Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic Church!

4122 S. Bonham St.

Amarillo, TX 79110

Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus

prayed saying: "As you sent me into

the world, so I sent them into the

world. And I consecrate myself for

them, so that they also may be

consecrated in truth." - Jn 17:18

For the last three Sundays, we have been

hearing Jesus' farewell discourse before he

ascends into heaven. This Sunday, Jesus

concludes with a conversation with the

Father where he petitions on behalf of his

followers. In his words, Jesus' love for his

disciples, then as well as now, shines forth.

There is a sense that now we are all truly

one with him. We are consecrated in truth,

as he is consecrated as the truth.

As our Easter draws to a close, it is good to

reflect on how we represent Jesus Christ to

the world. We are truly the body of Christ,

the presence of Christ in a world that

oftentimes does not know him. Can the

world recognize him in us? Since we are

protected and consecrated in truth, do we

venture out boldly into a hostile world

bringing real peace? Do we testify to the

reality of the risen Lord each day, or do we

treat that reality like another story, which

we recall fondly? The season of Easter may

be concluding next week at Pentecost, but

we are to be Easter people all year through.

May the risen Lord

be with us as we

seek to share the

good news in our

daily lives with all

those we meet.
