God showed me that I am not alone
The Shalom community came into my life at the best time, it was a difficult but very beautiful moment. It came to stay in my heart forever. I met the community through a very good friend, a girl full of energy and noble heart. It was at a birthday party for both her and a Shalom missionary. I arrived at the party and since the first moment they welcomed me wonderfully, and bombarding me with a ton of questions … Where are you from?, What’s your name? What are you doing in USA? However, they did not bother me at all, on the contrary, I felt welcomed by everyone, even though they were complete strangers to me. At the end ...

Shalom showed me that I am a child of God

I was raised as a Catholic since I was a kid and although my family broke up when I was a child, I became quite involved with the church while attending school, but this dramatically changed when I was about 18 years old.

Jesus Reveals the Father: Whoever Has Seen Me Has Seen the Father
The Gospel of John 14:1-12, proclaimed on this Fifth Sunday of Easter, Year A, is set within Jesus’ long farewell discourse at the Last Supper (Jn 13–17). The apostles have just heard the announcement of Judas’ betrayal and Peter’s denial, and their hearts are troubled. It is in this context that Jesus pronounces the words of consolation that open this Sunday’s Gospel: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me” (Jn 14:1). The verse that synthesizes today’s meditation, however, is Philip’s request and Jesus’ answer: “Show us the Father, and that will be enough for us” — “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (Jn 14:8-9). It is one of ...
