Beguiled by the Father

It’s terrible to think on this title: Beguiled by the Father; but I think it’s worst to imagine to be indoctrinated into a religion.

The title is a mere way of provoking the attention of those who are so cautious on this matter, but we should never forget that the bottom line of a vocation is a love story with God: 

 

O Lord, You induced me, and I was persuaded;

You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. Jer 20:7

Nothing will happen in our life if The Father does not talk to our hearts. We can have wonderful ideas of God but He doesn’t dwell in us, unless we learn from Him:

«Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.

Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.»

When Peter was able to reply Who was Jesus and profess He is the Messiah, Jesus rippled: 

“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.”

The Father who makes all things possible. Only the Father knows everything : Mt 24:36 « ...about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.»

The journey with the Father, being in dialogue with Him, He will never abandon His children. If the worst human father will do everything to give food to his children, so how much more the Heavenly Father. So that’s why The Father gives us Jesus as the Bread of Life. «... the living bread which has come from heaven; whoever eats of this bread will live forever. The bread I shall give is my flesh and I will give it for the life of the world.» 

The Father wants us to have Eternal life and the whole world will know it, because of the life glowing in us.

Gospel Reading:  Jn 6:44-51

Jesus addressed the crowd, "No one can come to me unless he is drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise him up on the last day. It has been written in the Prophets: They shall all be taught by God. So whoever listens and learns from the Father comes to me.

"For no one has seen the Father except the One who comes from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.

"I am the bread of life. Though your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, they died. But here you have the bread which comes from heaven so that you may eat of it and not die.

"I am the living bread which has come from heaven; whoever eats of this bread will live forever. The bread I shall give is my flesh and I will give it for the life of the world."
