Believe in me

By Rev. Fr. Henry C. Frascadore

when the crowd  finally caught up with Jesus in Capernaum

someone in the crowd asked

"what can we do to accomplish the works of God?"

Jesus answered simply

"the work of God is to believe in me

listen to what I say

imitate what I do

watch how I treat people

the poor and the wealthy

the sick and the well                                                                                           More about Fr. Henry

those on the inside

and those on the outside

those who are oppressed by the law

and those who impose the law

those who think they have all the answers

and those who know they haven't

those who consider themselves sinless

and those who know that they have sinned

if you want to do the work of God

believe in me

serve the needs of others

and serve them with the best you have within yourselves

and love them not because a commandment tells you to

but because you have learned from me that only

by loving others can you ever hope to  live fully

believe in me

and you will never hunger or thirst for

things that cannot satisfy

believe in me

and you will perform the work of God

unbeknown to yourself

Jesus Christ at Capernaum

for it is I living in you and through you

believe in me

and you have already

begun to live on God's time

and not on yours"

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
