Acts 13:26-33 / John 14:1-6  

The language of the world is a language we are familiar with, because we hear it every day.

And that language forms ideas and concepts like efficiency, productivity, excellence, results, gains and profits.

But when we think about those concepts and ideas of the world, we may notice that there is one essential aspect that is missing.

And that essential aspect is the person; or collectively speaking, people are not that important in the dynamics.

In the language of Christianity, what is essential and important is the person, or people.

In the 1st reading, St. Paul says this: We have come to tell you the Good News.

The Good News is not about gains or profits. The Good News is about God’s saving love for humanity, God’s saving love for you and me.

In the gospel, Jesus tells us not to let our hearts be troubled.

Because we are distracted and disturbed by the ways of the world that makes us anxious and worrisome.

But Jesus tells us to trust in God and to trust in Him.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Let us speak the language of the Way, the Truth and the Life of Jesus.

That is the Good News that we can tell the world.
