Writing: Easter Sunday 5 th
Acts 6, 1-7, 1 Peter 2, 4-9; Juan 14, 1-12 GOSPEL
At that time Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not miss the calm, believe in God and believe also in me In my Father's house are many rooms, otherwise I would have said, and I go to prepare a place.
if I go and prepare a place, again and receive you unto myself that where I am ye may be also. And everywhere I go, you know the road.
Thomas tells him: "Sir, we know not where you go. How can we know the way?
Jesus replied: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you knew me, you would know my Father also. Now I know and have seen him.
Philip said: "Lord, show us the Father and it suffices us.
Jesus replied: "It's so I'm with you, and do not know me, Philip? Who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father? Do not you think I am in the Father and the Father in me?
What I say I do not speak self. The Father who dwells in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me. If not, believe the works. I assure you: he that believeth in me, he also do the works that I do, and even higher. Because I go unto my Father.
COMMENT
first arrived in New York a woman asked him: please, where is the post office? He could not tell me the path.
Anyway I thanked him and told him to come to church on Sunday and I would show him the way that leads to heaven.
not think it will because if you do not know the way to the office of e least know the way to heaven.
In English there is a lovely word "homesick", ie longing for home, longing for the homeland and get a return ticket home.
Today's Gospel has a note of nostalgia. The Lord says to his disciples: I go home to my Father's house.
site for everyone. Jesus does not want to be alone. I am the way and came to the world to teach the way that leads home. Thomas
you listen closely, he interrupted and said: If we do not know where you are going, how can we know the way?
Thomas is asking the road map. Philip
Jesus also said: Teach us a picture Father and that is enough for us.
I am the way and the highway.
I am the end of the trip.
I am the picture of the Father.
The followers of Jesus before Christians were called "the-roaders."
Follow the road is to be "homesick", open to God, a way of life, incorporate a GPS, to know that there is an exit
Some well-marked ... to find the path to the Father's house will look in the Bible or the thousands of books circulating around or consult Google but the best way to find him is to ask someone who's been there. The only one who has been there is Jesus.
Once a student asked the famous theologian Karl Barth was not God manifested in other religions as well as in Christianity and he replied: "God has not revealed itself to any religion or even Christianity. God has revealed Himself in His Son ".
Christians are called to believe in a person, a person living in a person who not only speaks for God but God.
San Pedro's letter reminds us of the four titles that Christians are to display: Race chosen priestly people, a holy nation and people of God.
What are these titles?
To remind us that despite our humanity, with its miseries and scandals, we are also divine.
is God who has brought us to his Church, has chosen us, empowers us to offer this sacrifice and will gather us all in the house of joy, in heaven, where there are many farms and where we are all praising and celebrating Victory of Faith, hope and love.
We who believe in Jesus Christ are the "roaders" and pointed to others with our words and our deeds.
REPORT: The stumbling
was once a king who placed a huge stone on the road. And I used to hide and watch to see if anyone bothered to remove the huge rock.
Some of the richest merchants and courtiers looked at her and just gave a rodeo. Many loudly, cursed the king for not having the roads passable but none did anything to remove it.
One day a farmer came there with his load of vegetables. As he approached the stone, put down his burden and tried to take the stone to the side of the road. After many efforts he succeeded.
When picking your vegetables, he noticed a bag on the floor where he had been the stone. The bag contained many gold coins and a note of the king who said that the money was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. P. Félix Jiménez Tutor, Piarist
