Friday 8th
Gospel Reading – John 14:1-6
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.”

Reflection:
Jesus tell us in reply to doubting Thomas, that he is the way, the truth and the life and if we believe in him, we too will have life and have it to the full. Jesus is the only way to the Father, he has told us this so many times in these last few days. Jesus is the embodiment of the truth he speaks about and he is the one who gives life to our Eucharistic Celebration and everything we do.
• What in my life keep’s me from living out my belief in Jesus Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life?
• How can I live in a way, which manifests Jesus as the source and purpose of my life?
