Living in the Vision of John the Evangelist: John Speaks to the World of Today

by Fr. Peter E. Hammett, OSB

These reflections are a study of the themes in the Gospel of St. John and how the spirituality of this Gospel can speak to some of the chaos we experience in today's world. In identifying some of the problems that plague our world today this reflection will offer insight into how John saw the reality of the Risen Lord and gift of the Spirit and how Faith in Father, Son, and Spirit can guide us through the maze in which we live.

Themes discussed are the power of the Word and how we can change the way we speak, the struggle between light and darkness, human hungers and the Bread of Life, the striving for more and more life, entering into the mystery of Jesus, the Last Supper Discourse of Jesus and the quest for unity in the midst of diversity.

John's gospel does indeed offer a spirituality for our times and challenges us believers who wish to take Jesus seriously and make a difference in our world.
