4th Week of Easter, Saturday, 17-05-14

Acts 13:44-52 / John 14:7-14

Generally speaking, we bear a certain resemblance to our parents.

Whether be it in the looks, or the character, or the habits, there is a certain connection between us and our parents.

In the gospel, Jesus said that if we know Him, we will know the Father. And to see Him is to see the Father.

So do we know Jesus? And do we see Him?

In the Eucharist, we receive Jesus. In the Eucharist, we come into communion with Jesus. He is connected to each of us.

And if we look closely at each other, we will slowly begin to see that we do have many similarities, be it physical or spiritual.

And if we look deeply enough and make a reflection about it, then we will see that we are all made in a certain image.

Yes, each of us is made in the image of God our Father. And Jesus came to restore this image that has been distorted by sin.

So, as we look at each other, may we see Jesus in each other, and when we can see Jesus in each other, we will also begin to do the works that Jesus Himself did.
