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:
Do you want to find meaning in your life?
Do you want to find meaning in your life?
Perhaps many of us are already tired of the drudgery
of life, It may seem that life is just a routine. We wake-up in the morning, go
to work and go home, then the next morning we do the same once again. As if we
live like robots in this world; there is no clear path that would point us to
something meaningful and profound.
In our gospel for today Jesus gives us a revelation
on how to have a meaningful and profound life in this world. Jesus tells us, “I
am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through me (John 14:6).” What does this statement of Jesus represent to us?
Does this impel us to hunger for Him daily? Or there is no effect at all and
there’s no feeling of urgency to know more about Jesus.
When Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and the
life. He was ingeniously telling His disciples to follow Me and you’ll know the
truth about life. That the true meaning of life has nothing to do with anything
of this world. What you cling now in this world is nothing compared to what you’ll
receive if only you would decide to follow me. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
