Today's readings are here: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/050412.cfm
"Let not your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me".
When the Lord allows suffering in our lives, it can be very tempting to lose our faith in his goodness and presence in our lives. We may stop believing that he knows what he is doing with us.
In today's Gospel, the Lord encourages us to trust in him when our hearts are troubled. He lets us know that he goes to heaven to prepare a place for us, and that he permits suffering to prepare us for that place. As Christ's suffering was for his glorification, so our suffering is for our glorification; everything must serve this end.
May God help us never to lose our faith in him.
