Seeing the Father: When God Shows Up in Closed Doors | Daily Readings | May 17, 2025

May 17, 2025 - Daily Catholic Lectionary Readings for the Saturday of the Fourth Week of Easter

"Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." This earth-shattering claim from Jesus transforms how we understand divine presence in our struggles. When Paul and Barnabas are driven from Antioch, it's not random persecution—it's the same God who turns limitation into expansion.

Our reflection explores:
1. The revolutionary claim of Jesus' divinity
2. How God's presence shows up in rejection and setbacks
3. Why the Trinity matters for our daily struggles
4. How limitation becomes the path to greater works

Readings covered:
Acts 13:44-52; Psalm 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4; John 14:7-14

Timeline:
00:00 Introduction
00:15 Reading I
01:27 Psalm Response
04:01 Gospel
05:05 Reflection

Perfect for anyone questioning God's presence in difficulties, seeking to understand the Trinity practically, or wondering how rejection might be divine redirection.
