will do the same works that I do; and he will even do greater than these, for I am going to the Father. Everything you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Indeed, anything you ask, calling upon my name, I will do it.

Reflections

“Lord, show us the Father.”Director Franco Zeffirelli after filming the movie entitled Brother Sun, Sister Moon, once said, “I discovered Francis, I discovered Christ.”Francis of Assisi succeeded in imitating Christ. He became a living image of Jesus as described in the gospels. The movie director came to know more about Christ when he was filming the life of St. Francis for Hollywood.Jesus tries to convince his disciples to know more about him- self, because the more they know him, the more they will know the Father. Jesus serves as their tangible  bridge  to  the  Father. The Father  in  heaven  is  accessible only through Christ. The disciples must believe in Jesus’ claim. They do not have to argue or to prove it with their reasoning or experimentation. All they have to do is to follow him, learn more about him as they journey with him. Jesus is still in the process of revealing everything about the Father. We  learn  more  about  Jesus and the Father, when we follow Jesus in real time. Movies about Jesus in reel time can help, but we can know him more when we live our faith guided by his teachings as preached by our Church.
