Friday 22 May

Acts 18:9-18; Psalm 47; John 16:20-23
On a journey
Today’s Gospel reminds us that, as disciples, we are still on a journey while we are on this earth. And like any journey, the faith journey has its ups and downs; its moments of challenge and frustration; its sense that we are out of step with everyone else and that, perhaps, we’ve lost our way. But there is also the promise of ‘arriving’, of reaching our destination – and that the journey has been worthwhile. And once that moment is reached, then we have the promise that we shall share in a joy that no one can take from us.
