreat, focusing specifically on the events of the Last Supper. The narrative emphasizes Christ's humility and the sobering reality that even those close to God, such as Judas Iscariot, can betray through human weakness. By exploring the concept of divine instruments, I explain that followers are called to represent Jesus on earth, sharing in both his authority and his suffering. This responsibility requires a deep union with God and a well-formed conscience to ensure one promotes the divine will rather than personal interests. Ultimately, the interconnectedness of mission is highlighted, where receiving a messenger of faith is equivalent to receiving Christ and the Father.
