The Catholic Calendar for Friday, April 26, 2002 Fourth Week of Easter Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word: Acts 13:26-33 Psalm 2:6-11 John 14:1-6 A Reflection on today's Holy Scripture . . . Sometimes we have a tendency to forget what we are all really about. Oh, if we could take seriously the words from today's Gospel. How are lives could be simplified! "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me" (John 14:1). Jesus goes on to say that He's going ahead to prepare a place for us; and then He will come back for us and we'll be with Him for eternity. We humans keep looking for something more complicated in our relationship with God. He's speaking to us today as His beloved children in the simplest of ways and tells us we know the way! We didn't receive a road map from Jesus so that we could follow the route numbers on our way; but He has given us His very own example of how to live and love. The Psalm tells us that we're God's sons and daughters. Let us deeply believe that He is the way, the truth and the life, our heavenly home, that special place prepared by the loving hands of God. Dear Lord, allow me to reconsecrate my life to you to renew my baptismal vows, that gift which gave me the grace to follow you always.
