Reflection Questions for the Readings for May 16, 2021 In the first reading Matthias is chosen to join the apostles as a “witness to Jesus’s resurrection.” In your journey of faith, who have been the most effective witnesses for you of Jesus’s light and life? In today’s second reading we hear the familiar statement “God is love.” As a Christian, how do you try to live this truth? In today’s gospel, Jesus prays to God that his disciples “may be one just as we are one.” What is the biggest obstacle to unity in your parish church? How might God be calling you to address this? This is our final week of the Easter season.
