The texts today from the Roman Catholic Lectionary offer reflection on the situation of suffering for our faith. The passage from the Book of Acts tells of conflict in Corinth which resulted in Paul needing to leave for Ephesus.
Friar Jude Winkler comments on the expulsion of Jews and Christians from Rome in 49 CE. Luis Rodriguez, S.J. reflects on the how Jesus instructions to His disciples in the Gospel from John tells them and us that accepting our cross will be a matter of grief which leads to joy. This invitation to reflect our our experience of the transition from grief to joy through our relationship with Jesus is the inspiration to continue to seek to do in His Name that which the Father desires.
