Words from Canon Niall
Jesus does not only tell us where to go. He is himself the Way (Greek, hodos).
And Jesus is not a way, but the Way. This is not to be understood in a narrow sectarian sense. The way of life that Jesus proposes is not just for a particular group of people – it is a way of life for every single person to follow. The heart of that Way is an unconditional love which sees every other person as a brother or sister, and a love which gives itself unceasingly in service
If we want to know where our lives, where any life, should be going, all we need to do is to identify ourselves totally with the attitudes, the values and the goals of life that Jesus lays down for us. And, as the Way, he is Truth and Life. Jesus is Truth not just because the things he says are true. His whole life, everything he says and does, all his relationships, have the ring of truth and integrity.
And, of course, he is Life. When we unconditionally decide to walk his Way, We, here and now, begin to live in the fullest manner possible. Thank you, Thomas, for asking that question. All we need now is to make the answer the centre of our living.
Have a blessed week.

Thresholds of Hope : the Vicariate for Adult Formation - another wonderful tool when proclaiming the good news of God's grace to all. St John Henry Newman believed that the lay faithful were to take a full part in the life of the Church, to be confident in expressing their Catholic Faith and willing to share its beauty with others.
