Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Union of Jesus with His Father” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims, “Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. . . As I am in the Father; and the Father is in Me.” Ponder on, “Our Christian faith knows God as Father, our Creator, personally. His Love for us is Merciful and Compassionate. Value Jesus’ Gospel more deeply; and receive the Father’s Love.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 14:6-14
Jesus said: “I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father too. From this moment you know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, ‘Lord, show us the Father and then we shall be satisfied.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, “Show us the Father”?
‘Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I say to you I do not speak of my own accord: it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his works. You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe it on the evidence of these works.
‘In all truth I tell you, whoever believes in me will perform the same works as I do myself, and will perform even greater works, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.’
