Nicodemus Visiting Jesus was inspired by the Gospel of John, 3:1-21. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

Human: (1) a culture-bearing primate classified in the genus Homo. (2) a rational soul which has a body (anima rationalis habens corpus). (3) the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape. (4) what God desired to become and make His dwelling among.

[saltofthearth]

At the end of the Gospel that we read today in the Church, it is interesting that John 6, 66 reads: "From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him." Indeed, it is the work of the devil to leave Christ and his Church.

IF JESUS HAD DIED IN 2000

Paul would be writing his various letters* in the 2020's *the letters that most scholars consider genuine; Galatians, 1 Thessalonians, 1-2 Corinthians, Romans, Philipians & Philemon - a generation later and having never known Jesus in person

Gospel of Mark won't be written until around the 2030's - with no claims of Jesus' virgin birth, ascension and divinity

Gospel of Matthew won't be written until around the 2040's - with the first record of virgin birth, Bethlehem origin, guards & angel at tomb

Gospel of Luke won't be written until around the 2050's - with the first record of a post-resurrection Jesus eating, appearing & disappearing and ascension to heaven

Gospel of John won't be written until around the 2060's - with the first record of the incarnation of Jesus (god-man), divinity claims of Jesus, the seven "I am" sayings of Jesus and Jesus' lengthy discourse with Pilate

This sure sounds like something that people just made up.

[apenitentialprayer]

Contemplation thus involves having, in Christ Jesus whose face is constantly turned to the Father (cf. Jn 1:18), a gaze transfigured by the working of the Holy Spirit, a gaze full of awe at God and His wonders. [...] It is not by chance that contemplation is born of faith; indeed, faith is both the door and the fruit of contemplation.

Pope Francis (Vultum Dei quaerere, §11)

[pink-fiat003]

In today's homily, the priest was pointing out that when Jesus is risen, and he walks into the room where the disciples were hiding - he opened the closed doors to get in.

"On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, 'Peace be with you.'" (Jn. 20:19)

My priest was using this as an analogy - where in our lives do we have a closed door that we could open up, with the help of Jesus? What is a closed door we are afraid of opening, that could be healed if we just let God in? I'm still meditating on it, I need to spend the week thinking about what my closed door is.
