I am in My Father

            “I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you,” Jn 14:20.

“This is precisely what we were all made for. We feel a deep longing in our souls because at the moment, we are here on earth, physically separated from our heavenly Father and from the Trinitarian love we crave. Jesus promises that we will all be together for eternity but while we live here on earth, He gives us two ways to be one with Him: 1) the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, the pure spirit of love that He sent to be with us after He ascended into heaven and, 2) the Eucharist, His blessed body and blood in a form we can see, touch and actually take into our bodies and assimilate into every cell. Jesus knows our longing for Him - it is like His longing for His Father. He didn’t abandon us when He ascended, He left us spiritual and physical parts of Him so that we could all be one, to help satisfy this deep longing we all have. We must remember that we are all one through Jesus.      

                “Our hope lies in the resurrected Lord. That is our source of joy. We live a holy life here, following the Ten Commandments out of love for God, preparing us for the future eternal life with our resurrected Lord. Our love for Him keeps us persevering and loving Him, living a holy life to honor Him and to prepare for a future with Him. When we love Jesus, we also love the Father and He loves us as well; and even though we don’t see Him and don’t understand, we walk here with the Holy Spirit who guides us, instructs us and helps us live in this holy love. We can never lose hope. The Lord resurrected, conquered death and lives on preparing a place for each of us for all eternity. This what we hope for, to be reunited with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit through Jesus, to be in Him as they are in each other and as He is in us.”
