TERESA OF AVILA OF SAINT JOSEPH FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Today’s reading from the Gospel of John is part of Jesus’ discourse at the Last Supper. Recall that John tells the story of Jesus’ Last Supper differently MASS INTENTIONS FOR from the other Evangelists. In John’s MAY 1 - 2, 2021 Gospel, the Last Supper begins with SATURDAY Jesus washing his disciples’ feet. Jes- 5:00 PM Gracia Emmanuel us then provides them with a series of Gustave (Birthday) instructions. We call this section the Last Supper discourse or Jesus’ farewell discourse. In these chapters of John’s 6:30 PM +Alfonso Pollard & +Elena Jarret Gospel, Jesus instructs his disciples about the importance of following his exam- ple of love and service, about the gift they will receive when Jesus sends them SUNDAY the Holy Spirit, and about their relationship with Jesus and with the world. The 9:00 AM +Sauveur & Andréa Last Supper discourse concludes with Jesus’ prayer for his disciples. Fortuné Today’s Gospel reading is taken from middle of the Last Supper discourse. Jesus 10:00 AM +Hendrickson Vitalis speaks about his relationship to his disciples. In his metaphor of the vine and the branches, Jesus is referencing the Hebrew Scriptures. In the Hebrew Scrip- 11:00 AM +John Grillo tures, Israel is the vineyard, and Yahweh himself tends the vineyard. One of the 1:30 PM +Ramonita Ruiz primary themes of John’s Gospel is to show Jesus to be the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel. 6:00 PM For the People of St. Joseph & St. Teresa In this passage, Jesus teaches his disciples that his relationship with them will not end after his death; he will remain with them always. This unity between Jesus and his disciples is the basis for their ability to continue to do the work that he began. Similarly, Jesus’ presence with us through the Gift of the Holy Spirit enables us to continue the work of love and reconciliation that he began. Jesus also teaches his disciples about the importance of the words he has tau- ght to them. Just as Jesus will remain in the disciples, so too will his words.
