A Message From Fr. Jose – 17th May

Fr. Jose - Parish Priest

Fr. Jose – Parish Priest


Dear family members and friends, today we listen to the priestly prayer of Jesus. First of Jesus glorifies the father and prays to glorify Him because he had manifested the name of the Father. Thus, Jesus glorified the Father on earth by accomplishing the work given to Him. Jesus also prays for all those who believed in Him as they continue to live in the world. He accepts all them as His own and as such they are of the father also.

Jesus reveals that intimate relation between the Father, Jesus and those who believe in Him. In today’s second reading Peter refers to this relation as even to share in the suffering gospel of Jesus and be glad. The Apostles continued this relation after the ascension of Jesus by devoting themselves in prayer together with Mary and others as we hear in he first reading. Let us try to glorify the Father by accomplishing the work given to us and being one with Jesus in prayer. Amen
