Thought for the Day: Jesus is already now, today, our way, our truth and our life. As the Gospel says, to have eternal life is to believe in him whom God has sent (Jn 5:24; 17:3). This is a reality for us now and it guides our life, in matters great and small. At the core of this reality is trust, that is, the capacity to entrust all that we have and are to the living God and to his Son, raised from the dead. It is not an accident that the verb “to believe” occurs no fewer than ninetyeight times in the Fourth Gospel. Prayer: You gave us Jesus, the Word made flesh as Mediator, and he has spoken your words to us and called us to follow him. He is the way that leads us to you, the truth that sets us free, the life that fills us with gladness. Amen.
(Fr Kieran O’Mahony)

Pope Leo XIV on X: Our mission calls us to be “bridges” and “channels” of peace, even before trying to build it with our limited human efforts, especially in the face of those who do not seek it as a gift from God. May the grace that comes from heaven find its way through the folds of history.
