It is a comforting and consoling feeling when someone tells us that he or she will be there for us always.
Lovers would say that to each other, parents would say that to their children, and leaders would also say that to their followers
In times of sickness, loneliness, grief or sorrow, we would certainly want someone to be with us and to tell us that we are not alone.
As much as it is comforting and consoling, we also know that there are human limitations.
It is not possible for someone to be with us always, even if that person really wants to.
But what is not possible for humans is certainly not impossible for the divine.
Jesus said this prayer in the gospel: Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am.
Jesus had promised us that He will be with us until the end of time.
And He also prayed that we will be with Him in heaven.
Let us keep that promise and prayer of Jesus in mind always.
That will really comfort and console us here on earth, as well as in heaven above.
