Today's Gospel Verses
John 14: 6 - 8
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know[a] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Today's Reflection
In Today's 1st Reading St. Paul States in Definite Terms that CHRIST Died, was Buried, & was Raised Again. CHRIST was Raised with a New Glorified Body for HE Appeared to & was Seen by Various Others.
The Resurrection of JESUS is a 'Truth' of Christian Faith.
In Today's Gospel JESUS Tells Us that HE is the Way that Leads Us to the Goal of Reaching the FATHER.
JESUS' Return to the FATHER is Not just a Individual Attachment, but the Opening of a Path to GOD for All of Us. HE is the Way because HE is the Only Mediator between GOD & Human Beings. HE Reveals to Us the FATHER. HE became Human Precisely that We might See the FATHER in HIM. In HIM We Truly Know GOD. HE is the 'Truth' & the 'Life'.
Good Morning
Have a great day
Happy Feast of Sts. Philip and James
GOD Bless you all
