THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD – 5th SUNDAY OF EASTER

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the 5th Sunday of Easter. This Sunday gives us the special power for our way through this world. This is the power of Jesus Christ Resurrected – He is our way, our truth and our life. – He leads us to God our Father by his death, resurrection and ascension. “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. And will do the marvelous things by faith”.

For us the Eucharist which we celebrate each Sunday is the station on the way to God our Father: Here we hear the Word of God, and we eat the body and blood of Christ. Here our lives get the new meaning. This is the station to strengthen our spirit and also our flesh.

“In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.”

One Main Point

Jesus announced his departure from the world and reassured his disciples that he is going to prepare a place for them at the Father’s house. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; and only through him can we establish a relationship with the Father.

Reflections

  1. Imagine yourself at the last supper with Jesus. What would be your thoughts and attitude? What questions would you ask him about where and why he is going?
  2. Thomas expressed his confusion: “Master, we do not know where you’re going so how can we know the way?” Does this question reflect my confusion about the direction and the goal in my spiritual life?
