What Way?

The question of Thomas, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" (Jn 14: ;5), is our question so often, when things are bleak: illness, surgeries to repair or replace joints, accidents, loss of jobs, deaths of family members or close friends.  These lead us to say, "This can't be the way God wants for me."  Jesus answered Thomas:  "I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."( Jn 14: 6).  Jesus turns the bleak into light, into life.  So often after one of these dark moments, a greater good, one that we never imagined, emerges and we see again that "God's ways", no matter how illogical or "messed up" they seemed at the time, were really the right ways. This doesn't make sense according to human logic, but in the divine plan, in "divine logic", it makes all the sense in the universe.  Ours is to look to Jesus as the Way, and follow in faith and trust, even in the worst cases.
