Feast of Sts. Philip and James

The gospel today features Philip asking our Lord to "show us the Father." The answer: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." Indeed, Christ IS the ultimate Revelation of the Father. As written by John of the Cross: "In giving us his Son...he spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word...what he spoke before to the prophets in parts, he has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son."

A simple reflection for this feast day.
