Today’s Catholic Reflection
In Antioch, Paul spoke to the synagogue about salvation. He shared how the leaders in Jerusalem did not recognize Jesus and condemned him. This was in line with the prophecies they read each week. They found no reason to execute him, they insisted on his death. After his burial, God raised him from the dead, and Paul shared that many witnesses saw Jesus alive. His resurrection fulfilled the promises made to their ancestors.
In the Gospel, Jesus offered comfort to his disciples. He told them not to be troubled and encouraged them to have faith in him. He spoke of his Father's house, saying there are many dwelling places and that he would prepare a place for them. When Thomas expressed his confusion way, Jesus clarified that he is the way, the truth, and the life. No one can reach the Father except through him.
