Commentary on #John14:12-14: Saint John Chrysostom. Having said, Believe for the works’ sake, our Lord goes on to declare that He can do much greater than these, and what is more wonderful, give others the power of working them.

16 May 2025 (Friday) #MassReadings USCCB Commentaries: #StJohnChrysostom (#Acts13:26-33 ) , #StAugustine (#Psalm2:6-7, 8-9, 10-11ab) & Saints (#John14:1-6 ) . Some Saints’ Commentaries: Saint Augustine. Jesus means evidently that there are already many mansions, and that there is no need of His preparing one. Saint John Chrysostom. Having said, Thou canst not follow Me now, that they might not think that they were cut off for ever, He adds: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also: a recommendation to them to place the strongest trust in Him. Saint Augustine. As if Jesus said, I am the way, whereby thou wouldest go; I am the truth, whereto thou wouldest go; I am the life, in which thou wouldest abide. The truth and the life every one understands; but not every one hath found the way. Even the philosophers of the world have seen that God is the life eternal, the truth which is the end of all knowledge. And the Word of God, which is truth and life with the Father, by taking upon Him human nature, is made the way. Walk by the Man Jesus, and thou wilt arrive at God. For it is better to limp on the right way, than to walk ever so stoutly by the wrong. 8-) Sending You Joy, Love & Peace from #Singapore!

Some Saints’ Commentaries: Saint Bede. To know what is good, and not to do it, tendeth not to happiness, but to condemnation; as James saith, To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin (#James4:17). Wherefore He adds, If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. Saint Augustine. They then who were chosen ate the Lord, they ate life; he ate the bread of the Lord, to injure the Lord; Judas damnation; for he that eateth unworthily, eateth damnation to himself. (#1Corinthians11:27) Saint Origen. For he that receiveth him whom Jesus sends, receiveth Jesus who is represented by him; and he that receiveth Jesus, receiveth the Father. Therefore he that receiveth whom Jesus sends, receiveth the Father that sent. The words may have this meaning too: He that receiveth whom I send, had attained unto receiving Me: he who receiveth Me not by means of any Apostle, but by My own entrance into his soul, receiveth the Father; so that not only I abide in him, but the Father also. 8-) Sending You Joy, Love & Peace from #Singapore!

14 May 2025 (Wednesday) #MassReadings USCCB Commentaries: #StJohnChrysostom (#Acts1:15-17, 20-26) , #StAugustine (#Psalm113:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8) & Saints (#John15:9-17 ) . Some Saints’ Commentaries: Saint John Chrysostom. Our Lord shewed above, that those who plotted against them should be burned, inasmuch as they abode not in Christ (John 15:6): now He shews that they themselves would be invincible, bringing forth much fruit; Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit: as if He said, If it appertains to My Father’s glory that ye bring forth fruit, He will not despise His own glory. And he that bringeth forth fruit is Christ’s disciple: So shall ye be My disciples. Saint Gregory the Great. ...Love and love only is the fulfilment of everything that is enjoined. As all the boughs of a tree proceed from one root, so all the virtues are produced from one love: nor hath the branch, i.e. the good work, any life, except it abide in the root of love. Saint Augustine. ...But this love is distinguished from men’s love to each other as men, by adding, As I have loved you. To what end did Christ love us, but that we should reign with Him? Let us therefore so love one another, as that our love be different from that of other men; who do not love one another, to the end that God may be loved, because they do not really love at all. They who love one another for the sake of having God within them, they truly love one another. Saint Gregory the Great. But whoso in time of tranquillity will not give up his time to God, how in persecution will he give up his soul? Let the virtue of love then, that it may be victorious in tribulation, be nourished in tranquillity by deeds of mercy. A friend is as it were a keeper of the soul. He who keeps God’s commandments, is rightly called His friend. Saint Augustine. Love then is one fruit, now existing in desire only, not yet in fullness. Yet even with this desire whatever we ask in the name of the Only-Begotten Son, the Father giveth us: That whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He may give it you. We ask in the Saviour’s name, whatever we ask, that will be profitable to our salvation. Sending You Joy, Love & Peace from #Singapore!

13 May 2025 (Tuesday) #MassReadings USCCB Commentaries: #StJohnChrysostom (#Acts11:19-26) , #StAugustine (#Psalm87:1b-3, 4-5, 6-7) & Saints (#John10:22-30 ) . Some of the Saints’ Commentaries: Saint Alcuin: Obey My precepts from the heart. And I know them, and they follow Me, here by walking in gentleness and innocence, hereafter by entering the joys of eternal life: And I give unto them eternal life. Saint Augustine: This is the pasture of which He spoke before: And shall find pasture. Eternal life is called a goodly pasture: the grass thereof withereth not, all is spread with verdure. But these cavillers thought only of this present life. And they shall not perish eternally; (οὐ μὴ ἀπόλλυνται εἰς τὸν αἴωνα) as if to say, Ye shall perish eternally, because ye are not of My sheep. Saint Theophylact: But how then did Judas perish? Because he did not continue to the end. Christ speaks of them who persevere. If any sheep is separated from the flock, and wanders from the Shepherd, it incurs danger immediately. Saint Augustine: And He adds why they do not perish: Neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. (2Timothy 2:19) Of those sheep of which it is said, The Lord knoweth then that are His, the wolf robbeth none, the thief taketh none, the robber killeth none. Christ is confident of their safety; and He knows what He gave up for them. (He suffered & died on the Cross to justify us for Eternal Life. Thank you, Jesus.)

12 May 2025 (Monday) #MassReadings USCCB Commentaries: #StJohnChrysostom (#Acts11:1-18 ) , #StAugustine (#Psalm42:2-3; 43:3, 4) Understand, All that ever came at variance with Me. The Prophets were not at variance with Him. They came with Him, who came with the Word of God, who spake the truth. He, the Word, the Truth, sent heralds before Him, but the hearts of those whom He sent were His own. They came with Him, inasmuch as He is always, though He assumed the flesh in time: In the beginning was the Word. His humble advent in the flesh was preceded by just men, who believed on Him as about to come, as we believe on Him come. The times are different, the faith is the same. Our faith knitteth together both those who believed that He was about to come, and those who believe that He has come. All that ever came at variance with Him were thieves and robbers; i.e. they came to steal and to kill; but the sheep did not hear them. They had not Christ’s voice; but were wanderers, dreamers, deceivers. Why He is the Door, He next explains, I am the Door; by Me if any man enter in he shall be saved. Saint Augustine Mystically, the thief is the devil, steals by wicked thoughts, kills by the assent of the mind to them, and destroys by acts.

10 May 2025 (Saturday) #MassReadings USCCB Commentaries: #StJohnChrysostom (#Acts9:31-42) , #StAugustine (#Psalm116:12-13, 14-15, 16-17) Some Saints’ Commentaries on #John6:60-69: Saint Augustine: If then thou understand them spiritually, My words are life and spirit to thee: if carnally, even then they are life and spirit, but not to thee. Our Lord declares that in eating His body, and drinking His blood, we dwell in Him, and He in us. But what has the power to affect this, except love? The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, which is given to us. (Romans 5:5)… The Prophet said, except ye believe, ye shall not understand. (Isaiah 7:9)… But let men believe, and open their eyes and they will be enlightened. Saint Theophylact: The Evangelist wishes to shew us, that He knew all things before the foundation of the world: which was a proof of His divinity. Sending You Joy, Love & Peace from #Singapore!

09 May 2025 (Friday) #MassReadings USCCB Commentaries: #StJohnChrysostom (#Acts9:1-20) , #StAugustine (#Psalm117:1bc, 2) Commentary by Saint Augustine (#John6:52–59) on wicked Catholics/Christians especially those Religious who slander, harm their fellows Catholics/Christians, who think they are physically united but actually have been spiritually cut off from the Unity of the Body of Christ: they may receive the same Sacrament; but it does not profit them, nay, rather is hurtful, as tending to make their judgment heavier, or their forgiveness later. Nor ought they to feel secure in their abandoned and damnable ways, who, by the iniquity of their lives, desert righteousness, i.e. Christ; either by fornication, or other sins of the like kind. Such are not to be said to eat the body of Christ; forasmuch as they are not to be counted among the members of Christ. For, not to mention other things, men cannot be members of Christ, and at the same time members of a harlot. So then to partake of that meat and that drink, is to dwell in Christ and Christ in thee. He that dwelleth not in Christ, and in whom Christ dwelleth not, neither eateth His flesh, nor drinketh His blood: but rather eateth and drinketh the sacrament of it to his own damnation.
