Jesus said to his disciples: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows him. But you know him, because he remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” John 14:15-21

In the todays reading Jesus speaks of not leaving the disciples as orphans even though he will soon be physically leaving the disciples. Jesus is in them and they are in Jesus. Just like the disciples we too yearn to be near Jesus, longing to belong, to be loved and to be part of a family. Faith is the key to this relationship. It is the acceptance of a personal revelation from God and choosing to live according to that revelation. Faith also unites us with one another. We are no longer orphans but brothers and sisters in Christ. Reflect today on how you can experience the membership of being in God’s family today through living in accordance with God’s commandments, prayer, and daily acts of love.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, 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.” John 14:1-12

In today’s reading as Philip struggled with Jesus’ words, we too have moments of confusion with God’s ways that we have trouble grasping. The answers to questions are not always straight forward or immediate. As God reveals a kernel of truth to us, we must ponder it as the divine mystery is revealed and we understand little by little if we are open to it. Answers come as we conform our wills to God’s. Divine mysteries can only be understood through prayer and deep reflection. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Only in prayer will we discover the path we must follow, the truth we need to hear and the life we are called to live. Reflect today on something you struggle to understand. Do not lose heart but instead allow the fulness of Jesus’ divine truth to sink in gradually. Read the Gospels, spend time in prayer, be open and listen from the depths of your heart. Seek out His voice and know that He is your Way, Truth, and Life. Let Christ lead you and reveal to you the mysteries of his divine wisdom so that you too know the way to the Father.

Jesus said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.” Although Jesus used this figure of speech, the Pharisees did not realize what he was trying to tell them.

So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” John 10:1-10

In today’s reading Jesus speaks about being the Shepherd, calling His flock to follow Him. The sheep recognize His voice and follow Him. The people who listen are attuned to God and respond to Jesus as the Shepherd. The Pharisees who were prideful because of their religious knowledge did not respond to Jesus’  voice and failed to recognize Jesus as the true Shepherd. The Pharisees saw Jesus as a stranger to their religious beliefs and practices so they did not respond to his voice. Reflect today on whether you respond to Jesus’ voice or if you are like the Pharisees and dismiss His voice as that of a stranger. Familiarize yourself with Jesus and listen to His voice. You will begin to see His glory in ways you have not seen before through the eyes of faith.

That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, “What are you discussing as you walk along?” They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?” And he replied to them, “What sort of things?” They said to him, “The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see.” And he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the Scriptures. As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther. But they urged him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the eleven and those with them who were saying, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread. Luke 24:13-35

Reflect today on the initial confusion of the two disciples, who were filled with sorrow and uncertainty about the recent events that unfolded surrounding Christ. Think about how over time the growth in faith they likely experienced in the months and years that followed as they came to understand and believe that Christ was the Messiah – the Savior of the World. Whenever you face confusion and doubts think of the example of the two disciples and learn the lessons taught them. Seek Christ in His word and the sacraments and trust in Him to dispel any doubts and uncertainty in your life and guide you to greater faith.

Thought and Songs for Today

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name. John 20:19-31

Reflect today on the divine mercies that Jesus bestowed upon his disciples in todays passage: the gift of the Holy Spirit giving the power to forgive sins, Jesus lovingly accepting Thomas and his doubts thus connecting mercy and forgiveness. Jesus blesses us who have not seen yet believe. Our faith assures us that love conquers all.
