For 26 April 2024, Friday of the fourth week of Easter, based on John 14:1-6
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.’ Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Thanks, Connie! Seems like “hanging on” and “letting go” are trust choices we make often these days!

Thanks Connie for the reminder that even when we are just “hanging on” we can trust in God.

we are hanging on too: my boyfriend of 61 years had complicated eye surgery this week; so far it seems to be healing well, but his ears and back are 91 yrs old so we are not running any marathons this spring,
Hope to see everyone soon.

Sr. Connie, it is so lovely to hear you preach once again!! Sometimes, I look for the deeper meaning in scripture, while today I listened to the simplicity of the words Jesus spoke and was delighted with its simplicity. Thank you.
