Today’s first reading tells of Paul proclaiming what Jesus endured and that he rose from the grave so that we may be saved. He quotes the psalm that is spoken/sung today, You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.

In the gospel, Jesus said He provides a way for us. Thomas asks what way? He doesn’t know where Jesus is going. Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Amen!

It is still the Easter season! Amen! Alleluia! Jesus is risen!
