6th Sunday of Easter "As the Father LOVES me, so I also love you." - Mother's Day




May 10
Sixth Sunday of Easter

The message in today’s readings could not be more evident.  Count them with me.  The word Love is used eighteen times in the Gospel and Second Reading.  The Eucharist is always a love feast, reminding us that our first responsibility as baptized members of the Body of Christ is to do as Jesus taught us: love one another as he has loved us.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day.  It is fitting to remind ourselves of how good mothers model so well for us the kind of self-giving love that Jesus invites us to.  Let us pray that all mothers nurture the children in their care and love unconditionally as Jesus loves us.
