What Would Jesus Say?

The popular question that has been appearing over the past few years on bumper stickers, bracelets and any other unclaimed surface, "What Would Jesus Do?", has given us pause, if not changed the direction of our actions, but if we changed the question to "What would Jesus SAY?" to is personally, if he were sitting at our kitchen table, we could explore all kinds of helpful possibilities. He would, no doubt, be much more affirming of us than we are; he would help us to see the good in our hearts that far exceeds the shadows that blur and fog up our ability to see it; he definitely would encourage us to spend more time with him in conversational and reflective, quiet prayer, as well as to remind us of his desire to enter within us through his great gift of the Eucharist.  He would ask us to look at our attitudes toward and treatment of others as well as suggest ways in which we could use our gifts and our love in the service of those in need.  He would affirm his love for us and remind us of his presence already within each one of us so that an encounter with another is an encounter with him. He would thank us for being who we are and for our efforts to become the best possible version of ourselves, i.e., to be holy, and remind us on how giving thanks and praise to him constantly not only brings us closer to him (his great desire) but eventually and  effectively changes our behavior.  Lord Jesus, I will take time each day to listen to you and hear what you have to say to me.
