"You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life." ‭John‬ ‭5:39-40‬

Can you imagine Jesus's anguish and concern for all, whom He is trying to point the way to His Father, and we are rejecting the message as well as the messenger.   "Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John‬ ‭14:6‬  The way Jesus lived, how He treated others and His life, points to Our Father, if He is the answer why do we not seek Him out more?   Why do we not do what He did more?  This is 2018 but we are no different than in the time of Jesus, we too are a stiff necked people.  Jesus is life, scripture points to Him, do you point to Him, maybe if more of us would point to Him more would believe.   ‭"[Jesus] said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." John‬ ‭20:21‬.   He sends you into the world to live it.

Dear Father God, You love us that much that You give us Jesus.  May we accept His message and His messengers.  May we change our ways and be open to Your Holy Spirit.  Bring peace back where there is anger.  Bring hope back where there is despair.  I pray for a family that is finding their way back to You, wrap Your arms around them and guide their journey with love.  Thank You Jesus for knocking and thank You God for giving me the courage to open the door.  I ask this through the only way to live, Jesus Christ, Amen.  

Mary, Immaculate Mother, pray for us.  
St. Joseph Most Faithful, Pray for us!
