Fr. John Meoska writes about searching for family members through what he called “the marvel of the internet” and located an elderly second cousin I had never met. The cousin and his wife lived in Colorado, so he made plans to meet them. During his visit, the cousin asked, “Are you doing the same thing I am?” “Yes,” Fr. Meoska replied, for he knew exactly what he was asking. We were both looking for family resemblances in each other’s faces, gestures, and manners of speech. “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father,” Jesus tells Philip in the Gospel today. Jesus claims more than a cursory or superficial resemblance to our Father. Jesus is “one in being” with the Father, and so is the perfect reflection of the Father, the one Word spoken by the Father. Jesus’ discourse reveals that certain family traits, ways of thinking, acting, and speaking, help identify us as God’s people and his brothers and sisters. We recognize and follow Jesus as “the way, truth, and life.” By faith, we do the works that Jesus did, and even greater works than his because he is gone to the Father. Paul reminds us that, though we are born out of time as he was, as children of our Heavenly Father, we are commissioned to proclaim the Good News of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection through our words and, most importantly, how we live our lives.
