GOSPEL OF ST.JOHN

“Pay attention to what I say, my son. Listen to my words. Never let them get away from you. Remember them and keep them in your heart. They will give life and health to anyone who understands them.” 
(Prov. 4:20-22)

JESUS THE WAY TO THE FATHER

“Do not be worried and upset,” Jesus told them. “Believe in God and believe also in Me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so. And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am. You know the way that leads to the place where I am going.”

Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; so how can we know the way to get there?”

Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me. Now that you have known me,” He said to them, “you will know my Father also, from now on you do know Him and you have seen Him.”

Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father; that is all we need.”

Jesus answered, “For a long time I have been with you all; yet You do not know Me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. Why then, do you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ Do you not believe, Philip that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have spoken to you,” Jesus said to His disciples, “do not come from me. The Father, who remains in me, does His own work. 

Believe Me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. If not, believe because of the things I do—yes, He will do even greater things , because I am going to the Father.  And I will do whatever you ask for in My name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in My Name, I will do it.” (John 14: 1-14)

This is the Word of the Lord

Thanks be to Lord Jesus Christ! Amen
