When a funeral mass is being livestreamed it will be available on the parish website for 3-4 days but can still be accessed through YouTube. It will then be removed from YouTube after 2 months unless a family wish to contact us about this arrangement.

The X handle is @stmarysstjohns for those who wish to follow it.

GOSPEL:   John 14:1-12
At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let not your hearts be troubled.
Believe in God; believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many rooms.
If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again and will take you to myself,
that where I am you may be also.
And you know the way to where I am going.’ Thomas said to him,
‘Lord, we do not know where you are going.
How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him,
‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.
From now on you do know him and have seen him.’

Philip said to him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.’
Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long,
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 say to you I do not speak on my own authority,
but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
or else believe on account of the works themselves.
‘Truly, truly, I say to you,
whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do;
and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.’

PROMPTS FOR FAITH-SHARING

Reflect on what the word “home” means to you and the places that have been your home. How do these places impact how you envision the place Jesus is preparing for you?

What role does hospitality play in your life? How might you, called to be a “living stone.” help to create a home for others?

Do you find it easy or hard to trust God in the long wait for God’s promises to be fully realised?

Tuesday at 2pm
