Jesus: the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
During the Sunday Mass homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, +Bp. Romie-Jun Peñalosa reminded us that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
At the heart of our faith lies Christ’s death and resurrection. In the Gospel, Jesus begins with a comforting command: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Trouble comes from fear—of death. At times, we worry about our health or the uncertainties of life. However, we must not allow fear to dominate our hearts; instead, we are called to choose faith.
Moreover, we sometimes feel lost and uncertain, asking ourselves where to go or what path to take. In these moments, Jesus reassures us that He Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Therefore, we are invited to let Christ live in us so that we may fully live in Him. As we grow in faith, we begin to reflect His life in our daily actions. By trusting Him and opening our hearts, we allow His presence to guide our thoughts, choices, and relationships.
Consequently, living in Christ becomes a witness to others. When people see His love and truth in us, they come to recognize that Jesus is truly the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This journey begins with sincere faith and deep trust, leading us to walk confidently in His ways each day.
