In his last discourse with his disciples, Jesus called them not servants but friends.

He did this precisely because he had confided his inmost self to them. All that he heard from the Father he told to them.

This same sharing he will do with us. The humble woman who touched the hem of his garments discovered this. So did the poor man at Bethesda, and the woman who was brought out to be stoned to death.

On resurrection morning he said he was going to ‘my Father and your Father’.

We can experience all this if we persevere in loving prayer to Jesus. We will learn to confide in him, to trust him, to understand that we are of importance to him, that we receive the light of truth from him.
