Perform my Father’s works

“If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” (JN 10: 37-38)

We do a lot of “works.” In our every work, there is a person behind it. Agere sequitur esse—doing follows being. People may not know us, but when they see our gentleness and respectfulness, our selflessness in giving, our creativity and joy, how we protect our relationships and how we defend people, as well as the unity of our families, they can be inspired just by “the works.” 

“Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.” (Verse before the Gospel)
