BIBLE REFLECTION – 5th Sunday of Easter JN 14:1-12
“ Do not let your hearts be troubled”
“ I am the way, the truth and the life”

Jesus says “ I am the way, the life and the truth!” Three important words. Without the way we cannot walk. Without the truth we cannot be certain. Without life, there is only death! Jesus explains that he is the way because “ No one can come to the Father except through me!” He is the door through which the sheep enter and leave. Jesus is the truth because seeing him we see the image of the Father. “ If you know me, you know my Father too!” Jesus is the life because if we walk in his footsteps we shall be united to the Father and shall have life in us.

Jesus said, “ In my Father’s house there are many places to live in”. What do these words mean for you today?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, we thank for the word that has enabled us to understand better the will of the Father. May your Spirit enlighten our actions and grant us the strength to practice that which your Word has revealed to us. May we, like Mary, your mother, not only listen to but also practice the Word. Who lives and reigns with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever. Amen.
