John 16, 16-20:
“But your sorrow will turn to joy”.
In today’s Gospel Jesus is speaking to his disciples about his coming death.
He predicts that they will weep and mourn for his absence.
But he also promises them the change of their sadness into joy.
It happens to us too sometimes that we feel the absence of Jesus. He seems to leave us, to go away from us.
And we feel sadness, tiredness, darkness and abandonment.
These are moments when we must have faith and hope.
Jesus is always there, even if sometimes the darkness hides the light.
Let us never doubt that every sadness placed in Jesus’ hands will turn into joy.
Place your sadness and the sadness of all people in his hands today, so that he may raise them to joy.
Good day.
