FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 14th MAY 2017
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God still, and
trust in me.” Jn 14:1
The gospel presents Jesus as the guide in life, the ‘way,
truth and life’. The Christian centre is the person of
Christ. Our work for Jesus and our love for people, no
matter what our calling in life, flow from this. Mother
Teresa was once asked why she did what she did, and
she simply said ‘for Jesus’. This centre always holds, it
cannot be unhinged. It is a deeply personal relationship:
we are led by Jesus ‘one by one’, known by name, not as
one of a group. We follow him as one we know, not a
stranger.
We study his life and times, getting to know the places
and events of his life, we become familiar with the
gospels and get to know him in the heart. Prayer is the
way of keeping our centre of conviction and motivation
strong. Freedom grows and we begin to find him
everywhere.
