Acts of the Apostles: 13:26-33

Psalm 2

John 14:1-6

Jesus told his disciples …”I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.”  John 14:3

Lord, these words had to be comforting to your disciples at the Last Supper. You had said you were going away and they didn’t know what to make of that. Your promise to keep me always in your heart because of your love for me is comforting for me also. At times I’m so caught up in my unworthiness and sinfulness that I wonder how you can love me so much. You proved your love for me by becoming like me in every way but sin. You were tempted and despised and unjustly accused and crucified because of your love for all of us. Dear Jesus you have shown us the way to the Father so lead the way. You are the way, the truth and the life. So if I keep my heart open to your love and stay focused on the path you lead me on I will be with you forever in one of the beautiful dwelling places you have prepared just for me. I need to remember your love is unconditional and is extended to the most unworthy among us. Lord, I long to be with you so in whatever time I have left in this world I want to spend it in union with your heart and open to whatever you desire.  Amen Alleluia
