If you Loved Me You Would Rejoice: Experiencing the Fullness of God: Homily for Sunday, May 22, 2022

The Fullness of God. In today's gospel, Jesus tells us that we should rejoice he is going to the Father. In another part of the gospel of John, Jesus tells us it would be good if he went to the Father. Why? Today's homily seeks to answer this question. Why is it better that Jesus returns to the Father?
