From Father Greg

Dear Friends,

It is very important that whenever you are reading the Bible, you read it in context: knowing the intended audience and when it was written. In the 14^th chapter of John, Jesus is preparing his disciples for his own death. There is no self-pity but concern for others. “I am going to prepare a place for you then I shall come back to take you with me so that where I am you also may be.” That “you” is “us!” (John 14:3)

How do we get to heaven, to that place Jesus is preparing for us? How do we get to enjoy eternal life with God and all the saints?  We need to choose to live life the Way Jesus has shown to us. Christianity is more than just going to church or claiming to be a Christian. It’s a whole Way of life.

Could people look at my calendar, my bank statement, or my screen history and guess that I am a follower of Jesus Christ? The Way Jesus has shown us is a challenge and I want to thank you for coming to Mass to be part of a community that is committed to following Jesus. We can encourage each other to be part of the Way.

Alleluia,
Fr. Greg Esty
