Weekly Message from Deacon Rob on the Sunday Readings
A note from Deacon Rob: This week’s message is
based on the readings for the 7th Sunday of Easter
rather than on the Ascension readings as I purposeful-
ly wanted this message to prepare us for the feast of
Pentecost, next Sunday.
As baptized Christians, we are all called to be
witnesses, martyoi, of the Lord. This calling requires us
to pattern our lives after the One who was sent by God
to restore order to creation and bring mankind back to
his original state. To this end, Christians are
determined to martyr themselves by sacrificing the
way of the world for the life of agape – sacrificial love.
To be filled with this type of love, Christians must be
filled with the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, promised by
Christ. Today’s readings relate the history of this
calling from the death of the first Christian martyr,
Stephen, to culmination described in the Book of
Revelation.
The first reading from the Acts of the Apostles reveals
how the deacon, Stephen, meets his martyrdom.
Clearly stating that Stephen is filled with the Holy
Spirit, today’s account reveal how this Christian
deacon not only testifies to the Truth of the Gospel
before the Jews but he, also, patterns his life after that
of the Lord. Acts relates that Stephen boldly accuses
the Jewish crowd of unfaithfulness and resistance to
the Spirit. Seeing a Heavenly vision, the deacon
describes his vision which enrages the populace even
more. They drive him out and stone him; thus, allowing
him the privilege of pattern his death after the Lord’s
by asking forgiveness for his murders with a final
request for Jesus to receive his spirit. Thus, through
the power of the Advocate, the early Church produces
her first martyr who has given all for the Lord.
In the second reading from the Book of Revelation the
final desire of all Christians expressed – the Coming of
Christ, along with the establishment of the triumphal
kingdom. In John’s vision, Jesus speaks identifying
himself as the “Alpha and Omega” – the beginning and
the end. This statement reveals the Divine Intention
that all was created for Him and all exists through Him
and in Him. Christ is the Divine Source after which all
Christians are called to pattern their lives. Jesus
affirms His role as the morning star and as the long-
awaited descendent of David. The prognostication by
John affirms for all Christians who are guided by the
Spirit that Jesus will return soon and that His followers
should hold fast to their faith despite the threats and
enticements from the world. This witnessing will entail
the work of the Spirit as the early Church undergoes a
persecution that threatens their very existence.
Today’s Gospel reveals the final desire of Jesus. Christ
expresses a desire that His followers experience a
unity like He has with His Father. This prayer has
several dimensions affixed to it. First, the Lord wishes
that the disciples themselves remain united with each
other. Knowing the future problems that His Church
will experience, Jesus prays that their unity not be
destroyed and that they continue to spread the Gospel
to the ends of the Earth – bringing redemption to all.
Secondly, Christ prays that their unity unites them with
the Divine. This unity would allow the ultimate desire of
God to be accomplished – His desire to dwell with his
creation. Christ’s physical absence will be problematic;
however, through the Advocate, the Spirit, the Divine
Mission can continue through their actions and bring
to final fruition the reclamation of Creation. As a result
of this union with the Trinity, the newly founded Faith
will stand as an example to the already fractured world
of the agape love of Christ.
So, Holy Mother the Church desires us to focus on the
Will of Christ reflected in His prayer to the Father. As
we prepare to celebrate Pentecost, next week’s
Solemnity, the Church reminds us to accept the future
God has in store with the same faith that Our Savior
had. Holy Mother the Church tells us that the road will
be filled with obstacles and distractions. Like the early
Christians, we will be tested and asked to choose
between the Kingdom and the World; however, the
Advocate will be always be present and guide our
responses. We only have to listen to the Word and
follow His calling. If we do and are willing to be
martyoi, we are assured union with the Divine and final
victory in the end. Come, Holy Spirit, come!

SAINTS OF THE MONTH:
St. BONIFACE JUNE 5
St Boniface was an English Benedictine monk
who chose to devote his life to the conversion
of the Germanic tribes in the eighth century.
Paganism was the way of life among the tribes.
The pope was able to get a letter of safe
conduct for him from Charles Martel, a
powerful Frankish ruler and grandfather to
Charlemagne. St. Boniface was made regional
bishop and began organizing the whole
German church. He established many houses of
prayer which took the form of Benedictine monasteries. During a
mission of preparing converts for Confirmation, he and 53
companions were massacred. St. Boniface lived the Christian rule: to
follow Christ is to follow the way of the cross, in this case to heal the
household of faith.
