"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by me. ”
Reflections by Fater Paul Beukes OMI
On this Fifth Sunday of Easter, the readings remind us of trust in Christ and shared service in the Church.
In the Acts of the Apostles, the early Christian community responds to challenges by sharing responsibilities, showing that the Church grows when everyone contributes their gifts.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” inviting us to trust Him completely.
As followers of Christ, we are called to continue His work through our lives, serving one another in faith and love.
