The Gospel of the Lord. let you have a seat so um we just had our last week of finals last weekend last week and i was just thinking i was you know in those in those times i sometimes reflect on man why did i choose to go to school where i went to school like they just got done a lot of our graduates just graduated now they're off wherever um and i think wow i i chose to go to the school i went to for a very particular reason. So I've mentioned many, many times that in high school I had a conversion. I had an encounter with Jesus in confession that just really changed my life. And that kind of set my life on this track of just wanting to learn more about who God is. And at one point, I heard today's second reading. And I was like, that's what I need.

It's this co-inherence, this weaving together. I'm in you, you in me, we in them, they in us. What's being described here, it's the heart of the Christian thing, everybody, is the father sent the son all the way out to God forsaken us that he might gather us into the love that the Father and Son share, whose name is the Holy Spirit. All of this, Germans have that lovely term, in einander, the one in the other, this circumcession, this co-inherence, that's a mark of Christianity. What's the name for all this? Love.

Therefore, I am in you. This is the picture. Jesus is giving us everything He has. All that He had, He poured out on the disciples. All that He has, He pours out on us, even through His very Spirit, His presence living inside of us. And this is huge.

Chapter 14 and verse 20, on that day, he's speaking about the day when the Holy Spirit comes, on that day, you will know I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you. What's he saying here?
