Come and See


Hearing John the Baptist proclaim, "Behold the Lamb of God," Andrew, brother of Peter and another disciple. followed Jesus who asked them what they were looking for, and told them to "Come and see." (Jn 1: 35-39).  They spent the afternoon together and whatever took place changed the path of their lives forever.  They met Jesus.  That's all it takes. When we come to know Jesus, a power is given to us to do what we never thought possible.   These post-Christmas days, like the other side of Advent, as we meditate on the Incarnation and attempt to plumb the depth of its implication and meaning for us, give us the opporunity and invitation to "come and see"...spend time in quiet and reflection (pondering) of the love which prompted the Son of God to take on our humanity so that we might know him and love him in return.  May we put our trust in him that we might follow the path he has in mind for us, as did Andrew. John, James, Peter and the other Apostles.
