Ways to belong to the Flock: Let nothing disturb you!
Friday, 4th week in Eastertide
27th April, 2018: Acts 13: 26-33; Jn 14: 1-6
The fifth way to belong to the Lord's flock is to be aware of the presence of the Lord and not letting anything disturb us. Let nothing disturb you, says the Lord in the Gospel today and repeats the same in our personal lives.
Jesus is the promise and the fulfilment, he is the way and the destiny, he is the truth and the true meaning of our life. When we have the Lord, we shall lack nothing; when we do not have him with us, nothing can complete us. At times when crises seem to surround us and situations threaten to overpower us, all that we need to do is - take a deep breath and say: I have the truth, I know the way, I have my life - because the Lord is with us!
Nothing can disturb us beyond a limit, if they do we are not sufficiently rooted in the Lord. When we are not sufficiently rooted in the Lord, we cannot be true witnesses to the Lord. If we cannot truly witness to the Lord, we share no goodnews to the world. When we share no goodnews to the world our Christian life is empty! How can we hear the Father say: You are my son, my daughter; today I have become your father and your mother?
