Saturday, May 09, 2020 - Fourth week of Easter Time - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. John 14, 7-14 - If you remain in my word, you are truly my disciples, you shall know the truth, says the Lord.
Again and again, Jesus commends hope to us. It is frequent to encounter in the Bible the word "God" or "Father Creator of all things". He is the principle of everything, so it is not surprising that we seek to know him. One cannot blame Philip when he asks Jesus: "Lord, show us the Father; that is enough for us". The answer: "The Father and I are one," says Jesus. He is the face of the invisible Father. Those who thirst to know God can hope to see Him in Jesus and must quench that thirst in Jesus.
