“The Way Home: Trusting Jesus in Mission”
“For the Souls in Purgatory – Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord”
John 14:1-6
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.
Grace Prayed For
The grace of deep trust in Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and confidence in His abiding presence in your mission.
Reflection
Listen to Jesus’ tender reassurance: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” In the radiance of the Resurrection, these words pulse with new life. He has gone before you, piercing the veil of death, and is preparing a place for you in the heart of the Father. This is not a distant promise but a living reality, unfolding here and now, as you walk the path of discipleship.
Jesus does not merely point the way—He is the Way. He is the Truth that sets your heart free, and He is the Life that conquers every shadow of death. As you step into your mission, sent forth to make disciples of all nations, you are never alone. The Risen Lord walks with you, guiding your every step toward the fullness of His Father’s house. His Resurrection power transforms your journey, turning fear into faith and uncertainty into abiding peace.
Growing in Intimacy/Union with Jesus
This passage invites us into a profound closeness with Jesus by reminding us that He Himself is our destination and our path. Every time we entrust our fears, follow His way, and cling to His promises, we enter deeper into His heart. In our mission to make disciples, we discover that intimacy with Him is both the source and the goal of all we do.
When Time Allows Reflect on the Posts in Library and Musings
Sharing
Jesus last words on Earth were to his disciples, can be found in Matthew Chap 28 when Jesus told his disciples, “Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
Jesus calls all of us to share in his redemptive mission here on Earth. I would ask you to share this Scripture reflection with your family, your friends and your acquaintances, and then share it with a couple of individuals that you may may not be comfortable sharing with, keeping in mind always the words of Jesus, And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age
