Come and see

“‘We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.’ But Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come from Nazareth?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see.’” (JN 1: 45-46)

“We have found Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth” was a great joy for Philip, who immediately shared this with Nathanael. The Good News proclaimed in words also should be visible, not for a passive observer but rather for an active prospector: “come and see.” When we share our faith with others, we can expect some expectations: show me your faith.

“Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.” (Gospel Acclamation)
