Reflection
The way to God’s kingdom is through a person.
Jesus in the Gospel for this Sunday identifies himself
as the Way. He is not one way among many but simply
‘the Way’. He is the one who fully reveals
the Father and who leads us into the fullness of truth
and life. In fact, he identifies himself as truth
and life. No other religious leader ever defined himself
in such terms, but then again, no other religious
leader is the divine Son of God. Jesus can define
himself in these terms because this is the reality
of who he is: the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Deaths
We pray for the recently deceased:
Kevin Love, Eden Street and Belfast;
Jacqueline Parkes, Dublin;
Ann Murphy (née Fee late of
Riverside), Downpatrick, Co Down;
May Martin, 14 The Bawn.
Margaret Drugan, Macken. May
they rest in peace.
