Do not be like Cain, who was of the evil one, and who killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked, but his brother’s works were just. If the world hates you, brothers, do not be surprised. We know that we have passed from death to life. For we love as brothers. Whoever does not love, abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding within him. We know the love of God in this way: because he laid down his life for us. And so, we must lay down our lives for our brothers. Whoever possesses the goods of this world, and sees his brother to be in need, and yet closes his heart to him: in what way does the love of God abide in him? My little sons, let us not love in words only, but in works and in truth. In this way, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight. For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things. Most beloved, if our heart does not reproach us, we can have confidence toward God. Responsorial Psalm: PS 100:1b-2, 3, 4, 5 R. (2a) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve you the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy. R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. Know that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture. R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. Go into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise his name: R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endures forever, and his truth to generation and generation. R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. Alleluia R. Alleluia, alleluia. A holy day has dawned upon us. Come, you nations, and adore the Lord. Today a great light has come upon the earth. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel: John 1:43-51 On the next day, he wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.” And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, “Behold, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.” Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him and said: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.” Jesus responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.” And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.” === Reflection: Copyright © 2020 My Catholic Life!
