I Am

 


Jesus said to him, 
“I am the way 
and the truth 
and the life. 
No one comes 
to the Father 
except through me.” 
(John 14:6)







Jesus is the path to God. By following His teachings and example, we can find our way to a meaningful and fulfilling relationship with God. He embodies the ultimate truth. His words and actions reveal the nature of God and the principles by which we should live our lives. He offers eternal life. Through Him, we can experience a life that is abundant and everlasting, both now and in the hereafter.

This verse emphasizes that Jesus is the only way to the Father. It calls us to recognize the unique role of Jesus in our spiritual journey and to place our faith in Him. These lessons encourage us to follow Jesus, embrace His truth, and seek the life He offers. 


I am the way, the truth, the life, 
In every joy, in every strife. 
I am the light that guides your path, 
The gentle whisper, the righteous wrath.

I am the vine, you are the branches, 
In me, your soul finds second chances. 
I am the shepherd, you are my sheep, 
In my embrace, your heart will keep.

I am the door, the open gate, 
Through me, you'll find your destined fate. 
I am the bread, the living wine, 
In me, your spirit will align.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, 
The beginning and the end, 
In every moment, I am your friend.

I am the healer, the great I Am,
In every prayer, in every psalm. 
I am the love that never ends, 
In me, your broken heart mends.


Dear Lord Jesus,

We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. You are the way, the truth, and the life. In You, we find our path, our purpose, and our peace. We thank You for being our guide, our light, and our salvation.

Lord, help us to follow Your way, to embrace Your truth, and to live in Your life. Strengthen our faith and fill us with Your love, so that we may reflect Your grace in all we do. May we always seek Your presence and trust in Your divine plan.

In times of doubt, remind us that You are the vine, and we are the branches. In times of fear, remind us that You are the good shepherd, and we are Your flock. In times of need, remind us that You are the bread of life, and we are nourished by Your word.

Blessed be Your holy name, now and forever. Amen.

Gospel Acclamation
This is the will of my Father, says the Lord, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life. 

Gospel | John 14:1-6 (or John 6:37-40)

1 Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. 2 In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. 4 Where I am going you know the way.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
