Someone recently asked: “How can I get to know Jesus?” I said: “Read the Gospel of St. John, and especially the final discourse of Jesus, given at the Last Supper.”
Over these 5 Chapters, we hear Jesus revealing the secrets of his heart. He speaks of his relationship with his Father; of the meaning of his mission; of the greatness of the Christian vocation; of the activity of the Holy Spirit; of the mystery of the Holy Trinity.
Acts 6:1-7 1 Peter 2:4-9 John 14:1-12
I spent a good part of the past two years at Prinknash Abbey near Gloucester in England. They are a small community now, living in a quirky old building with a very interesting architecture and a very complicated history. In it there is a hall, which also serves as a chapter room and forms part of the library. On one of the bookshelves, in a prominent place, someone put a large-format picture book, cover up. The cover is shiny but very dark. It's a painting of a nun in a black habit with a black veil on her head. Only two things shine out brightly: the nun's face and the word “trust” written in large letters directly beneath it.
