Fifth Sunday of Easter

“Jesus gives his disciples a new commandment: love one another”
1st Reading: Acts of the Apo 14:21-27 2nd Reading: Revelation 21:1-5a Gospel: John 13:31-33a,34-35
Is love the first word your family members, friends and neighbors use to describe their interactions? Love is difficult. Jesus' sacrifice for us is a perfect example of this. Yet because of love, the glory of God is fully revealed in Jesus. God's glory is revealed in us when we act as the Body of Christ, as individuals and as a community. In the love we have for one another whether difficult or challenging, it is in our sacrificial love—this is where we find Jesus.
In today’s Gospel (John 13:31-33a, 34-35) Jesus tells us to love one another. He also showed us how to love one another. In what ways did Jesus show us how to love? (in his acts of healing and forgiving; at the Last Supper as he washed his disciples' feet; in the gift of the Eucharist; and through his death on the Cross).
My brothers and sisters; as Christians We believe that the glory of God is seen when we follow Jesus' way of love. Consider whether your actions are consistent with Jesus' way of love. If not; what might you do differently?
God’s Blessings,
Deacon Michael W. Maurice; Worship and Religious Education Ministry. Saint Francis Ecumenical Catholic Church (ECC).
