SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER –A- MAY 21ST
, 2017
All who love me will keep my words, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them.
There is a great mystery of hope contained in today’s gospel and we should take courage from it.
The church has never been deprived of the truth of God. In the Holy Spirit we have a helper and
a comforter who makes Jesus present in each generation to every person in their individual
situation. But remember, the Holy Spirit will not arrive unannounced or force an entry into any
person’s heart. Jesus can only free and save those who seek to be saved. We will receive the
Lord’s spirit and grow in our awareness of Jesus only if we request it in prayer and follow the
law of God by keeping the commandments.
THIS WEEK: Monday: Victoria Day, St. Rita of Cascia; Wednesday: World Day of Prayer for the Church in China,
