FEAST OF SAINTS PHILIP AND JAMES, APOSTLES.

Feast of Saints Philip and James, Apostles

"Jesus said to Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life. 

"No one comes to the Father except through me.

"If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

"Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip?

"Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.

"The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.

"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. [THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF POWER AND EVANGELIZATION]. 

And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.” (John 14: 6 - 14).

Friday May 3rd 2024 in the 5th Week in the Easter Season is the feast of the Apostles Philip and James. 

"Jesus said to Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life."

The Way of Jesus is not like a super highway running from South to North America. Jesus’ Way is an easy Plan for our salvation. That Plan has 7 branches from one big Trunk which is Jesus. 

The Way that is Jesus has these branches:

1. Prayer. 

2. Word of God. 

3. Eucharist. 

4. Penance. 

5. Examination of Conscience. 

6. Spiritual Reading. 

7. Ministry /Faith Sharing. 

Saints walk on this Way. It leads to Jesus who is eternal life.
