Remember the Word

The text from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today continues the reflection from yesterday about taking leave as Paul prayers with the elders of Ephesus as he prepares to continue his journey to Jerusalem The passage from the book of Acts tels us that Paul is concerned that the leaders of the community be on guard for those who will come to distort and attempt to divide the members of the community. In the text from the Gospel of John Jesus is praying to the Father for protection  of His disciples from the Evil One the truth which Cindy Murphy McMahon shares speaks so clearly and deeply to her from reflection and chewing on the Word is not always immediately perceived by all. The transformation which comes in Life through living the Word requires frequent attention to the message hich does contain resonance in daily life for those who seek it. Though Paul leaves the community in Ephesus the communion with the followers of the Way through the Word and the Holy Spirit binds believers together transcending time and space
