Gospel: John 14:1-6
[replaced when day falls on St Joseph the Worker memorial 1 May]

Jesus said to his disciples:

‘Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God still, and trust in me.
There are many rooms in my Father’s house; 
if there were not, I should have told you.
I am going now to prepare a place for you, 
and after I have gone and prepared you a place, 
I shall return to take you with me; 
so that where I am,
you may be too.
You know the way to the place where I am going.’

Thomas said, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?’ Jesus said: 

‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No one can come to the Father except through me.’
