WE ARE NOT ORPHANS

Sixth Sunday of Easter Year C John 14:23-29 Our gospel for today speaks about the farewell discourse of Jesus. He is going away but He is not leaving us alone. “ I am going but I am coming to you.” Let me begin my reflection with this story: A boy find $100 dollars in the trail. He went home and share the story to his dad. Son: Dad I found $100 bucks on the trail this morning. Dad: What did you do to the $100? Son: I took another $100 from my pocket and I left it close to $100 in that trail. Dad: Why did you do that? Son: I did it because I know how it feels to be alone. I left another hundred dollars so that; that $100 there will have company. This story reminds us that God is going home but He will never leave us orphans. Friends, don’t worry. Do not be a worrier but be a warrior. Whatever worries you have today, give it all to Jesus. Do not worry because He is assuring us of peace. Peace is the result when we know that God is in control. “I am giving you my peace.”Friends, I’ll just wanted you to know that someone up there cares for you. His name is Jesus. Today, do not feel like you are alone because you are not. Always remember that in some way or another, you are somebody’s angel even if you don’t know it. They love you and think of you even if you don’t hear it eveyday. Trust that there is love around you even if you cannot feel it. Be brave! Fill your mind with optimistic thoughts. Blessings Fr. Jhack
