Jesus tells Peter: "Unless I wash you, you have no share with me." (Jn 13: 8) This can speak to us of prevenient grace. Unless we recognize the God's acts ahead of us and gives us the grace to respond to his love we will not truly have a share in his mission: "For the love of Christ urges us on." (2 Cor 5: 14) Let us be open to his grace, especially this Easter. We need to be humble enough to accept Jesus' example and lead. Otherwise, our faith can be self-indulgent and self-willed. In this way we would work for ourselves and not for the Lord. Thus, there would be no share in the mission of Christ because we are acting out our own mission.
