GRM 132

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

In his discourse, Jesus speaks of the First Book of the Maccabees, with the Feast of Dedication. He invites us to follow the basis of the Law to sanctify ourselves, i.e. the Decalogue. Then he explains that we must purify ourselves (with repentance), put God in our hearts and have a new altar, knowing that Christ prays with us to the Father and that we shouldn't be afraid to approach him. Once he's finished, he talks to Peter, who regrets not knowing how to speak, but Jesus confirms his spiritual primacy. His apostle also asks if he can have a son, but Jesus tells him no: rather, his Vicar will have thousands of spiritual children. The Master also assures him that he will be able to speak when the time comes, and sends him off to sell a precious ring.

GRM 133

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus talks to Andrew. He tells him about the birds and then talks about his silent, effective work. Andrew is the ideal model of a priest. Then John, Simon and Judas, who have gone to Jerusalem, return with a letter from Mary, Jesus' mother. They learn that the Pharisees are planning to come here, surprise him and accuse him. The apostles are not yet ready to confront the Sanhedrin and ask Christ to leave. They finally open the gifts made by the disciples' wives. But Jesus is preoccupied, suffering, and decides to hasten their departure, as he is not yet to be taken. So they prepare their belongings to go to Docco, and then to Bethany.

GRM 134

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Healing for Marianne, a dying mother who has given life to six children. She has a breast disease (perhaps cancer?). Jesus comes to heal her, because her mother-in-law has gone to find Jesus at Belle-Eau, at the end of EMV 131. At the end, Christ asks Judas to buy them food for the next few days, as they are very poor. Judas then asks him to give some of his own money, because he is becoming good and wants to get rid of his fascination with money.
