ALL THIS TIME, PHILIP?

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me.? To have seen me is to have seen the Father.”  (John 14:7-14).  

Reflection. Poor Philip! That must have been quite a wake up call! And we would sympathise with him because now Jesus is leading his closest followers deeper ang deeper into the mystery of God. And they are struggling to keep up. He is calling them his “friends”, people with who he can really share what is deepest in his heart. Jesus wants them to know that they – and we – are invited into this intimacy even if it is still baffling to us. We cannot get our mind round it but we can sense that ths relationship is the only thing that will satisfy our hungry hearts.

Prayer. Lord, may we thirst to know you. Amen.
