Walking to the Father's House

We human beings need a friend, a brother who takes us by the hand and accompanies us to the "Father's house" (John 14:2); we need someone who knows the way well. And God, with his "superabundant" love for us (Ephesians 2:4), sent his Son not only to point it out but to become himself "the way" (John 14:6).
-Pope Benedict XVI
