Gospel Reading John 14 : 1-6
Fr George : The Lord be with you All : And with your spirit . Fr George : A reading from the holy gospel according to John .
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 going 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 ’
