Fifth Sunday in Easter, May 22, 2011
Fr. Joseph Eddy, O. de M.
Gospel: John 14:1-12 “No one comes to the Father, but by me.”
Full homily text: I remember as children in art class that each year we would make pottery. Each of us would be given clay-like substance that was almost like “play dough.” The teacher would take the clay mold into these beautiful images: a vase, or a mug. I would think to myself, “Wow this is going to be great!” I would then take the clay and work with it, but it never seemed to go as I planned. It didn’t look as nice as the teachers or even many of my classmates.
Fr. Joseph Eddy is the vocation director of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy, founded to redeem Christians whose faith is in danger. The Order’s student house in the U.S. is in Philadelphia.
