Fourth Saturday of Easter

Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.

It can be imposing to think that we are called to do greater works than Jesus, but we should not be afraid. Christ is always with us and gives us the graces we need to do the works of God no matter how great or small. However, if we want to go to our Father and partake in His Heavenly Banquet, then we must open ourselves to risking ourselves in the works of God. And one thing we must always remember is that it is far better to try and fail to accomplish God’s Will, then to fail to try at all.

How do we express our faith in God? What are the great and small works of charity and mercy we are called to do? What risks are we willing to take for Jesus?

O Lord, we believe in you. Help us to do your good works.

Amen.
