Being the apple of God's eye means that we are at the very center of His focus and protection. He loves and protects us even when we are stubborn and rebellious or are caught in the worst of situations. His care for us remains constant.

This introit is divided into two parts: The first sentence expresses a certain distance, even uncertainty. The second sentence finds peace and safety and calmness.

Today we are invited to consider our journey to know God’s will and to locate our thoughts and deeds within God’s will. We must claim our faith as it is now and dedicate our lives to what it will be. God is the one who made everything, the one without whom nothing exists.

This introit is long and quite complex. It addresses God directly. What are these things that God has done to me? It is certainly true that I have sinned against God and not obeyed His commandments. Does God really want me to think about my sin right now, right before mass?

Let’s take God up on His word. Let’s not save God for only the really hard things. God looks to us in mercy, saves us, and holds us tenderly. Let’s not waste God’s passion for us and our holy energy trying to figure out who is the greatest.

The introit serves to ground us firmly: knowing who God is, who we are and why we gather. We will need to have this disposition if we are to be present to the serious instructions in the Scriptures we hear today.

God’s merciful love waits upon us every hour of every day, whether we are sleeping or awake, aware of God’s presence or not.

We begin this Sunday with the reminder, yet again, that our best course is to commit ourselves to God’s care. We may expect comfort from God, when we keep up our communion with God.

When we hear the exhortations to God from His people (us) beginning the mass, we are invited to re-member. Re-membering is one of the miracles that happens at mass. We come as separate members of this Body and by God’s invitation, beginning with our baptism and reinforced weekly in the Introit and Lessons, we arrive at the Table of the Eucharist as One.

We come to mass today asked to join with heaven to “praise the Son of God.” As Christians, we are privileged to spend our lives on the happy and difficult path that leads to Christ. We are constantly striving to praise the Son of God in our words and deeds and to understand what constitutes praise. Today’s feast and its lessons show us an individual who gave unequalled praise to the Son of God.

The close of the Gospel today gives us God’s eternal answer. “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
