3 May 2026 – 5th Sunday of Easter, Year A
Acts 6:1–7; 1 Peter 2:4–9; John 14:1–12
H O M I L Y
Following last Sunday’s Gospel, in which Jesus presented himself as the gate of the sheepfold through which anyone who wishes to be saved must enter, we begin today the reading of the beautiful chapter 14 of John’s Gospel, which we shall continue over the next two Sundays, in which Jesus also presents himself as the Way, the Truth and the Life. In the passage we are reading today (and which we have already heard at weekday Mass over the last two days), two themes stand out in particular: that of the dwelling and that of the way.
