Do you ever wish you could just see God to make faith easier? On the Feast of St. Philip and St. James (Saturday, May 3, 2025), Fr. Samuel Hakeem OP reflects on this common desire through the lens of St. Philip's request, "Show us the Father." Discover Jesus' powerful response as he points away from external proof towards the depth of their existing relationship.
Fr. Hakeem explains that God isn't just a distant force to be proven, but a personal God of Love who desires relationship with us. True knowledge of God comes through interacting with Jesus – as friend, brother, Lord – especially in the intimacy of Holy Communion. This Easter Season reflection encourages us to dive deeper into relationship with Christ as the surest path to knowing the Father and strengthening our faith, especially amidst doubts.
