Jesus’ disciples said, ‘Yes, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure of speech! Now we know that you know all things, and do not need to have anyone question you; by this we believe that you came from God.’ Jesus answered them, ‘Do you now believe? The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!’

Ann, I just want to “ditto” the thank you that Vincent has given you and and Scott for this reflection. I don’t really know or understand what heaven will be like. Yet, it is wondrous to be open more and more and more to the mystery of God’s love.
Continued blessings on your preaching,
