Feast of Saints Philip and James, Apostles
John 14: 6-14
Life in Abundance

The Lord shows us that He is the way. Life doesn’t come with a GPS to guide us to our true destination. Unlike navigation systems, which direct us in the right direction, the path we are called to follow is within. It is a journey of self-discovery, where we find fulfilment in what we do, love what we do, and remain authentic in it. The key is not to become a reflection of others, but to know who we truly are and to understand what God desires for us in this life. That is the way—knowing ourselves, aligning our desires with God’s will, and walking with Him.

God calls us to show—not to prove to the world our identity but to unveil the truth of our lives that is rooted in Him. We should avoid the trap of seeking validation from others or endlessly trying to validate our worth. Relying on worldly approval leads to fluctuating emotions and a sense of unrest. Instead, we should strive to live authentically, embracing the knowledge that we are cherished by God. When we truly fall in love with life and fully embrace it, we reflect God’s presence within us.

God invites us to be His apostles. This is not a task we must fulfil alone; He is always with us, never abandoning us. His love for us is constant, unchanging, and unwavering. Jesus, who gave His life out of love for us, continually watches over us, not concerned with our imperfections but with our hearts. Take a moment today to feel His care for you, to recognise His love in the everyday moments of your life. Know that I am cherished, and this love invites me to share that same love with the world.
