GOSPEL REFLECTION
A place for you in my Father's house
During Jesus' last supper meal with his apostles,
he spoke in plain words to them about his
approaching departure. He tells them that he is
returning to his Father to prepare a place for
them in the Father's house. Jesus not only goes
to secure for his disciples a place of refuge, peace, and security,
he secures for them the best the Father has to offer - intimate
communion, friendship, and joy with the Father at his table (Luke
12:37, Matthew 8:11) and place of rest and refreshment.
Jesus promised his disciples - and each one of us - that he would
return again to personally bring us to the Father's house. Are you
ready to follow the Lord Jesus wherever he wishes to lead you
now and in the future? And do you trust him to bring you safely to
your home with the Father in his kingdom? Paul the Apostle
reminds us that nothing in this world can compare with the glory of
feasting with the Father in his house. "I consider that the sufferings
of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is
to be revealed to us" (Romans 8:18). Is your hope securely placed
in Jesus and his promise to raise you up in glory with him?
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
The disciples were surprised that Jesus was going to his Father's
house and would return to take them with him. And they were even
more surprised when Jesus said he expected them to know the
way to the Father's house. Jesus' answer to there question, "show
us the way", was both a reminder that his disciples should trust
their Master and Teacher to show them the way, and a challenge
for them to recognize that Jesus had intimate knowledge of God
and where God came from. Jesus made a statement that invoked
the very name which God had revealed to Moses, "I am who I
am" (Exodus 3:14), and he made three claims which only God
could make. He stated unequivocally to his disciples: "I
am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6).
Jesus proclaims: I am the Way (John 14:6). He alone knows the
way to the Father because he has been with the Father from the
beginning - before time and creation ever existed. The Lord Jesus
gives us more than a road map and guide book. He personally is
the way to the Father's kingdom, and we cannot miss it if we follow
him. He accompanies us on our daily journey and watches over us
as the good shepherd who leads and sustains us each and every
step of the way. Are you in step with the Lord and do you trust in
his guiding hand for your life?
Jesus proclaims that he is the Truth (John 14:6). Many can say,
"I have taught you the truth." Only Jesus can say, I am the Truth.
He posseses in himself the fulness of truth. Jesus claims to be
one with the Father and to speak the truth which proceeds from
the Father. Jesus promised his disciples that if they continued in
his word, they would learn the truth and the truth would set them
free" (John 8:31). The truth which Jesus proclaims has power to
set us free from ignorance, deception, and sin. The words which
Jesus speaks are true because there is no lie or falsehood in him.
Moral truth requires more than mere words or ideas because the
person who speaks them must be true - true in thought, speech,
deed, example, and action. Jesus embodies the truth in his
person.
Knowing God personally
One of the greatest truths of the Christian faith is
that we can know the living God. Our knowledge
of God is not simply limited to
knowing something about God, but we can know
God personally.
The essence of Christianity, and what makes it distinct from
Judaism and other religions, is the knowledge of God
as our Father. Jesus makes it possible for each of us to personally
know God as our Father. To see Jesus, the only begotten Son of
the Father, is to see what God is like. In Jesus we see the perfect
love of God - a God who cares intensely and who yearns over men
and women, loving them to the point of laying down his life for
them upon the Cross. Jesus is the revelation of God - a God who
loves us completely, unconditionally, and perfectly for our good.
Jesus also promises that God the Father will hear our prayers
when we pray in his name. That is why Jesus taught his followers
to pray with confidence, Our Father who art in heaven... give us
this day our daily bread (Matthew 6:9). Do you pray to your Father
in heaven with joy and confidence in his love and care for you?
Doing the works that Jesus did
Jesus told his disciples that they would do the same works which
he had done - and even greater works! While Jesus was physically
present to his disciples in Galilee and Jerusalem, he was subject
to the physical limitations of time, space, and circumstances. Now
as the Risen Savior who is glorified and seated at the right hand of
the Father in heaven, the Lord Jesus makes his presence and
power known to every place on earth through the power and
presence of the Holy Spirit who lives and works through all the
members of the body of Christ on earth.
Theresa of Avila (1515-1582) wrote: “Christ has no body now but
yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes
through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the
feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through
which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the
feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now
on earth but yours.”
Wherever we go the Lord Jesus wants us to bring the good news
and blessings of his kingdom to as many people as we can. The
Lord Jesus calls us the salt of the earth. He wants us to bring the
flavor of his goodness and holiness into every area of society we
are engaged in. Christ calls us the light of the world. He wants us
to make him known and loved by helping people to see the
radiance of his love and truth and the beauty of his kingdom. That
is why Jesus continues to commission his followers throughout
every age to “make disciples of all nations”(John 17:18, Matthew
28:19).
"Lord Jesus, you fill us with the joy of your saving
presence and you give us the hope of everlasting life with the
Father in Heaven. Show me the Father that I may know and glorify
him more fully." www.dailyscripture.servantsoftheword.org
“Lord, show us the Father.”

Inquiry - Just Looking
Have you ever thought about looking into
the Catholic faith? Adults seeking en-
trance into the Catholic Church, those
just thinking about it, or those non-
Catholics wanting to develop a better
understanding of the Catholic Church are
invited into the process known as the RCIA – the Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults. This process has several stages
and individuals move through those stages according to their
needs and spiritual growth and in accordance with the liturgi-
cal cycle of the Church.
The RCIA process is a rich and diverse formation process
through which individuals can learn and grow in their rela-
tionship with God, their knowledge of the Catholic Church,
and in fellowship with the Parish community.
All non-Catholics and adult Catholics seeking to complete
their Sacraments of Initiation are welcome to join in the pro-
cess. There is no need to make a long-term commitment to
joining the Church. As an inquirer, you may not even be sure
what you think about the Catholic Church and that is
perfectly alright. Our RCIA team is there to listen to your
concerns and to answer your questions about the Church,
her beliefs and her practices.
So, if you are not Catholic or not fully Initiated and have
questions about the Catholic faith, please consider joining
us. If you are just curious about the Catholic Church, join us.
If you attend mass on a regular basis with your family and
are not Catholic and want to learn more about the faith, join
us. If your spouse is Catholic and you have just begun think-
ing about converting to Catholicism, join us. If you just want
to understand who we are and why we do the things we do,
join us. If God is calling you to the Catholic Church, join us.
If you have question and need answers, join us.
If you are interested in attending inquiry sessions, please
contact Shirley Smalley at 480-905-4434 or at
No long-term commitments required.
In the gospel today,
Jesus says “...whoever
believes in me will do
the works that I do,
and will do greater
ones than these, because I am
going to the Father.”
Through your almsgiving you
are performing a good work far
greater than you think. Your
donations to the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul bring Christ’s
love and compassion to the poor.
