PRAYER PAUSE
Friday 27 April 2018, Peter
Canisius
I AM
THE WAY
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: Thomas said, “Lord we do not know where you
are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth
and the Life. No one can come to the
Father except through me.” (John 14:1-6)
Reflection. Sometimes we search the
media for answers or we look for books that will explain how we should live. We
may go to prophets or wise teachers. All these have their place. Yet we know now that in the end there is just
one person who can open up the way to life for us and everything else is simply
a pale reflection of him. In these last
imtimate moments with his disciples Jesus reveals, ever more deeply, that God
has sent him into the world so that the world may find life. They have the task of proclaiming this – as Paul
does to the Pisidians in today’s first reading (Acts 13:26ff). The way is not a law or a rule. It is a
person, a person who loves us and gives his life for us.
Prayer. Lord, help us to know you,
love you and follow you more closely. Amen
