Tuesday within the Octave of Easter

“I will be with you only a little while longer,
John 7:33
and then I will go to the one who sent me.“
Go to my brothers and tell them,
I am going to my Father and your Father,
to my God and your God.
Traditional Chinese Translation
《到我弟兄那裡去》
你往我弟兄那裡去，告訴他們説，
我要升上去見我的父，也是你們的父，
見我的神，也是你們的神。
Brother Jesus! Of note is the way Jesus called his disciples, “my brothers” and pointed out their oneness with him and the Father. His familiar address reminds me that we are the family of God.
Dear GMC, I appreciate your reflection and cenaclemary12’s reply. As Pope Francis writes in Fratelli Tutti: “A worldwide tragedy like the COVID-19 pandemic momentarily revived the sense that we are a global community, all in the same boat, where one person’s problems are the problems of all. Once more we realized that no one is saved alone; we can only be saved together.” Thank you both for enlightening your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Toda, toda! Alleluia! 🐌 Toda is “thank you” in Hebrew.
