Gospel Jn 14:1-6
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
I heard an interesting homily on the Gospel verse at Mass this morning. I don’t remember all of it, but Father summed it up by saying that whenever he hear the phrase, “I am the way and the truth and the life,” it is a powerful reminder that it is only by entering into a personal relationship with Jesus that we can come to the Father through Him and enter eternal life.
On a Sad note I went to St Peter Chanel here in Georgia for Noon Mass. The priest told us something. Today is graduation day for High school. Well one of the students died last nite before she would have graduate. So sad. Please pray for family.
