May 3, 2023 Reflection – “I am the way, the truth, and the life!”
I am the way, the truth and the life! May 3, 2023 “Jesus said to Thomas “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) We have heard these words from Jesus many times. But I never stop marveling at how important they are. We live our lives on earth, trying to survive. We must travel through time, moving from childhood to young adulthood, then into adulthood with all the complexities that go with it. We are on a way. But, we don’t always understand the goal of this way. It is only as we become aware of death, that the way takes on meaning. We then seek truth to come to understand this reality of death. What does this way we are on lead us to? Afterlife? Heaven? Nothing? Hell? We need the truth which can give meaning and light to the way we are on. We begin to discover that the truth of it is that we are on our way to our death, but that death just can’t be the end. Every fiber of our being tells us we can’t die. And that is when Jesus is revealed to us as the “LIFE”! Jesus leads us on the way, with the truth, to Eternal Life!!! And even better, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!! Our Lady gave us this message: June 25, 2020 “Dear children! I am listening to your cries and prayers, and am interceding for you before my Son Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Return, little children, to prayer and open your hearts in this time of grace and set out on the way of conversion. Your life is passing and, without God, does not have meaning. This is why I am with you to lead you towards holiness of life, so that each of you may discover the joy of living. I love you all, little children, and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our lives do not have meaning without God. Jesus embodies all that we need to know to find meaning in our lives. Once we find Him we find joy!! May we follow our Mother’s advice, returning to prayer and seeking grace in these days, so that we will find our Way, Truth and Life…Jesus! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV
