“If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (Jn 14:15)
The Easter Season will come to an end with the Pentecost which cele- brates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles who were gathered at the Upper Room (Acts 2:1-14). Hence at this point, we are looking forward to the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus says in the Gospel of today: “If you love me you will keep my com- mandments. And I will ask the Father and He will give you another advocate to be with you always”. The statement began with the conditional verb “IF”. Here we understand that our Jesus is not in any way forcing us to love him and keep his commandment. It is basically our decision and choice to love him and to keep his commandments.
We also discover in this statement that the coming of the Holy Spirit should be preceded by Love and keeping of God’s Commandments. In other words Love and Obedience are the keys with which we can go to the Upper Room where we can receive the Holy Spirit.
Throughout our lives we can encounter disappointments and problems. They may be caused by financial, personal or family troubles, or even ques- tions of faith. Left to us these problems can cause sorrow and distress. But our hope is in the Risen Christ, who is present to us in his Holy Spirit and through his Church. If we acknowledge this, then we have reason for hope. The Risen Lord is our Hope at all times. May we carry this hope within us, al- ways ready to share it with others!
The Ascension of the Lord
Thursday, May 25th is the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord (Holy Day of Obli- gation). We confess in the creed: Jesus ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” The Ascension makes the end of Jesus’ life on earth and the begin- ning of the life of the Church on earth. At His Ascension into heaven, Jesus told His disci- ples to go all over the world and bear witness to the Gospel of life. May God help us to continue His life-giving mission!
God bless you, Fr. John Francis SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 5
We congratulate all our children who received First Holy Communion!
